Crystal Skull main problem is that it has a good first half, but when the characters arrive to the jungle the whole movie falls apart. Not to mention the bad CGI, less violence than the original trilogy and bad attempts at comedy. It could have been better, but I know some people who liked it, but it seems like this new movie will try to distance itself from that and if the leaks are true it will alienate fans of the original trilogy and even the few fans of the fourth one, kind like what happened with The Rise of Skywalker, a movie that pleased no one
When it comes to casting Phoebe Waller-Bridge, don't overlook the possibility that Kathleen Kennedy could see her as being a younger version of herself.
As far as I’m concerned, the franchise finished when Indy, Indy Sr, Marcus & Sallah rode off into the sunset, closing off one of the greatest trilogies of all time.
Yeah, but Marion had to be brought back. I can't imagine why they didn't keep her for the whole series. Wasn't Lucas in a romance with the forgettable blonde in the third one?
@@mq1712 They made Temple of Doom a prequel so they could have Indy with a different girl and avoid the question of "Where's Marion"? Don't know why she wasn't in Last Crusade, though. Spielberg ended up marrying the blonde actress from Temple of Doom. That might be what you're thinking of.
Harrison Ford is at the end of his life and I’d have to imagine he just isn’t all there anymore, or he just wanted to feel one last time what it felt like to be on screen again. Wishes of a slowly dying old man… I would feel so shitty about being the third wheel in a franchise that I originally stared and headlined in.
@@Someguy6571 From the few interviews he does, he sounds like he likes (liked) Indiana Jones much more than Han Solo to begin with. He's an archeology enthusiast and whatnot. It seems he just did the film knowing that it was going to be his last appearance as IJ. Shame the director and producers put a shitty end to an iconic series.
Although I liked the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull, how can it be seen as part of the franchise If nobody decided to go with the idea of Indy having a son to follow his footsteps.
If you told me 15 years ago that there would be more Star Wars, Indiana Jones, and Marvel movies, I'd be excited as hell and nothing could stop me from going to see them. But, here we are.
It wasn't that they made more of those movies... it's HOW they made them... 🤷♂️ the wokeism agendas made them shit movies in my opinion. These movies could have been great if properly made 🤔.......

