Fury Road is supposed to be the same Max as the other movies, unless I misunderstand you.

  The same, but not necessarily from the same timeline. It may not even be the same guy, but the same story. Or maybe not the same at all. Here's the best summary of ideas I've found: > Tom Hardy also spoke on this issue by saying, "We have to take it differently as George is taking it. It's a relaunch and revisit to the world. An entire restructuring. That's not to say that it's not picking up or leaving off from the Mad Max you know already, but it's a nice re-take on the entire world using the same character, depositing him in the same world but bringing him up to date by 30 years." On the other hand, Charlize Theron also said that Hardy wasn't playing Mel Gibson's character. They just happen to be both named Max Rockatanski. In fact, Miller stated with the 30 year gap since the last film and a new actor playing the lead, it was just easier to do a new version of the film without maintaining any continuity. The easiest way Miller puts it is to think of each film as a "legend of the Road Warrior" meaning that each film is a story about Mad Max that happened, but perhaps told by different people and so some things are altered from each story. http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1392190/faq http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1392190/faq

    > each film is a story about Mad Max that happened That is what i think of it. I think it is also important to notice that Max is barely aprotagonist of the movie. He is more like a walking plot device. He help the drama start and move along while not being the real focus of it. Max is more of an entity than a character.
