Vance said:What's wrong with the guy who gave him the Fedora being Abner? It would certainly explain a LOT of things... and, since Abner's identity STILL isn't confirmed as of CS (and therefore would likely never be in film)... why NOT?
I had the subtitles on last week when I was watching my 2003 2.35:1 OAR DVD of Last Crusade and Fedora's called "Garth".Attila the Professor said:Well, this really isn't the place to have this conversation, but among other things, Marion would have kidded Indy to no end about his copying her father's manner of dress and Abner Ravenwood just doesn't seem remotely to be that sort of unscrupulous figure. He was Indy's mentor, yes, but the few hints we get suggest he was one of his better angels; Fedora had some sort of honor, yes, but I don't expect to see Abner digging for the Cross of Coronado at a private collector's behest with a motley crew of ruffians helping him. But your mileage may vary.
At any rate, the link I posted and from which Vance quoted is the first I've heard of Wave 4. Lovely. Curious...theraider.net notes that Wave 3 is coming in September and Wave 4 in July, although I suspect that's on false analogy with when the LC and ToD action figures are released.
