Or, in other words: Indiana Jones isn't a pulp academic with the racist attitudes "of his times," he's a terrible academic in any era and also a mercenary who uses an incoherent racist justification to seek glory or money

I feel like reading Doctor Aphra comics makes this really apparent, she's exactly like him except that she suffers consequences and gets kicked from academia

Similarly, his pederasty isn't actually excused by anyone in his time, which is why his victim sets her bar on fire rather than willingly interact with him, is a self destructive alcoholic, and doesn't actually forgive him even after he helps her survive a Nazi kidnapping

Unfortunately, the end of the movie strongly implies that they end up together, and according to the most recent film they had a kid even if the marriage didn't last. (So, a lot like Han, basically.)

Crystal Skull says they were *going* to get married but then Indy ghosted her a week before the wedding due to his commitment issues, unaware that she was already pregnant She then married another dude (with the last name Williams) so Henry wouldn't grow up a bastard

The stepfather dies in WWII and young Henry ends up a troubled fatherless child anyway and takes on the nickname "Mutt" etc There are parallels to the Star Wars story but Mutt clearly has a much more valid grievance against Indy

Anyway Crystal Skull ends with Indy finally actually marrying Marion and being there for his son, though we'll see if that sticks when they do the sequel

Harrison Ford actually said he was looking forward to doing an Indiana Jones movie where Indy isn't a lone hero with no family for once, circling back to the family themes with Holy Grail But then they officially confirmed Mutt isn't coming back so I dunno

Shia's had a pretty decent year overall, but the problem is that Mutt has Jar Jar levels of unpopularity. When would a fifth movie be set, anyway? 1970? Would Indy be in Vietnam this time?

Yeah nobody seems to have any solid information whatsoever on this movie other than the fact that it's happening because Disney's shareholders demand an ROI on all of the four billion they spent buying out Lucasfilm

Lucas teased the idea that he was working on a big Indy 5 movie to wrap up his story for years and then after the sale the guy Disney put in charge of the Indiana Jones property said they had nothing, there was no story that had been written

Which is weird since Lucas did in fact write substantial materials for Star Wars

Replying to @BootlegGirl @arthur_affect and
I honestly think that the original idea in Crystal Skull really was to tie together IJ with GFFA and that Disney sees that as too risky
