An article about how calling the first three IJ films a trilogy is wrong. Not written as a hater, just saying that it is incorrect.
I'd love to hear your feedback
OT...Oh, Please

They've all been individual adventures, seems like KOTCS tried to break that by giving "Raiders" an arc, so to speak, other than that I totally agree though.
Plenty to read about on that topic around here...calakutha said:I think Spielberg and Lucas perhaps worried KOTCS wouldn't be embraced, so they tossed in a lot of throwbacks to Raiders and the other films (Indy's desk was full of photos of past characters) and made it a reunion movie, of sorts.
In an article regarding semantics there's no mention of the use of "Quadrillogy", "Tetrology", or the most awkward and fan devisive label to come off the pen of the maker:
Indiana Jones and the Raiders of the Lost Ark.
Montana Smith said:Original Trilogy + unplanned KOTCS tacked on at a late stage.
Toht's Arm said:Eh? Didn't the original 'plan' (or contract) involve five films?
Besides, I never got the impression that the Beards were thinking that far ahead when they did each film; they just focussed on one film at a time.

Montana Smith said:They knocked out three movies within a decade, at the end of which Indy rode off into the sunset and Spielberg considered that was the end of the matter...
Toht's Arm said:Calakutha, the contract with Paramount was initially for five films.
And Montana Smith, yes, they intended LC to be the final film. I'm just saying that they didn't 'plan' a trilogy to begin with. Maybe it's all semantics, but that was my point.
replican't said:of course they're a trilogy - there's three of them and they all have Indiana Jones in them.
Indy's brother said:Rather than arguing semantics, how about we just sidestep the whole thing and agree that OT stands for Original Three. Better?
Montana Smith said:The appearance of the Ark in TLC is a defining moment which links the last to the first.
Finn said:So, what we've got here is a trilogy of films... consisting of Raiders, LC and KotCS.
ToD is a separate part, a prequel. Which makes about dozen kinds of sense, actually, considering it's the only film in the series that contains no references to other pieces in the continuity and apart from the hero, doesn't share any character appearances with the rest.
