re: #358 Feline Fearless Leader

Really clear in the _The Road Warrior_ since it’s clear at the end from the narration that it is being told by the feral child. The third one implies as well that it’s a flashback telling as well from the survivors in the city.

You’re right that it’s a real interesting way to describe what the series is.

I was just thinking about that; I recalled the codas at the end of Road Warrior and Beyond Thunderdome - the implication being that the events in the films themselves were flashbacks told many, many years later. That being the case, of course, memories become distorted over time, so each film concludes with an unreliable narrator.

For all anyone knows, when Max drives out into the Outback at the end of Mad Max, he could’ve just died out there. Or maybe that’s just the story ‘“Max” told to someone else, and who knows if it’s entirely accurate?

Interesting. And yeah…….mind blown.