Honestly, I’m surprised nobody has remade (redacted) yet. I mean we got horrible sequels, and an okay-ish one. It’s kind of surprising nobody has taken a crack at it yet.
Indiana Jones will always be a trilogy to anyone who grew up on those movies. I introduced Indiana Jones to my 10 year old recently and we moved on after The Last Crusade because as far as I’m concerned that was the last Indy film.
I think it will always be a trilogy to everyone. You think ANYONE is rewatching these new films? Or watching them at all? No one is showing their kids Kingdom of The Crystal Skull.
It isn’t about how you’re concerned tho. All of the films are canon, and if you disagree then you’re just coping/in denial. There’s therapists for that. Take your son with you. You can both grow up together.
thats how i feel. after LAST CRUSADE, it was over. come on.. LAST crusade? it's done! crystal skull wasnt horrible... but it was boring. this new one i wont touch. the games werent any better years back lol. the arcade game was kinda good. the nintendo game sucked. the super nintendo trilogy of movies rolled into 1 game was pretty ok though. i just bought the trilogy's posters and put'em on my walls. but.. i still wont go see #5. nope. they're purposely, i believe, ruining movies now. also, seems to me, they're gettin rid of all the white male characters. in movies.. AND games now im noticing. oh, there was a pc game years back, he was in china, it was really good! they were to make a new game but.. never turned up. also, for those not in the know, indiana jones was a 25 chapter story. believe it or not, temple of doom comes BEFORE raiders! temple of doom is chapter 23, raiders is chapter 24, last crusade is chapter 25 AND the last chapter. so, indiana jones ended at last crusade. dont give a damn who agrees or pretends cyrstal skull and dial of dookie is "canon" - it isnt.
It feels different now. Disney has seriously damaged their brand. I remember watching South park and not quite getting why Disney was so unpopular. I completely understand now. I would actually celebrate if Disney collapsed. The unwillingness to course correct has me actively rooting for them to fail.
The only reason IPs take 75 years before they go into the public domain is due to Disney's sacks of cash lobbying. It used to be 25 years I believe. There are so many random creatives who could probably reinvigorate life into Mickey etc. just using the internet.
@@Snoop_Dugg I might be wrong but with their acquisition of Marvel, then Fox and now Hulu I swear they broke some monopoly laws in the US 3 times over. Also, the hypocritical cvnts managed to get the copyright or some such to fairy tales, like Cinderella etc.
Ironically I enjoyed the HELL out of Guardians Vol. 3, in saying that in many ways the movie feels like a big fuck you to Disney by James Gunn doing whatever the hell he wants
I can't believe we are now living in a world where Crystal Skull is no longer the biggest disappointment to the Indiana Jones series. Edit: To the people commenting on here to tell me to chill because I haven't seen the movie yet, oh you poor innocent children. Even if you're correct and I haven't seen it, what does it matter when the critics are already calling it bad and confirming the fears that a lot of us already had about them bringing Indy back for movie #5? And also given the track record with LucasFilm after the failures of Boba Fett, Obi Wan, Willow, and the latest season of the Mandalorian, what makes you think any of us can trust them to do right by Indiana Jones?
@@SuperFitzieZXyep. At least the prequels had a consistent and mostly coherent overarching plot. The sequels were just two guys screwing up the others work.
Have you seen it? You’re basing your opinion from a biased RUclipsr who is selecting comments out of context. Why don’t you wait and form your own judgement rather than follow someone else’s?
The saddest part is that Disney will learn absolutely nothing from this costly failure and will produce another in due time equally as pitiful. It never ends.
Too true I fear(sigh). As long as there are low-maintenance sheep willing to buy low-effort crap, that is what we will continue to see. Art imitates life.
@@StrongandGrand Can you really destroy a franchise that's already on it's second reboot which is already its worst version? The most that you can do is accellerate us towards reboot 3/version 4 which will hopefulyy be better.
I already knew long before there was even talks of an Indiana Jones movie. Disney is creatively bankrupt so they go and resurrect more successful older franchises in the hopes that they can bank off of nostalgia but in the process they infest it with THE MESSAGE and so it fails miserably. I had a feeling a potential Indiana Jones movie would fare no different as Disney is hellbent on destroying the old characters and replacing them with their inferior new characters who only exist as self inserts or as political props.
If she wasn't his god daughter, Phoebe Waller-Bridge's character would literally do that to him on screen for doing something "inappropriate" in the ultimate girl power moment.
@@thespalek1 Which is a lot less than what they'd be getting if they gave audiences what they wanted. A downturn in profits is a problem for any corporation, they don't need to lose money to be failing.
Indiana Jones was my childhood. Back in the day, I bought a custom fedora from the same hatter who made the hats for the Crystal Skull. I am just so sad about what is happening with the franchise, I can barely put it into words
Ironically enough, there´s a small dialogue in Jedi Survivor that goes like this: *-Cal* : The Emperor turned the Jedi Temple into his palace *-Bode* : Yeah, that´s what the Empire does best. *-Bode* : Take something you love, and make it something you can´t stand the sight of anymore I haven´t played the game, but when I first saw it, I instantly thought of Disney
Ironic that that line describes not only Disney, but Electronic Arts as well, what with their practice of buying out popular game studios and then running their franchises into the ground. I wonder if the developers were trying to subtly take a jab at either of them (possibly both).
@@dain9001 ... You have played the games before, right? She was literally thrown away like garbage in the first game by Vader, and only after several years of training was she even able to hold a candle to em. Maybe I am wasting my time, this is probably bait.
They should’ve made a movie about a happily retired Indiana Jones living in a small town. He drinks coffee at the local diner with the other old men, and goes fishing with his grandkids. And then comes the caper to find some local treasure. He can’t run or throw a punch anymore, but that’s part of a charm. The towns folk join in this unlikely adventure, which comes to a successful and happy, upbeat ending. It would be a small, toned down film to match Indy’s 80 year old capabilities.
I am old enough that I watched both Star Wars and Raiders of the Lost Ark in theaters. They were the type of blockbuster movies that aren’t made anymore. It’s hard to describe to even my own children how magical it was to go to a theater (without a million RUclips spoilers ahead of it) and have such original films come at you in your seat. Films that weren’t just entertaining, but we’re so profoundly good that you felt changed inside. Such a shame that culture has destroyed something so wonderful.
Dead on, I was 9 when I saw Star Wars and it was just....wow. Magical is a good word, I remember going home that night and dreaming about what I'd just seen
I remember being four or five years old I think my parents telling me we were going to go see the Raiders of the lost Ark. I had no idea what they were talking about but that movie just absolutely blow me away as a kid.
@dimitribotone9722 Coming from someone whose generation considered books about teenage wizards to be the peak of western literature, at least until Her Royal TERFness committed the Great Heresy, that bobbleheaded response is a compliment.
Top Gun Maverick gave us a look at what a decades-later sequel could be. It just hurts my heart that this series I loved so much has had to suffer like this.
The truth is that this is a movie that didn't need to be made. Harrison Ford has been too old to convincingly play the character for nearly 30 years. Some characters are better left being remembered for what they were.
@@robbiecasablanco2562 Ghost of Ice Man: "Use the Force, Maverick!" Command Officer: "Maverick, you switched off your targeting computer. "What's wrong?"
I am one of the weirdos that liked Kingdom of the Crystal Skull despite its shortcomings. Seeing Indie pick up the hat at the end with a smug smile on his lips made me feel like "Nah, you are not the next, Kiddo... Yet." It made me hope that we get maybe a father son type of deal going similar to Indie and his dad in the next movie. Maybe not with Shia but a different Actor. Hell maybe even Shia, who cares. The dude can act, he just needs good direction. It could have been such a natural way for things to flow since Crystal Skull already set up that Indie had a natural successor by simple Biology alone. But noooo instead they gotta make it a completely new character. Not even the perhaps in-law of the son. No some completely new god damn character. Best Money I never spent Best 2 hours I never wasted
@@NotAfraid280 Even if you liked it better than Crystalskull, which hey if you did im glad you had fun, you cant deny that this isnt a true to form Indie Movie.
In the poignant finale of 'Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade', we see Indiana Jones, his father, and their two trusted allies, Marcus Brody and Sallah, fading into the gentle embrace of the sunset, each on horseback. This melancholic, yet beautiful scene will forever be etched in my memory as the most fitting conclusion to the epic Indiana Jones story.
@@schwartzy65 skull wasnt a great movie , but i do agree it did tie up some threads in a way that was enjoyable. I just wish Sean agreed to atleast cameo in it.
“The Last Crusade” was it “4” could have worked if the Crystal Skulls were the actual ones instead of shaped like aliens…they could have been alien, but not odd shaped. Karen Allen was a nice nostalgic touch in the last one…why not tie that up? Shia LeBouf, who played his son in “4” has morphed into a very different actor since then, especially given his recent experience in the Padre Pio biopic; so he probably could have redeemed himself here and even had a smart pretty wife and a kid for Indy to be an awesome grandfather mentor for. I also like the idea of bringing back “Short Round” in a main role given his recent success and presence in “Everything everywhere all at once”. There are ways of adding “diversity” for modern audiences without having to take away from what we love about the original character! 😎🤙
If Kennedy wants to keep destroying all of Lucas's properties, why doesn't she reboot "Howard the Duck?" As dreadful as that thing was, I'm sure she'd manage to find a way to make it even worse.
You can tell this one hit Drinker harder than normal at the end. I get it man. Losing my first hero was awful... watching literally all of them die in succession is like PTSD to the creative mind.
The only analogy I can think of is Kathleen Kennedy (wo)manning an MG42 on D-day, and we're watching our heroes get cut to ribbons, Saving Private Ryan style...
But I thought Spielberg and Lucas already killed the franchise with Crystal Skull? That's at least what all the man-babies were crying about up until now
@@Luke101 They most certainly committed creative murder with the "Crystal Skull". It should have been dead and buried before then, but we'll just have to find a way to live our lives with that movie in existence. But this is like excavating a corpse to perform another autopsy, and maybe they tricked themselves into believing that Spielberg and Lucas weren't the murderers of "Indiana Jones" in the first place. They instead spread Kathleen Kennedy's DNA all over the body, the hat and the whip and are now blaming her for killing another franchise.
i would say the plane crashing into a tunel is more accurate, like dysney - they are still going on because they had lots of speed built up, but not a chance to continue for long
Very true, Lucasfilm logo always meant an amazing story and visual treats. Huge shame disney acquired them, completely ruined the amazing ips i grew up loving
Time for everyone to move on, especially LucasFilm, but also the fans. The whole creative world is being held back by this nostalgia, a seeming inability to grow up. A friend of mine recently mourned the passing of his heroes, REAL ones such as Neil Armstrong and Chuck Yeager. I told him "There will be others". We just have to stop living in the past. In the immortal words of the fictitious Ragnar Lothbrook in "Vikings": "Don't waste time looking behind you - you're not going that way."
My feeling on it is of the 'it has to be said, because it's unprintable' variety, except that I know of no curses in the tongues of men vile enough to express it.

