Ayrun said:While the 3 Indy movies were action/ adventure films, the YIJC are not.
blur said:So you don't think the episodes where Indy duels that biplane on his motorcycle, or the flying episode where he goes up against the Red Baron, or the one where he takes Beersheba with the Australian Light Horse weren't action?!? Man, you're hard to please!
Indy Benson said:I disagree...there is plenty of action in the Young Indy series. In addition to what Blur has already posted:
-How about escaping from a German POW castle?
-Treasure of the Peacock's Eye?
-Battling Dracula?
Ayrun said:Three episodes out of.. how many were there? 22?
No, in my eyes that doesn't compare to the almost non-stop action in the 3 Indy movies, sorry.
But the bottom-line is; the YIJC don't compare action-wise to the non-stop action there was in the 3 Indy movies.
If you like the movies, you don't necessarily like the YIJC

Chattar Lal said:What the hell is wrong with Ayrun?
Ayrun said:No, rephrase that; what the hell is wrong with you?
Is it so difficult to actually read my posts and understand them?
I said you can't compare the Indy movies and the YIJC...
If they were the same all Indy fans would like the YIJC. But they don't. And that's a fact.
Besides; I've seen oganga. There's no way action-wise you can compare that to Raiders, TOD or LC.
But talking to a wall has no use, so this is the end of my speech.
If you have any further problems with me; use the pm option.

The beauty of a series is that you can do a variety of things. There was a lot of action in the series, but many fans discount it because it can't compare to the movies. There was comedy, war, drama, romance, mystery.
People who hold that Indiana Jones is only about a gritty, worldly archaeologist who has non-stop action-packed adventures (as seen in the trilogy) won't like Young Indy. The series expanded him beyond his cinematic origin as an action movie character, and in explaining some of his background, removed some of the mystery.
Some people don't like that. Personally, I love it!
