On a slight tangent, how come in the Mad Max movies (not the first one) the ‘societies’ he encounters seem to be the products of multi-generational effort, especially Fury Road.
In the first one, there’s a more or less functional world almost as we know it. Then he goes out into the deserts and it’s like 100 years passes.
Max is not just one guy. He is an amalgamation of road warriors remembered in legends by the post-apocalyptic societies they helped
That's one way to interpret it, but I don't think the movies ever actually tell us that. The game certainly suggests something else entirely.
I love how the video game does it. It makes more sense Max is a doomed soul forever wandering the wasteland never able to rest. And how all the time has passed but he still remembers earth before
