By strong, perfect, british brunette I assume you mean Chewbacca

[–]ThinLengthiness3514 371 points372 points  (0 children)

I will never not choose to read this as Chewy instead. XD

[–]Felipeel2 202 points203 points  (4 children)

Don't insult Chewbacca comparing him to a "British woman"

[–]heyoyo10 30 points31 points  (2 children)

Yeah, they wouldn't call him "Chewy" if he had bad dental hygiene

[–]SupahDuk_ 4 points5 points  (1 child)

Little did you know, English dental heigene is actually better than in America. It's just older people who grew up smoking 20 packs a day and refuse to get the dental care.

Yes, I've seen what US food's sugar content does to a mouth, but I'm trying to make a joke here

[–]jontheawesome12 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You’re right, Chewy is way more sophisticated.

[–]TNC_BLOODBATH 40 points41 points  (0 children)

Perfect in the universe so marey sue does hit that mark

[–]Votey123 529 points530 points  (16 children)

Didn’t Harrison Ford refuse to come back unless Han Solo died? Or did I just dream that

[–]somewhatnormalguy 533 points534 points  (15 children)

Ford has been trying to retire from the movie industry for years, he just owns the face of too many iconic characters. That’s why each movie lately is “the last of this character’s adventures.”

[–]Wolfman513 160 points161 points  (0 children)

Meanwhile he signed on the play General Ross in the MCU after William Hurt died

[–]GreenLanturn 95 points96 points  (7 children)

Yet he got involved in two original TV shows in the last couple of years…

[–]OverbiteThe3rd 63 points64 points  (6 children)

And the whole ass MCU

[–]RingtailVT 35 points36 points  (5 children)

Just one movie in the MCU so far. He's not involved with the whole MCU in the same way RDJ or Chris Evans were.

[–]OverbiteThe3rd 32 points33 points  (4 children)

Well yeah but he’s playing a role that is quite large in the comics, so even if he only does one film that’s a lot of baggage

[–]Plastic_Garlic_4188 13 points14 points  (3 children)

Does MCU care about the comics? I thought Wolverine was an Avenger....

[–]Exact_Ad_1215 3 points4 points  (0 children)

As a fan of the comics, I’ll come out and say right now that the MCU doesn’t give a flying fuck about the comics.

[–]GoldenCat823 2 points3 points  (1 child)

No???? Wolverine was never an avenger I’m pretty sure. I could be wrong tho

[–]DevolveOD 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Yes you are wrong.

[–]DigitalRoman486 24 points25 points  (1 child)

He literally hasn't. There is a quote somewhere where he said he loves it and doesn't like being idle. He just doesn't want to be Indy again.

[–]Rezient 6 points7 points  (1 child)

Can't characters be discontinued with a happy ending and them not seeing them die?

I'm p sure it's possible

[–]MonteCrysto31 0 points1 point  (0 children)

At least the last movie proved that with CGI Hollywood will be able to milk his image for years... without bothering the poor man

[–]StaleUnderwear 732 points733 points  (21 children)

No wonder these films suck ass. It’s almost like fans don’t want to see their beloved heroes turned into burnt out, depressed shadows of themselves and be upstaged by some random chick who’s better than them in every way, it’s not “passing on the torch” it’s blatant replacement.

Heck, in the original script Indiana was going to fucking die halfway through his own movie, only for the producers to realise how dogshit of an idea that was.

[–]Talk0bell 168 points169 points  (8 children)

Interesting. It felt like they changed the story half way through while watching it. I liked the movie. It felt like an Indiana Jones movie to me more than the 4th one does.

[–]green_chocolates 142 points143 points  (5 children)

The 4th one was 100% a money grab. Shouldn’t have made more any after the Last Crusade imo

[–]Kosmo_Politik 90 points91 points  (1 child)

Last crusade is the definitive best Indiana

[–]Mrdoc16can't meme 34 points35 points  (0 children)

Best ending as well seemed like the perfect send off to the franchise unfortunately no

[–]Sianic12Breaking EU Laws 27 points28 points  (1 child)

No, that's not true. Indiana Jones isn't a trilogy like Star Wars or Lord of the Rings, where a group of movies tell one big overall story. All Indiana Jones movies work as individual stories that are completely independent from one another. You don't have to watch Raiders and Temple to watch Crusade - the movie works just as well without having seen the first two. They could've easily continued the franchise with a new movie every two years or so. Kind of like they did with James Bond. The grave mistake they made was making a new movie 20 to 30 fucking years later, after everyone had grown disconnected to the original movies. Had they written and directed Indy 4 and 5 just two or three years after Indy 3, I guarantee you that those movies wouldn't have been such gigantic failures.

