Max surviving a nuclear blast means exactly what he said. Nukes (Great War) fell 23rd oct 2077, show starts 219yrs later (late 2296), nuke that Max survived fell about 14 to 15 yrs before the show start (regarding charater age: not older than 25, compared to his age in the flashback)..
The thing with Lucy, Maximus, and the bombs is that they’re accidentally talking about two different events. Lucy is talking about the bombs dropping in 2077, which ended the resource wars with communist China. Maximus is talking about the fall of Shady Sands, the original capital of the New California Republic (which is a pretty sizeable nation state that had five regional ‘states’ within it. Hundreds of thousands of people, and reach extending as far east as the Mojave Wasteland in Nevada. Even with Shady Sands destroyed, the NCR is probably still at least partially functional). Max wasn’t wrong when he said the bombs dropped when he was a kid, he was just talking about different bombs.
After watching episode 6, I realize that Max was talking about the Shady Sands one but I thought Lucy was talking about that one too. Thanks for clearing that up for me.
This was a good episode!!
