Do you view KOTCS as a canon entry in the IJ universe? This isn't about what's factually canon or objectively so, but your own personal views.
Hi, Raiders112390. Happy 2013.
Just wanted to point out that this topic is the same as your other thread:
Does anyone pretend KOTCS didn't happen?
Since you're prone to duplicating your own topics (most recently just 2 weeks ago), please take some friendly advice: Eat
blueberries because they help improve memory. The allmighty
egg is good for the brain, too!
From the other thread:

Because you can recognize it as a terrible entry that ruins a lot of aspects of the series and contradicts a lot of things. Indy doesn't act like Indy in this one. The plot is horribly paced; I've no problem with aliens in Indy but the way it was executed was terrible. It contradicted a lot of other great material. To me, the movie happened in another dimension in the Indy-verse.
Curiously, you voted 'yes' in your poll here but in your previous thread, it was the opposite. Even before that you
were including "Skull" in your personal canon so may I ask: Will you be changing your mind on this subject again in the future & will you be starting a new thread about it?

Yeah, I include it, even though it forces an interpretation of the life of Jones that is chockfull of crystal skulls, since typhus never comes in (as I recall) to the McCoy books.
Well, "Temple of Doom" contradicted "Raiders" so forcing interpretations has been par for the course since '84. For me, EVERYTHING is canon (except the LEGO comic strip/s).

If Harrison Ford is in a film directed by Steven Spielberg based on the character created by George Lucas, then automatically no matter how much I dislike many aspects of it, it is in my eyes.
Precisely. Walking out of the theatre with a buddy as teenagers after "Return of the Jedi" on opening day, I kept complaining about the Ewoks & repeating, "That's not Star Wars!".
His consistent reply was, "But it
IS." This was an enlightening moment of Zen.
Naturally, I voted 'yes'
(and so has 100% of everybody else...so far).
