Mad Max & Furiosa: The Most Complete Graphic Timeline 

@@michalismat5262 Comments like yours motivate me to continue. Thank you a lot :)

Thank you a lot 😊

@@roderickbeltran7474 exactly, the comic series is the bond between original trilogy and the new movies. I'm glad you liked it 🙂

@@SaiyanScholar the problem is: Tom Hardy's Max introduced himself in the intro of Fury Road: "once I was a cop". Even George Miller himself confirmed he is Max Rockatansky. I would love to see Mel Gibson back, but then the story to be few decades after the events of Fury Road - tv show or movie, anything

@@Mad_Max_World Thanks for that info! Yeah same. Maybe they could do a timeskip using Hardy and Gibson in the same movie. First half is Hardy, second Mel. Or even flashbacks and link it all up.

Yes, totally!

You are awaited in Valhalla! Thank you 😊

@@jesscanady thank you :) I hope as well, mad max game was also a good example of how far this world can go

Thank you :)

@@intothezombieapocalypse not exactly "after the end" but more like after the collapse. Collapse could mean many things, and the events of Mad Max 1 are already couple of years into the collapse ( violence hardly under control, oil shortages).

@@Mad_Max_World in Fury Road that old lady literally states when the planes fell. That happened before The Road Warrior. That was in the opening of that film. Max also states in Fury Road that he was a cop before the world went to shit, Mad Max movie. Which doesnt make sense because both Furiosa and Fury Road state the events take place 40 years later. no matter how much you try and make things make sense, it actually doesnt given the facts stated in the movies.

1979 to 2024 = 45 years

It's definitely a beautiful ending, probably better than the one from Fury Road

Him being born in the citadel is more of a plot hole instead of a timeline hole. Judging by the comics, Nux (a warboy from Fury Road) was born outside the Citadel, and then later he got recruited inside. I guess the rest of the war boys got recruited the same way. Citadel was already some kind of industrial water pump station built over an aquifer. Nearby lead mine (later called "buller farm") and an oil refinery ("gastown") had already workers living localy, and some of the members of the gang who occupied the citadel (before Immortan took it from them) can be seen wearing yellow construction helmets. When Immortan killed these people, it is higly likely he spared children and their innocent parents living around (at least he did that with the previos gangs he destroyed in the comics). So to make story short - war boy in Furiosa could be born there, but not in a way we think

@@Mad_Max_World Ok thank you ! It seems better this way. But Nux says he doesn't know what a tree is, for me it can only mean that he was born after the apocalypse

@@soulclone6 haha not hard to imagine if the area he was born is a desert, Australia is mostly like that + spiders and snakes

Oh noo! Now I feel sorry for not adding it, lol. The 40-day wasteland war is my biggest regret about the movie. Like why didn't they show the battle? Hopefully, they'll include it in the next movie! And thank you :)

@@Mad_Max_World yes I reallllly want to see this war! can be really cool

@@Mad_Max_World If you do make another video about the Mad Max canon/timeline make sure to alos include the Mad Max game (2015). I know there will be a few people that say it's not canon but to me it fits in perfectly.

@thejakeakar its just after Furiosa lost her arm and ran away from Dementus on the bike.

@@thejakeakar its just after Furiosa ran away from Dementus on the bike

@@Mad_Max_World ohhhhh man thank you a looot its around 1h 52 mint in the movie that shot,, now i can sleep wheeew but another question who takes Furiosa back to the cotidal where she is been dragged on the sand to the old woman who says "youll find peace here" is that suppose to be max who sort of saves her

@@thejakeakar we don't know for sure. Most likely it was Max who saved her as there was nobody else near Furiosa. At the moment Furiosa collapsed on the ground, Max stood and started looking at her direction. The citadel is also too far in that scene for a worm lady to just come and drag her back

@@Mad_Max_World right ,,,,thank you my man keep up the god work ..🤘🏼🤘🏼🤘🏼

@@OzyWazza No worries; I'm glad you like it! :) I would like to see Mel as an old Max as well, but on the other hand, I like Tom's Max, and I think the idea of replacing actors is good for the continuity of the franchise (kind of like what we have with superheroes, James Bond, etc.). I don't want Mad Max to have same destiny like Rambo franchise - can you imagine someone else but Stallone playing it?

That's what I thought so max is about 70 in this movie

The trailer wasn't made by Kennedy Miller Mitchell. It just did the same thing as the Ghostbusters 2016 trailer where it referenced how long it'd been since the original movie while playing into the story for dramatic fashion.(Mad Max 1 - 1979 - 2024 = 45 years). George on the other hand says it takes place 45 years from next Wednesday or whatever, he has never explicitly said it takes place 45 after a nuclear war.

