Dude, what? Have you ever watched Mad Max? Do you even know what it is about? lol
It has nothing to do with climate change, has no pro car message and is not even from Hollywood.
This is just ignorant.

Its been a while but I have watched all but the latest one. It definitely has something to do with climate change. The first film he was still a cop and now he wanders a desert because of ecocide and societal collapse. What do you think happened between the first and second films to cause a wasteland?

It definitely has a pro car message because he spends most of the films trying to fuel his car.

Isn't it true that the apocalypse in Mad Max was caused by nuclear war?

[-] BirdyBoogleBop@lemmy.dbzer0.com 0 points 1 year ago

I think that happened after Mad Max 2. Which made everything worse rather than causing the problems.

From what I remember it's reasource scarcity leading to societal collapse, I definitely remember fuel being very expensive. I suppose that doesn't have to be directly climate related but you can make comparisons easily between the two.

The car messaging is obvious though. You can't have a load of cool heavily modded cars without it being pro car.
