Max actually ends up having one of the more emotional storylines in the movie. While he isn't on screen as much as Red or Chloe, nearly every scene he's in pushes the plot forward. His Introduction Max is introduced as Maddox Hatter's son, but unlike his father, he immediately comes across as kind and approachable. Red already knows him from the original timeline, mentioning that before everything changed he dressed more neatly with button-down shirts and bow ties. This hints that Max's life was very different before Red and Chloe altered history. Joining the Heroes When Maddox begins kidnapping people and searching for the Pocket Watch, Max decides to help Red, Chloe, Pink, and Luis stop him. He's torn because he's trying to save Wonderland while also hoping his father can still be redeemed. Throughout the adventure he's often the voice reminding everyone that Maddox wasn't always evil. Confrontation with Maddox One of his biggest scenes happens when Max goes to Maddox's workshop alone, hoping he can convince his father to surrender peacefully. Instead, Chessy Cheshire appears and shows Max the Oraculum, revealing the original timeline where Maddox was a loving father and their family was happy before Red and Chloe changed history. This completely changes Max's perspective. For the first time, he realizes his father wasn't simply "crazy." Their lives really were stolen by the timeline change. Briefly Turning Against the Heroes After learning the truth, Max becomes angry with Red and Chloe. Believing they owe his family a chance to restore the original timeline, he helps Maddox's plan by creating a magical bracelet that corrupts Chloe, turning her against Red for part of the climax. It's one of the darker moments in the movie because Max isn't acting out of greed or revenge. He's acting out of grief. The Ending When Red finally reaches Chloe and convinces her to reject the bracelet's influence, Max realizes that changing time again would only hurt even more people. Although it's painful, he agrees not to use the Pocket Watch and watches as it is thrown away, accepting that he can't get his old life back. Maddox is captured, but Red and Chloe promise they'll help him recover instead of abandoning him. Why Fans Like Him A lot of fans have called Max the standout new character because he's morally complicated. He's never truly evil. He's a good kid forced to choose between doing what's right and saving the father he remembers. Many viewers felt his scene with Chessy and the Oraculum was the emotional highlight of the movie, even wishing he'd had more screen time.