My grandfather was at my brother's graduation and got bored, so he stood up to go to the washroom. There was some ceremony on the stage at the time and the wires must have crossed, because the principal of our school misunderstood that as an attempt to give a speech. My grandpappy was like "sure, why not". Man went through WW2 as an interpreter in a recce platoon, and then became a tenured professor. He just whipped out a whole ass speech on the spot, nice and short, and received a standing ovation. That's the people the Dial of Destiny is making fun of: old people are funny, look how awesome they were and how lame they are now that they are old, isn't it funny?
Are these things you ask only of society and others? Or do you demand the same qualities in yourself and what you contribute to the world? Because you make it sound like you´re an Epic person.
I feel I was lucky to have had the experience of walking into a theater to watch “Raiders of the Lost Ark” without a single clue as to what it was about.
@@kay_keik7842Are you serious? just tell us you only watch Marvel movies acting like every single movie released in the last decade is bad. embarrassing.
There is no other sequel to this third masterpiece. The crystal nonsense already isn't canon for me anymore. Let alone whatever they cooked up now. It sounds awful.
I am losing count of how many beers I owe the Drinker for the small fortune he is saving me at the box office. Edit: As of now this video has 1.1 million views. It's probably safe to assume that any one of the viewers would have taken at least one other person with them to the theater, probably more. So, the number of people NOT going to see this movie could easily be doubled or maybe tripled. It's wild to think that this eight and a half minute video is going to cost Disney tens of millions of dollars.
@@cole0424 Yeah, we all remember how he was "spot on" with his "Prey Traler analysis" video ... and we also remember tht he had to change his mind after actually seing the movie
Something has definitely changed very recently. For whatever reason, we are actually seeing some degree of real honesty from the professional critics for the first time in years. It's almost like the triumph of Super Mario Brothers and the uprising against Anheuser-Busch has people inside the corporate world scared. It's as if the critics can sense some kind of reckoning coming soon and they want to reclaim some measure of credibility in an attempt to save their own skins.
What's incredible to me is not that a bad movie is made, but that they have no processes in place to remove the people or work groups that make a bad movie. They just line them all up again, and allow them to work on new movies. The movies aren't the problem, but the systems in place at Lucas Films.
Remember the scene in the Wizard of Oz where the little dog pulls back the curtain to reveal the secret of the Wizard? Remember what the Wizard says as he desperately tries to maintain the ruse? "Pay no attention to that man behind the curtain" - the problem being, the illusion is shattered and there's no un-seeing it. No matter what the do, Disney has lost they good-will of the entire fan base for multiple franchises and has the hubris to blame you.
The thing that never gets said about all that Star Wars sequel trilogy merchandise not getting sold is that's what was in every aisle of Toys "R" Us stores when they went out of business.

