The movies are built on extraordinary circumstances, but in real life you rarely have any last minute hail-marry improvisation.

Also consider Sky People improvisation i.e. outlawing second children, capital punishment for any misdemeanor, shock-lashings, deciding who is expandable (culling has a nicer sound, then choosing someone else to suffocate so you can live) And then there is Diana faction who adapted with extortion, assassination, bombing of kids pageantry show and were ready to kill anyone on the Ark just to get out.

Mountain Men has been played as the boogeymen so that fans wouldn't loose sympathy for the lead. But really they are no different then the Ark with someone like Diana end up to be in charge..