[–]Ranger-of-Astora 5 points6 points  (0 children)

The thing was they were supposed to make more. Steven Spielberg and George Lucas wanted Indie to be their own James Bond. The first three movies all got made in the 80s. In the 90s they even started making some scripts but both Harrison Ford and Steven Spielberg were busy in the 90s. When the early 2000s came along George Lucas was busy with the prequels. This Crystal Skull didn't happen until 2008.

Had movies been made in the 90s and the early 2000s crystal skull might have ended up being the 7th or 8th movie. Had this been the case I honestly don't think it would have had as bad a rap as it got.

[–]ooqq 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You wrong. They should have done a fourth. Back in the 90's. With a perfect script and young actors. called "Indiana Jones and The Fate of Atlantis". And it would be as good as The Last Crusade.

[–]TheEternalSun433 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Crystal Skull made nearly triple the amount opening week than this flop 🤣

    And its almost always because Harrison Ford wants to move on and nobody leaves him alone. Guy just wants to retire and everyone keeps asking him to come back and he is pissed off about it. I honestly don’t think he knows how to say no considering how much he does this.

    [–]someguyfromtheuk 13 points14 points  (0 children)

    I imagine he says no and they keep increasing the money until he says yes.

    He made $25m from the 7th film, ~10% of his net worth.

      Wow, you’ve read the original script? Or do you just believe any bullshit you read online?

      Karen Allen (Marion) has said that the ending of the film was never changed

      [–]Zigad0x 0 points1 point  (0 children)

      Doomcock was right

      [–]AliceTheMagicQueen 183 points184 points  (8 children)

      Ford is 80 years old... Hard to make him a main action hero like he was 40 years ago

      [–]KakashiTheRanger 86 points87 points  (4 children)

      I don’t know if that’s true; but the creative vision is definitely lacking. They could have used his age as a way to portray what he learned.

      Write him as a clever and experienced character that mows through guys because he’s already been in that situation before and finds it incredibly predictable with a slight annoyance the bad guys “always do the same stupid shit.”

      Trying to consistently make him the underdog is the core of the problem with most “comeback movies” like the new Indiana Jones where heroes reprise their roles.

      We as an audience have already seen those characters work their way to the top in the previous films. If they have nothing to show for it in the next installment it doesn’t matter.

      [–]Mediocre_Scott 21 points22 points  (0 children)

      You are right that that would have been a better movie however being the underdog is what makes Indy’s character. He is a man constantly in over his head

      [–]Autumn1eaves 9 points10 points  (0 children)

      I mean they didn’t do that exactly, but they did that a little bit in Dial of Destiny.

      There were many things that happened because Indy knew someone from some old adventure that we didn’t see, and he has knowledge that the other main characters don’t have because of his experience.

      [–]Haunting-Cold5196Dark Mode Elitist 4 points5 points  (0 children)

      I could see Indy in a situation where he walks into a temple or something, finishes an entire side story, and walks away with whatever he's looking for saying "They always do the same shit." It fits his edgy character from the first movie and would fit even better with a more experienced Jones.

      [–]TheEternalSun433 -5 points-4 points  (0 children)

      Holy fuck this idea sounds like garbage. You like M*rvel movies don’t you?

      Tbh, Indy’s god daughter was a terrible person for most of the movie and I think (hope?) that was the intention, so I wouldn’t exactly call her strong and perfect

      [–]nerdmanjones 42 points43 points  (0 children)

      I saw Indy 5 the other day. Obviously, it was never going to hold a torch to some of the other ones, but I enjoyed it.

      Also, while there is an argument to be had about whether or not this movie should exist considering the originals came out 40 years ago, at least it was a better finale than the one Star Wars got.