A once great-company renowned for it's brilliant engineering, until its management was taken over by hacks who already ran a former competitor into the ground? That moved their headquarters out of Seattle for the express purpose of giving engineers *less* control? And which has been steadily losing market share due to their continued incompetence? Nope, I can't think of a single one. It definitely has nothing to do with, say, Boeing. They're doing great :)
At this point, we need to stop looking at Kathleen Kennedy as a poor business woman, and start looking at her as a Super villain. She has single handedly destroyed franchises and executed character assassinated of some of the most influential icons of the last 40 years. This is not incompetence, this is calculated and well planned...
Of course it's calculated and planned. Hollywood has gone woke, they are destroying any iconic masculine role they can get their hands on and replacing it with a female. White characters get similar treatment
It's a combination of arrogance and stupidity. She thought she could use a well established franchise to push her ideology on to the fans. They'll just keep coming back for more because to her, they are stupid. She forgot one thing - the fans are mostly white males, the very segment of the population is alienating.
It still baffles me how Kathleen Kennedy still has a job at Disney. I swear she has some proper skeletons in the closet material, as there is no other way someone can be so bad at such a high profile job and remain in it.
Disneys afraid that if they fire her, not only could they get sued by her, but also, most importantly, they think they’ll receive tons of backlash from fans. That’s just how far disconnected they actually are from their consumers.
She probably knows about the skeletons of others there. The skeletons of children who had intimate relationships with her bosses and peers, for example.
My father took me to see Raiders of the Lost Ark back in 1981 and it was one of the greatest movie experiences I've ever had. Just an absolute masterpiece of a story and main character. My god, how times have changed.
I went to see Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade when I was 16. The next day, I took my 9 year old brother all the way to the movie theater on our bikes to see it again. I couldn’t wait to share that experience with him.
My grandfather took me to see Star Wars and Raiders, and on some level, I grew up wanting to be Harrison Ford. They've defiled some of the greatest stories of our childhood years. Sad.
@@chuckhoyle1211 I think the the prequels are deeply flawed gems. The premise, a tragic story of a hero corrupted due to a stagnant and dogmatic world order and the subsequent collapse of said order, is phenomenal. The execution, however, is rough, especially in the first two movies. ROTS is my favorite Star Wars movie because it's the best ending to a trilogy
Same with the Star Wars prequels who were trashed on for a decade, until we got the sequel, and the kids who had watched the prequels grew up and had nostalgia for them
@@blacklivesorblackvotes2985 Good, let the bot spam away. People need a good multiple slaps in the face to wake up and realize what we hold beloved is purposefully being turned into garbage by garbage woke ideaologues.
That isn't true. What was once considered "evil" is known seen as "good" and vice versa. Questioning currently held beliefs is what pushes things forward. Inventions certainly have a tendency to bring up controversy.
Just say to yourself "The Indiana Jones Trilogy" There is no real Indiana Jones after Holy Grail. Then you can remember Indy and his family and friends riding off into the sunset like He deserved.
Just write it all off as a fever dream or a drug-induced hallucination; they can't kill anything, they can only obscure it from new eyes with a layer of shit.
It's literally the definition of insanity. They keep trying to do the same thing.. over and over and over again. Expecting different results. It just keeps plummeting.
Dont be fooled its not insanity, its engineered by psychopatic bilionaries sponsoring this shit. They keep doing this, because they must. Otherwise they will be canceled in Hollywood, media and sponsors.
As long as it makes money it works for them. They dont care about morals, heritage, a good entertaining story or fans. Making money = pass. Disney would make a drama series about the SS or Islamic State if it made money.
Disney's self destruction has been nothing short of magical to watch, they tried to test the waters on the phrase " too big to fail" They were handed several IPs loaded with content and decided to do their own thing and it blew up in their stupid faces
@@NinjaFlibble well they have ambushed big iger for his incompetence in dictating activist ideologies at the expense of quality filmmaking, while making financials deals with communist china that don't love anything disney produces, especially when it comes to diversity. That's hilarious. So maybe they are suing them. I just think the shareholders are abandoning disney, entirely.
The only one who I probably feel genuinely sorry for, is John Williams. Dude put so much effort into creating such an iconic theme for this movie series. So to learn that this will be his final film before retiring, and it’s gonna be a huge clusterf**k, it’s just feels painful to see this man who put so much effort into making everything in Hollywood movies so good be all for nothing.
Unless he lived under a rock these past 10 years, he should have seen this coming. Writing was on the wall ever since Last Jedi: Disney hates their fans.
When I first saw The Last Crusade, it began my little tradition of watching a film until the last credit rolled and the lights in the theater came back on. It was the perfect ending. Riding into the sunset, Father and Son. The father with his best friend and the Son with his best friend. The four of them having gone on the greatest adventure one ever could.
I love this too. It is also why I hate, hate, hate most streaming services now. To interrupt the things I'm feeling after a great movie or tv show so they (Hulu) can countdown from 6,000 seconds until I get back to the "browser menu" or they (Amazon) can show me what will come next that I never asked for is beyond frustrating. I will never subscribe to that shit.
@@loopy7232 i dont like streaming services either because like you say they always want to give you something to watch after like a loop but after a movie or series episode i dont really want to watch another series or movie maybe i just want to think about what i have just watched instead of gorging on another one
They literally rode off into the sunset, only it was a powered up version because they did so to the tune of one of the greatest themes in cinematic history. They stuck the landing as perfectly as possible but unfortunately that wasn't good enough.
There is a word in german for it: Kotmidas Edit: The word originated from the game around a very "big" german lol-cow called Dragonlord. Everything he does or interacts with, basically turns to shit. Same with the life of every person he gets into contact with. Count Dankula made a series on him.
Ford seems to just want to take truck loads of money to turn up and go through the motions these days. As someone else mentioned, respect to Cavill for walking away from the ever growing piles of steaming turds from Disney, Prime, Netflix, etc

