If you're referring to the as yet unmade Mad Max: The Wasteland movie, I believe it takes place in the year before Fury Road.
Furiosa (May 24, 2024)
- Thread starter Prime Clone
- Start date
Help Support Collector Freaks Forum:
No, I was wondering about the timeline -- how Furiosa's timeline fits in with Max.

As mentioned a coupla pages back, the modern Max movies are like a soft reboot. Miller confirms they're part of the same timeline as the OT but he's taken liberties. And FR does happen after BT.
As for my take on Furiosa, I know my taste is questionable (being a fan of the PT, Snyderverse, Webbverse, STID, Matrix Reloaded etc.) but... I liked it a lot. It's more story and character-driven than FR (though I probably still give FR the edge for its Max factor, and more epic-scale action sequences).
It also expands the lore and world-building of the Wasteland.
And yes, there's more of a RW vibe (there's even asphalt at one point!) with maybe a dash of BT.
I was on the lookout for CGI but didn't see anything obvious enough to take me out of the film.
It dovetails seamlessly into FR, and if The Wasteland ever gets made
I can see it intersecting nicely with Furiosa.The exact MM timeline is still elusive but I'm nutting it out.
A small point, I was actually hoping Imperator Furiosa was a name given to her by Immortan Joe (a la Darth Vader). But nope, she was always Furiosa.

So if Furiosa is say "10-15 years" before Fury Road, then its possible that the Furiosa movie takes place before Thunderdome?

A key to nutting it out will be how long Furiosa is Imperator for - it's not really clear in the film, but there may be references elsewhere.

Turns out the 15 years is the time between her leaving the Green Place and becoming Imperator. So we need to know how much longer she's at the Citadel before FR (possibly only a couple more years - or even six months). It may be referenced at the end of the movie, but if it was I missed it.
But yes, her younger years are likely pre-BT.

Also top marks to Hemsy, between the nose, beard and voice he's totally unrecognisable (aside from the annoyingly buff torso!)

This approximate timeline was posted on Reddit by someone whose maths is probably better than mine:
2015: Oil Wars
2016: Water Wars
2019: Mad Max
2020: Nukes
2027: The Road Warrior
2043: Beyond Thunderdome
2047: Furiosa
2063: Fury Road
(It should be noted Furiosa takes place *across* the 15-ish years before FR)
Assuming Max is mid-20s in MM1, that would make him 70-ish in FR. So that's a bit too far of a stretch for me.

Mad Max 1 takes place 1984-85 graffiti on sign proves this.
Road Warrior takes place 3 years after so 1987-88.
Beyond Thunderdome takes place 14 years after Road Warrior so 2001-2002.
Fury Road…oh boy here we go.
His tattoo says 33 years (12,045 days) after the fall of society which was Road Warrior 1987 so Fury Road is 2020-2021.
How old is Mad Max in Fury Road, his 40’s right.
That freaking tattoo proves that he’s not Max he has to be the Feral Kid because that puts him as a kid in the mid to late 80’s!
Plus his hallucinations are about a daughter yet he had a son in Mad Max.
Plus he grabbed a boomerang in Fury Road lol

Wait wut the graffiti on the road sign in Mad Max says 1984 and the movie came out in 79 and the narrative text even said “a few years from now”.
Is Prime Clone's timeline the adjusted George Miller timeline?

Comic books are worst than cartoons.

At this point I think we have to disregard any date references from the OT.
I know da funnybooks aren't popular but they were written by Miller so provide further clues.

That's Glory, who Max tried (and failed) to save along with her mother. She appears in the MM video game and, yes, one of the FR prequel comics.
