[@JamesTobiasStewart]

The director even said that Mad Max films past the original, could be viewed like campfire retellings of old tales. Which could explain details like Max not seeming to have aged, when he should actually be closer to Joe's age, since we know the original Max was around pre-apocalypse. It could be that Max is just like James Bond and simply doesn't age, but it could also be that all the legends of 'The Road Warrior' this mythical relic of the old world, wandering the wasteland to slay the wicked, protect the virtuous and then vanish without a trace; have all coalesced into a single figure, when it reality these films "truth" may have involved multiple different people who have just been rolled into Max's legend. Plus even in the Bond version where it is all the same Max who simply doesn't age, Max gives his name in a single scene (to only a small group of people), reveals almost nothing about his past, displays incredible skills & then vanishes almost as soon as the battle is won, having contributed to massively changing their society in just a few days. Such a person would not take much help to slip into legend, especially since for the inhabitants of the citadel, there's not much more to go than that. They know nothing of the events of films 1-3. To them Max came from nowhere, helped to completely change all their lives (including unveiling the corpse of their former god-king) & then simply disappeared forever.

It's difficult to overstate the greatness of the Mad Max universe. I feel sorry for people who wrote off Fury Road for ideological reasons, no other reboot has been so true to the source material, both in style and substance. I hope we can squeeze another Mad Max film or two out of George Miller, and that if another artist takes the helm, they stay true, rather than market driven.

[@cosmicwartoad2587]

Here's an idea. All the old world's knowledge is stored on a (still fucntioning) internet server in a mythical place known as 'the cave of knowledge) and watched over by a self-proclaimed tribla warlord or king who hold the key to rebuilding civilisation again.

[@arihoyzn2781]

Great job. I particularly enjoyed how you created a concrete world. I just stumbled upon this, so I apologize for the very late input. A few personal notes, though: - 4:28 White pigment on the War Boys/War Pups: Production notes may have stated that they're the "uniform" of Immortan Joe's army, and weaved into film canon as emulation of their leader/god. However, I think, instead of dye, it's actually body paint meant to protect them from the harsh post-Apocalyptic sun out in the Outback. I only postulated this because of a similar motif in the Ghost Clan of the videogame Rage (2010) as well as on the character Scrooloose (played by Rod Zuniac) in Mad Max: Beyond Thunderdome (1985). All three may have been inspired by Aborigine body paint (which is actually more ceremonial in purpose and less SPF 50). Another point that may supports this is that neither of Joe's sons, the techs, his wives, or Imperator Furiosa were required to cover the bodies in white pigment. It may be because they spend most of their time protected from direct sunlight. - 6:05. That they spray chrome paint specifically on their mouth, with their lips pulled back to expose their teeth, is in emulation of front grills found on luxury, vintage, and "pimped-out" cars. As you mentioned, much of Immortan Joe-based belief system (and Max Max lore, for that matter) revolves around cars.

@@SuperGman117 Well, actually Fallout has very little in common with Mad Max other than being set in a post apocalyptic wasteland. There is a vastly greater presence of communities, settlements, factions and overall population in Fallout. And the stories are usually full of hopeful resonance to a greater future. The narrative to evrry game is about building a better world, whereas Mad Max is about scraping along to survive. The closest to feeling like Mad Max is New Vegas, where your character is just some guy(or girl) that comes along out of nowhere, chooses which side he agrees eith, and alters their destinies forever before setting back out into the unforgiving desert wasteland again.

Pretty sure he wasn't rationing it just for fun. Sure he needed to control the means of live to retain power, but having most people thirsting and unfit to be recruited as war boys (and thus expand his army) would be self defeating.

"shiny and Chrome" sounds like Egypt were as you need gold to go into heaven but if your poor you'd go to hell lol

[@wolfgang6442]

Well fuck that I guess

[@ClaudeMagicbox]

Ancient Egyptians had the cult of Ra or "the sun god" and Pharaohs were a direct emanation of it. Like most ancient cults there was no conception of "hell" but only of "paradise" which was mostly figured like having access to the "superior world" of the gods who themselves were seen as families with various hierarchies among them, the same for ancient Greek and Roman cults which proposed a number of "greater" and "lesser" gods. It's only roughly 500 years later that a monotheistic cult like Christianity, modelled on older Hebrew beliefs, introduces the concept of "hell" as a systemic part of the supposed "world"...until then mythological punishments by beasts or monsters were actually conceived as punishment but there was no belief of an actual determined place where "bad people" would inevitably end for eternity. This is a Christian concept and it's fear probably is the base of the cult's vast economic success.

When are you guys going to do the Martians from War of the world's?(there's multiple, do them all or choose wisely?)

[@MichaelBirks]

ain't noone got the clearance for the true story of the Templin institute.

