YOLO, so don’t go solo: See why lone rangers have it worse on screen

Mad Max.It’s pretty easy to imagine Mel Gibson or Tom Hardy (who’ve both played Max Rockatansky) as lone rangers in a post-apocalyptic world. They’re not the type to take orders. Surely a sidekick would have helped with the loneliness and nightmares? They’d have to watch their backs less. Max did have a best friend, wife, and son, all of whom were butchered. He’s befriended a doggo. But that’s hardly useful when battling War Boys.
