And so we arrive at our ultimate checkpoint: we have transformed what was a fairly simple Ozploitation flick from those drier days of yore into a fully realized Greater Mad Max Saga Universe. The crossover opportunities are ripe, the generative-AI tools are on hand, and we will never have to imagine a world without a Gas Town again. Or Bullet Town. Or Cabbage Town. There must be a Silver Spray Paint Town yet to be depicted, no?
It would require an advanced degree in macroeconomics to fully comprehend the complex business cycles of The Wasteland, but the booms and busts appear to revolve around whether a large tanker of items can make deliveries from one town to another. For example, one tanker of gas might be worth two tankers of cabbage, and one tanker of bullets might be worth two tankers of gas. It is altogether unclear, however, how much a tanker of potatoes might fetch with respect to a tanker of cabbage.
Stuff blows up real good, and road war is waged. Dr. Dementus, who has a Dark Mode, has an endless supply of motorbikers willing to ride hard and fast for a better life, a life with greater supplies of gas and bullets-perhaps also greater demands-for the Law of Diminishing Returns applies to cabbages as well as bullets.
If gas were in such short supply, one would think its consumers would be more parsimonious with its consumption.
