There's no way Steven Spielberg ever would've made that film. Not in his DNA. Agree MJ Mutt's "death" and the "Vietnam" lines really didn't belong in this movie. Like I wrote above, should RAIDERS have made us feel like we were watching SCHINDLER'S LIST in order to believe that Nazis were bad? There's a certain distance from reality that marks these movies for being the escapist entertainments that they are. They could've just written Mutt out -- why kill him off? Why make the world so miserable for Indy? I mean they even make it out that he staged a "workplace shooting" in the campus office!

It's so clear they were building up to Indy dying. Marion was gone, Mutt was dead -- seriously can you believe THIS was the story they wanted to make for audiences?
Good on Spielberg for saying "no way" but BOO to Harrison Ford for not at least making them rewrite this garbage. This movie got made because of him, and he didn't need another paycheck at this point. He could've held out to get changes implemented at least.
Again, just shows how out of touch Kathleen Kennedy was -- not only in casting Waller-Bridge (who simply SUCKED, woke lines or not) but deciding THIS was the "good o'l fashioned Indiana Jones sequel" she wanted to make. Really!??
