Indiana Jones will always be a trilogy to anyone who grew up on those movies. I introduced Indiana Jones to my 10 year old recently and we moved on after The Last Crusade because as far as I’m concerned that was the last Indy film.
I think it will always be a trilogy to everyone. You think ANYONE is rewatching these new films? Or watching them at all? No one is showing their kids Kingdom of The Crystal Skull.
It isn’t about how you’re concerned tho. All of the films are canon, and if you disagree then you’re just coping/in denial. There’s therapists for that. Take your son with you. You can both grow up together.
thats how i feel. after LAST CRUSADE, it was over. come on.. LAST crusade? it's done! crystal skull wasnt horrible... but it was boring. this new one i wont touch. the games werent any better years back lol. the arcade game was kinda good. the nintendo game sucked. the super nintendo trilogy of movies rolled into 1 game was pretty ok though. i just bought the trilogy's posters and put'em on my walls. but.. i still wont go see #5. nope. they're purposely, i believe, ruining movies now. also, seems to me, they're gettin rid of all the white male characters. in movies.. AND games now im noticing. oh, there was a pc game years back, he was in china, it was really good! they were to make a new game but.. never turned up. also, for those not in the know, indiana jones was a 25 chapter story. believe it or not, temple of doom comes BEFORE raiders! temple of doom is chapter 23, raiders is chapter 24, last crusade is chapter 25 AND the last chapter. so, indiana jones ended at last crusade. dont give a damn who agrees or pretends cyrstal skull and dial of dookie is "canon" - it isnt.
Indiana Jones was my childhood. Back in the day, I bought a custom fedora from the same hatter who made the hats for the Crystal Skull. I am just so sad about what is happening with the franchise, I can barely put it into words
Harrison Ford is at the end of his life and I’d have to imagine he just isn’t all there anymore, or he just wanted to feel one last time what it felt like to be on screen again. Wishes of a slowly dying old man… I would feel so shitty about being the third wheel in a franchise that I originally stared and headlined in.
@@Someguy6571 From the few interviews he does, he sounds like he likes (liked) Indiana Jones much more than Han Solo to begin with. He's an archeology enthusiast and whatnot. It seems he just did the film knowing that it was going to be his last appearance as IJ. Shame the director and producers put a shitty end to an iconic series.
Although I liked the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull, how can it be seen as part of the franchise If nobody decided to go with the idea of Indy having a son to follow his footsteps.
I am one of the weirdos that liked Kingdom of the Crystal Skull despite its shortcomings. Seeing Indie pick up the hat at the end with a smug smile on his lips made me feel like "Nah, you are not the next, Kiddo... Yet." It made me hope that we get maybe a father son type of deal going similar to Indie and his dad in the next movie. Maybe not with Shia but a different Actor. Hell maybe even Shia, who cares. The dude can act, he just needs good direction. It could have been such a natural way for things to flow since Crystal Skull already set up that Indie had a natural successor by simple Biology alone. But noooo instead they gotta make it a completely new character. Not even the perhaps in-law of the son. No some completely new god damn character. Best Money I never spent Best 2 hours I never wasted
@@NotAfraid280 Even if you liked it better than Crystalskull, which hey if you did im glad you had fun, you cant deny that this isnt a true to form Indie Movie.
As far as I’m concerned, the franchise finished when Indy, Indy Sr, Marcus & Sallah rode off into the sunset, closing off one of the greatest trilogies of all time.
Yeah, but Marion had to be brought back. I can't imagine why they didn't keep her for the whole series. Wasn't Lucas in a romance with the forgettable blonde in the third one?
@@mq1712 They made Temple of Doom a prequel so they could have Indy with a different girl and avoid the question of "Where's Marion"? Don't know why she wasn't in Last Crusade, though. Spielberg ended up marrying the blonde actress from Temple of Doom. That might be what you're thinking of.

@@thespalek1 Which is a lot less than what they'd be getting if they gave audiences what they wanted. A downturn in profits is a problem for any corporation, they don't need to lose money to be failing.
