I rewatched (part of) Fury Road with some friends online yesterday and something that was really jarring, not having seen the old Mad Max movies, and not just because of the current *gestures*, is Max opening by saying he was a cop before the apocalypse.

Like it's a huge part of Max's original canon storyline that he's from the Old World and he lost his faith that the world could be saved after he saw his family die But given how far in the past the apocalypse seems to be in Fury Road it doesn't seem possible he's that old

The whole thing is just broad strokes, like the little girl in Fury Road isn't actually a character we've seen before but she's the *equivalent* of the wife and kid in Mad Max 1 (or the feral boy in 2, or the community of kids in 3) You just need to know Max has a family he lost

This is it I think. He's a hero of legend in the wasteland (less so in the first one which I think is more of a straight up movie about a bunch of stuff that happens) and maybe things happened, maybe they didn't, maybe he was there maybe he wasn't. Stories inside a made up world.
