Mad Max Fury Road. They defeat the tyrant, and get the control of the water valves. Then they open the valves and seemingly keep them open. One problem, how long is the water reservoir gonna last now?

    Max is not just one guy. He is an amalgamation of road warriors remembered in legends by the post-apocalyptic societies they helped

      That’s one way to interpret it, but I don’t think the movies ever actually tell us that. The game certainly suggests something else entirely.

        I love how the video game does it. It makes more sense Max is a doomed soul forever wandering the wasteland never able to rest. And how all the time has passed but he still remembers earth before

      I feel like that’s the official answer that they came up with to explain the differences in the settings between the films. It works, but only because there was a problem for it to fix.
