Furiosa’s Timeline Is A Huge Missed Opportunity For The Mad Max Franchise

While Furiosa: A Mad Max Saga may answer a lot of lingering mysteries left behind by the Mad Max movies, the spinoff’s trailer confirms that the prequel won’t answer one huge question. The Mad Max franchise is full of unsolved enigmas. The timeline of the series is intentionally vague, making it tough for viewers to discern what order the movies take place in. Not only that, but the vaguely mythical status of Max himself has led viewers to question whether Mel Gibson and Tom Hardy’s version of the character are intended to be the same person in-universe. One theory posits that Max could be a title passed down among generations.
