History YMMV / MadMax2015

* Another relic is a picture of two kids in front of a lake. On the back is written: "Beauty is life. Beauty is family. Beauty is eternal. As long as there is life on this planet, beauty will follow. I can't imagine it any other way. Feeling good! -Abby." After reading it, Max wonders "Did it die too? Beauty?"

** Both this game's version of Glory the Child's mother (SilkHidingSteel [[TheWoobie Woobie]] Hope) or the determined low-key ActionMom from the ''Fury Road'' tie-in comics are decently popular, but there isn't a consensus on which is more popular.

* BrokenBase: The lack of references to ''Fury Road'' has been a point of contention among some game reviewers, namely Kotaku and Ars Technica, who both knocked points off for not taking more from that film. However, some have countered that this game has been in development for ''years'', and that it's not fair to take points off for a relatively petty gripe.

* ValuesDissonance: In one of Chumbucket's many raving prayers, he praises the "tranny on all high." Granted, he's referring to "transmission", but the word has become increasingly taboo in recent years as a transphobic slur.

* EightPointEight: The game has gotten fairly middling reviews, and fans of the game are ''not'' happy about it, to say the least. Tycho from ''Webcomic/PennyArcade'' even [[http://www.penny-arcade.com/news/post/2015/09/04/biblicality accused Polygon]] of deliberately causing controversy for clicks.

* CriticalDissonance: This has happened since the game came out. While critics have been harsh but fair on the game, most user reviews have been near universally positive. This can be attributed to the fact that the game follows a fairly standard, Ubisoft style open-world template of unlocking fast travel towers and personal upgrades, which some critics have gotten sick of. Fans tend to gravitate towards the presentation and story instead, which are often considered the highlight of the game.

* WhatAnIdiot: Max deciding not to use the Thunderpoon while [[spoiler: Scrotus' vehicle dangles from a cliff]], which would either made it explode or cause it to fall off the edge, but instead ramming it with the Magnus Opus [[spoiler: destroying it and killing Chumbucket]] in the process. [[spoiler: And the fact Scrotus still makes it out, making the ramming idea all the more pointless. Max has clearly gone off the deep end at this point, while Chumbucket shares the blame in not suggesting anything other than "Don't wreck my car."]]

* JerkAssWoobie: Max is pretty much this trope's mascot. He used to be a cop trying to maintain order in a world coming apart at the seams, only to have both his wife and daughter killed, his leg crippled, and was then left alone to wander a wasteland, forced to eat dog food and maggots in order to survive. [[spoiler: He's even worse off by the end of the game, having been left alone with nothing but the voices in his head.]] Max is so far gone, that not only does he not know how old he is, he's completely unaware what year it is. Despite being a single-minded jerk, by the end of the game you just want to give him a hug.