Mad Max are not films that seek to imagine what our future could be. Mad Max 1 takes place as much in an alternate reality as in “a few years”. From 2, the creation of the Wasteland is more the creation of a magical world, outside of our reality, it is the world of stories... Absolutely wanting to find a timeline, putting dates, it's Nice fanfiction, but it misses what the films are about. Mad Max 1 is a biker film, Mad Max 2 is a film that arises from the Iran-Iraq conflict, it is an allegory of this era. Mad Max 3 incorporates the nuclear question because it was the one that occupied people's minds at the time, Fury Road and Furiosa tackle other subjects, water, humanity... Beyond that, we have for example a date in Mad Max 1: MFP established in 1983. But Furiosa's History Man has a "wifi" logo written on his jacket... Miller changed the nature of the wasteland and its links with our times from a movie to another, so... All this to say that Mad Max is not Soleil Vert which sought to predict what our world could be like 50 years later, absolutely wanting to create a timeline is a fun exercise, but futile.

@@rockguitarist931 thank you 😊

Haha not sure why they mirror Mel in that box art, but I saw this issue recently and I like it as its painting style remids me of old school Star Wars painting posters. About shotguns, I imagine gangs took plenty from MFP and decided to stick with them, although I wish we see more of automatic rifles. And I totaly agree with you about Hardy looking younger than Mel in MM3, which is funny considering their age when filming these movies

@@Mad_Max_World The artwork is really good, though. I've just never understood why graphic designers - and I say this as a graphic designer - feel the need to "flop" images when they slap them onto box art or posters. Directors do it in movies too. As much as I love Sam Raimi, I have to levy the legit crit that he overuses that "flopping" technique. If that's even a "technique." Directors usually favor the forest over the trees. They tend to be "big picture" thinkers. Contrast with us, the audience members, who pick up on nitty-gritty details with a Columbo-like mindset. It explains why directors have a different concept of "continuity." What they think fixes continuity actually ruins it for the audience. They're more concerned with which side of the screen an actor's face is on, whereas we're more concerned with the details of the actor's face. So if they're wearing an eye patch over their right eye, then the next scene is "flopped" so it looks like the eye patch is over their left eye, we might feel insulted by that.

Well, Miller is becoming known for saying one thing and then switching to another answer when asked the same question by different interviewers. I've seen him first say that the Furiosa movie takes place within 15 years, and then later change his answer to 18 or 19 years. The detail you noticed about the peach tree is true-Google says it takes between 2 to 4 years for a peach tree to grow. For that reason, the 40-day war likely finished around 15 years after Furiosa was kidnapped, plus a few more years for the peach tree to grow and the events of Fury Road to start. This gets us to approximately 7,000 days, or 19 years, since Furiosa was kidnapped ( her own words in Fury Road ). Regarding the question about the Interceptor-judging by the comics, it's not the same Interceptor from Road Warrior. In fact, Max started building it again in MM3. The carriage at the start of that movie, with camels, had parts of his new Interceptor - but we don't see it. George Miller actually had an idea in the '80s to tell the story of Max rebuilding it by making a TV show, but it eventually got canceled.

@@Mad_Max_World Yeah. I think the bulk of the Furiosa movie is 15 and then, in the end we have this 4ish year time skip before leading into Fury Road. I guess Furiosas comic also fits into that time window. What really interests me is, will Millers next prequel be the retelling of the “year before” Max storyline be the same as the comic. Cause technically we already would fully know what happens, and besides Miller knows that the video game story, though not canon still spoils a lot of stuff. What gives me hope that the max prequel is actually something else than the Hope & Glory story is: 1. Miller stated it’s a year before Fury Road, and in Fury Road Max has long hair and beard, which takes time to grow. While at the end of the Max prequel comic he is still just with short hair. About a year to grow that? For myself - definitely. 2. I think part of the poetry of this new trilogy, is how directly the prequels lead into Fury Road and make rewatching Fury Road more powerful. I think this theme will return in the next film. + Max is truly Mad in the beginning of Fury Road. What happened? There must be something there…

@@karlisdrukteins7962 Sadly, the future of that movie depends on how well Furiosa performs in cinemas + digitally. Even though it's not performing well, a good portion of its budget was paid by Australia ( some info mentions even 50% ) So we have to wait and hope for the best. As you noticed, there is much more to say about this universe. So many towns like CItadel and Bartertown, and so many leaders like the ones we've seen in a video game.

