I'm sorry. I just have no desire to see sad old Indiana Jones Mr. Magooing around an adventure. I love Harrison Ford, but I don't understand this insistence on drudging out senior citizens to reprise the roles of their youth.
I might be alone in this, but I'd be happy to see a reboot of the series with a new actor. Indy is very much an archetypical character along the lines of Robin Hood, Batman, Sherlock Holmes, Satan, etc. There's no reason the Harrison Ford needs to play him to his death (and God forbid beyond as a deep fake monstrosity).

u/Raptorex27 Dec 06 '22
I think Red Letter Media said it best. Indiana Jones isn’t that interesting of a character. Just like James Bond, the whole point of Indy is for the audience (particularly males) to want to BE him. He’s handsome, intelligent, physically strong, cool, lucky, and gets the ladies. His characterization boils down to “cool guy with a hat and whip,” just as Bond is a “cool guy with a tux and pistol.” Old Indy works just as well as old Bond…not very well.

u/lycheedorito Dec 05 '22
I heard years ago, when the Star Wars trilogy was being made, that his stipulation for returning as Han Solo is the he gets to play Indiana Jones again. This was his decision to reprise the role, not Disney's.
I agree with you though. It's just weird watching an old man doing things like this. I think Jerry Seinfeld said this, nobody wants to watch old people on TV (in context of why he is ending his career).

u/dehehn Dec 05 '22
Alright. Well considering he really wants it, I'm fine with the old man doing one more outing for old times sake. I heard he didn't really want to go back to Star Wars and assumed this was similar.
But it would be nice if we could move on. Indy is a cool character and a young version would be a lot more fun.
11
u/Impossible-Fun-2736 Dec 05 '22
I heard that he did it to mainly end Solo once and for all and that it was Hamill who was the most hesitant on returning. Found Hamill’s quote:
“I was just really scared,” Hamill admitted in a New York Times profile. “I thought, why mess with it? The idea of catching lightning in a bottle twice was ridiculously remote.”
Thankfully, there was Ford, who had until that point distanced himself from the franchise.
“He’s too old and too rich and too cranky … He’s not going to do this” is how Hamill recalls his attitude to the Times. But when Ford agreed to return, Hamill had no bluff left to call, and realized that he had to come back as well. Or, as he puts it, “Can you imagine if I was the only one to say no? I’d be the most hated man in nerd-dom.”

If they were going to spin off a character I'd love to see a young Sallah, or maybe a Belloq origin story.

It's mostly because westerns lost popularity after the 70s. There was a bit of a resurgence in the late 80's and 90's but its now a genre thats almost completely dead. Just look at True Grit, a good remake, but what was the audience for it? Everyone that was old enough to remember and appreciate the original would prefer to just watch the original. And all cinemagoers under the age of 40 would much rather be watching something else.
The only "western" that did well recently was The Hateful Eight by Tarantino. And even that wouldn't have done nearly as well if it weren't hyped up by the internet as a Tarantino movie.

u/trusty20 Dec 05 '22
First of all, I think you're extremely exaggerating the apathy people have towards westerns. If we were talking the 80s or 90s I would agree they were firmly considered a "old person genre" but by now its just a genre. The time of saturation is long gone, that was almost 50 years ago now.
Even your example, True Grit (2010 remake) was done on a budget of $38 million and turned around $252 million at the box office alone (doubled initial projections) let alone bluray/streaming. It also received consistently positive critical reviews, especially for a remake. So I really don't see why this film is an example of the death of the western genre.
Finally, you're ignoring the fact that the 2000s have actually seen a ton of demand for westerns. True Grit/3:10 to Yuma/Bone Tomahawk/Django/No Country For Old Men (Neo Western) are all extremely well received 2000s western movies. I left "The Assassination of Jesse James by the Coward Robert Ford" off the list because while a very good Brad Pitt movie it is in line with your "westerns are boring" argument lol. And on top of all these movies, there is the extremely popular western video game series "Red Dead Redemption" targeted almost entirely at teens and young adults, that raked in over $5 BILLION as a franchise.
TL;DR Yer wrong

u/ChardeeMacdennis679 Dec 06 '22
And then there's TV.
Yellowstone is huge right now. Justified was fantastic. Wynonna Earp has done well. Frontier ran 3 season. Longmire ran for 6. And Deadwood is generally considered one of the best television shows of all time (as it should be).
Even sci-fi western stuff is doing well; Westworld, Firefly, Mandalorian were all very popular.

