I am hoping they really lean into the Mormonism in this one.

4 Reasons Indiana Jones Is Probably Mormon

Recently, By Common Consent made an argument about why they think Indiana Jones is Mormon, and the evidence is pretty convincing. See for yourself.

Now Cop Land & Ford vs Ferrari are tainted come on man.

[Winter John]

Christ what's he playing, the corpse?

 

[Revolutionary]

That's great, but what about everyone's favorite Indiana Jones™ franchise character, *checks notes* Mutt Williams?

If Mutt is in the movie he's recast.

 

[Hari Seldon]

Grandpa Indy is going to go out with a bang. I'm hyped.

 

[Durien]

A threaded cane!

In a surprise turn of events, Ford will play Gehrman.

 

[Torrent of Pork]

I'm not saying Ford can't continue to act, but he shouldn't reprise this role unless he's more or less a cameo passing the torch.

 

[Ristifer]

Well, I'm pumped. One more time around, even if he is a geezer. Williams is an even older geezer, and I'm just as excited for his score of the movie. Let's go.

The 4th film was poor, but the vibes I'm getting from this one make it sound worse. The rumor that time travel is a major plot point doesn't fill me with confidence.

 

[Avid Reading Horse]

I never saw part 4. Been long enough I figure I never need to watch it. Never heard really anything positive about that movie.

Just you watch, after this one shits the bed even worse you're gonna have the revisionists laud Crystal Skull like they did with the fuckin' Star War prequels

 

[12Goblins]

I think indie 4 fucked me up I haven't been to the movies since

 

[Zeroing]

I am pretty sure they use youth filter and tons of body doubles.

 

[Mobilemofo]

Who the fuck wants to see a 800 year old man in franchise that stopped being interesting in 2009 with the crystal skull crap. Christ..

 

[AV]

I'm sure it's already been posted but this doesn't even deserve me checking

If the spoilers are to be believed, this is going to make Crystal Dull look like a masterpiece. I just hope South Park have another episode about Indy being raped ready to go.

[Mato]

I bet there's going to be either elixir of youth or time travel. Either way, it's sure to disappoint.

 

[Gifmaker]

On the poster, he looks exhausted already from just crossing the bridge, which I guess will sum up his performance in the movie.

I really, really love Indiana Jones, but Ford was hard to watch running down hallways in TFA in 2015. I just can't imagine how he's supposed to perform in this movie. I am not sure if I want this. And I am actually one of the few people who found Indy4 to be tolerable, once you get over the stupid stuff. That movie's problem is that like the first half of it is pretty good, and then it gets just worse and worse and worse and worse and then there's aliens.

 

[IDKFA]

Oh God. I thought the time traveling shit was a rumour. Just saw the set images of Roman soldiers. *smh*.

I know Indiana Jones has always had a fantasy element, but personally I think time travel is jumping the shark. Going way too far.

You might be right. This might make Crystal Skull a masterpiece in comparison.

 

[Insane Metal]

He'll be nearly 80. WTF...

I'll see it anyway but IDK man...

 

[N0S]

I hate old Ford. He's become a charmless, boring, grumpy old man. Don't think I have enjoyed a movie he has been in since the 90s.

BR2049

 

[jonnyp]

BR2049

I found it quite disappointing, but that's probably because the first BR is one of my favorite movies of all time.

Logan is woke?

It kinda is, tbh. A beloved character played by a well known white actor who passes the torch to a younger, non-white (and/or female) character who takes his place? That's all the rage these days (especially in comics), and the subtext is pretty obvious. One might say the casting decision was just a coincidence, but you literally won't find a single example of the opposite in a modern piece of entertainment; these kinds of decisions are made deliberately. People just didn't notice (or pretended not to notice) because the movie was actually good, and didn't beat the audience over the head with it.

I hope there is a elixir that turns him Into a young women. Cindy Jones.

Logan isn't woke in the fucking slightest.

Woke is when a political agenda is made more important than good character and storytelling. There's none of that in Logan. It's a solid, excellently written and acted movie. Just because it has a main female character doesn't make it woke. And X 23 was created nearly twenty years ago

Some of you see this shit in everything these days.

Agreed there

As someone who's anti feminazi/woke I love that movie and didn't see anything feminazi/twitter about the movie

Who the f*ck is Harrison Ford? - todays generation.

 

[MacReady13]

I never saw part 4. Been long enough I figure I never need to watch it. Never heard really anything positive about that movie.

It got pretty positive reviews at release from what I remember. I liked it. Worst of the Indy films but no way near as bad as some internet experts would have you believe.

 

[El Pistolero]

Ford was asked about his role. He said, proudly: "I will be facing the worst 3rd Reich official of them all...Heimer...Alz Heimer"...
In bad taste, sorry...

 

[0neAnd0nly]

As long as he is still wearing Alden 403 Indy boots we good.

 

[Wolfe]

Wow, even before the edit I'm confused at people not getting that post about James Mangold movies lol.

But yeah, no real desire to see 80 year old Ford barely acting after the snoozefest that was crystal skull. Curious to see if I'm wrong and it actually ends up being better.

 

[Ristifer]

Who the fuck wants to see a 800 year old man in franchise that stopped being interesting in 2009 with the crystal skull crap. Christ..

I do. It's not like there's been a string of awful Indy movies. Even if it's terrible, we have 57 annual, milquetoast Marvel movies to fall back on.

 

[Nydius]

It's not like there's been a string of awful Indy movies.

It didn't need a "string" of bad movies to completely kill the franchise. It just needed one: Kingdom of the Crystal Skull. The franchise was already on life support before that came out, a staple of late night syndicated network TV and an entire generation who only knew the movies as "movies my parents like".

Crystal Skull came along and proved the Indiana Jones franchise passed its prime at the end of Last Crusade's credit roll.

Ah yes, the obligatory shitting on Marvel movies.
How original and well thought out. /s

Because crapping on one Indy movie is also insanely original and well thought-out.

 

[FunkMiller]

Kind of bizarre to either criticise or defend Marvel movies in an Indiana Jones thread, given that both franchises are owned by the same hell rodent now. It's all one giant, amorphous blob of corporate mandated entertainment these days.

Joe Biden will be the villain fighting Indiana Jones. The scene will take place on stairs for maximum danger.