I'm actually starting to think that after years of secretly despising having to work for George Lucas, Kathleen Kennedy devised a plan to secretly destroy everything Lucasfilms ever built and she did it.
I don't think she intentionally did it, but it was so internalised and subconscious that you can really just the disdain she has for Lucas on her face.
There’s some really good stories where a legacy character passed on the torch to and stayed on as mentoring the younger generation. Like Batman Beyond. Yes, Bruce starts out as a jaded and embittered old man estranged from his friends and without any purpose anymore as he had to resort to threatening a mook with a gun in order to save his own life. However, once Terry enters his life and reminds him of his purpose, Bruce steps in as mentor and teacher and even becomes a father figure. It’s like watching a dying flower given water. Sure, it takes time and he’s still a cranky old man but he has purpose again. Terry is no slouch either. He’s a capable, smart, snarky, temperamental, caring and passionate young man who is on a redemption journey after having wasted his youth in juvie. Granted, he has a learning curve and makes mistakes along the way but he keeps going. So it can be done. But it takes a competent group of talented people to pull it off and I think we’ve established that KK isn’t one of those people.
It's one of those things where movies like that from time to time aren't much of a problem, but at this point, it overrides other concerns about the narrative in ways that make movies worse. It's also bad because often times those strong female leads don't have obstacles that are large enough to be a real challenge, which kind of makes it this weird things where they're still kind of knocking women, even though the female characters are still "strong."
@@SmallSpoonBrigade Rey in the SW sequels, Mulan and Ariel in the live action remakes are classic examples of Disney's current obsession with satisfying #metoo. Their characters have been elevated to levels of ridiculousness. Mulan has been transformed into a comic book heroine with superpowers, Eric in TLM has been reduced to standing in Ariel's shadow, and Rey is an 'upgraded' Luke with tits. Taking Rey as an example, she started out fine but by the time we got to TROS she had become so good at everything all the other characters were surplus to requirements - great pilot, great mechanic, great fighter, powerful Force user, great healer and finally....all the Jedi. I actually cringed watching the end of TROS - she was so too good to be true it was embarrassing. And, having not learned their lesson, DLF, now a #metoo propaganda machine, intend to give her yet another film where she runs a Jedi Academy and 'achieves what Luke couldn't'....their own words. The live action Little Mermaid has tanked in the US. Maybe it will take these morons at Disney sit up and realise what they have done....but I doubt it.
@@danbooth2163 Sometimes you can tell that you're most likely not going to be interested in a product, judging from promotional material as well as other things the same studio has been putting out, and their general way of doing things, trends in their products, etc. It is a bit silly of him to present it as though he's already formed an opinion on the movie rather than say "Yeah, this is probably gonna suck", but I definitely wouldn't expect any kind of hype or even mild indifference, because that would be just as dishonest when we know what kind of company Disney has become.
A franchise that should have ended 30 years ago? It did, the moment Indy, his dad, Marcus, and Sallah rode off into the sunset. Also, Star Wars ended when Luke smiled at the Force ghosts as he and his friends celebrated at the end of ROTJ.
I will say I think there should've been prequels for Star Wars. Episode 3 wasn't perfect but still valuable in the series for me. With that being said there's so much they messed up in the prequels... it could've been done well and it still adds some value to the franchise... should've added a lot more if it were executed better
Thing is, all corporations are doing it now, but they are relatively hidden from public view. Poor corporate employees have to go through this indoctrination all over our once great country. Many of us were taught to abhor social engineering and associate it with the likes of nazi Germany. So, it's heartbreaking to see this thing.
I remember when Jim Henson found out he was terminally ill and sold all his Muppet rights to Disney as the only organization he thought could protect his work. There was a time Disney was trusted to make only good family entertainment. Look at the queer trash they make now.
The idea that Bob Gale has never green-lit a Back To The Future Part IV is looking all the more saner. He must've had foreknowledge on how they would butcher his baby.
I heard that Robert Zemeckis has also specifically refused to give the rights to them, because of crap like this. Good for him - lets hope he doesn't buckle under the lure of the Disney big bucks that they will inevitably throw at him, if they haven't already.