      [–]MoeMcLester 8 points9 points  (1 child)

      Honestly not as bad as people are making it out to be. Although I recently watched the other ones for the first time, so I might not have the connection to the movies that many have.

      It's great fun, not a masterpiece by any means, but it keeps you entertained.

      [–]OhMyLordShesACactus1 12 points13 points  (1 child)

      Go see it. You won’t be disappointed. The movie was great fun. Hell, John Williams’ score was reason enough to go see it. Still can give you chills!

      The movie was satisfying and way better than Crystal Skull. Take it for what it is: A fun action movie where Indiana Jones kicks ass and you’re just stuck smiling because how bizarre all the chases and action are.

      [–]Eli_The_Rainwing 4 points5 points  (0 children)

      That’s what I will go into thinking

      [–]Time-Schedule4240 5 points6 points  (2 children)

      I have no interest and don't like the people behind this movie, so I won't be seeing it. However, a less opinionated friend saw it and liked it, so go ahead and enjoy it if you can. I actually like the Crystal Skull, but I understand if other people dont

      [–]indigokiddband 1 point2 points  (1 child)

      I personally didn’t like Crystal Skull, but did enjoy Dial of Destiny. It’s not a bad movie.

      [–]kPomly 93 points94 points  (24 children)

      Did most people see Phoebe Waller-Bridge’s character as a “strong, perfect woman”? That just confuses me. I saw a broken and traumatized character that was exemplifying all the wrong parts of “toxic masculinity”. Her father neglected her for his crazy theories, her other father figured abandoned her, she had to grow up too fast and take care of herself. Hence her misguided belief in money and her (to me very clearly false) bravado. She was trying to be an asshole, because many people falsely believe that is how you show “strength”.

      [–]Rbespinosa13 52 points53 points  (3 children)

      Second this. She’s obviously gone through a lot of shit in her life and is a legitimate criminal. Not even mentioning that it’s pretty clear that she has issues trusting others and pushes them away. There’s literally an entire scene where she’s running away from her ex-fiancé (yes he was lovestruck and threatening to kill her, but she had already sold the ring and cutoff contact before this interaction). The only person she has a legitimate relationship with before the movie is Teddy, another street orphan who has no one else to turn to. Like I have issues with Rey mainly because I feel like the writing of the sequels did her dirty, but Helena is actually a well written character.

      [–]LeChiffre395 25 points26 points  (2 children)

      Finally, someone who actually paid attention to the movie.

      [–]Rbespinosa13 22 points23 points  (0 children)

      Yah she also still needs Indy’s help throughout the movie. He was the one that recognized how to stop the methane trap in Archimedes’ tomb. He’s the one that realized the wax had to be melted to reveal where the tomb was and he was the only reason Helen could even get that thing. She’s actually written well for the most part

      [–]Paid-Not-Payed-Bot 0 points1 point  (0 children)

      who actually paid attention to

      FTFY.

      Although payed exists (the reason why autocorrection didn't help you), it is only correct in:

      • Nautical context, when it means to paint a surface, or to cover with something like tar or resin in order to make it waterproof or corrosion-resistant. The deck is yet to be payed.

      • Payed out when letting strings, cables or ropes out, by slacking them. The rope is payed out! You can pull now.

      Unfortunately, I was unable to find nautical or rope-related words in your comment.

      Beep, boop, I'm a bot

      [–]TheEternalSun433 3 points4 points  (6 children)

      Nah she was just a asshole

      [–]DaEpicNess666 17 points18 points  (0 children)

      She is a very clearly flawed character and Indy is obviously the one taking the lead throughout the entire movie, anyone saying the opposite either hasn’t seen the movie or they are purposely spreading bullshit because they think the movie is woke simply because the female lead isn’t some ditzy bimbo swooning over Indy (not that the other female leads have ever been that but that’s clearly what these Neanderthals want)

      [–]WordSmith287 -1 points0 points  (9 children)

      Stop. Indy didn’t abandon her. She did not exist before this movie. The character did not exist for Indy to abandon before the studio decided she needed to. You cannot just invent a new objective the character has already failed in order to make someone a failure. That’s stupid.

