And as a long time fan, you have every right of feeling that way.Silvor said:I want to see what the character of Indy (which I have loved ever since I was a kid) is up to at the tail end of his life.
But you've got to realize that you are part of a tiny minority, a demographic which Disney is not likely to be worried about much, if at all.
They bought the IP to make $$$, period.
It's a business venture for them, no more. Show-business, entertainment, call it what you will, but business nonetheless.
This next movie has got to be make or break for the future of the franchise, surely.
There is no planned trilogy, like when "The Force Awakens" came out.
If they blow it with Indy 5, if it fails to revive the brand with young audiences, that's it.
Their main goal is not to wrap up old Indy's story satisfyingly for older fans - it's to build the foundations for future movies aimed at Disney's typical audiences.
And that's what they'll do, you can bet the house.
Precisely.Finn said:To me, it's always been about the character. That's why I think it'd be down right asinine to let it die with the actor.
Harrison Ford is Indiana Jones, but Indiana Jones is not Harrison Ford.
Ford gave the character its best known face, but dozens of talented authors over the years have contributed to making the character what it is today - not just actors, but writers, directors, producers, artists, etc etc. And they've done it across multiple mediums. To give credit of all that to just one man is pretty gosh darn insulting to the rest of them.
And there are plenty more waiting to keep the character alive.
