Mad Max is a franchise I'd love to see them do as a streaming series, which would allow for so much more world building. The massive jump in the state of the world between the first and second films always suffered for lack of a clearer explanation imo.

Absolutely freaking not! Series are the reason the movies have became what they are right now, once they realized that people will stare at anything as long as it's moving.

There is no jump between the first and the second film. The world in the Mad Max is nearly the same as in the Road Warrior, that's the beauty of it. Everything in the first movie had already fallen apart, just that it takes place in the civilization. The way they've

The Road Warrior takes places later & obviously, things are even worse but the most important difference is that the story takes place in the called wasteland which is supposed to be far, far away from the city and had degraded much, much faster.

The way Miller made the world look in the first movie is exactly how it would (will) have happen. Quietly, insidiously and slowly.

I just found the disconnect between the aesthetics rather extreme. To my eye the first film has worn much better over time, whereas the second one looks dated - the third very badly so. To be fair, of course, that's in large part because it was so instrumental in defining the post-apocalyptic look of that period of cinema.