@@Mad_Max_World My hope is that when in goes digital, people will finally see it, cause it will be cheap and easy, and word of mouth about how awesome this film is will spread like wildfire.

Well, he wouldn't recognize her in Fury Road because she had long hair before, and she wouldn't recognize him because she fainted. Even though he could still remember her since she has only one arm, there are plenty of other people with disabilities seen in Fury Road. Plus, many years had passed by the time they met again. Btw thank you, I'm glad you liked it 😊

Max is insane. So I don't think he remembers most of the people he "helps"

En este universo donde ponen pinchos y sierras hasta en una taza imagino que no sería raro ver gente con un solo brazo😅 de hecho en la ciudadela salen muchos mutilados

@@shanelefever7704 If that was a case, do you think Tom Hardy's Max would have a same journey as Mel Gibson's Max (Toecutter, Lord Humungus etc.) or different one before he reached to events of Fury Road?

That tattoo says 12045 days since the start of collapse I believe. George Miller never bothered answering when exactly collapse happened, so events of Mad Max 1 are probably years into the collapse already

12045 is not his age, you can't know how many days is a drifter you captured. It's a date... A symbolic one, when you figure out it's 33 years...

@@Roberto-tu5re I guess thats the reason we see so rarely new Mad Max movies. It takes time for Max to encounter other people 😄 Btw I've been in Andalusia last year, and with the temperatures you have in summer it realy feels like Max Max

@@Mad_Max_World As I type this it is 21.20 hrs and 32c and I live on the coast

I would like it if he were, but according to the canon story, they are not the same person-just the same actor. George Miller loves casting the same actors in different roles (for example: the pilot from MM2 is not the same pilot as in MM3).

Nope,it's wrong

@@Karl-nv5ok wrong without and explanation

Well, in the Mad Max comics, it's noticeable that Max was scavenging for parts for his new Interceptor (I've included those scenes in the video). For example, the original idea behind Max's chariot (the one we see with camels at the start of Mad Max 3) was to carry those parts. George Miller even had an idea back in the '80s to continue Max's story with a TV show. Episodes of that show would be about Max collecting those parts and doing small side quests. Fury Road comes after MM3 simply because George Miller decided so after he created the story for the comics together with Mike Sexton. Btw, Mel Gibson’s portrayal of an older Max is funny since he was only 28 during filming, while Tom Hardy was around 34.

That theory has been popular for some time now. It's cool, but there are a few reasons why he is Max and not the feral kid: 1. George Miller debunked it himself. 2. At the start of Fury Road, Max mentions, 'Once, I was a cop.' 3. Max's jacket has the thick black stitching on the left shoulder (from Bearclaw Mohawker's damage in Mad Max 2), and the left sleeve is cut off. 4. The leg brace.

@@liskeke well, since the comic series got released in 2015 (with George Miller being involved) they made the events of Fury Road the direct continuation of original trilogy. In the comics they portrayed Max from original trilogy to look like Tom Hardy's Max. Also the intro of the 1st Mad Max movie is - a few years from now

@@Mad_Max_World Well, Miller doesn't give a fuck about continuity or chronological order. The highway sign in Mad Max 1 clearly states that it's year 1983. Road Warrior takes few years later from first film. Thunderdome takes 15 years later around beginning of 2000's. The captain Walker scribble set him out for a journey in 1999. Why so desperately piece timeline together if Tom Hardy's Max is it's own timeline and world - same with the game. Miller obviously changed Max kid from being boy to daughter as well. There are many errors that ruins the fitting canon and that's completely okay. People can't just seem to accept that the first trilogy is it's own thing and comics and Furiosa/Fury Road another sagas

@@liskeke@liskeke The game is not canon with the films, WB made the game, not Miller; he was making the director of God of War, Cory Barlog.

@@cblades2002 as I said - it is it's own world. They used lots of Miller's notes on the lore tho.. giving him no credit. That's why there are many connections to Furiosa and Fury Road via characters - Scrotus being the elephant in the room

Do you have an evidence to prove this wrong?

It’s the best breakdown I’ve seen and I actually dig it so unless u got anything to add it correct 🤫 😅

@@daimonatkins3046 Yes ask George Miller lol the movies arent meant to line up in any sort of dateable timeline FAN THEORY

@@steves6823 it’s why there’s an argument to be made that Tom Hardy’s Max isn’t the same as Mel Gibson’s Max as shown with the theory involving the wild kid from Mad Max 2 or even just with how besides some minor parallels Hardy’s Max seems to have lived a different life and might’ve been fleshed out more had Miller been given the chance to direct his Mad Mad The Wasteland follow up to Fury Road and Furiosa

Miller said this isn’t the case outright