      [–]Flaturated 5 points6 points  (5 children)

      So does that mean that Indy didn't abandon Marion 10 years before Raiders of the Lost Ark because she didn't exist until we see her in the drinking contest at the bar in Nepal?

      [–]WordSmith287 -2 points-1 points  (4 children)

      Pretty much. That’s another example of not great writing. The first three movies are far better than the rest, but they’re not perfect. In Last Crusade, they at least do a brief segment to explain why his relationship with his father is difficult, but Indy also never once hesitated to leap to his father’s defense, or save him from trouble. Helena basically tries to get Indy killed on three separate occasions. She’s vile.

      [–]kPomly -3 points-2 points  (2 children)

      What are you on about??? None of the characters existed until they created them. That’s how writing works. None of them are real.

      [–]WordSmith287 -4 points-3 points  (1 child)

      What I’m saying is she did not exist in continuity for Indy to abandon. It’s fine to introduce new characters, obviously, but don’t introduce new characters for the purpose of making older characters worse people. It’s lazy, it’s unearned, and it’s especially scummy when you aren’t even the original IP holder. If you’re going to introduce a new character with a connection to an existing one, do not immediately turn around and say the older character failed to meet the obligation that comes with that connection. Do you understand what I am saying?

      [–]kPomly 0 points1 point  (0 children)

      I agree that shoe-horning the characters in the way they did felt very forced. I honestly thought Toby Smith’s character was a recast Marcus Brody and she was Marcus’ daughter.

      But I wasn’t judging Indy. I was speaking to the OP claiming Helena was a “strong, perfect, British woman”, which is not how her character was written or portrayed (in my opinion). From Indy’s perspective, he distanced himself from a troubled colleague. It’s not like he was that upset about what happened to her (some mild guilt but not as much about his kid, which was sho-horned in that exact same way in the previous movie).

      BUT… from HER perspective, she felt abandoned by two different father figures in her life at an early age. That can be traumatic for a child and can lead to issues later in life (as in, her being an asshole).

      So yes, I agree it was a stupid writing troupe and the characters felt shoe-horned, but my original point is strictly about the Helena character, not Indy.

      [–]ClarkK24Average r/memes enjoyer 0 points1 point  (0 children)

      [–]SourPuss6969 75 points76 points  (20 children)

      The final act of dial of destiny was a little out there for me but i felt like there was actually some closure in the final scene though?

      I feel like a lot of you guys havent seen it and are just complaining because thats what the internet told you to do

      [–]BulldogWarrior76Average r/memes enjoyer 46 points47 points  (6 children)

      No.

      There was closure in The Last Crusade, as Indy, his dad and his friends rode off into the sunset. They could have ended it there, and should have ended it there.

      There was closure in the Crystal Skull. Indy and Marion are married, Indy is bonding with his son who might become the next Indy. They could have ended it there, and should have.

      But this one has to go and overwrite everything from the last movie.

      Mutt looks to take over? Nope, he died in Vietnam, despite the fact that it's 10 or more years between KotCS and Vietnam, meaning Mutt would be in his late 20's or early 30's. Even if he did enlist, he wouldn't be sent off to Vietnam. They wanted young guys.

      Indy and Marion married? Nope, they split off after Mutt died.

      [–]le75 12 points13 points  (4 children)

      KotCS is set in 1957, and Mutt could have died in Vietnam anytime after 1959, when the first U.S. troops were killed in the county. The Vietnam War didn’t start in 1967.

      Even so, it’s not unheard of for people in their late 20s or early 30s to enlist.

      [–]Ofnir_1 4 points5 points  (0 children)

      When I was at AF basic my brother flight had a guy who was pushing 40. We have some lower ranking guys who look like they could be another airman's father

      [–]BulldogWarrior76Average r/memes enjoyer 2 points3 points  (2 children)

      Mutt could have died in Vietnam anytime after 1959, when the first U.S. troops were killed in the county

      True. But, those were US advisors. They weren't "boots on the ground grunts", they were technical advisors and officers.

      The first combat troops didn't come in until 1965.

      And I never said that older people don't enlist. Just that an older person like Mutt enlisting is a lot less likely to be sent to Vietnam than the mass conscripted teenagers.

