Early, as the film Mad Max: Fury Road was coming out, I heard a rumor that the feral kid from Road Warrior was going to be featured. As I watched Fury Road I was taken by Max. I had felt like I had seen the mannerisms of his persona before. I am convinced that the Feral Kid is “Max” in Fury Road.

Max is a man of very few words, but Mel Gibson spoke more than the new Max. The new Max communicated more with grunts, and growls; he had words, but preferred grunting. It was as if he was still learning to talk. The new Max also seems to prefer violence in all situations, whereas Mel Gibson's Max knew when he was
