Because it’s just self-satisfied virtue signaling.
Nah, I don’t need someone to “correct” a Jewish director’s near 40-year-old, Nazi punching homage to 1930’s adventure serials. The movies are fine. They’re fun.
It’s okay to just enjoy stupid, fun shit without breathlessly signaling how unproblematic you are.
Thank you.
Nah. We can still have the Nazi punching and shit. But essentially she kinda talks to her great gramps, and when she brings to him what happened, Indy realizes “Oh wow. I didn’t know I did that much harm. If you want, you can fix my mistakes. Thank you.”
And then her hijinks ensue with companions of thembo AMAB who she’s been close to for 7 years, token cishet boy who funds this expedition purely for adventure and is on thin ice, and another one of the girls who’s randomly culturally versed and autism coded with her special interests.
He. Did. No. Harm!
And fuck off with that crap in the second paragraph. The virtue signal is blinding.
You’re just mad at the idea of good writing that doesn’t glorify appropriating ancient shit
You think slapping a bunch of labels ob cardboard is good writing.
Ancient shit from already dead people and civilizations would be getting destroyed right this second if it wasn’t in a museum. Ask the taliban how they’re doing.
There’s another thread telling about how Indie actually doesn’t steal from anyone and the last movie was explicitly RETURNING the ancient shit.
First movie: Fertility Statue from long dead civilization that even the locals didn’t know about. Also, the Arc, which no person should have, ever.
Second movie: returnes the sacred stones to the people who worship them
Third movie: becomes worthy of the grail, therefore owning it officially, and even leaving it behind once he didn’t need it anymore
Fourth movie: literally about returning the skull.
You certainly sound heated over a movie concept with a colourful cast.
Have you considered not getting so pissy over someone else’s ideas of entertainment? I mean, it’s not like we’re asking for a Hallmark movie, another movie about some stupid sport like football, or some half-baked feel good family movie with zero plot.
Or do you just hate the idea of diversity in movies and entertainment adjusting to the modern day’s awareness of things like some overly sensitive status quo tool?
Have you considered actually watching and understanding movies before complaining about how problematic they are and that “insert woke here” has to self-righteously fix them?
By all means, make a movie, but don’t use it to discredit and devalue an already existing franchise. And you are exactly asking for that. Make a new franchise or stay true to the original.
Funny how you dropped the argument on the previous movies in favor of “just let us have fun”. Well, you can have fun on the fanfiction site of your choice, but leave the canon alone.
To add to this:No one would have an issue with a female archeologist and a colorful cast that dowork to recover ancient artifacts and restore them to their rightful place, possibly fighting Nazis on the way. I daresay it’s a great premise for a movie, hell it’s an even better premise premise for a TV series that could go for several seasons.
But the moment you say ‘…And fixing this series!’ is when people are going to defend the original series and your idea is revealed not as something fun and exciting for you, but as yet another weapon to tear down something beloved by all.
What’s infuriating about OPs post is the insinuation that Indiana Jones would never do that of his own accord when in reality
Indiana Jones and the temple of Doom the second movie in the series stats out with Dr. Jones giving the remains of a Chinese emperor to a Chinese business man Shanghai in exchange for a large diamond which has no cultural relevance. And the movie ends with Indiana Jones bringing the stone that the Thuggie cult stole from the Indian village along with all of their kidnapped children
y'all what is a movie from the 80s that is YOUR movie? like for whatever reason. it’s incredibly nostalgic, you love it a lot, it just makes you feel good,you connect deeply with it. basic answers welcome
