    CW child SA

    Just a reminder that Indy isn’t a “good guy”, punching Nazis is one of his few good characteristics. He’s a childremoved and a terrible archaeologist who steals peoples cultural artifacts bECaUsE tHeY BelOnG iN a MUsEum

        Marion in the first movie was a child when he first “met” her. libertarian-alert

        Spielburg and Lucas discussed making Marion even younger than that but after drinks and laughs decided not to. libertarian-alert

        Yup, it’s referenced in the first movie, Marion was 15 and Indy was in his late 20s when Indy takes advantage of her

        It’s pretty blatant, Marion says “I was a child! I was in love! It was wrong and you knew it!”

        Indy then blames her, saying “you knew what you were doing”

        Pretty sure there are interviews where Lucas or Spielberg wanted her to be even younger yikes-1yikes-2yikes-3

          Lucas did. Spielberg talked him up to 15, but both agreed they wanted her to have been young, “promiscuous”, and “she came onto him”.

          I’ve often said Lucas is about as close as you can possibly get to being a good billionaire…and that conversation about how they created Marion’s character should tell you all you need to know on how far that actually gets you.

      Lovable Harrison “crashed my plane into an active commercial airport multiple times, including landing on taxiways instead of the actual runway, putting multiple other people at risk of horrible death, just to satisfy my own Hollywood induced God complex” Ford!

      Maybe that nickname needs some shortening though…

      The other half get their worldview from blue curtain admiration of Warhammer 40k or the Starship Troopers movie that Verhoeven himself openly regretted missing the satire mark with too many people.

        Verhoeven himself openly regretted missing the satire mark with too many people.

        That was pretty significant since that movie was such an absolutely blatant in that it was a satire i don’t even know how anyone could misread it. Turned out, a lot of people apparently did a very stretching mind edits.

        Oh and also Verhoeven said that and then made Dune adaptation, yet another book with horribly fascistic fandom missing incredibly obvious messages, and this time he didn’t even tried.

    In a lot of ways I kind of agree that a lot of people take whatever the viewpoint of bourgeois media as Inherently correct and that’s not super great. It’s like that “I’m a master of ethics watch this: whatever the law says!” Kind of thing

    But nazis is nazis lol shut up cryptofash.