Legend has it that after this movie release, George Lucas denied having had any connection to Lucas Film in the past, Harrison Ford goes into a fit of rage whenever someone brings up Indiana Jones, the Kennedy family disavowed Kathleen, and the state of Indiana applied for a legal name change.
@@Treklosopher I wouldn't say that. He has expensive hobbies like private aviation, and an expensive wife. The liquidity needs to flow, and the opportunities to make a big paycheck are far and few in between for people in their 80s and 90s.
Indiana Jones was a very important part of my childhood, to the point I grew up loving History and visiting historical sites, remembering from time to time my 6 years old self, eyes shining with the sheer sight of that particular building in Petra at the end of The Last Crusade. I ended watching this Drinker's video genuinely sad. Just deeply sad.
People being given jobs or leadership roles because of their sex or color of their skin never goes well. From Bud Light marketing director, to CEO of Lucas Films, to Vice President and countless others, it doesn't turn out well. They didn't earn it. They don't know what they're doing and they are out of touch with people who have had to earn their place in society and the world. They can't succeed because they've never had to.
Concur. The spousal unit even enjoyed Crystal Skull, which at least tried to treat the character with some respect and granted closure to the Marion/Indy relationship. This one won't even get a viewing. I can't even get her to watch the Drinker's review; the sadness, or Disney's failure, is complete.
same here, its really weird why disney a big company who cares about money more than anyone hasnt sacked the entire team and replaced em with competent ones like dave filoni... its like suddenly disney isnt a greedy company anymore and just wants to die along with lucasfilm
Right? Imagine going back in time 20 years and telling people that in the near future that future Star Wars, Marvel and Indianna Jones would become feminist laughing stocks and absolutely fail at the box office
Glad Indiana Jones only had 3 great movies (imo). I don't consider what Disney and LucasFilm do to these franchises canon anymore. Focusing on identity politics bs rather than a well done story will make them go bankrupt and I'm here for it!
Say it with me: It doesn't matter who bought/ licensed what, if it's not George Lucas, it's not star wars. Just like Rings of Power ain't lord of the rings.
You know what, it seems this movie will even irritate the people who liked Crystal Skull. That kind of reminds me that J.J Abrams wanted to include Jar Jar's skeleton in a scene of Ep. VII, I mean people said we shouldn't be so toxic towards the prequels and its actors, there're people who actually liked Jar Jar due to his better role in The Clone Wars, but J.J was actually considering a mean-spirited joke against him. I easy to made fun of a character, the hard thing is to elevate and fix one
The idiots can do whatever they want with the franchises, I choose when they end and buy the good ones on disc. SW is only 6 movies and a ton of books in my reality.
It's like so many other franchises....the quality declines over time. Why not leave well enough alone? You can now cut and paste scenes from episode to episode with almost no compromise in continuity. I'll always love Karen Allen's lovely. fresh, and ingenuous character....one of the best memories of all the episodes.
We truly live in a society where mocking a film is more entertaining than the film itself.

Crystal Skull at least had Lucas and Spielberg working on it. I ruled out Indy 5 when I heard they weren't involved.
Crystal Skull main problem is that it has a good first half, but when the characters arrive to the jungle the whole movie falls apart. Not to mention the bad CGI, less violence than the original trilogy and bad attempts at comedy. It could have been better, but I know some people who liked it, but it seems like this new movie will try to distance itself from that and if the leaks are true it will alienate fans of the original trilogy and even the few fans of the fourth one, kind like what happened with The Rise of Skywalker, a movie that pleased no one
Ford was too old in Crystal skull they needed a young indy again

