Not necessarily.
While the 3 Indy movies were action/ adventure films, the YIJC are not.
The Young Indy movies are about Indy growing up and learning from meeting famous people and getting into more or less important historical situations, and stuff.
They're rather educational.

Educational, but still very good.
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!

Re: Re: Young Indiana
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!

I liked the mistery of the blues the best.
in the beginning and in the end they had a great actor. Who was he? ( like I dont know)
In the chase scene they had the same music as the truck chase in Raiders.

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 yeah, it's true; there is a bit of action in it - once in a while ? but the YIJC aren't about that. They are about Indy growing up.

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?

Come on?
There are about 22 episodes of Young Indy.
And yeah, there are episodes with action in it?
But the bottom-line is; the YIJC don't compare action-wise to the non-stop action there was in the 3 Indy movies.
And I'm not saying there is anything wrong with that..
I'm only saying there's a difference between the Indy movies and the YIJC.
If you like the movies, you don't necessarily like the YIJC.

Hmm?
And I was under the impression you were trying to avoid the point I was making.
I wrote?
Can you honestly prove me wrong here?
Besides; the question was if one would like the YIJC if one likes the 3 Indy movies.
And the answer is: No, not necessarily. They don't have the same formula.

For some. For me, I happen to like both the movies and the series. I could probably lay out some more examples of action in the Young Indy series, but the series has to have some slow times, too.
Did you expect Indy to be wearing his whip and fedora at his birth?

Saw my first Young Indy today - Ogana giver and taker of life. I thought it was brilliant. Are the other adventures as good as this one; if so can you get them on DVD?
What the hell is wrong with Ayrun?

I went searching for RotLA:SE under google and didn't find much. At least young Indy on DVD will keep me busy...

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.

I'm with you. Personally, YIJ has some of the best moments for the character and his background, that just make him that much more of a character and a hero.
