How good is Indy?

Everyone loves a bad guy-
Here are some considerations of Dr. Jones in
light of this...

1) Allows bad relatios with friend Abner to fester
to the point where there can be no amends ie. Abner
dies.

2) Involved in questionable relationship with Abner's
daughter:
Marion: I was a child. I was in love. It was wrong
and you knew it.

Indy: You knew what you were doing.

3) Revels in unofficial licence to kill status: threat to
murder Alison Doody in L.C. 'All i have to do is
squeeze...'

4) Cares for father but did not speak to him for twenty
years (L.C.)

5) Borderline baddie. In R.O.L.A. Belloq admits to our
friend:
'You and I are very much alike. It would take only a
nudge to ... push you out of the light.'

Conclusion? Indy's good but he aint that good...

interesting point. but its the whole thing of bad makes a movie more interesting. can you imagine how boring blues brothers would be if they EVER followed the rules? my point exactly. its why han appeals more than luke.

EDITED TO SAVE MY DIGNITY--THIS REALLY WASNT WHAT I WAS THINKING ABOUT WHEN I READ THE TITLE OF THIS POST HOWEVER.

Yeah but, consider this:

1) Cares about his father, but Henry Sr did not show any interest in his son's life or career

2) Rescues an ENTIRE village with the help of his friends

3) Risks his life to get the Grail and saves his father's life

4) Goes after the Ark on a horse, BY HIMSELF to stop the Nazi's from taking over the WORLD

5) I don't know. I'll think of something else.....


The point I am trying to make is, Indy is not a saint, but his heart is in the right place...



Rules are sometimes meant to be broken


<small>sorry, just had to get that of my chest...</small>

hey, i personally wouldnt mind being in marions shoes even if he did lose abners respect. honestly, its not the worst position i can think of.

sure, indy has crap in his past, but isnt that just being human. if its not, i must be alien. but thats ok, that means i can go flirt with an intergalactic spice smuggler that flies a beat up old freighter and runs around with a walking carpet.

Good, bad, I'm the one with the gun.

Sorry couldn't resist.