Honestly, I’m surprised nobody has remade (redacted) yet. I mean we got horrible sequels, and an okay-ish one. It’s kind of surprising nobody has taken a crack at it yet.
Indiana Jones will always be a trilogy to anyone who grew up on those movies. I introduced Indiana Jones to my 10 year old recently and we moved on after The Last Crusade because as far as I’m concerned that was the last Indy film.
I agree. Perfect ending to the saga; 3 films, no more!
I think it will always be a trilogy to everyone. You think ANYONE is rewatching these new films? Or watching them at all? No one is showing their kids Kingdom of The Crystal Skull.
Have you even played the games or read the comics/books?
It isn’t about how you’re concerned tho. All of the films are canon, and if you disagree then you’re just coping/in denial. There’s therapists for that. Take your son with you. You can both grow up together.
thats how i feel. after LAST CRUSADE, it was over. come on.. LAST crusade? it's done! crystal skull wasnt horrible... but it was boring. this new one i wont touch. the games werent any better years back lol. the arcade game was kinda good. the nintendo game sucked. the super nintendo trilogy of movies rolled into 1 game was pretty ok though. i just bought the trilogy's posters and put'em on my walls. but.. i still wont go see #5. nope. they're purposely, i believe, ruining movies now. also, seems to me, they're gettin rid of all the white male characters. in movies.. AND games now im noticing.
oh, there was a pc game years back, he was in china, it was really good! they were to make a new game but.. never turned up. also, for those not in the know, indiana jones was a 25 chapter story. believe it or not, temple of doom comes BEFORE raiders! temple of doom is chapter 23, raiders is chapter 24, last crusade is chapter 25 AND the last chapter. so, indiana jones ended at last crusade. dont give a damn who agrees or pretends cyrstal skull and dial of dookie is "canon" - it isnt.
It feels different now. Disney has seriously damaged their brand. I remember watching South park and not quite getting why Disney was so unpopular. I completely understand now.

Disney is creatively bankrupt so they go and resurrect more successful older franchises in the hopes that they can bank off of nostalgia but in the process they infest it with THE MESSAGE and so it fails miserably.

Last Crusade was such a great send-off and conclusion to the trilogy.
The opening scene with River Phoenix as young Indy was the best part of that film.
Exactly. And it's a good thing that that movie was the last Indy movie. There are no more Indy movies after that one.
There is no other sequel to this third masterpiece. The crystal nonsense already isn't canon for me anymore. Let alone whatever they cooked up now. It sounds awful.

Iger must want rid of Kennedy, and so the bad reviews were given the go ahead through the back channels.
Something has definitely changed very recently. For whatever reason, we are actually seeing some degree of real honesty from the professional critics for the first time in years. It's almost like the triumph of Super Mario Brothers and the uprising against Anheuser-Busch has people inside the corporate world scared. It's as if the critics can sense some kind of reckoning coming soon and they want to reclaim some measure of credibility in an attempt to save their own skins.
What's incredible to me is not that a bad movie is made, but that they have no processes in place to remove the people or work groups that make a bad movie. They just line them all up again, and allow them to work on new movies. The movies aren't the problem, but the systems in place at Lucas Films.
Every studio today is getting like that. It's horrible.
They are now like governments, drunk on power. Movie companies should have term limits!
they only have one job, subvert you and shove communist propaganda. And that's what they are good at.

At this point, we need to stop looking at Kathleen Kennedy as a poor business woman, and start looking at her as a Super villain. She has single handedly destroyed franchises and executed character assassinated of some of the most influential icons of the last 40 years. This is not incompetence, this is calculated and well planned...
I'm still holding out hope that the terrible movies will make the brands cheap enough for someone competent to buy them.
It’s hard to believe she can be this stupid, so it must be purposeful.
Of course it's calculated and planned. Hollywood has gone woke, they are destroying any iconic masculine role they can get their hands on and replacing it with a female. White characters get similar treatment
It's a combination of arrogance and stupidity. She thought she could use a well established franchise to push her ideology on to the fans. They'll just keep coming back for more because to her, they are stupid. She forgot one thing - the fans are mostly white males, the very segment of the population is alienating.
This is planned destruction in the same manner of the World Economic Forum: destroying the economy AND the culture.
When I saw 70 year old Kennedy clomp out in a pair of Chinese Nike's, I set up the short-sell order ASAP.
You've heard of "too big to fail?" Well we've now entered the era of movie franchises being "too big to succeed."

It still baffles me how Kathleen Kennedy still has a job at Disney. I swear she has some proper skeletons in the closet material, as there is no other way someone can be so bad at such a high profile job and remain in it.
She must have. She certainly has failed to deliver good financial results while destroying a number of what were once valuable franchises.
Diversity hire.
@@joelspringman523 no amount of diversity points are worth the financial train wreak she is overseeing.
Disneys afraid that if they fire her, not only could they get sued by her, but also, most importantly, they think they’ll receive tons of backlash from fans. That’s just how far disconnected they actually are from their consumers.
She probably knows about the skeletons of others there. The skeletons of children who had intimate relationships with her bosses and peers, for example.

My father took me to see Raiders of the Lost Ark back in 1981 and it was one of the greatest movie experiences I've ever had. Just an absolute masterpiece of a story and main character.
My god, how times have changed.
I went to see Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade when I was 16. The next day, I took my 9 year old brother all the way to the movie theater on our bikes to see it again. I couldn’t wait to share that experience with him.
I had the exact same experience. I wanted to see Superman but my dad took me to this one instead, and what a wise decision that was.
In the 80s it was on UK TV and I was allowed to stay up late to watch it
My dad says to this day that raiders of the lost ark is one of the greatest cinematic experiences he has EVER had while at the cinema.

