Why Furiosa doesn't star Mad Max himself.
Summary SCREENRANT VIDEO OF THE DAY SCROLL TO CONTINUE WITH CONTENT Although Furiosa: A Mad Max Saga mentions the iconic sci-fi hero in its title, there is a reason that the Mad Max spinoff centers on its eponymous heroine and not Max himself. Max Rockatansky has been central to the Mad Max series since it began. 1979’s original Mad Max centered on his dark origin story, whereas The Road Warrior focused on his post-apocalyptic adventures.
Furiosa: A Mad Max Saga needed a new star for the series thanks to the over-familiarity of Max’s story. This lived-in feeling makes Furiosa: A Mad Max Saga’s decision to focus on its titular heroine perfectly logical. Bringing back Furiosa allows the franchise to further develop her character, but it also lets viewers discover how Immortan Joe came to power despite how odious he was in Fury Road. Since Furiosa is younger than Max, her childhood in a post-apocalyptic wasteland gives her a very different view of the franchise’s world.
Max’s status as a rootless drifter makes him an almost mythic figure in the world of the franchise, but it also conveniently justifies his presence in the stories of other characters. Since Max crops up in Fury Road at the conclusion of Furiosa’s character arc, it is fair for him to put in a cameo earlier in her story.
