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.

Miller was probably thinking he would make a movie with a realistically aged Max starring Mel Gibson again but then stuff happened
-
Yeah, there's a loose canon with the movies (Max hurts his leg in the first movie, which is why he has a brace in Fury Road). But the chronology is Max starts off as a cop in a dystopic future and a nuclear war happens offscreen between the movies.

No, I definitely think he is a different Max. Maybe someone who has taken on that mantle to obscure an even worse history of his own
-
The Fury Road Max actually being the feral kid from Road Warrior all grown up was a popular theory early on, I remember.

I mean, would you say Tom Hardy couldn’t play Joel Miller post-apocalypse? The age difference doesn’t seem that massive
