I thought the extended point was that even at the end of the world, people will fight to stay alive, and not everything will die at the same time.
That was part of the tragedy of Furiosa in Fury Road: the green and pleasant land she remembered from her childhood, that we see in the trailer, wasn’t there any more when she returned. Everything is dying, even if it’s not all dead yet.
The Apocalypse is here in the Mad Max universe, but it is still in progress, and here and there there are still people raging against the inevitable dying of the light.
Furiosa: A Mad Max Saga , which hits theaters May 24th, is definitely one of those movies. A prequel to the epic, mind-blowing Mad Max: Fury Road , the first teaser trailer for Furiosa just dropped and it’s a banger
Fury road was hands down the best installment of the series. And I quite like the original films. But fury road was magical and insane, and totally worked for all that.
As far as explaining the timeline as it relates to all of the previous Mad Max films, it’s best not to even attempt to do that. Mad Max is really just a live action comic book series, and like most long running comic books, the time line has to be flexible. Like how Peter Parker is perpetually a teenager in Marvel’s 616 universe. Or how Steve Rogers was always made a super soldier in WWII and then frozen until modern times, so that the amount of time he spent frozen keeps growing. It will be interesting to see how Marvel handles Magneto when they introduce him into the MCU because it’s critical that that character survived the Holocaust. It’s his defining moment. So, in the Mad Max series, Mad Max is a constant, regardless of where in the timeline we are. So he’s there in the original film right at the beginning of the collapse, and then he’s with Furiosa in the Fury Road film which has to be, what decades after the collapse, but he’s still in his 30s or 40s? None of it really makes sense, but it doesn’t need to because it’s a comic book. This one just happens to be a live action comic book.
Yeah, that’s another way to look at it. These stories are our modern day mythologies. And just like there are varying stories about Zeus and Apollo and Aphrodite and Ulysses and Thor and Odin and on and on and on, and those stories aren’t all consistent, so too are out modern myths not internally consistent and they change all the time. It’s all good.
its not the bullet farmer who looses his nose, but besides that, Im sure it wasnt intentional that this big nose looks like a caricature semitic one, I mean, look at that schnoz:
