That's what graphic design is for! Plus, the title (and, by extension, mcguffin) are the hook that's supposed to get you interested. Instead it did the opposite. It turned me away more than I already was - and I was already on the fence towards not wanting to see it. The title imho doesn't fit with the old films, and the mcguffin sounds unoriginal and unfitting for the series. Again, imho. You may disagree. And that's fine.
But I'm clearly not the only one dragging their feet; just look at the box office return! This is my favorite film series, and it should have been a smash hit! I'm just as sad that it's failing.
The sheer overwhelming disagreement and groupthink response I've gotten (some borderline hostile/mocking) to a simple opinion is honestly a big turn off too - both for watching the film & using the forum. It doesn't create a friendly atmosphere.
I'm not knocking
anyone who enjoys
anything. But
to me, the title seems bad. The reviews aren't encouraging. And the fandom reaction is almost worse than to anything Star Wars as of late. It's like politics. I doubt tensions will calm until all of this is way in the past & set in stone. And by that point, the Indiana Jones franchise will itself be an artifact.
I wanted to offer an opinion from someone who hasn't seen the film yet - and who dislikes the title. (An opinion that seems uncommon here) I wanted to reach out and discuss. Unfortunately that effort seems completely unappreciated. My apologies.
Maybe if enough of you keep re-watching in theaters you can boost those numbers a bit more. As for me, I'm totally sitting this one out. More seats for you guys!
