    Its been a while but I have watched all but the latest one. It definitely has something to do with climate change. The first film he was still a cop and now he wanders a desert because of ecocide and societal collapse. What do you think happened between the first and second films to cause a wasteland?

    It definitely has a pro car message because he spends most of the films trying to fuel his car.

      Isn’t it true that the apocalypse in Mad Max was caused by nuclear war?

        I think that happened after Mad Max 2. Which made everything worse rather than causing the problems.

        From what I remember it’s reasource scarcity leading to societal collapse, I definitely remember fuel being very expensive. I suppose that doesn’t have to be directly climate related but you can make comparisons easily between the two.

        The car messaging is obvious though. You can’t have a load of cool heavily modded cars without it being pro car.
