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.

I mean I'm not saying Max should be an old man necessarily - the apocalypse is clearly still within some people's living memory - just that if Mad Max 1 was canon then he was old enough to have a wife and kid when it happened and Tom Hardy wasn't quite old enough

Miller was probably thinking he would make a movie with a realistically aged Max starring Mel Gibson again but then stuff happened

Immortan Joe, the Bullet Farmer and the People Eater were all pre-war in some way or the other. The first two were army buddies, the third was a bureaucrat who sold them info for protection. The comic covering all this is pretty good, btw.

Joe in particular is described as "veteran of the oil wars, hero of the water wars".