It feels different now. Disney has seriously damaged their brand. I remember watching South park and not quite getting why Disney was so unpopular. I completely understand now. I would actually celebrate if Disney collapsed. The unwillingness to course correct has me actively rooting for them to fail.
The only reason IPs take 75 years before they go into the public domain is due to Disney's sacks of cash lobbying. It used to be 25 years I believe. There are so many random creatives who could probably reinvigorate life into Mickey etc. just using the internet.
@@Snoop_Dugg I might be wrong but with their acquisition of Marvel, then Fox and now Hulu I swear they broke some monopoly laws in the US 3 times over. Also, the hypocritical cvnts managed to get the copyright or some such to fairy tales, like Cinderella etc.
Ironically I enjoyed the HELL out of Guardians Vol. 3, in saying that in many ways the movie feels like a big fuck you to Disney by James Gunn doing whatever the hell he wants
Same with the Star Wars prequels who were trashed on for a decade, until we got the sequel, and the kids who had watched the prequels grew up and had nostalgia for them
I already knew long before there was even talks of an Indiana Jones movie. Disney is creatively bankrupt so they go and resurrect more successful older franchises in the hopes that they can bank off of nostalgia but in the process they infest it with THE MESSAGE and so it fails miserably. I had a feeling a potential Indiana Jones movie would fare no different as Disney is hellbent on destroying the old characters and replacing them with their inferior new characters who only exist as self inserts or as political props.
If she wasn't his god daughter, Phoebe Waller-Bridge's character would literally do that to him on screen for doing something "inappropriate" in the ultimate girl power moment.
If you told me 15 years ago that there would be more Star Wars, Indiana Jones, and Marvel movies, I'd be excited as hell and nothing could stop me from going to see them. But, here we are.
It wasn't that they made more of those movies... it's HOW they made them... 🤷♂️ the wokeism agendas made them shit movies in my opinion. These movies could have been great if properly made 🤔.......
It's like so many other franchises....the quality declines over time. Why not leave well enough alone? You can now cut and paste scenes from episode to episode with almost no compromise in continuity. I'll always love Karen Allen's lovely. fresh, and ingenuous character....one of the best memories of all the episodes.
These guys are like those sending messages in the deep space with the hope of some aliens listening, they don't even think maybe aliens wouldn't even understand the messages.
I would wager the only reason The Force Awakens did as well as it did was in spite of the "new" characters. It was the old guard (Hans, Chewy, etc.) propping up the movie with Harrison Ford leading the way.
The saddest part is that Disney will learn absolutely nothing from this costly failure and will produce another in due time equally as pitiful. It never ends.
Too true I fear(sigh). As long as there are low-maintenance sheep willing to buy low-effort crap, that is what we will continue to see. Art imitates life.
1:55 she even made Air Jordan’s look lame…it’s like someone said “get some Air Jordan’s…it will make you seem hip and relatable”…they somehow seem forced and contrived when she’s wearing them
They should’ve made a movie about a happily retired Indiana Jones living in a small town. He drinks coffee at the local diner with the other old men, and goes fishing with his grandkids. And then comes the caper to find some local treasure. He can’t run or throw a punch anymore, but that’s part of a charm. The towns folk join in this unlikely adventure, which comes to a successful and happy, upbeat ending. It would be a small, toned down film to match Indy’s 80 year old capabilities.
I can't believe we are now living in a world where Crystal Skull is no longer the biggest disappointment to the Indiana Jones series. Edit: To the people commenting on here to tell me to chill because I haven't seen the movie yet, oh you poor innocent children. Even if you're correct and I haven't seen it, what does it matter when the critics are already calling it bad and confirming the fears that a lot of us already had about them bringing Indy back for movie #5? And also given the track record with LucasFilm after the failures of Boba Fett, Obi Wan, Willow, and the latest season of the Mandalorian, what makes you think any of us can trust them to do right by Indiana Jones?
@@SuperFitzieZXyep. At least the prequels had a consistent and mostly coherent overarching plot. The sequels were just two guys screwing up the others work.

Top Gun Maverick gave us a look at what a decades-later sequel could be. It just hurts my heart that this series I loved so much has had to suffer like this.
