For the love of God please stop making poor old Harrison Ford pretend to be a 40 year old treasure hunter.

Nobody wants to watch “Indiana Jones and the Non ADA Compliant Ramp Outside the Post Office”

I still don’t understand why Indiana Jones wasn’t made into a sort of James Bond legacy character

Like the movies are my problematic favs - yes, I know they’re steeped in racism but also it’s fun to see Nazis get decked and all - but there’s something depressing about the latest movie being mostly about Jones being old, decrepit, and cranky. It loses a lot of its charm that way

Especially considering he literally has a young protege in a bunch of the movies, the passing of the torch writes itself.

Unless they’re just really committing to the bit and soon they’re gonna have a movie where Ford is the ancient mcguffin a new younger adventurer has to find a “rescue”/steal.

Lmao, Shia LeBeouf got ’d so hard

Just looked it up and he has a recent lawsuit for SA shit from FKA Twigs, so fuck him and I’m retroactively glad he’s washed up

i’m 90% certain that was the idea with Crystal Skull & Shia leboufe but i think it disappointed money-wise and Shia became less of a rising star and more of a liability for the studios

There are books upon books of Young Indiana Jones and also some solid Indiana Jones games that could get the screen treatment. They’re RIGHT FUCKING THERE USE THOSE

Somehow the idea that Indiana Jones is a character and not Punch People Action Guy and he must be played by Harrison Ford is so absurd. He is a hat, a jacket, a whip, exciting danger and punching. Harrison Ford wasn’t even the first guy to play Indiana Jones from a thematic standpoint. They were ripping off old adventure serials which starred that exact archetype.

The racism and misogyny are fucking hard to sit through as an adult, i rewatched the first one recently ang omg. The love subplot is Indi slept with a 16 year old and she falls in love with him.

Made doubly worse that the latest two movies involve that being a fond relationship that he pines over, which is fucking gross

They’re Not Great, that’s for sure
