So basically, you want more of a distant sequel in the same vein, where Short Round some new character takes up Indy's mantle for the same kind of adventures?

[(Anonymous)]

No, I want another universe entirely.

You know how each series of Batman movies was different from the one preceding, and each Batman was very clearly Batman, but not the same one? This Indy and classic Indy are too similar for me.

[(Anonymous)]

Ah! That makes sense. Although I'm not really sure what new direction you can take with the Indy archetype, tbh.

[(Anonymous)]

Classic Indy is set in a very particular time period, it could be as easy as setting it forward or backward a few decades (like they did with the Batmans). This one has the distinct look of that particular time period classic Indy though.

[(Anonymous)]

See, to me, being in that period (or, to be more precise, drawing from a very specific period and style of adventure serial) is part of what makes Indiana Jones into Indiana Jones. For instance that's one of the main reasons Crystal Skull doesn't quite work for me. So I'm not sure you could really pull that off and still have it be Indiana Jones.

I'm all in favor of more adventure movies based on other models or subgenres or settings, mind you. Adventure movies are so rad.

[(Anonymous)]

I could see something like 1800s steampunk Indy working. Those do have the same sort of adventure feel.

[(Anonymous)]

It's a very different kind of adventure to me. I mean, I would love a well-done late-Victoriana adventure movie that drew on steampunk, but it feels like a totally different style of thing than Indy. It would be really hard to see a way for that to make sense as the same character at all. It's such a different setting and style. They're definitely both very adventure-y but in different ways.

Adventure fiction is so awesome, seriously

[(Anonymous)]

I see them the same way as I see Nolan Batman and Clooney St. Batnipples. Same character, different types of adventure. Personal preference I guess, but I'd rather have the two distinct movies of the same character in different universes than someone trying another version of Nolanverse

[(Anonymous)]

I think Batman is a weird comparison in the sense that comic books intrinsically have a huge element of interpretation. Indiana Jones comes much closer to having a definitive character concept than Batman does.

And, again, I just don't think a Victoriana-steampunk adventurer is ultimately quite the same character as a 30s adventure serial adventurer. It just differs too far for me to see it as a valid interpretation of the character. But that's really just taste, I suppose.

[ozaline]

Actually for me it's the reason why Crystal Skull worked (in spite of a few poor moments), Indiana Jones worked based on a specific period of pulp fiction, and archeological buzz. Nazis, and lost artifacts made sense as the set pieces, and when you bumped it up 20 years it made perfect sense for it to be communists, and aliens.

But I will say I think Indiana Jones has to be somewhere between the 1910s-1970s... because modern archeology is very different then the relic hunting explorer adventures who flourished (At least in the imagination), in that time.

Not that that stops Lara Croft.

http://telusworldofscienceedmonton.ca/exhibits-events/indiana-jones-and-adventure-archaeology <-- I was just at this exhibit last week, it's fantastic.

[(Anonymous)]

But - to me - you can't bump it up 20 years without changing the whole thing. The whole world and the whole style is different twenty years later, and you can't change it wholesale.

I think there probably could be adventures with Communism and aliens, actually, but I think they would have to be integrated into the style of Indiana Jones, and I don't think they were.

[ozaline]

Ah well, Spielberg and Lucas were different people by then, at least it turned out better than the SW Prequels.

And not sure what else they could do but move it up, for someone who drank the elixer of eternal Life, Harrison Ford sure didn't look any younger.

[otakugal15]

If you go by the old tv series, he does age, he just lives a bit longer than normal. And the knight in the movie basically said to keep his "eternal" life, he would have had to say in the cave. Hell, even the knight was aged considerably. I mean, we have to assume when he passed the trials, the knight was still a relatively young man.

[ozaline]

Well the grail couldn't leave the cave, I wasn't clear on the immortality aspect there. As for the knight, well he probably hasn't had a decent meal in hundreds of years, that's gonna age you, there.

[kamino_neko]

I'm not a huge Indiana Jones fan, but I agree with the anon who said it's not Indiana Jones if it's not a pastiche of 40s serials and pulps. I didn't have a problem with The Crystal Skull moving into the 60s, because it was the original Indy moving forward into the tropes he'd have aged into. But rebooting back to a younger Indy? If it's not in the 40s, it's a new character with someone else's name grafted on.

[(Anonymous)]

I think it's a photoshop, not an actual still.

[othellia]

I feel pretty much the same way. Like I don't want an Indy reboot, but it was a thing that had to exist, then AU a la Batman is the way to go.

[(Anonymous)]

That is a terrible idea. Do you actually like Indian Jones because holy shit.

[othellia]

I just said I didn't want a reboot?

But if there HAD TO BE ONE, I'd prefer a different thematic take versus a cookie cutter clone of the original?

Not sure what's so "holy shit" about that sentiment.