The truth is that this is a movie that didn't need to be made. Harrison Ford has been too old to convincingly play the character for nearly 30 years. Some characters are better left being remembered for what they were.

Recently re-watched Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade with family who hadn't seen it. It is a fun film and a fitting end to the franchise. I won't be seeing Dial of Destiny but I very much look forward to the Drinker's take.
Its such a shame what they have done to Indiana Jones. The original trilogy was awesome and i thought Kingdom of the Crystal Skull was ok i guess. But when i heard about this one i immediately shook my head because i had a feeling it was going to be complete shit. Shouldve just left it alone.
Ironically enough, there´s a small dialogue in Jedi Survivor that goes like this: *-Cal* : The Emperor turned the Jedi Temple into his palace *-Bode* : Yeah, that´s what the Empire does best. *-Bode* : Take something you love, and make it something you can´t stand the sight of anymore I haven´t played the game, but when I first saw it, I instantly thought of Disney
Ironic that that line describes not only Disney, but Electronic Arts as well, what with their practice of buying out popular game studios and then running their franchises into the ground. I wonder if the developers were trying to subtly take a jab at either of them (possibly both).
@@dain9001 ... You have played the games before, right? She was literally thrown away like garbage in the first game by Vader, and only after several years of training was she even able to hold a candle to em. Maybe I am wasting my time, this is probably bait.
If Kennedy wants to keep destroying all of Lucas's properties, why doesn't she reboot "Howard the Duck?" As dreadful as that thing was, I'm sure she'd manage to find a way to make it even worse.
Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull was a "Bridge Too Far" for me. I knew I wouldn't see this one when geriactric Harrison Ford was announced to play lead.
You can tell this one hit Drinker harder than normal at the end. I get it man. Losing my first hero was awful... watching literally all of them die in succession is like PTSD to the creative mind.
The only analogy I can think of is Kathleen Kennedy (wo)manning an MG42 on D-day, and we're watching our heroes get cut to ribbons, Saving Private Ryan style...
But I thought Spielberg and Lucas already killed the franchise with Crystal Skull? That's at least what all the man-babies were crying about up until now
@@Luke101 They most certainly committed creative murder with the "Crystal Skull". It should have been dead and buried before then, but we'll just have to find a way to live our lives with that movie in existence. But this is like excavating a corpse to perform another autopsy, and maybe they tricked themselves into believing that Spielberg and Lucas weren't the murderers of "Indiana Jones" in the first place. They instead spread Kathleen Kennedy's DNA all over the body, the hat and the whip and are now blaming her for killing another franchise.
Are these things you ask only of society and others? Or do you demand the same qualities in yourself and what you contribute to the world? Because you make it sound like you´re an Epic person.
In the poignant finale of 'Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade', we see Indiana Jones, his father, and their two trusted allies, Marcus Brody and Sallah, fading into the gentle embrace of the sunset, each on horseback. This melancholic, yet beautiful scene will forever be etched in my memory as the most fitting conclusion to the epic Indiana Jones story.
@@schwartzy65 skull wasnt a great movie , but i do agree it did tie up some threads in a way that was enjoyable. I just wish Sean agreed to atleast cameo in it.
“The Last Crusade” was it “4” could have worked if the Crystal Skulls were the actual ones instead of shaped like aliens…they could have been alien, but not odd shaped. Karen Allen was a nice nostalgic touch in the last one…why not tie that up? Shia LeBouf, who played his son in “4” has morphed into a very different actor since then, especially given his recent experience in the Padre Pio biopic; so he probably could have redeemed himself here and even had a smart pretty wife and a kid for Indy to be an awesome grandfather mentor for. I also like the idea of bringing back “Short Round” in a main role given his recent success and presence in “Everything everywhere all at once”. There are ways of adding “diversity” for modern audiences without having to take away from what we love about the original character! 😎🤙
My grandfather was at my brother's graduation and got bored, so he stood up to go to the washroom. There was some ceremony on the stage at the time and the wires must have crossed, because the principal of our school misunderstood that as an attempt to give a speech. My grandpappy was like "sure, why not". Man went through WW2 as an interpreter in a recce platoon, and then became a tenured professor. He just whipped out a whole ass speech on the spot, nice and short, and received a standing ovation. That's the people the Dial of Destiny is making fun of: old people are funny, look how awesome they were and how lame they are now that they are old, isn't it funny?
