I agree, though when I stop to think about it I really do like the ending of Crystal Skull. It's a very happy ending. Indy gets his job back, his name cleared, marries the love of his life, and will have time to connect further with the son he didn't know he had. He has a family and can spend his twilight years in well-earned peace. Crusade's ending was better, but damn all if Skull's ending doesn't work as well.

Well that's what happens when you keep trying to carry on 40 year old franchises that didn't need to be carried on. You couldn't recreate the magic even if you brought back the entire original cast, because they're all in entirely different place in their lives (when they aren't, y'know, dead.) And it also means any new cast members have to try and fill those shoes. Which in a movie that's built on nostalgia, is going to be basically impossible.

He has actually used this phrase a couple of times in other Pitch Meetings but this was the first that actually had the same iconic actor playing his iconic character being upstaged and replaced in his iconic franchise in the exact same manner. They just stopped short of killing him and you know they filmed that version but backed off because they realized they were making a “Star Wars” again. Fans were predicting Indy was going to die since the movie was announced and Harrison has said Indy dies with him, no recasting, no reboots (sorry Chris Pratt) so you know eventually the scene/version where he stays in the past gets leaked.

And Indy 5 is looking like it won't make anywhere near enough to break even (I believe its budget was 300 million, and its current income trend is looking like it might gross $450 million at best by the end of its run which would be a $150 million loss.)

At the time of the pitch meeting, the sense was: MONEEEEEY!!!!

Wait, it's not normal for someone to be hit so hard they are unconscious for several days as their unconscious body is transported around the world and into their apartment into bed before they wake up?

​@@CiboriumAround the world AND through time. I absolutely believe that Phoebe Waller Bridge can hit that hard. And let's not forget that he's 80 so being hit THAT hard... would probably just kill him.

1:34 -- The bit about how "when you bring back an old character people love, ya gotta make them sad and miserable" reminds me of a bit I wrote in a fan Pitch Meeting script I wrote for the play "Harry Potter and the Cursed Child." "WRITER GUY: Well, Harry doesn't get along with his son and he's having recurring nightmares and his scar hurts again and his job is super stressful. You see, Harry is kinda like the magical attorney general and he just recovered a stolen super-powerful Time-Turner, but Hermione is his boss and she yells at him for not reading a report. PRODUCER GUY: Wow, didn't Harry Potter used to have fun in these things? WRITER GUY: He sure did, sir. PRODUCER GUY: So does grown-up Harry get to have any fun? WRITER GUY: Well, Hermione offers him a toffee. PRODUCER GUY: A toffee? Not even, like, a cool magical candy? WRITER GUY: Nope, just a regular old toffee. PRODUCER GUY: I guess that's...kind of fun. WRITER GUY: But then Harry says he can't eat it because his wife won't let him have sweets. PRODUCER GUY: Oh, my God."
