It definitely is supposed to be the same Max (or it was — I’ve not seen Furiosa yet, so I don’t know if that supersedes any of this).

It’s a franchise with its fair share of stupidity, but Wingard’s two entries are an order of magnitude more stupid than the rest. I think it’s safe to assume that much of the fault lies with him.

After seeing Godzilla vs Kong, I was sure that was as dumb as it could possibly get. After seeing Godzilla × Kong (a movie which, despite giving him top billing in the title, cannot find a reason for Godzilla to be in it), I learned how wrong I was.

This is the thing you said that prompted my response:

It sounds like he was originally supposed to direct the pilot but backed away to focus on his movies.

it is a work of fiction, and the author can make whatever history or rules that he wants

They created entire fighting styles explicitly to counter them
