Will Max have a blue kangaroo in the next one?
:p

It’s interesting because Miller is making a valid comment on how it’s human nature to mythologize people and events. For instance, if I understand Mr. Miller correctly, each of the MM films is a particular tall tale dealing with an individual (who may or may not be real) who comes to the aid of those who most need help. That person may be named ‘Max Rockatansky’ or indeed, it could’ve been someone entirely different but was misremembered as this mythical “Max”. Especially in the post-apocalyptic world Miller’s films envision, the survivors would most likely have to rely on oral transmission of knowledge for quite some time, and of course, that nicely lends itself to mythologizing.
