What's your personal headcanon for your favourite TV series, movies etc?

Another idea I heard, and for some reason I'm thinking this might have come from someone involved in the movies, is that there is no real Max and the movies are just stories people tell about a mythological figure called "Max". Which could explain some continuity issues like Bruce Spence playing almost identical characters in 2 and Beyond Thunderbome, but Max and his characters meeting for the first time in both movies. It could also explain the drastically different states of society in the different movies.

I think this may be canonical. In the one hand, supposedly this is the general consensus; on the other, I think the supposedly-canonical comics established them all as being in the same continuity. I dunno.

This is a weird one.

Love Actually takes place in the same universe as and is a sorta-sequel to Dave.

Laura Linney, who played the President's assistant in Dave, moves to London and changes careers after the death of President Bill Mitchell.

(I don't actually like Love Actually. It makes it slightly more interesting to me to attach it to an unrelated film that I love.)

I heard the idea a while back that the Max we meet in Fury Road is actually an adult version of The Feral Kid from the second movie. This would explain one thing with Furiosa that doesn't really make sense if all of the movies follow the same Max. Her and Max appear to be about the same age, and if we use the actors then there's only a 2 year difference between them, but in Furiosa we see her as kid in the post apocalyptic Green Place, and in the original movie Max was well into adulthood and the apocalypse appeared to have only recently happened.

I find it hard to picture Tom Hardy’s Max as being the same guy Mel Gibson played, so this works for me

Olivia Williams' Moira MacTaggert (from X-Men: The Last Stand) is the daughter of Rose Byrne's Moira MacTaggert (from X-Men: First Class).

There's nothing to contradict the idea, and it makes for some fun narrative irony/poetic storytelling if Charles, in his older age, lets the daughter of the woman whose mind he wiped keep the secrets that he wouldn't let her mother keep.

Yoda’s species — which is quite rare, as well as long-lived — has no name for themselves; they’re people, and so are everybody else. They’ve even objected (successfully!) to the rare instances when outsiders tried to give them a name. The only difference it might make would be for procreation, and why would you distinguish on the basis of something you do maybe once every two or three centuries anyway?
