Furiosa: A Mad Max Saga

I don't think Fury Road takes place in the same timeline as the earlier films. I used to, but I don't anymore.
All of this recent activity on this thread has made me go back and rewatch some YouTube reaction videos regarding Furiosa and Fury Road to see if any of the viewers might see something or comment on something that I hadn't picked up on.
There was one comment on one of the videos that I hadn't thought of.
When Furiosa says that they were going to The Green Place, Max's reaction isn't one of, "The Green Place, what is that?" It's kind of a non reaction. The reason he's not more curious to know about the Green Place and its location is because he's been there. He's been wandering the Wasteland outside the Citadel for years and he knows that the Green Place doesn't exist any more and that it's a poisoned swamp. The reason he doesn't say anything is because he doesn't want to crush Furiosa and maybe make her give up on her escape attempt. He knows that she needs to have hope to keep going on and maybe find a safe refuge.

The Black & Chrome version was recently on sale, so I finally bit and will watch soon. It's annoying to double-dip, but at least I didn't do it at full price.
I'm a sucker for that particular gimmick, between the Fury Road version and Godzilla Minus One Minus Color.

I mean, no one near Bartertown knew about the Kids and their secret Oasis, so by example it's possible the Green Place could go a long time without being noticed
But Jebediah certainly knows him judging from his reaction when spotting Max in Bartertown. He looks directly at him and grins IIRC. I took all three of the Gibson films to be a few years and then decades from now in this time as told by Feral Kid and other witnesses while the Fury series is a reimagining of the tale but not here like the first 3 were. The CGI keeps reminding me this is a SF movie.
Yeah, because he stole all his shit at the start of the movie. Just as at the end of the film Max sees Jedidiah and says, "You!"
Did anyone catch the Easter Egg of the Gyro Captain's skull, helmet and goggles on the hood of Nux's car and wondered how it got there?
Me neither. I'll have to look for that the next time I watch it.
It's not the same design of aviator's hat that Gyro wore.
