Raiders of the Lost Ark: Nazis wanting the Covenant because they believe it to be a superweapon to communicate with GodTemple of Doom: Hindu human sacrifice wanting to rid India of the British and destroy the Abrahamic Faiths with some stonesThe Last Crusade: Nazis wanting the Holy Grail to achieve immortality
>>218209311Temple of Doom actually tried to do something different, Last Crusade is a straight up remake of Raiders only way more retarded and soulless
>>218209311Temple of Doom is a prequel.
World War Two hadn't started yet
>>218209336The Nazis were in power in 1935
>>218209404Okay? He would have not given a fuck by that point.
>>218209327Last Crusade is a chronological sequel to Raiders.
>>218209435And? You can still portray Hitler and the Nazis as still wanting powerful artifacts in 1935. These are fictional films involving lost artifacts where said lost artifacts having magical powers.I'm not saying the Nazis should be in Temple of Doom, I'm just saying that your explanation is sort of dumb. Hell, the Nazis shouldn't have been the villains in the third film. I don't know what the villains should have been, but definitely something different.
>>218209311The Soviets in Crystal Skull were underrated villains. That entire movie is underrated though.
>>218209514The villains for the third film should have been the french
>>218209520Crystal Skull is fine from what I've watched so far. Most unbelievable for me is Indy surviving in the fridge. Unless that fridge has THICK lead lining, Indy should be fucking dead.
>>218209542Or the Italians. They did participate in World Wars 2 on the side of the Axis after all
>>218209561The fridge and the monkeys are the worst parts of the movie, but everything else ranges from good to great
>>218209659If you could do a minor rewrite, how would you write Indy surviving the nuclear blast?
>>218209762An underground bunker in one of the houses used for bomb testing i guess. Im sure the US army ran all kinds of test to find the best way to build bomb bunkers.
Raiders > Temple > Crusade > Skull
>>218209868Rage b8Skull is above temple
>>218209937Ill have to rewatch it. I remember it not being that bad. Alien thing was a little weird but aside from that movie was fineEven the atomic bomb fridge deal didnt bother me
>>218210113What did bother you then?
>>218209868I take it that you are excluding Dial of Destiny for obvious reasons, correct?
>>218210283Indiana Jones and Aliens. I dont know. Probably sounds dumb given there are super natural occurrences in the other movies, but Indiana Jones and super natural artifacts is kinda the motif for the seriesIndiana Jones meets aliens just seems like a weird choice for a movie instead of a new artifact
>>218209311Spielberg and Lucas grew up on movies like Gunga din, that's why they wanted to make a movie like it (Temple of Doom).https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0031398/
>>218210406I think if the aliens didnt look like roswell aliens, and they didnt fly away in a shiny ufo it would've been fine. Just make them look more mesoamerican or something.I believe the thought process was "its Indiana Jones in the 50s, so instead of 30s pulp adventures let's have him go on a 50s pulp adventure" so we got nuclear bombs, commies and aliens. It couldve been worse though because i heard Lucas wanted giant mutant ants but settled for the man eating ants in the movie.
>>218209404They didn't even have an army in 1935
>>218211689The Nazis were building an army in secret
>>218210406Aliens are believable to me because of the simple facts that1) life existed before the existence of oxygen, so therefore there could be life on planets that don't have them2) We live on a planet that can sustain life, so there are probably planets that can sustain life as wellWhether aliens have spacefaring technology and visited us in the past is the part that's debatable to me.
