Raiders March
I shouldn't have bought that!
Unfortunately for me, the more they churn out this stuff, the more it tarnishes the franchises I love. Indy, SW, Alien, Predator and now even Bond. I get they are series to expand on, but not using the same sh%&*y toilet brush time after time that actually smells bad.Having observed so many attempts to sequelize, reboot, and reimagine every reasonably popular IP under the sun over the years, I have changed my opinion about this somewhat. In times past I would have totally agreed with you. However, good storytelling is good storytelling, and if someone found the right script, the right actors, and the right director to take care of it all I wouldn't be against someone bringing Indy back in some fashion. If they could do what George Miller did with Mad Max or what Villeneuve did with Blade Runner, then that could be awesome.
But the sad reality is that studios don't care about good stories well told, and so we get junk like Dial of Destiny 9/10 times they attempt this. From that perspective I'm in alignment with the opinion that it's better to leave it alone, but there is always a chance. . . Putting that aside, ultimately, they could let Tyler Perry, Paul Feig, and Michael Bay collaborate on the worst Indy excrement imaginable, and it wouldn't hurt my opinion of the first two films if they made. So, power to them to do whatever. They continue to run Star Wars and Marvel into the ground, what makes Indy any more special?
Wow me with something impressive, or otherwise just flush it away!
