Creating an entire show around Max would be kind of awkward and could possibly take things beyond the point of being amusing and push them right into annoying since Max’s computer-generated stutter is endearing to a lot of people since it was a part of what made him famous, but it’s also important to realize that a movie or even a series with this character could go a long way toward ruining him altogether. But with the current technology, this is very possible since the CGI could be utilized in a very useful manner to bring back a character that was a lot of fun at one point and could be again if pushed in an acceptable manner. It’s possible that Matt Frewer might be able to take up the role again, but likely only as a voice role since the actor has aged quite a bit since the 80s and a wrinkled Max Headroom would definitely be kind of awkward considering that he’s a computer simulation. The thing about Max though is that eventually his act did run a bit dry and he was left behind as a relic, a throwback from the 80s that was still fairly popular in the 90s, but didn’t really make it into the 2000s in a big way since technology had taken over and things were moving ahead at a pretty good clip.īringing him back might be kind of interesting, but only if it really happened in the same capacity as he enjoyed before. Max was just one more symbol for the 80s and for pop culture since a lot of people took to liking him without question since he was amusing and kind of out there with his act. But he did it all the same and he helped to create a character that was from a dystopian future where TV had taken over pretty much everything. Back in 1985 when he came out the technology wasn’t nearly where it needed to be for this effect and Frewer had to be put through an arduous 4-hour makeup process and described the effect as being inside a giant tennis ball since it was stifling and it was largely uncomfortable.
Be honest now, how many people even remember Max Headroom? For those of us that do, he’s a hard one to forget since thanks to Matt Frewer and the makeup department he’s a pretty easy personality to remember given his over the top act and the fact that he did have the look of being a computer-generated program.