      [–]le75 0 points1 point  (1 child)

      It’s still in the realm of possibility. Also, it isn’t explicitly said that Mutt died in Vietnam

        I’m a conservative and from a lot of the conservative media and talking heads I’ve heard about how lame and woke it is. So my expectations were prepared for some Kathleen Kennedy weird Indiana Jones has blue hair and becomes a feminist scenario.

        A black woman calls a literal Nazi a cracker and they make a joke about capitalism. Where’s all this “woke Disney garbage?” People can’t even define it and they probably didn’t see the film. They just wanted to fuck with Disney because Mickey Mouse is turning your kids into transgenders, forcing you to use pronouns, and scares Ron DeSantis. Lol

        [–]AntEvening3181 1 point2 points  (2 children)

        Exactly. I've seen that sentiment when the movie doesn't force any of that besides a female character that could POTENTIALLY be a future protagonist, but that's enough to set some people off

          Dial of Destiny

          • old : the man is nearly a century, people get old
          • son is gone : because of an actor’s behaviour outside the fiction
          • strong, perfect brunette : unconventionally attractive, consistently gets bailed out, discovers almost nothing on her own, cheats and cons her way through everything
          • just wants to die : on the edge of a historic battle with someone he idolises
          • end of the movie : reunited with a woman he thought he’d lost after defeating evil, preventing history from changing and having his goddaughter back in his life

          I’m all for critiques but this list is mindless. See the movie, make up your own damn minds

          the man is nearly a century, people get old

          Then don’t cast them as the pro tags for an action movie?

          son is gone

          Never even told specifically why he’s gone, just hinted at him dying in ‘Nam.

          Strong, perfect brunette

          Yeah, they really should have left reference to the first movie to a minimum.

          [–]MasterWarChief 4 points5 points  (0 children)

          Him being in the movie wasn't an issue since the story revolved around his family. His boxing match and the amount of action they made his character perform is the issue

          [–]Loon-belt 16 points17 points  (0 children)

          I personally loved Dial of Destiny just as much as the other movies, Harrison’s Ford’s character felt the same as always, just a little bit exaggerated. He never really felt like he wanted to do anything he was doing, he always just had to. And the whole premise was a little bit cartoonish, but it worked if you ask me, and it ended quite well.

          [–]Richizzle439 33 points34 points  (20 children)

          Idk Dial of Destiny was an enjoyable movie. I just think there are too many crybabies in this world who simply can’t enjoy something for the sake of it. Was it a groundbreaking film? No. Was it a fun film that didn’t take itself too seriously? Yes.

          [–]somewhatnormalguy 23 points24 points  (0 children)

          Agreed, the movie was a lot better than I thought it would be, and even ends with him retiring happily, as opposed to retiring miserably at the beginning of the movie

          [–]ReturnOk4Підтримуйте Україну 5 points6 points  (0 children)

          It was definitely a lot better than people make it seem, though. I felt like it delivered the right amount of closure

          to defend Indie as someone who watched Dial of Destiny, im pretty sure him being with his wife at the end is probably better than the previous movie, which i havent watched yet

          ​

          yes i know full damn well its a meme, im just pointing something iut

          [–]AeroAviation 8 points9 points  (2 children)

          This is a disingenuous take, you're either part of the bs hate campaign or straight up haven't seen the film

          I pirated it. Fucking sucked lmao. Crystal skull was better.

          After learning about Harrison Ford and how he defended Roman Polanski I couldn't care less about how far down he falls.

          To be fair, "Just wants to die" and "Too old for this shit" is basically just Harrison Ford's default setting nowadays.

          [–]potatoisilluminatiRageFace Against the Machine 1 point2 points  (0 children)

          Honestly I really enjoyed Dial of Destiny and Crystal Skull (my favorite one) and if I remember right he really likes playing Indy and although he's old he was still sad that the role was coming to an end.

          [–]Different_Dig340 1 point2 points  (0 children)

          Harrison Ford wanted to die for star wars as he said he was done with his character I believe so at least he didn't get wrapped up in the next to sequels

          [–]AntEvening3181 4 points5 points  (0 children)

          The girl in Dial of Destiny was not perfect. She didn't have Indy's morals, wasn't as good a fighter, wasn't as well connected, and still wasn't as good an archeologist. I think they meant to set up the new character up with enough flaws that could be resolved over the course of sequels.

