I completely understand your passion for George Miller's work, especially the Mad Max series! His ability to weave together intense action with a unique vision of a post-apocalyptic world is truly unmatched. And yes, the Happy Feet series is another testament to his versatility as a director.
The Mad Max franchise indeed started with a bang in the early '80s, capturing the essence of action-packed storytelling with a surreal twist. After a long hiatus and the detour into the animated world with Happy Feet, Miller's return with Mad Max: Fury Road in 2015 was nothing short of spectacular. The film not only revitalized the franchise but also set a new standard for action cinema, earning six Academy Awards.
While Furiosa might not have replicated Fury Road's box office success, it's still a significant addition to the Mad Max saga, further exploring the rich lore of this dystopian universe. As Fury Road marks its 10th anniversary, diving into a Mad Max marathon is a fantastic idea. Here's how you can catch all the action online:

However, I agree with you that watching Furiosa as the final movie in your marathon enhances the experience, especially given how it builds on the characters and events from Fury Road.
George Miller has hinted that the future of the franchise hinges on Furiosa's performance. Although it didn't set the box office on fire, Miller's enthusiasm suggests he has more stories to tell in the Mad Max universe. Reports indicate he has a script ready for another film, possibly "The Wasteland," a sequel to Fury Road. With other projects on his plate and the high costs associated with these films, the next installment might take some time to materialize. But given Miller's track record, it's certainly something to look forward to.