I am old enough that I watched both Star Wars and Raiders of the Lost Ark in theaters. They were the type of blockbuster movies that aren’t made anymore. It’s hard to describe to even my own children how magical it was to go to a theater (without a million CZcams spoilers ahead of it) and have such original films come at you in your seat. Films that weren’t just entertaining, but we’re so profoundly good that you felt changed inside. Such a shame that culture has destroyed something so wonderful.
Dead on, I was 9 when I saw Star Wars and it was just....wow. Magical is a good word, I remember going home that night and dreaming about what I'd just seen
I remember being four or five years old I think my parents telling me we were going to go see the Raiders of the lost Ark. I had no idea what they were talking about but that movie just absolutely blow me away as a kid.
@dimitribotone9722 Coming from someone whose generation considered books about teenage wizards to be the peak of western literature, at least until Her Royal TERFness committed the Great Heresy, that bobbleheaded response is a compliment.
i would say the plane crashing into a tunel is more accurate, like dysney - they are still going on because they had lots of speed built up, but not a chance to continue for long
Very true, Lucasfilm logo always meant an amazing story and visual treats. Huge shame disney acquired them, completely ruined the amazing ips i grew up loving
Time for everyone to move on, especially LucasFilm, but also the fans. The whole creative world is being held back by this nostalgia, a seeming inability to grow up. A friend of mine recently mourned the passing of his heroes, REAL ones such as Neil Armstrong and Chuck Yeager. I told him "There will be others". We just have to stop living in the past. In the immortal words of the fictitious Ragnar Lothbrook in "Vikings": "Don't waste time looking behind you - you're not going that way."
My feeling on it is of the 'it has to be said, because it's unprintable' variety, except that I know of no curses in the tongues of men vile enough to express it.
Action figure prices for sale for $2 in todays times for the new movies? That is how much they were when I was a little kid in the 70's. Lol😂 love this video by Critical Drinker.
Remember the scene in the Wizard of Oz where the little dog pulls back the curtain to reveal the secret of the Wizard? Remember what the Wizard says as he desperately tries to maintain the ruse? "Pay no attention to that man behind the curtain" - the problem being, the illusion is shattered and there's no un-seeing it. No matter what the do, Disney has lost they good-will of the entire fan base for multiple franchises and has the hubris to blame you.
@@blacklivesorblackvotes2985 Good, let the bot spam away. People need a good multiple slaps in the face to wake up and realize what we hold beloved is purposefully being turned into garbage by garbage woke ideaologues.
That isn't true. What was once considered "evil" is known seen as "good" and vice versa. Questioning currently held beliefs is what pushes things forward. Inventions certainly have a tendency to bring up controversy.
I would rather them leave old franchises alone altogether, but if They’re going down this path anyway they should of done a prequel instead. Possibly Chris Pratt as a younger Indiana Jones?
I feel I was lucky to have had the experience of walking into a theater to watch “Raiders of the Lost Ark” without a single clue as to what it was about.
The fact that Harrison Ford keeps going along with these ridiculous roles is very telling. I can't even see him in some of his old roles (when they were new) without thinking about what he turned into and what he was...
@NotAfraid280 honestly, not really. I'm not a slave to capital for capital's sake, I have my own code of ethics which I strictly adhere to. I don't sacrifice art for mass marketability.
I am losing count of how many beers I owe the Drinker for the small fortune he is saving me at the box office. Edit: As of now this video has 1.1 million views. It's probably safe to assume that any one of the viewers would have taken at least one other person with them to the theater, probably more. So, the number of people NOT going to see this movie could easily be doubled or maybe tripled. It's wild to think that this eight and a half minute video is going to cost Disney tens of millions of dollars.
@@cole0424 Yeah, we all remember how he was "spot on" with his "Prey Traler analysis" video ... and we also remember tht he had to change his mind after actually seing the movie
If I remember correctly, didn’t George Lucas have to sell copyrights to his movies after his millions disappeared in some weird Wall Street transaction despite his new interracial wife being well known adviser/investor. Most likely he currently has no real say in the production/direction.

