I'll make Indiana Jones 6 Short round goes to Vietnam because he hears that a "Henry Jones Jr" is there. Finding Mutt, Indianas son short round asks him to help him find an old artifact. Mutt not wanting to be caught with an Asian man because of the nature of the war fakes his death to help short round find the lost relic. You can have a moment at the end of the film where short round and mutt find Indiana Jones and they have a sentimental moment as mutt tells them about his first independent adventure

Does anyone else think that Fleabag is just repulsive?

The funny thing is, Marion was a strong female character in the first and the fourth movie but still blended in perfectly with Indy without being arrogant and "better" than him

A person who describes themselves as a "brainiac academic about movies" created a character who waltzes into the franchise and brags about their own intelligence and resourcefulness. Braggadocio is really the ultimate demarcation of a total lack of self-awareness, something I think goes over the heads of like 95% of all artists, regardless of the medium.

Yep, at least the propaganda in Crystal Skull seemed comparatively harmless (Russians as mind control agents...well, outside ginning up a boogeyman to start WWIII), but topping that in Dial of Destiny was a combo of anti-capitalism, weaponized feminist abuse of elderly, ethnic (her fake spouse) and underage males, the 'you go girl' get bought off for a buck, the anti-God/Christian 'believe whatever you want' just believe it hard enough motif, all that combined horrid and blatant programming of covert Satanism managed to top even the offensive silliness of a clunky Crystal Skull.

Teddy flying the plane is really good evidence that the "4chan ending" was actually shot. When they switched the time travel destination to ancient Greece they needed a way for Helena to get back (Ending 2 Indy dies as he wishes) They throw in the sleeping dude so the plane can be landed and take off again. The final 3rd ending was the last-minute one with the punch and the Marion ending. (Indy doesn't die in ancient Greece)

I find it surprising how few people were as surprised as me that they would let an 80-year-old Harrison Ford make another Indiana Jones movie. I'd argue with guys online and they just kept saying that he could totally kick their ass and that he goes for a really long bike rides. I was in grade one when the first movie came out for fuck's sake and now I'm 50 years old so to me it's just incredibly stupid to make a movie with him this old

I feel sorry for Mads Mikkelsen. His character was doomed to be an incompetent joke, because there was no way in hell a modern Hollywood studio would make a Naz-zee a compelling, capable, layered, dangerous, or smart villain. Every chance they got, they used his character as a punching bag to prove that the people behind the camera weren’t sympathizers. The director, writers, and the studio behind the film couldn’t help but dunk on him before Indy could even get the chance to face him. How are we the audience supposed to take the villain or any of the movie’s stakes seriously if he’s constantly being embarrassed by the movie itself without the help of Indiana Jones? They should have just used a greedy archeologist, or a seedy businessman… or even a corrupt politician… but no, they went for the low hanging fruit.

I have not seen the movie so really surprised to see how old Harrison Ford sounds and moves!!!!

I disagree about Mutt. Maybe Indy didn't want him to go to war bc Indy himself has PTSD and he knows how bad war can be and Mutt being rebellious decides to enlist anyway

In a perfect world, the Director; Writers; Producers and all the Lucas Film/Disney executives responsible would be bound to chairs, have their eye's pried open like Malcolm McDowell in A Clockwork Orange and they'd be forced to watch every minute of this video.

0:37 did he say he didn't believe in miracles? big difference between magic and miracles. even though they may appear similar on the surface.

it would make more sense if phoebe use the dial to go back and bring mutt back so that jones can see both his son and wife when woke up

Ford deserved better this DoD. Lucas wanting to crowbar aliens into the series delayed the sequels that should have happened in the 90’s if at all.

I can't believe they've got Seth rogen lite as hitmans assistant

Did they ever explain the third piece of the dial?

The movie needs to be and hour half, 2 hours tops. Indiana Jones should NOT have been miserable throughout the whole thing. Mutt could have had a funny cameo instead of being dead. The movie could have opened with a 75 yr old Indy in the water displacement cave but with Short Round, and it just ends with a fun escape. Bring back Sallah for more than 5 minutes, put him in the action alongside Indy. More hand to hand combat with Indy and at least one time where he uses his whip to swing from one platform to another. If they're gonna time travel, they need to be there for more than 5 minutes! Indy, Shorty and Sallah could have had at least 15 to 20 minutes to do some fun stuff in time! End the film on an adventure high note, with Indy actually loving being Indiana Jones! and at the end of this adventure, they get a clue on the location of another artifact and set off for another adventure as the credits roll.

