Popular?? Largely anticipated?? It’s projected to earn considerably less than the God-awful Crystal Skull. And that’s without even adjusting for inflation.
Might make $950,000,000? Yea right. It’s critically panned and alienates the fan base. Movie will struggled to make $500,000,000 and will be a commercial flop and loss for Disney.
I just don’t have any faith that it’ll be any better than Crystal Skull, which was awful. Nothing against the new creative direction (minus the choice of Mangold who only has excelled in biopics and two Wolverine movies with strict oversight from Disney/Marvel). Speaking of Mangold, he seemed to be on the defensive early in production and make fun of a podcast group that had reservations about the film due to the people in power behind in ie Kathleen Kennedy.
In my eyes, and I say this as a younger fan, the franchise ended with the last crusade.
“Strong female lead…” a/k/a Indy is the damsel in distress constantly in need of rescuing by a woke, preachy woman who is all powerful. Yawn. Hard pass.
Nice sidestepping answer. People don’t seem concerned with a female character/lead, it’s the words coming out of her mouth. Would it be different if a male character said it…?? I tend to think the people who have a problem with the words don’t care what mouth they come out of. I haven’t read or heard 1 thing about the female character, just the words written in the script that she speaks, which have nothing to do with her as a female or actress or even the character itself. I have ZERO skin in the game, I could care less about words from a movie I have no intention or interest in seeing, but at least man up and stand behind the script your clearly promoting and the words in it. We already get enough BS answers from our politicians.
As much as I believe Harrison Ford to be an excellent actor and movie icon, I’m a Floridian who hopes to never put another penny in Mickey Mouse’s bank account.
When will they learn not to go woke. They should of keeped him and not replace him with her. Its like India Jones meets the cast of The View.
People dont want to see this in films. Star Wars in ruined, MCU, Rings of Power, Gothem Knights DC in general, Thelma and so on. Bring back good movies and TV and stop with the Woke or Go Bud Light and lose money.
Let’s be honest. Indy is not the focus. They want to make a female Indiana Jones. Simple. They know that it’s not going to work. I wonder how long before Disney folds.
I disagree. It would be fine to create a female Indiana Jones. But it won’t work if 1) the character is so perfect that she has no adversity and 2) Indiana Jones has to be neutered at her expense. Disney just cares more about ideology than entertainment nowadays. Big change is needed.
I mean he did steal a bunch of artifacts from indigenous people and uh basically everyone else too.. pretty realistic depiction of archaeologists of the time period though so kudos for that
It seems to me that these woke people idolize “indigenous people as angels”. Woke people are just ignorant when it comes to history. I wish they could travel back in time so that I can send them to the Aztec “Angels” where they can get their hearts ripped out or send them to the Noble Arabic and African kingdoms, where they can be enslaved.
Hit blockbuster Hollywood movies a small number of rich people get richer by making. Audience happy, creators sailing in yachts. A fair exchange if there’s no robbery. People want entertainment in an escapist hit fil. Not the mockery of men in a woke dud like this. That’s capitalism. Is it all one big psy-op to get someone in who says the US is bankrupt? Why mock the heroes they gave us?

“Steal” or discover? Lumping exploration with exploitation is another trick the woke crowd uses to promote more victimhood mentalities. Yawn