[@GrypheonSteele]

My name is Max. My world is fire. And blood. Once, I was a cop; a road warrior searching for a righteous cause. As the world fell, each of us in our own way was broken. It was hard to know who was more crazy. Me... or everyone else. Here they come again. Worming their way into the black matter of my brain. I told myself... they cannot touch me. They are all dead. I am the one who runs from both the living and the dead. Hunted by scavengers. Haunted by those I could not protect. So I exist in this Wasteland. A man reduced to a single instinct: survive. Just listened to the soundtrack to Fury Road...pretty high-octane stuff...Blood Bag has to be my favorite...definitely gets your adrenaline pumping, listening on a good round system with the volume up!

[@Wolfgang_Von_Bostell]

Can you look into the two main factions in the comic book series Rogue trooper? Your level of detail on the Norts and Southers would be great

[@graphkid]

Thank you for this some elements of the movie had me questioning a lot of the lore. And while the game helps it doesn’t answer all

[@0ld_Scratch]

how about the Caesars Legion? Brotherhood of Steel? The Pitt? the NCR? the Institute? House Vegas? the Masters Mutant Army?

[@0ld_Scratch]

or maybe some factions from Metro 2033...

[@Aliexster]

I'll second the Master's Mutant Army.

I kinda wonder about the ending for Fury Road. Sure, Immortan Joe ruled with an iron fist, but something tells me he was also a necessary evil that kept order where it was needed. I mean, I don't know about everyone else, but wasting water like that is gonna dry the reserves pretty quick. Almost like Furiosa is the real villain for dooming literally EVERYONE LEFT.

[@addisonwelsh]

There were some other bits of lore released that explain that they aren’t keeping the water running 24/7. Also, the Citadel eventually became the heart of a thriving society, and the story of Fury Road is actually something of a founding myth to that nation

[@AveryCloseCall]

Great video! Did you pull the lore and prehistory from the comics? I noticed some of it comes from the Mad Max game from WB Games. See you at Wasteland Weekend.

[@bradpotts1747]

releasing the water in the manner they did was the most destructive stupid and tragic decimation to tear away at the future of the wasteland. long live Immortan Joe !!!

[@abrahamstark2944]

I'm waiting a new movie when they tell us some stories from gas town memories or from the bullet farm

[@The12thDimension.]

You don't even see the Bullet farm in the movie ffs

Gas town is in the video game actually. Its controlled by Joe's step son or something from what I remember. It has a Race Track and Thunderdome built inside it

[@alejandrorivas4585]

As am I, I guess we'll have to just wait another... 10 years?

[@lukatopic9103]

I don't know why Immortal Joe is viewed as a bad guy, he rationalised use of water and centralised power in desert...

[@justiceforjoggers2897]

Times like that, only a Tyrant could survive

[@davidcolby167]

Um...he rationed it by pouring 95% of it onto the ground just to be a dick.

[@SpaceBearEngineer]

Hmm...you know "he rationed water and kept some semblance of order" is not really a valid counterpoint to "he's a psychotic, bloodthirsty rapist". He's evil for the same reason any dictator is evil, all dictators keep order for their own ends, but they do so only so they may do horrible things to others. Don't rationalize tyrants just because the world's gone to shit, or you'll soon find the same excuses work in our world as well.

[@NiiRubra]

Immortan Joe was a frail old man with a frail kingdom, who was wasteful with his resources and irrational with his subjects, his rule crumbled as soon as they dragged his sickly dead body and exposed him for the fraud he was. There was no loyalty, only bribery, no respect, only fanaticism. We can only speculate about what happened after the movie ended, but either way, Furiosa would make for a stronger ruler, she commands respect, she doesn't need to hide behind myth, she has accomplished real things.

[@AMPROEngineering]

Well done. Always nice to see a video with such excellent writing.

[@LowTierLurker]

"Yes I finally now know who joe is thank you"

[@guisseppistromboli5825]

This helped me understand the timeline of Mad Max better than any other video that tries

[@adzjobek7969]

Fury Road could definitely have a prequel.

[@bandawin18]

I just wanna know how immortan Joe got to be the way he is, and if he's really toe cutter or not

[@EnclaveSOC-102]

​@@bandawin18 five months late but, there was a tie in comic that takes place after the events of the movie with a former War Boy veteran telling tales of how the Citadel was seized by Joe from the previous owners, the origins of the War Rig, how Nux became a War Boy, and how Furiosa planned to betray Joe and steal his five breeders. It's really interesting cause it also tells how Max got his Interceptor back after "Beyond Thunderdome" and who that little girl was that he had seen in his hallucinations seen throughout "Fury Road" and why they were happening.

[@bandawin18]

@@EnclaveSOC-102 so was he really just played by the same actor but is a different character? Cuz I like thinking that the reason Joe is more machine than man and held together like Frankenstein's monster cuz of his accident. Still cool regardless though
