I know his leather jacket and fedora thing is iconic, or at least was in the 80s and 90s, but does anyone else feel that the concept of Indy wearing what is basically a costume take away from the grit and realism of the character? I mean we talk about how Raiders is gritty and such, but a costume is sort of superhero-ish, isn't it?
I'm not saying that the fedora and leather jacket should've been ditched in sequels, but did it have to be the EXACT SAME OUTFIT over a 20+ year span (from Temple to Skull)? Especially when Last Crusade shows us that Indy is essentially cosplaying as an earlier adventurer?
I just think that some variation to the outfits should've been done every film. It would've made Indy a little less superhero-esque and a little more gritty. Even James Bond changes outfits between films.
