Yeah no doubt Khev.
I'm fine with a change in tone as long as it's done well (which I believe was the case with DOD but obviously opinions vary.) If SW never dared to switch gears we would have never gotten ESB. Same with the difference between say Rocky IV and Creed II. Mostly the same characters and conflicts but with each having a different feel that you can revisit and enjoy depending on your mood. Nothing wrong with wanting Indy to always be light escapism of course but for me at least I think it's fun to have different options as long as the execution is solid for each.
Can you imagine the meltdown that bunch would have if they heard some of Ellie's lines in JP for the first time today. Good lord. Instead of just having a laugh at some throwaway lines and enjoying a terrific movie.
Just like those annoying people complaining that TOD is insensitive for showing the south asian indian culture eating those animals.
Thanks for the concern. I just don't think a 80 y/o time traveling Indy in a grumpy Mangold film would have ever worked. We do have Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade for a great ending to the character. They should've rebooted the franchise with Chris Pratt and a spin off series with Short Round years ago. Hell, I'd even be down, if they did that now!
Great list of good stuff!Thanks for the concern. I just don't think a 80 y/o time traveling Indy in a grumpy Mangold film would have ever worked.

From Star Wars, Star Trek, Marvel, DC, Predator, Alien, and now Indiana jones, my interest has been killed by what has beendonein those franchises far more than what any youtuber has said. The Youtubers you're bringing up have even praised Star Trek Picard season 3, and I still don't have interest in watching any of it. I have also been watching a lot less of the same youtube channels and have even unsubed from a couple.
But There's still great stuff that's been coming out recently that I've been enjoying: Mission Impossible, Top Gun, John Wick, Jack Reacher, the Terminal list, Stranger Things season 4, Extraction 2, The Night Agent, and Jack Ryan to name a few. I've also been able to watch, read and listen to things I always wanted to and now absolutely love (highly recommend the Americans, the Northman, and Daredevil: Born Again btw). So I'm happy with my entertainment.
The aliens no doubt came back and wiped their memories....after (of course) probing them.
Dude I loved seeing Sallah on his most dangerous adventure yet, driving to JFK airport!I love that Mangold avoided one of the gravest sins of the ST by
giving us this reunion of all three together in a single scene to close out the entire franchise.

And Sallah's farewell to IndyDude I loved seeing Sallah on his most dangerous adventure yet, driving to JFK airport!

Holy crap lol
It was surreal seeing them both together in such an environment and made me feel old realizing that the years between that moment and Indy's first adventure (for him) were about the same as the time since I first watched his first adventure.Dude I loved seeing Sallah on his most dangerous adventure yet, driving to JFK airport!
Mangold neither mentioned Mutt by name nor showed a picture of him in order to allow people to strike KOTCS entirely from their personal head canon and just pretend that Indy's son was someone else. My own son still hasn't watched KOTCS and he didn't feel like he has missed out on any part of the story.
