I'm sure this has been discussed here before but what the hell! The discussion on the Indy 4 opening scene thread was turning on to the subject of the bad guys in 4 so I thought it was more proper to start this thread...
Anyway, Temple of John pointed out that the Russians (who I think are likely to crop up in Indy 4 maybe as the bad guys maybe not...) don't invoke the same feelings as the Nazis do. The Nazis were great bad guys... you can do anything to a Nazi and we'll whoop it up 'cause... well Hell he's a NAZI for God's sake!!!
I firmly belive that Indy 4 will be set in the 1950's. Therefore Nazis as we know them would be an impracticle bad guy. However, what I would love to see is some Nazi remenants... a group of SS occultists that fled Germany at the end of World War II with the plan to create the 4th Reich. These guys could have formed a Dark Brotherhood that is well funded (stolen Nazi gold...) and has its own army. They need to find this artefact or sacred place to enable them to re-emerge... Indy gets caught up in it and hey presto we've got Indy 4... WITH NAZIS!!!
I imagine if a scenario like this was played out we'd be dealing with a darker film than Raiders and Crusade... if they were real occult types at least... Nazis running around in dark hooded robes.... evil rituals taking place in ancient gothic chambers.... you get the picture!
As I said I'd love to see this, BUT I doubt Nazis will be involved in any big way as I'm sure people would criticise SS and GL for playing it safe and not doing enough different... but its just an idea...