@@chuckhoyle1211 I think the the prequels are deeply flawed gems. The premise, a tragic story of a hero corrupted due to a stagnant and dogmatic world order and the subsequent collapse of said order, is phenomenal. The execution, however, is rough, especially in the first two movies. ROTS is my favorite Star Wars movie because it's the best ending to a trilogy
The thing that never gets said about all that Star Wars sequel trilogy merchandise not getting sold is that's what was in every aisle of Toys "R" Us stores when they went out of business.

Something has definitely changed very recently. For whatever reason, we are actually seeing some degree of real honesty from the professional critics for the first time in years. It's almost like the triumph of Super Mario Brothers and the uprising against Anheuser-Busch has people inside the corporate world scared. It's as if the critics can sense some kind of reckoning coming soon and they want to reclaim some measure of credibility in an attempt to save their own skins.
Disney's self destruction has been nothing short of magical to watch, they tried to test the waters on the phrase " too big to fail" They were handed several IPs loaded with content and decided to do their own thing and it blew up in their stupid faces
@@NinjaFlibble well they have ambushed big iger for his incompetence in dictating activist ideologies at the expense of quality filmmaking, while making financials deals with communist china that don't love anything disney produces, especially when it comes to diversity. That's hilarious. So maybe they are suing them. I just think the shareholders are abandoning disney, entirely.
It still baffles me how Kathleen Kennedy still has a job at Disney. I swear she has some proper skeletons in the closet material, as there is no other way someone can be so bad at such a high profile job and remain in it.
Disneys afraid that if they fire her, not only could they get sued by her, but also, most importantly, they think they’ll receive tons of backlash from fans. That’s just how far disconnected they actually are from their consumers.
She probably knows about the skeletons of others there. The skeletons of children who had intimate relationships with her bosses and peers, for example.
A once great-company renowned for it's brilliant engineering, until its management was taken over by hacks who already ran a former competitor into the ground? That moved their headquarters out of Seattle for the express purpose of giving engineers *less* control? And which has been steadily losing market share due to their continued incompetence? Nope, I can't think of a single one. It definitely has nothing to do with, say, Boeing. They're doing great :)

Galaxys Edge is actually quite popular because of the Rise of the Resistance and Millennium Falcon rides. The hotel is too expensive and failed.
As far as I’m concerned, the franchise finished when Indy, Indy Sr, Marcus & Sallah rode off into the sunset, closing off one of the greatest trilogies of all time.
Yeah, but Marion had to be brought back. I can't imagine why they didn't keep her for the whole series. Wasn't Lucas in a romance with the forgettable blonde in the third one?
You mean Henry Sr.?
@@mq1712 They made Temple of Doom a prequel so they could have Indy with a different girl and avoid the question of "Where's Marion"? Don't know why she wasn't in Last Crusade, though.
Spielberg ended up marrying the blonde actress from Temple of Doom. That might be what you're thinking of.

Same with the Star Wars prequels who were trashed on for a decade, until we got the sequel, and the kids who had watched the prequels grew up and had nostalgia for them

I am not even surprised. I fully expected Indy to be neutered with a rusty knife
They already did it to bond, no male character is safe.
I figured he was gonna die. Harrison Ford killing off his characters so he can finally retire.
I think it was actually a dull rusty knife 🤘😀
I already knew long before there was even talks of an Indiana Jones movie. Disney is creatively bankrupt so they go and resurrect more successful older franchises in the hopes that they can bank off of nostalgia but in the process they infest it with THE MESSAGE and so it fails miserably. I had a feeling a potential Indiana Jones movie would fare no different as Disney is hellbent on destroying the old characters and replacing them with their inferior new characters who only exist as self inserts or as political props.
If she wasn't his god daughter, Phoebe Waller-Bridge's character would literally do that to him on screen for doing something "inappropriate" in the ultimate girl power moment.
If you told me 15 years ago that there would be more Star Wars, Indiana Jones, and Marvel movies, I'd be excited as hell and nothing could stop me from going to see them. But, here we are.
