People complain that the YIJC is hokey or unbelievable or whatever, but couldn't the same be said for the YIJ sequence in The Last Crusade?
Yes, Indy comes across a lot of famous people in the YIJC--And that's the main unbelievable point.
But in LC's sequence, Indy:
1) Gets his hat
2) Gets his scar
3) Gets his fear of snakes.
4) Learns that a whip can be a useful tool.
5) Gets the inspiration for his future attire completely from one man.
6) Gets the idea of being someone like Fedora and not just a regular archaeologist
All in the span of about 20 minutes or so on the same afternoon.
So couldn't LC's Young Indy sequence, for this reason, be just as "hokey" or unbelievable as the YIJC? I mean if we're going to accept that the entire foundation of who Indy is was formed on an afternoon in 1912, why can't we accept what the YIJC presents? I think that both in terms of real life are just as unlikely.
