Indiana Jones on the Pelham 123
Don't give them any ideas Ed!
This is what happens when studios get so "franchisey" they can't see what a series really is and means to people. I mean we all love Harrison Ford but Indiana Jones isn't and has never been about deep character development and "franchise lore". It's simply thrills, straight adventure out of the 1930s, etc. That's the core of what made Raiders successful.
Disney looks at this series and thinks you can remove all of that...Spielberg and Lucas too...and so long as Ford is there that it doesn't matter about the aesthetics, the storytelling, etc. as the era is so far divorced from what it was that it doesn't even resemble what came before. It's an odd calculus to make in terms of a series that is not built on vast character development but a homage to movies Disney doesn't want to acknowledge.
What they are giving us is a modern effects filled assembly line outing from Disney corporate. That's entirely what it is and will be. If you like that kind of thing, Ant Man 3 and all, then maybe it's for you.