Marvel went down in a few years. Way faster than Lucas. But still, Lucas failed over and over. They are both trash.
The ironic thing is, these companies could've made much more money if they just made... Good entertainment.
It wasn't that they made more of those movies... it's HOW they made them... 🤷♂️ the wokeism agendas made them shit movies in my opinion. These movies could have been great if properly made 🤔.......
Yep, and that the PC cult of the 90s - early 2000s would dismantle them all.
"I don't make movies to make money. I make money so I can make movies."
Walt Disney must be rolling in his grave how his dream is falling apart.
technically still true, modern disney isnt making these films to earn money, they make them to push their ideology
It's like so many other franchises....the quality declines over time. Why not leave well enough alone? You can now cut and paste scenes from episode to episode with almost no compromise in continuity. I'll always love Karen Allen's lovely. fresh, and ingenuous character....one of the best memories of all the episodes.
In the 80s, I never got tired of watching Disney classics. These days, I will never get tired of watching Disney fail.
It used to be exciting to get a new Star Wars movie that were few and far between but now, it’s just “Eh.” 🤷♂️
As true as that is, it is still sad to see a childhood hero have a new story/closing chapter ruined by politics.

Nice reference 😂😂 #Joker
I would wager the only reason The Force Awakens did as well as it did was in spite of the "new" characters. It was the old guard (Hans, Chewy, etc.) propping up the movie with Harrison Ford leading the way.
How did the guy that made Logan, a fantastic swan song for an iconic cinematic figure, also make this
The saddest part is that Disney will learn absolutely nothing from this costly failure and will produce another in due time equally as pitiful. It never ends.
Too true I fear(sigh). As long as there are low-maintenance sheep willing to buy low-effort crap, that is what we will continue to see. Art imitates life.
I don't expect a big budget "Indy 6" in cinemas after this. But a series on Dinsey+? Of course with a the new, female Indy? Quite likely.
They must think that all they have to do is keep feeding the audiences sh*t and after a while the taste will become appealing.

They should’ve made a movie about a happily retired Indiana Jones living in a small town. He drinks coffee at the local diner with the other old men, and goes fishing with his grandkids. And then comes the caper to find some local treasure. He can’t run or throw a punch anymore, but that’s part of a charm. The towns folk join in this unlikely adventure, which comes to a successful and happy, upbeat ending. It would be a small, toned down film to match Indy’s 80 year old capabilities.
I can't believe we are now living in a world where Crystal Skull is no longer the biggest disappointment to the Indiana Jones series. Edit: To the people commenting on here to tell me to chill because I haven't seen the movie yet, oh you poor innocent children. Even if you're correct and I haven't seen it, what does it matter when the critics are already calling it bad and confirming the fears that a lot of us already had about them bringing Indy back for movie #5? And also given the track record with LucasFilm after the failures of Boba Fett, Obi Wan, Willow, and the latest season of the Mandalorian, what makes you think any of us can trust them to do right by Indiana Jones?

“The Last Crusade” was it
“4” could have worked if the Crystal Skulls were the actual ones instead of shaped like aliens…they could have been alien, but not odd shaped.
Karen Allen was a nice nostalgic touch in the last one…why not tie that up?
Shia LeBouf, who played his son in “4” has morphed into a very different actor since then, especially given his recent experience in the Padre Pio biopic; so he probably could have redeemed himself here and even had a smart pretty wife and a kid for Indy to be an awesome grandfather mentor for.
I also like the idea of bringing back “Short Round” in a main role given his recent success and presence in “Everything everywhere all at once”.

Disney's self destruction has been nothing short of magical to watch, they tried to test the waters on the phrase " too big to fail" They were handed several IPs loaded with content and decided to do their own thing and it blew up in their stupid faces
aren't they being sued by their shareholders now? 😂
What next?
@@NinjaFlibble well they have ambushed big iger for his incompetence in dictating activist ideologies at the expense of quality filmmaking, while making financials deals with communist china that don't love anything disney produces, especially when it comes to diversity. That's hilarious. So maybe they are suing them. I just think the shareholders are abandoning disney, entirely.