When I first saw The Last Crusade, it began my little tradition of watching a film until the last credit rolled and the lights in the theater came back on.
It was the perfect ending. Riding into the sunset, Father and Son. The father with his best friend and the Son with his best friend. The four of them having gone on the greatest adventure one ever could.
Don't. Rub it. In.
I love this too. It is also why I hate, hate, hate most streaming services now. To interrupt the things I'm feeling after a great movie or tv show so they (Hulu) can countdown from 6,000 seconds until I get back to the "browser menu" or they (Amazon) can show me what will come next that I never asked for is beyond frustrating. I will never subscribe to that shit.
@@loopy7232 i dont like streaming services either because like you say they always want to give you something to watch after like a loop but after a movie or series episode i dont really want to watch another series or movie maybe i just want to think about what i have just watched instead of gorging on another one
They literally rode off into the sunset, only it was a powered up version because they did so to the tune of one of the greatest themes in cinematic history. They stuck the landing as perfectly as possible but unfortunately that wasn't good enough.

A fate worse than death
All part of the plan
There’s some really good stories where a legacy character passed on the torch to and stayed on as mentoring the younger generation.
Like Batman Beyond. Yes, Bruce starts out as a jaded and embittered old man estranged from his friends and without any purpose anymore as he had to resort to threatening a mook with a gun in order to save his own life. However, once Terry enters his life and reminds him of his purpose, Bruce steps in as mentor and teacher and even becomes a father figure. It’s like watching a dying flower given water. Sure, it takes time and he’s still a cranky old man but he has purpose again.
Terry is no slouch either. He’s a capable, smart, snarky, temperamental, caring and passionate young man who is on a redemption journey after having wasted his youth in juvie. Granted, he has a learning curve and makes mistakes along the way but he keeps going.
So it can be done. But it takes a competent group of talented people to pull it off and I think we’ve established that KK isn’t one of those people.
As a woman I am so very tired of this 'women don't need men' crap.
It's one of those things where movies like that from time to time aren't much of a problem, but at this point, it overrides other concerns about the narrative in ways that make movies worse. It's also bad because often times those strong female leads don't have obstacles that are large enough to be a real challenge, which kind of makes it this weird things where they're still kind of knocking women, even though the female characters are still "strong."
@@SmallSpoonBrigade Rey in the SW sequels, Mulan and Ariel in the live action remakes are classic examples of Disney's current obsession with satisfying #metoo. Their characters have been elevated to levels of ridiculousness. Mulan has been transformed into a comic book heroine with superpowers, Eric in TLM has been reduced to standing in Ariel's shadow, and Rey is an 'upgraded' Luke with tits.
Taking Rey as an example, she started out fine but by the time we got to TROS she had become so good at everything all the other characters were surplus to requirements - great pilot, great mechanic, great fighter, powerful Force user, great healer and finally....all the Jedi. I actually cringed watching the end of TROS - she was so too good to be true it was embarrassing.
And, having not learned their lesson, DLF, now a #metoo propaganda machine, intend to give her yet another film where she runs a Jedi Academy and 'achieves what Luke couldn't'....their own words.

same here, its really weird why disney a big company who cares about money more than anyone hasnt sacked the entire team and replaced em with competent ones like dave filoni... its like suddenly disney isnt a greedy company anymore and just wants to die along with lucasfilm
The old movies aren’t gone though! They’re great films no matter what bullshit follows
The most shocking thing is that no one could have predicted this
You mean everyone could have predicted this?
@@theflyingninja1 i'm pretty sure, yeah
Right? Imagine going back in time 20 years and telling people that in the near future that future Star Wars, Marvel and Indianna Jones would become feminist laughing stocks and absolutely fail at the box office
@@TbagsPS And then proceed to tell them it was all done on purpose, with intent established decades prior.
Everyone predicted this.
Glad Indiana Jones only had 3 great movies (imo). I don't consider what Disney and LucasFilm do to these franchises canon anymore. Focusing on identity politics bs rather than a well done story will make them go bankrupt and I'm here for it!
Say it with me: It doesn't matter who bought/ licensed what, if it's not George Lucas, it's not star wars. Just like Rings of Power ain't lord of the rings.
You know what, it seems this movie will even irritate the people who liked Crystal Skull. That kind of reminds me that J.J Abrams wanted to include Jar Jar's skeleton in a scene of Ep. VII, I mean people said we shouldn't be so toxic towards the prequels and its actors, there're people who actually liked Jar Jar due to his better role in The Clone Wars, but J.J was actually considering a mean-spirited joke against him. I easy to made fun of a character, the hard thing is to elevate and fix one
The idiots can do whatever they want with the franchises, I choose when they end and buy the good ones on disc. SW is only 6 movies and a ton of books in my reality.
@@pablocasas5906 Umm... there are people who liked Jar Jar? Even Lucas had regrets about that.
have you actually SEEN Dial of Destiny, to establish if it's any good?? Or are you just addicted to misery?
It's like so many other franchises....the quality declines over time. Why not leave well enough alone? You can now cut and paste scenes from episode to episode with almost no compromise in continuity. I'll always love Karen Allen's lovely. fresh, and ingenuous character....one of the best memories of all the episodes.
