They're actually two items: an old, dusty and black umbrella (partially wasted) and a "Waiting One-style" large spear. You could see for yourself in the well-famed LES TURNER's GEORGE MILLER fansite, specifically in the gallery section. Well, in the middle of the Wasteland you might need an umbrella, just to cover your poor head from constant and cruel sunlight. As far as concerning the spear, I realized Max really felt as one of the Waiting One by that moment, a kind of desert "Tracker" (as Savannah and the others mentioned somehow). The spear just symbolized his enjoyment and fitness to the role. Now Max is really a sort of "Capt. Walker" for the whole (remaining) human race. He's "Him That Came To The Salvage". How this will lead to FURY ROAD, I really don't know... it'll be not an easy ride, but who does care? I pray they 'd just begin to film as soon as they can. Hope it helps

The end of MM3 is purposely ambiguous. Our conciousness allows us to plug in all sorts of plausible realities. This is the magic of cinema. It's a sort of visionary crossroads. I'm almost scared by it. Glad to see Max has been not scared at all by such endless loneliness. That's why he's the toughest one ever been.

Personally, I felt a danger aura surrounding him at the very beginning of Thunderdome, when he was on the top of the cliff, watching Bartertown below for the very first time. I guess everyone enough near to him just "feel" it. He's a bad-ass at 100%.

In THE ROAD WARRIOR he was just a road scavenger, a Marauder, but sure as hell he was already a bounty hunter at the very beginning of Thunderdome! --- good observation, Wrangler! From the RW Era to the Thunderdome Era, civilzation (a twisted version of it, even) raised from the ashes again... and Max was forced to pay attention to human race again, dealing with other survivors. He could trade... skills, after all. His own skills. So he suddenly became a warrior (and no longer a Road Warrior, which is a very different thing, you know). That's why he turned to be a bounty hunter, technically. Cheers, man. You matched it.

"The great thing about the trilogy is that you know there'll still be something even before the end credits start rolling. I mean, the very last shot of Max (before the words "For Byron"--R.I.P. and thanks Mr. Kennedy) simply leads you into thinking of the following scenes for yourself (without even knowing there's gonna be "Fury Road"). Max was holding something in his last shot--and that's the start. After that he'll find something else. And then he'll find something else. The wastelands is a wondrous place full of something else's. And in the ashes...the MFP's main wild card will rise again... " Wrangler, That's really incredible! So touching... I never paid so much attention to the symbolism of what Max was actually carrying on in the last shot... on his own, tired, broken shoulders. I know it's an old umbrella and a "Waiting One-style" big spear... read the relative topic. I think this junk really represents the idea of Max as FAR MORE than a mere scavenger, because he's NOW a "SALVAGER", a man ready to rise from the ashes in need to re-build his own life! It's incredible. Your views on the whole saga are so similar to mine

Max walking towards sunset, out into the Wasteland, alone, like the last man on the face of Earth. Towards his fate. Wandering alone, forever. Sad, cool, proud, desolate, strong, tired, funnily tragic, poetic... what did it inspire to you? I think all of those appellatives can be easily applied to that awesome, gorgeous scene, all of those feelings... I watched and re-watched the sequence, and EVERYTIME it suggested me ONE of those different vibes. The greatest scene in the trilogy. Period.

No one said it would have been an easy ride. It will take one year and half, but this place will be filled with Mad Maxians. Granted.
