Please speak clearly on this one. If I wanted murky metaphors, I'd talk to my wife rather than post here.
Post [NOT-Quadrilogy (Bad! Bad!) BUT] Tetralogy Indy Cameo(s) what do you think?
- Thread starter Indy's brother
- Start date
See post #7 in this thread.
Simply put, tetralogy (which refers to number "four" in Greek) is the proper word to describe a four-part-series. "Quadrilogy" is technically nothing more than a butchered modernization somebody derived from Latin because it apparently sounds cooler or something.

I gave you four solid possibilities in post #2.
It's only a fantasy thread anyway.
Besides, the board already went to hell in a handbasket.

If what George reads has any credence, that's not a permanent state.
Joining Indy with another franchise, even on this level, is something of a risk, since that more or less weds him to being in their same fictional universe. As Indy's world is more or less our own, with some quirks of mysticism and physics, and also is one that inescapably takes place in given periods, the opportunities for such crossovers seem slim.
To take the Captain America example, the rendering of 1930s technology, including the World's Fair, seems to not fit in with what we know of Indy's world. Strangest technology we've met in the films are the flying wing and the jungle cutter.

He's mentioned quite a lot already, though not as though he's a real person...
The Hangover
Thank You for Smoking
What Happens in Vegas
Notting Hill
Marvin's Room
...of course Fanboys.
If you're really intent on bringing him into something as though he were real, I wouldn't mind seeing old Indy show up on an episode of American Pickers. That would be fun.
A serious reference might be cool in one of the TV shows like Burn Notice or any Mission Impossible-esque series in terms of some past WWII mission.

So Finn, is that truly the stance you're ging to take here? That since I got the stupid nerdy-ass terminology incorrect, the thread's title and contents deserve to get tarred and feathered? A little petty, don't you think?
Not that this thread got that far off the rails, but it sure seems like that's what you're condoning.

That's a good point. Such cross-overs are often one-off, non-canon events - such as Indy finding the Millennium Falcon in Star Wars Tales#19:
If a story such as that became canon it raises all sorts of questions - the "risk" that you mentioned.
That's why I wrote:

Indy has surfaced in other franchises, but generally, I think, only as a fictional character in that other franchise. He exists because films such as ROTLA exist in those franchises.
That's also why I see this as a fantasy thread. It's a 'what if...?' because as soon as Indy makes a cameo that becomes part of the canon his world expnds to include everything that is canon in the other world. That's where problems of chronologies arise, and such problems already exist within Indy-lore itself!

Ok, I'll take a stab at being serious . . .
there.Alright, having Indy appear in a completely unrelated medium . . . is that what you're asking? Or are you saying he could appear in something similar to his own genre?
So he would be part of an interconnected "adventure serial world", where we could see stories where Tin Tin could run into Indiana Jones to find a McGuffin etc.(?)
I'm not sure what you mean, that's all.

When Finn first mentioned it, I didn't realize such a cross-over was so popular.
How wrong I was...
Well, the future of Indy is in George's hands.

Thought it best to exorcise the full horror in one go. I don't think we need present any further evidence for the case in hand...
