The best theory I've ever heard for the shakiness of any definitive mad max timeline is that when you're watching a mad max movie, you're watching a folk tale about an archetypal "man in black" or "knight errant" that is told and retold and changed in a verbal history, rather than watching the events depicted first-hand (like the viewer is watching a cinematic adaptation of a story told around campfires in the wasteland) The max's are always different men, who only maybe existed in any sense, and whose actions in the wasteland inspired stories of influential strangers that got blended into a monomyth. It's the head-canon I live with anyway

When the max and the gyro captain meet in mm3, they share a look of " don't I know you " can't be the only one who noticed that

There's a Nissan R32 Skyline in Fury Road. There's also a Tesla emblem on the dashboard of the Gigahorse. There isn't supposed to be a set year timeframe.

Regarding Barter Town, Katherine Janeway summed it up nicely "Someone has something someone else wants and trade is born"

miller has said in interviews that after Mad Max 1, there isn't a fixed timeline that we see the stories told about MAX through oral history and legend. Also the mad Max game is an excellent source of lore

Also lead additives in fuel weren't officially banned until 1991 so it's possible that excessive use of lead additives in gasoline could also significantly contribute to the fall of society.

My dad watched these movies as a kid. I will always remember when we found the disc set that had road warrior and thunder dome. We watched RW and I loved it so much. I already had experience with Mad Max because I played the 2015 video game but that was my first time watching any of the movies. That’s one of my favorite memories of my dad

Another interesting thing is, a piece of ancillary media I can't remember stated the Pacific Ocean is drastically more shallow and receded while the Atlantic is flooded and the Ice Caps have melted. This is because the fact all the nuclear weapons in the world being shot in all directions from 7 different nations had tectonic/volcanic consequences that significantly altered ocean currents (which, in turn lose their ability to regulate climate). So, it's said Sidney harbor is dry and we see the salt desert that used to be underwater because the Australian Pacific Coast is now 500km further out. It creates an environmental feedback loop with the additional myriad effects of nuclear war that affect the entire area of the world and keep getting worse. Meanwhile, coastal America and Europe are now underwater and the effects of nuclear war are likely even worse there. Meaning these parts of the world are even more irradiated with infrastructure even more ruined while being submerged and possibly even seeing a mini Ice Age. Not good.

Bryce making a forty five minute video dedicated to Mad Max?? SIGN ME THE FUCK UP!

I feel like Max is a name given to heroes by the storyteller. Anyone could be Max

It makes perfect sense that he would also direct happy feet… When you’re good at something it’s crosses all mediums.

Can’t thank you enough for this long in depth video on the wasteland of Mad Max.

Quentin Kenihan, who plays Imortan Joe's son, Corpus Collosus, was told by doctors he probably wouldn't live long enough to see puberty, let alone live up to the age of 50. I'm really glad to see he's still here with us and was ecstatic to see him in the mad max movie.

" hey fella! Hey fella!.... What a turkey... Hey fella, you're a turkey! You know that?"

Bro forgot the videogame

I was 18 years old when mad max came out and one of my friends older brother was in the vigalanties mc. 13 years later i moved into a house a few streets away from mays house. Cheers from Australia

Nice to hear some insight into World of Mad Max

The making of Mad Max could be a movie all on it's own!

Its fun to think that the Rock Riders were actually formed by former motorcross and freestyle champions surviving the apocalypse the way they do best