I'm definitely not defending Dial of Destiny but Indy had his eyes closed during the opening of the Ark and didn't witness its supernatural powers but the rest from then on yeah.

I argued, cajoled and begged them not to make this but they went ahead anyway - evidence if ever it was needed that without the Spielberg / Lucas touch these things cannot work.

Funny how people forget... Jones tell Marcus Brody that “I don't believe in magic, a lot of superstitious hocus pocus” because ya know Disney..😅😂

So, I had posted something here originally but admittedly I will say I hadn't finished watching your video, yet. So, now I will just agree with what you said about the reason Indy and Marion actually got divorced being confusing. Was it him being lost in grief or her? The movie does seem to be unsure and I don't know if that was planned or just a continuity issue. Which brings me to a point that I have tried to make in Indiana Jones chat rooms.... for James Mangold to be such a talented director, why are there so many continuity errors that actually are noticeable and affect the plot? Each time I try to discuss these issues in the chat rooms I just get lambasted by people saying..."All the movies had continuity errors... just get over it." And yeah...they did. But it was really just things that didn't affect the plot and most of the time I didn't even notice until it was brought to my attention YEARS later. Like "How did the Brotherhood of the Cruciform Sword" knew Elsa and Indy had escaped the catacombs under the library? Yeah, those are continuity errors. But, the ones in this movie you notice right off the bat and can't really be questioned. Like "How did Voller get hit with that giant metal pipe going 60 miles an hour AND then fall 60 feet off the train and still live to tell about it." Everyone knows that nobody could survive that. And then "how would discount short-round be able to fly a plane when he never has before." And why would Helena even ask if she already knew that? I mean... That was bad dialogue 101 given just for US as the audience to know he had never flown a plane before. Never have a character tell another character something the two of them already know. Anyway, you pretty much mentioned them all here but these are "in your face" continuity errors that a talented director like James Mangold should have noticed. And yes there WERE unbelievable things that happened in the other movies like the ghosts from the arc or Indy's dad getting healed by the grail or just about everything that happened in Temple. But, at least the plot was good and enjoyable and Indy's demeanor made it fun. With this one... the plot was so bad and Indy's behavior being so counter and depressing to the previous movies... it made all these other issues jump out and stare you in the face. I realize there are those that just WANT to like this movie because it's Indy's last hurrah and they have to convince themselves it was good. But, I just don't understand why they have to get so upset and angry at those of us that were brought down by the plot and plot effecting continuity errors. Disney dropped the ball. Mangold dropped the ball. Like it because it's Indy's last hurrah if you want but be willing to accept it was badly made and the writing is horrible.

Would the film have succeeded if it was entirely a de-aged version of Indiana Jones?

I like this film

I'm surprised this doesn't have more likes! Also, i like your way of getting around the copyright flags!😊

I agree with your assessment. What I don't get is Indiana drank from Jesus's cup and then used the cup to save his dad when he was shot. Shouldn't Indiana be immortal or at least able to heal fast. His father (Sean Connery) had more life in him as a character playing Indiana's father at about the same age (he was even sleeping with a young woman) than Indiana had in this movie.

Great analysis, I'm glad you commented on the ludicrousness of the continental drift "twist"! My other beef was that, given Ford's age, the film should have been set 10 years later in 1979 -- he looked way older than 70, and the great contrast between how much Indy and Voller had aged since the prologue was jarring.

It is trying to imply that the Triangles of Ships and Planes are disappearing are also part of the vissures of the time travel???????

It’s not taken out of context. She asks Indy if he thinks the dial has magical powers, to which he says he doesn’t believe in magic at all even though he’s been tortured with voodoo and used the holy grail to prevent his father from dying. He has chalked all of that up to being things that he can’t explain. And keep in mind all of this is set up to convey the theme of the power of belief, which is centered around a device made by some guy.

I thought the Allied bomb sequence was among the most successful of the entire series, and that the time travel idea was not out of line with previous Mc Guffins. I even thought Harrison Ford still carried the character well, and it is the film itself that insists too much on making him old and depressed, completely artificially (much in the way of Luke Skywalker in the sequels). The problem with the time travel is that it is poorly exposed, the event is rushed at the end, and most of the action sequences are stupid and poorly conceived. There is one fair moment of riddle deciphering, but it is ruined by the context of half a dozen totally unnecessary fresh bodies at their feet... Villains can actually feel more formidable by not killing everyone when they don't need to, but this film is simply too stupid to make anything interesting out of them. This is a more general problem with this series, of which I was never a fan, but this one makes Crystal Skull look good, which is saying something.