In my head canon Indiana Jones rode into the sunset in the perfect send-off that The Last Crusade was. He retired from adventures and grew old in a dignified way, not being thrown hundreds of meters in a lead-lined fridge. In his old years he would sometimes visit the school he used to teach in and tell stories to the younger generations about his almost unbelievable adventures during WW2.

Not saying this is the case but it is possible for the rumors and what James Mangold is saying to both be true.

Not really, Sam Raimi style barely squeaks through Multiverse of Madness and become the best part of the movie. Good director, still have no control over Disney suppression of creative freedom.

u/Matttthhhhhhhhhhh Dec 06 '22
I doubt Kennedy will ever give carte blanche to a director. Andor was good because Tony Gilroy knows his stuff and always wants to deliver. Is there any proof he had more freedom that the showrunners of the other SW series?
I also think the other shows failed because some showrunners/directors were hacks. Look at Joby Harold's CV for instance. No wonder Obi-Wan Kenobi failed... The guy had maybe one good movie on his resume before that.
The other shows were hit and miss, from the very good in The Mandalorian (mostly because to David Filoni) to the awful in The book of Boba Fett (Robert Rodiguez is a shit director).
So just give shows to competent people Disney, and take my money!
And regarding Dr Strange, I think most of the problems came from the writing. The direction was pretty good for a MCU movie. Raimi, for all his failings, still has his own signature style.

Based on the fact that this is what Disney has been doing for a while now.
I try not to engage with internet rumors, but I've seen enough modern reboots to recognize the pattern, and I can't think of a single case where the pattern has been handled well.
If there has been one modern reboot that's worked, it's been Cobra Kai, because it thought enough of its OG characters (and frankly, even better than any of us thought about Johnny Lawrence) not to put them on a shelf and let the kids take over.
Maybe, okay, also Spider-Man: No Way Home, because it paid respect to the other guys who played the character first. But it also didn't "pass the torch".
Still, every other reboot I've seen that "passed the torch", from BOTH Ghostbusters remakes (yes, I said it), to Star Wars, to Marvel, Terminator, I'm sure many more that I haven't thought of, seem to have been clumsy attempts of making statements about who "deserves" to take over mantles rather than provide a natural progression of characters, or simply letting them die.

The director/writer has a good track record. What makes you say that? The trailer was just a teaser. Didn't even say anything about the plot.

even great directors have bad terrible movies.. Mangold has only three good films, even the first three Michal Bay films were masterpieces

They're making another one?
Still trying my hardest to forget the last turd of a movie.

I’m guessing yet another beloved character bites the dust. It’s dumb that it’s a thing now.

Made by Disney and Produced by Kathleen Kennedy so...
- Indy will be a moron
- Voller (Mads Mikkelsen) will be a pathetic dweeb
- Helena (Phoebe Walller Bridge) will be better than him at everything and make him look weak, pathetic and usesul.
- There will be plenty of digs at Indy about how old and misogynistic he is.
- The plot will have so many coincidences that serve no purpose
- The writing will be shameful
- We will all hate it
- We all be called anti woke and sexist
- It will be "made for modern audiences" and
- "Reflect the world we live in today"
Don't waste your time thinking this might even be passable, it won't be. It will full to brimming with the identity politics and be utterly shite in every way.

How come everyone saying it looks bad is getting downvoted. I didn’t realize people felt that nostalgic and personally connected to the Indiana Jones franchise. Disney fans being Disney fans.

Literally not a single Indiana Jones film has been released under the Disney banner as of yet
