I did my best to make sense out of the fact we have a "younger" Max operating in a post-apocalyptic Australia where its communities existed for "decades".

Hope you like it!

For any revision, just tell me.

Obviously, it's different to the other films but I can't see MFP been formed after the nuclear war - not that I'm expecting MFP to even be mentioned. Very interesting though because Immortan's Citadel does seem to have been operating a decent length of time.

This was the original: http://www.madmaxmovies.com/archives/we ... chron.html

Disclaimer - NOT THAT I'M SUGGESTING FURY ROAD FITS INTO A TIMELINE OF THE ORIGINAL FILMS.

No, it existed previously. Max just joined the ranks. It wasn't a nuclear war, rather a very limited nuclear exchange...

As I'm writing this I can almost hear the ribbing I'm going to get for it.....but I recon Fury Road is set between MM2 and MM3 .the history from MM1 and mm2 still fits except for the interceptor.....My theory is that the feral kids memory is fading along with his dimming vision and Max never returned to the compound after delivering the rig and receiving payment....he simply disappeared back into the wasteland , leaving the feral Kid with nothing but memories of rejection ( "get outta here kid...scat ) Given none of the compound members ever even took the time to teach him to speak.....the attention Max showed him stuck with him through the years until the memory of Pappagalo and max merged into one saviour figure......it was actually Papagallo who drove the rig....getting killed in the final crash . this film seems to show us what would happen if the interceptor was not destroyed and Max continued on the path he was on before running in with the compound . Given this film appears to be sporadically narrated by Max ( not seen in previous films ) perhaps it is Max saying "this is what really happened " which would also explain Max's bewildered "where am I "look as opposed to the cool calmness of the Road warrior ( embellished in the feral kids memory ) George has called this a re-imagining rather than a re-boot or stand alone film . the last 2 films are from childrens perspectives , told many years later , I think this is Max's version of events that saw him transition from damaged cop to "learning to live again " . old ground I know...but I'm just saying this doesn't need to be an alternate universe....... just another version of events in the same timeline .

ummm... all very well, but George Miller destroys that theory in a number of articles when he tells us Fury Road isnt a sequel.

I'm hearing you roadwarriormfp.....But it is a sequel ( to an extent anyway ) this isn't a new charater....he has obvious connections to the past films .I think george ( not to try and put words in his mouth ) is saying its not MM4 or MM1.5....but it is still in sequence with past event's ( again to an extent ) which makes it a sequel , however loose . Clearly George is ignoring certain events from the past films...put he is also paying close homage to others....I think he is very wise in letting the audience decide what fits and how , being quite mirthful when pressed on the details and continuity etc .

Very good, but given what Miller said in certain interviews, he did destroy this kind of theory.

I know man , I've read same interviews on here.......but he doesn't ever state that Fury Road has no connections with the old films....he just stated its not an out and out sequel to Mad Max 3 and it's not an out and out prequel to MM2 . I understand that re-imagining has connotations of some sort or re-telling of the story (" re" being the consummating pre-fix ) I'm not one of those people who has to make everything neatly fit , I just think it's not as far set from the original trilogy as some have surmised

I think the theory fits though, Miller seems to change his statement on the movie on some interviews so i can still see this one as a sequel. Just like what mahenoguy said, the previous movies are legends told by the children that witness the events, some events could be their imagination. But if you see the vehicle and the places in Fury Road, it looked like it took place after Thunderdome. Then again, there's those prequel comics....

Back to Uncle's conundrum about people existing in the wasteland for "Decades "I would suggest that they had been there before the apocalypse . Most agree M M1 was set before any nuclear exchange...but the wasteland was already a prohibited zone .perhaps law and order...civilization as such , had already long collapsed in this area before the war causing the government to give up control over the wasteland before they were themselves disbanded ( hence the name wasteland.......given the whole world is a wasteland by MM3 it would probably just be called "the world "but it is denoted as a wasted land )Another clue is in Max's dialogue for the new film . He states "AS the world fell "as opposed to "When the world fell " maybe suggesting it was more of a gradual decline , culminating in a nuclear exchange...not so much caused by one