          [–]Educational-Year3146 3 points4 points  (0 children)

          Harrison Ford went from playing god tier chad roles to playing some of the saddest characters ive seen written.

          Man doesnt deserve this.

          [–]Someone-Something02 -4 points-3 points  (0 children)

          This is sad, to think it went from the best movie (the lost ark) to a dumpster fire of greed. Very sad

          Kathleen Kennedy & ruining beloved characters, there is no more iconic combo.

          [–]IceRanger51 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

          Dial of destiny isn’t a perfect movie, nor is it the best Indy movie. But it is way better than Temple of Doom and Crystal Skull combined. 3rd best Indy movie imo.

          [–]dreadwater -1 points0 points  (0 children)

          Harrison Ford is one of my favorite actors

          [–]Summerclaw -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

          Blame Harrison Ford for wanting his characters to be more like his real life fame. Why the fuck are you do grumpy for? You are a millionaire

          [–]_JR28_ -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

          Kathleen Kennedy just really hates Harrison Ford, everything else was collateral damage

          [–]littlebuett -1 points0 points  (2 children)

          A. Nothing is "perfect" about the girl in dial, she's arrogant and not a good person, and fails atleast a few times.

          B. He didn't end worse, he doesn't have Shia as his son anymore

          [–]OneTurnsToNoneRoyal Shitposter[S] 0 points1 point  (1 child)

          End of Last Crusade: Indy and his father have reunited and come to good terms together, his friends Marcus and Sallah are with him and they ride off into the sunset for more adventures together

          End of Crystal Skull: Indy gets so settle down and marry the girl, he has a son and gets to have a family and live a happy life

          End of Dial of Destiny: Indy is a broken old man who was ready to just die 5 minutes prior, living in a shitty apartment, his son is *DEAD* which he as a character admits he wishes he could have stopped, and his wife was ready to leave him, only showing up because Helena called her.

          [–]Ordinary-Rent1632 -5 points-4 points  (5 children)

          I liked Dial of Destiny. Probably because I've never seen any other Indy movie.

          [–]OverlyExcitedDoggo 4 points5 points  (3 children)

          Then watch the first 3. Raiders and Crusade are by far the best

          [–]Constantine_123 0 points1 point  (2 children)

          I also liked the new movie, tbh im not sure what everyone was expecting. It's better than temple of doom, that's for certain, and in my opinion, if it was released 40 years ago with the original 3, no one would even dare say it was bad. In my opinion, most people here who find it bad do so because they immediately assumed it would be, and they are too focused on being triggered by ridiculously obscure "mistakes" to actually judge it fairly.

          [–]OverlyExcitedDoggo -1 points0 points  (1 child)

          Its a good movie. My 2 complaints are just personal opinions. Harrison Ford is too old for this shit, and the brunette girl is annoying.

          [–]Constantine_123 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

          I actually didn't expect her to be in the movie. She is well known for her role as the protagonist on the tv show "fleabag", it's really good, I get why they chose her for that role, consider watching it its in my opinion one of the best shows I've seen and it's not too long either

          [–]Ordinary-Rent1632 0 points1 point  (0 children)

          Really random thought, but why was Harrison never James Bond? He would’ve been so good.

          [–]ChewySlinky 0 points1 point  (0 children)

          Because he’s not British? Lmao

          And in both movies, they're fighting the remnants of their old enemy trying to bring back the previous regime.

          Indy:

          gets to go out on one last grand adventure and prove himself one last time, make right for not taking care of his goddaughter and wife, and ultimately is given a better send off unlike when we thought the series was really going to end with the crystal skull

          Han Solo:

          shanked

          I think Harrison Ford is playing favorites

          Harrison Ford is rich, though...no one's forcing him to take the roles.

          [–]Wise_Hat_8678 0 points1 point  (0 children)

          Okay, but Lucas didn't want to tell an actor how to play Jones, so he cast Ford. He is Jones haha

          Isn't it indicative of how the USA treats its elderly population? Used up, then ignored.

          I mean, he could of read the script and said nope, but he likes money.

          Its his own fault though, he literally refused to let a new generation take over the role of Indiana Jones, did it to himself imo
