New BoB Inaccuracies and do they matter?

[KryptKeyper]

I was going through some pictures of the new FR vehicles, the BoB in particular and noticed it's inaccurate in a few places. There's only one tank in the back and it's missing the tail spoilers as well. Could add to theories about this Max being a different Max/ Alternate timelines, etc.

I must confess that a new theory is gaining steam in my mind:

I still think Fury Road is an alternate universe depicting a new continuity.


Maybe Max II wasn't a "conventional cop" of the pre-apocalypse era like Max Prime, but a "Road Warrior" (by his same admission - the War Boys also tattooed that "official classification" on his back), a kind of sheriff/guardian for a post-apocalyptic clan. NO MFP, NO Sun City, no pre-apocalypse Police as in "Mad Max" (1979).
Maybe he used the term "cop" in a figurative way. Because he also claimed: "I was a Road Warrior".
What do you say?

He's 37 years old and the apocalypse happened 33 years before - according to the tattoos on his back.

Definitely something I've been playing with as well. I also hear that FR is 45 years after the apocalypse event as well as the 33 years you mentioned, though I'm not sure which is accurate and Miller refuses to date the thing in any conferences I've seen. I also saw a claim on the Mad Max wiki that FR was originally going to have a character called Drifter played by Mel and that Hardy's Max would be either a different character taking the name of Max or a descendant of Mel's Max. I need to rewatch it again, I'm sure I'm missing some details in all the action.

Not a theory but fact , Fury Road is not connected to the first trilogy , we have a new Max , a new story and a new Interceptor much like a new Batman and new Batmobile

No what i cant believe is after 6months of George Miller interviews where he clearly states that Fury Road is NOT A SEQUEL people still dont want to know about it (I mean George Miller... PFFFTTT!!! Im a fan and HE IS WRONG!!!) and prefer to live in this strange fantasy land and endlessly discuss something despite the facts being known.

Fury Road is NOT a sequel. The Interceptor is not meant to be exactly the same as the previous version. (As if it could be magically revived after being rolled and blown up!)

Exactly.

He's 37 years old and the apocalypse happened 33 years before - according to the tattoos on his back.

But in the first Fury Road comic, we see Charlie and Roop, and we see their yellow interceptors. This tells us the MFP existed. I think the only way Max's claim of being a cop squares with this is if we go with the theory that the coastal cities, and a federal government of some sort, managed to hang on for many years while the wasteland anarchy situation depicted in the film simultaneously developed in the interior of the country.

That's the scenario of my Fury Road Timeline, minus the MFP. Because this is a clear "reimagining" and I'm building my timelines upon the movies.
