Shia Lebouf swinging with cgi monkeys isn't the series lowpoint anymore. Truly, an amazing accomplishment.

Harrison Ford really doesn't care if he is willing to let two of his characters get assasinated by Kathleen Kennedy

It would’ve been a better story if Indy was looking for the dial in order to save his son (Mutt) from dying in the Vietnam War. At the end, Indy could have found that Mutt survived, and after fighting his way out from the past, he could have had all of his friends from the other movies help him rescue Mutt. Giving Indy one last hurrah and giving his supporting cast one last reason to be shown together on screen. It’s generic, but would have been a much better send off.

At least Kingdom of the Crystal Skulls feels like it could've been an ending with Indy's dignity still intact. He wasn't too old, he isn't treated like an idiot, and him and Marion even get married

Lucas wanted Temple of Doom dark because he was miserable going through a divorce, Spielberg added the comical bits.

Last Crusade showed that they could tell a good story with an older character (namely Henry Jones Sr), without having to do the whole "he's initially a grizzled old failure who hates his life" routine.

I said it elsewhere, but I'm 100% sure the watch-wearing skeleton in Archimedes' tomb was supposed to be Indiana, shot dead and left in the past, before reshoots.

My favorite bit of hypocrisy happens throughout the film...
Where Indiana Jane insults Jones repeatedly as being a grave robber...even though she is doing the exact same thing, except that what Jones finds goes to museums ...and what she finds she just hocks it on the black market for profit...so dumb.

Mary Sue dragging Indiana Jones' corpse around for 2 hours

Everyone should just forget this movie and play Lego Indiana Jones. Man that game is amazing and fun.

Swear Disney just hired all writers off fanfic websites.  
"Oh, you wrote two 200 page stories where your totally original oc saves the day with her god powers?  HIRED!"

Having just recently watched Jason and the argonauts for the first time, it really made me realize just how fun practical effects are. They may not be very realistic but man are they fun to see. The skeleton fight scene in particular is incredible even to this day.

Tbh I actually noticed a lot more self aware humor than expected, especially when concerning Pheobe Waller Bridges character of how "beautiful" and "self sufficent" she is compared to old ass Indy. Disney literally knows that they're turning Indy into an absolute joke and they think its hilarious to see a beloved hero turned into a loser in his own film.

I HATE that indiana Jones HAD to be miserable in his old age. Not all old people end up that way. Some old people Don't lose basic cognitive abilities and can still do things. Some old people are surrounded by loved ones that care about them in old age.

I remember Harrison Ford getting all teary eyed and saying how much he cares about the franchise...

I guarantee the ending WAS going to be Indy going back in time and dying in Greece while Flea-Bag retconned the whole franchise.

It's bad enough that they won't give Indy a proper retirement, but to also have a Mary Sue try and take over the series is just embarrassing.

As another reviewer pointed out the reason Indy sounds off at the beginning of the movie with his de-aged self, his voice sounds older than he looks (they didn't bother to de-age his voice), as you get older your voice changes (shocker I know), which creates the disconnect that you're feeling

The thing is, deconstructions are not inherently bad, bringing back a classic hero as an older person isn’t inherently bad, even a tragic end to a well known character wouldn’t be inherently bad. The problem is they are doing it in the worst possible way to prop up painfully unlikable replacements.