And they keep double down on the failures lol
There is no such thing as to big to fail.
The only logical conclusion is that Kathleen Kennedy has successfully blackmailed all the board members at Disney
It's great to see a creater, do well against the mainstream. Well done drinker.
It still baffles me how Kathleen Kennedy still has a job at Disney. I swear she has some proper skeletons in the closet material, as there is no other way someone can be so bad at such a high profile job and remain in it.
She must have. She certainly has failed to deliver good financial results while destroying a number of what were once valuable franchises.
Diversity hire.
@@joelspringman523 no amount of diversity points are worth the financial train wreak she is overseeing.
Disneys afraid that if they fire her, not only could they get sued by her, but also, most importantly, they think they’ll receive tons of backlash from fans. That’s just how far disconnected they actually are from their consumers.
She probably knows about the skeletons of others there. The skeletons of children who had intimate relationships with her bosses and peers, for example.
Just imagine if Lucasfilm was an engineering company! No other industry would allow this level of incompetence.
A once great-company renowned for it's brilliant engineering, until its management was taken over by hacks who already ran a former competitor into the ground? That moved their headquarters out of Seattle for the express purpose of giving engineers *less* control? And which has been steadily losing market share due to their continued incompetence?
Nope, I can't think of a single one. It definitely has nothing to do with, say, Boeing. They're doing great :)
Boeing my guy
@@thekidfromcleveland3944also in engineering for aerospace?
Absolutely agree…
The Federal government
Electric cars for mainstream use? 🤗
This is the most cathartic CZcams channel I’ve stumbled across. Thank you for letting us vent with you about the shite state of Hollywood today.
seeing Disney lose money makes me smile
"How do you picture Indiana Jones?"
"Old, divorced, irrelevant, and subservient to a British woman."
"Have I got a movie for you!"
Wait he divorced Marion?
@@michaelusswisconsin6002 WARNING: POTENTIAL SPOILERS!
According to reviews of the film, grief over the death of their son put a strain on Indy and Marion's relationship and they are separated at the start of the 1969 scenes. Indy is served divorce papers, but he still wears his wedding ring.
I read a purported plot synopsis for the film that was posted online after the Cannes premiere. According to it, Indy and Marion reconcile at the end.
@@ginormousaurus8394not sure how to feel about this
It's kind of amazing that Kathleen Kennedy herself seems to literally have NO SHAME.
greedy people rarely do
Amazing if that Disney hasn't fired her after her long succession of failures
Why not? She's been told she is a special genius by merit of just being a woman her whole life.
Why would she? She's performed exactly as they hired her to perform.
If I was getting paid the kind of money she gets paid, I wouldn’t give two flying fucks either.
I'll give them this. They've managed to make me dislike Crystal Skull somewhat less. I didn't think that was possible.
I work at Walmart and almost every Disney toy that's not Star Wars legos are on sale since they've been sitting for so long🤦♂️
I remember how excited people were when Disney bought up LucasFilm, and that it was out of Lucas' hands. Careful what you wish for, kids.
I remember when Jim Henson found out he was terminally ill and sold all his Muppet rights to Disney as the only organization he thought could protect his work. There was a time Disney was trusted to make only good family entertainment. Look at the queer trash they make now.
The prequels broke me already, but you're correct.
Heh. Better the devil you know. And unintended consequences
I wasn't. I knew even in October 2012 that Star Wars is now on a chopping block.
@@doshutokeshi3877 for all their flaws the prequels didn't tear up the lore they just weren't very well executed
It's like they not only want to erase the past, but punish anyone for remembering it fondly.
oO(Sounds like my ex gf.)
A fate worse than death
All part of the plan
I love how the best response to Solo was just a fart.
"Reverse King Midas" is such a perfect metaphor for modern Disney
Everything they touch turns to sh!t 💩
There is a word in german for it: Kotmidas
Edit: The word originated from the game around a very "big" german lol-cow called Dragonlord. Everything he does or interacts with, basically turns to shit. Same with the life of every person he gets into contact with. Count Dankula made a series on him.
Empress Excrement.
King Mierdas ($#!+ in spanish)
The Shidas Touch as we would say in Australia.
