The point is, the man looks ancient now. He's 70. Indy 5 isn't going to happen. He's a few years away from the retirement home. The majority don't want to see an elderly Indy. And this whole thread is about how Harrison looks and how his age is (or isn't) an issue.
Funny that you are now playing the 'on-topic' card because it never mattered to you in the past.
That said, if you're going to adhere to the purpose of this topic in regards to Indy 5, then why bother comparing the 39-year-old Ford with the 49-year-old Ford?
(Not to mention your long 'wish-list' of how "Crystal Skull" should have been made.)
Anyway, you've repeatedly spoken about
your desire to see Indy 5 set in the early 1960s (and even started *3* threads about it).
That setting would require an older Harrison!

He's also grown softer as a character. Would the Indy of the original trilogy have really believed Mac or forgiven his repeated treachery enough to try to save him at the end? This is a character who we're first introduced to when he without a moment's hesitation whips the gun out of a hired goon who's about to betray him, and then glares evily at said goon as the goon runs away. The only reasons he forgave Elsa's betrayal was because A) He loved her B) She was a woman, he has a soft spot for women and C) He realized she wasn't a real Nazi; She was much like him in many ways. Mac was a "friend" who couldn't care less if Indy got killed as long as he got the riches at Akator. Would Mac have been able to pull the wool over Indy's eyes and regain his trust after repeated betrayals in 1935, 1936, 1938?
A) He loved her B) She was a woman, he has a soft spot for women and C) He realized she wasn't a real Nazi;
You're forgetting (or conveniently ignoring) the fact that Indy tried to save the Thuggee Guard from death by rock crusher.
Using Raiders112390's logic:
A) Indy loved the Thuggee Guard.
B) The guard was a big, burly man and Indy has a soft spot for big, burly men.
C) Indy realized that the guard was a fellow human being.

I was pointing out the man aged badly. Accept it,

And he was looking long in the tooth by LC. I stand by that. An actor's appearance kinda defines the character they're playing and when the guy looks older and weathered, their character is going to look the same way.
4 years (Technically 5 years if we're counting that filming was in 2007) can make a big difference in someone's appearance dude. 4 years ago Harrison was less jowly and less wrinkled.
Like I said before, you are much too obsessed with Harrison's wrinkles and your statements are inconsistent and contradictory.
According to Raiders112390:
1989 - Harrison aged badly.
2008 - Harrison didn't look bad.
2012 - Harrison aged badly.
All within the space of 2 weeks! Raiders112390, you are mixed up and your opinions don't make any sense. Your opinions change like a blowing wind, traveling from hither to thither. This makes it difficult to understand your true position.

And you basically copy down people's post names and recall posts of theirs from 2, 3, 4 years ago in an effort to trap them. One of the mods even said you are obsessed and not in a good way with playing at being a mod.
I
would ask you to provide examples of me trying to "trap" someone from 3-4 year-old posts but you won't be able do it because:
1 - They don't exist.
2 - You refuse to use the search function.
Regardless, this has NOTHING to do with Harrison's age so I don't know why you're fixating on it.
(Do I need to mention the fact that you were suspended *3* times because you didn't listen to the mods?)
