Which may explain why we get the concept of the "First History Man" here as GM's way out of a studio mandate. Truth be told, the franchise has ALWAYS felt like tales handed down, mostly because 2 and 3 followed Joseph Campbell to a T.

I really liked that aspect and kinda wish all Mad Max movies had been framed that way. That would certainly explain why Max is a very different man in Fury Road. (Hardy played him as traumatized loner, while Gibson always managed to give him a wry sense of nihilist humour.)
