Mad Max: Fury Road ends with a strange quotation, prompting some franchise fans to wonder where the line came from and how information technology relates to the preceding motion-picture show. The Mad Max franchise has never been big on explaining its complicated give-and-take building. However, 2015's belated sequel Mad Max: Fury Road featured more than unexplained lore than the series ever attempted before.

For example, viewers who hadn't read the Mad Max: Fury Road necktie-in comics would have no idea who the picayune girl that Max hallucinates is or how she relates to the movie'southward story. Similarly, a quotation briefly glimpsed at the finish of Mad Max: Fury Road is closely tied to both the story and themes of the picture show, merely is never actually explained onscreen. The quote shows up but before the film's stop credits, merely fans who want to sympathize its significance will demand to look further than the movie itself.

The quotation in question reads "where must nosotros go… Nosotros who wander this wasteland in search of our meliorate selves?" The line appears at the end of Fury Route and is attributed to the "Starting time History Man." That figure is i of Mad Max'south History Men, a group of in-universe historians who rail the history of Max's postal service-apocalyptic wasteland home via elaborate tattoos. The quote itself applies both to Furiosa, as it asks where she'll go from hither—will she be a benevolent leader or a despot?—and Max, who chooses confronting settling down at the finish of the Mad Max sequel and instead forges on in search of himself, just as he has at the end of every chance and then far.

The question of where Max volition get is one likely to grade the basis of the next moving picture in the series, although it may exist a while before viewers see Tom Hardy's side by side Mad Max movie. The adjacent sequel has already been titled The Wasteland, though, which is in keeping with the closing quote'southward question virtually where Max will eventually find his amend nature, if anywhere, in his eternal wanderings. However, the question is also a vital one for Furiosa and once more reaffirms that the Mad Max franchise doesn't take an entirely positive perspective on the anti-heroine.

Before Mad Max: Fury Road's action begins, Furiosa is firmly in service of the disciplinarian fascist Immortan Joe, proving that she is non above being manipulated and misled. She later rebels against Joe, frees his captives, and eventually even kills him, but even this is not evidence that Fury Road'due south heroine will be a morally upright effigy forever.Beyond Thunderdome'due south surprise villain Aunt Entity foreshadowed the possibility that Furiosa could become as evil as her predecessor, a theme that the Mad Max movies repeatedly render to and ane which is encapsulated in the open-concluded quotation that closes Fury Route 's activeness.
