So what you're saying is you'd prefer no 4th movie at all, no matter how good it was.
In retrospect, absolutely, because we now know how good it was. And it was pretty awful for trying to live up to what it had to.
You can't say that when Lucas and Steve decided to revive Indy, they didn't try the hardest they could with just about every aspect.
The sad truth is, for them, KotCS is "as good as it was." And that just isn't good enough.
Indy seems to have gotten well stronger, and alot faster in his 60's then he was in his 30s and 40s. He became a super hero to compete with all the other super heroes whoa re pumped out each year. They stripped away his humanity and made him a magical force, like Michael Myers, or Jason, nothing can kill him, not even nuclear weapons.
How do you top that? Do you have him stand in the midst of a Hurricane and survive unscathed, or maybe he can just light himself on fire for warmth in Indy 5.
And I agree, Indiana Jones....Indy riding into the sunset...Perfect.
Indy getting married to a woman he awkwardly got thrown back togeather with evn though they clearly had no more chemistry and she was just excited to be in a movie again for the first time in 20 year or w/e.... not as perfect.
Its like if at the end of Rambo, he joined a monestary to become a monk and renounced violence. I would have rather remembered young Indy kicking ass, and then riding off for m to decide his fate. Now he's just a geriatric who isn't teaching anymore, he's married, he has a kid to take care of.
He isn't Indiana Jones anymore, he's just another regular guy, which is an ok fate, but one I would have rather been able to decide on my own after crusade.
Now how would 5 work? Dos his whole family come along? Aren't 2 back to back films with family enough? Is this National Treasure or the Mummy now? WOuld Marion even let him go on an adventure? How do you end it for good and still make it as epic as a wedding or riding into the sunset? Whats left? His death? OR death and ressurection like the MOnkey King script? So Indy can be just like Jesus and rise from the dead. Thats the only thing I can think of to top the stuff we've seen. Or Mutt taking the mantle. Do you really want either of those, bcuz frankly, I'd rather die a bloody, horrible, slow, torturous death myself.
