Nux was still a piece of crap


He didn't join our heroes/anti-heroes out of morals or ethics. He failed Immortan Joe who then shunned him which led him to be spiteful when it was his ineptitude that earned Joe's scorn in the first place

I disagree. Yes, that was the path Nux was on till the final moment. But when the end was upon him, he saw everything clearly and knew what must be done. But there was no future in which Nux had a happy ending. His goose was cooked. Would Nux have made a different decision if a cure awaited him? Probably. But they're all mad.

Yup! That's the basis of his character right there, morals and ethics don't come into it. This was a guy who knew his time on Earth was very limited as were his options. He chose the only path open to him that involved love, which is as much as anyone could ask.
