So you dont remember the oil panic, panic buying of fuel and proposals for carless days? Then there was the school drills for nuclear fallout, massive spike in plane hijacks, drive-by-shootings in compton and the war on drugs, not to mention the 80s fiscal crisisThe threat was there, but day to day living wasn't dystopian already, it was just this thing in the back of your mind, but didn't really effect day to day life much.
Compared that to the 2020s it's no contest which is more Dystopian, back in the 80s folks were still mostly optimistic, it's why so many folks are nostogic for it and the 1990s, even young folks who didn't live through them like Gen Y and Zed.
Compared to now a vague sense of possible, but unlikely nuclear war that largely didn't intrude on day to day life would be a relief compared to the day to day nightmares young people face today. Time in the 1980s would be a vacation for most young people.
yesIs this a prequel to Fury Road?

Yes, its the back story of how the young Furiosa (chalize Therons character in Fury Road) became the Imperator serving Immortan JoeIs this a prequel to Fury Road?
Everyone is entitled to their opinions.Better then Thunder Dome? No way.
Tina Turner was awesome.
Wasn’t some / all of that covered in a comic series?Yes, its the back story of how the young Furiosa (chalize Therons character in Fury Road) became the Imperator serving Immortan Joe
The crazy thing about the first Mad Max is...it wasn't written or filmed as a post-apocalypse, just a low budget cop movie with a quirky design aesthetic. The post-apocalypse angle is an idea Miller took from the critical reaction after the film was screened.
But it's set in Australia.They also iirc had to dub OVER mel's voice due to his aussie accent at the time
