having only watched fury road and furiosa this still checks out
the way the history man talks about a key moment in furiosa’s arc is the way legends are told
the fact that max is one miserable guy out of so many who lends a hand to others in need and recedes into the crowd at the end of fury road
the way furiosa survives as her mother instructed and adapted to her circumstances time and again
and saved not only herself but most of the wives and the citadel
definitely folk tales meant to inspire the downtrodden within its universe
anyone could be max
