Mad Max is like, the one franchise there should never be a “final”…
Like, I thought Miller had just explicitly said by now that it’s always the same story, just different retellings during different parts of the apocalypse.
As time goes on the people telling and hearing the story are more and more removed from what life was like. The first one was everyone remembering pre-event, then just adults telling it, then no one remembering pre-event. To them, it has always been the Wasteland.
Details change to match what current reality considers important, but it’s always a hero story about how one person can still make a difference.
That’s why Max never ages, and why it never made sense as a series. It’s just the same story being told over and over again, and we’re skipping decades between retellings so it’s not a gradual unnoticed change.
That’s how oral story telling works, and I never saw a book in Mad Max.

whatever happens with it, hope they atleast return to doing live stunts. the cgi stunts were really obvious/bad in furiosa
