For the record, I still strongly believe that every film after 'Raiders' was lacking something artistically and creatively. What I can't stand is a fan who can't find a single flaw in something.
I admit that I could be a fan to be perfectly content with Temple and Crusade and not find a flaw in either one.
But if I were to find a flaw, for Temple I would say that I would have liked Willie to be able to strut her stuff a bit more, meaning that contrary to what a lot of people think, I think she's got a lot of strength of character and I would have liked to see this part of her played up more than the comedy. Although I do love the comedy and think the script has a lot of it to lighten the darker themes.
My only complaint on Crusade would be that I would have liked Elsa to survive.
Back to the original topic, as I thought about it, I realized that I wasn't happy with the wedding because even though I do like Marion and liked her and Indy as a team/couple in Raiders, I never got the impression beyond that film that Marion was his one true love or that he was pining for her.
And it felt to me like they were just thrown back together in Skull , perhaps if there would have been more time to develop it, which I understand why there wasn't, I could have liked it better.
I know Indy says that his other relationships didn't work because the women weren't Marion, but I feel like that fits better for how the audience felt about Indy's leading ladies over how he himself really would have felt.
All I know is, he didn't seem to mind that Elsa wasn't Marion.
