10 Questions About Indiana Jones and the Dial of Destiny ANSWERED

[@aokennison]

I really liked the big supernatural twist at the end. For Indy, that’s the ultimate treasure, he’s been searching for history his whole life and now he gets chance to live and experience history. Really like how in this one he struggles to let it go. And liked how Helena did what she had to to save this stubborn old man.

[@erickepley9814]

THIS IS EXACTLY HOW I FEEL!!!! I loved this so much. I loved how Indy was having a hard time and needed someone who loved him to pull him back to the life he needed to live

[@thedirty_bird]

I really liked how they just cut to Indy safe and back home, and the police forgot about the murders, and everyone forgot about continental drift

[@chadsmalley]

Totally agree. I don’t understand why some people had a problem with this part. I thought it was amazing and a beautiful thing for his character.

[@benjaminspears8488]

@@thedirty_birdHa. I think the only link of Indy to the murders was his bloody handprint on the phone. I don’t know how serious he would have been considered a suspect given his age, his history, and the number of murders.

[@legoboy468]

@@thedirty_birdI don’t think continental drift was ever actually relevant, it was just a way to get the Nazis to doubt their plan and maybe turn back. As we find out at the end, the dial was always going to take them to Sicily

[@jesperlevels8960]

Having seen the Young Indy adventures, they definitely add an extra layer to this film. There, young Indy enlists in World War 1 partly to annoy his father. He fortunately survives. I could really see how old Indy in Dial of Destiny was struggling with the fact that his son was so much like him, but in the end did not survive. I don't know if Jim Mangold did this on purpose, but it is definitely an added layer to the film.

[@DATFilms]

It continues Mutt mirroiyng Young Indy's path, he doesn't finish school and goes off into his own, he didn't had a war to go straight away, but when it did happened he enlisted, it works, I'm still not happy though.

[@the_amazing_crappo]

I think the random deaths are there to demonstrate how Indy's earlier adventures were largely consequence free and how when you get older you are more risk averse as you become more aware your own mortality. Also could be seen as a misdirect to make you think that Indy will die at the end.

[@Igor_the_Mad]

This was my take as well. Helena treats their escape on the boat as an epic set piece, much like the audience, but Indy is the one to rip both her and the audience back to the seriousness and cost of the adventure.

[@Playhouse76]

The diving scene was a big one for me, too. Also, that scene in the bar where Indy asks Helena why she would want to spend her life chasing after her father's crazy obsession, she asking him wouldn't you, and that moment of realization and reflection Indy has was one of my faves.

[@ForceWave-1139]

I wonder if the similarities between Indy/Marian/Mutt and Han/Leia/Ben were intentional. This film has a lot of thematic parallels with the Star Wars sequel trilogy; resurgent Nazis are the bad guys again, Indy’s dealing with him being old, there’s a new female lead hero, and the message is about accepting the mistakes of the past and moving on (rather than trying to change or “kill” the past).

[@soonerthrawn1362]

Cant harrison have a marriage work out lol

[@maryanneayumi9594]

Indie at the end explained that Archimedes’ Antikythera (Dial) wasn’t really to let you time travel anywhere you want. Archimedes created the Dial with the purpose of seeking help to rescue him from the past. In short, the Dial was set and programmed to direct its user directly to the warp (Typhoon’s eyes) leading to Archimedes. There where other warps and typhoons just like what Indie told Voller “You got the wrong warp”, but the purpose of the Dial was to lead to the specific warp where Archimedes is. It’s like they need a different instrument for them to locate the warp for 1939 but the Antikythera cannot be changed and its programmed to direct them to 214 BC.

[@FATE522]

I'm kind of sad we didn't get 4 videos of "Everything I love about Indiana Jones" movies, but I understand this channel is more so devoted to Star Wars content. Thanks Alex and Molly for the little tid bits of Indiana Jones fun :)

[@matuck25]

I really enjoy how this movie wrapped up. I think it is important to see Indy, who like you say always chooses the connection, so unconnected that he can’t see the love and support around him. Helena chose him. By the end, he decides to accept help, and to accept love again. He chooses to accept life, and everything that comes with it.

[@agentw8728]

I think the fact that this is the only film where Indy does not himself consciously choose to give up the artifact or its power is actually very intentional. Helena is significantly paralleled with Indy in Temple of Doom (the first chronological film), selling an artifact to a gangster and having a sidekick who is a young boy she found trying to steal from her. Having her step into the role he once played of being the one to make the decision to let go of the artifact's power completes that arc.

[@TheRoyalFino]

I think an alternative Mutt explanation could have been he was in Vietnam and hasn't contacted him. While it does not have the same impact of him being dead, Indy could still feel the guilt of angering his son enough for him to enlist to fight in an awful war that may very well lead to his death. But the reveal scene was really good and shocked me to my core to hear him say that.

[@thegreypath1777]

@TheRoyalFino - I wish they would have made Mutt/Henry MIA in Vietnam instead of killing him off.

[@ajzeg01]

The immortal knight gets a lot of screen time in Last Crusade, that’s a supernatural element that we spend a lot of time with.

[@TrumanTheGrayMerchant]

I originally felt similar to you in regards to Indy not deciding himself to go back, but I've accepted it more as I've thought more about it. The way I see it is that Helena literally knocking him unconscious to drag him home is the ultimate representation that someone cares about him. Indy has never been the most emotionally aware guy. He was literally born in the 1800s. He's a boomer, to the boomers. In the end, he needed this very forceful, obvious sign to finally realize that people cared about him.

[@phillipbernhardt-house6907]

I think one of the main reasons Indy wasn't too much into the Moon landing and space travel in general is that he had been part of the O.S.S. while in WWII, and thus would have known (at least via the grapevine) about Operation Paperclip, Werner Von Braun, and so forth, and not therefore have been enthusiastic about it because of the Nazi involvement in it. His phrase in Kingdom of the Crystal Skull, "I like Ike," is not just a nod to the Presidential campaign slogan, but also to Eisenhower's speech at the end of his second term when he warned about the dangers of the military-industrial complex, which Operation Paperclip was entirely an extension of, ultimately.

[@agentw8728]

Yeah, and if I recall correctly there's even a line in Crystal Skull where Indy subtly implies that one of the FBI officers questioning him was actually a Nazi, asking him something along the lines of what side he supported during the war. He's also pretty clearly annoyed at all the Red Scare/McCarthyism stuff.

[@myriadmediamusings]

After watching all the movies and show chronologically, I think Dial of Destiny was a fine wrap up for the character. This June Indython was definitely fun, but I gotta admit I'm hard pressed to think of what more could be done with it on the film and tv stages.

[@bengeldinger]

Related to cgi/ai reminds me of a quote "just because you can do something doesn't necessarily mean you must do something"

[@yoshim616]

I do like the idea at the end that Indy and Marion get to live together and be happy.

[@peterkoester7358]

I was one of the people who enjoyed the Young Indiana Jones Chronicles when it aired, and I have the DVD collection of mini-movies they edited together from the TV episodes. My fear as Dial of Destiny was coming to an end was that it would ruin the canon of Old Indy in those episodes, still alive in the early 1990's, and said to be living with his daughter and grandchildren, by having Indy stay behind in the past or die by the end of the film. Having now seen Dial of Destiny, my head-canon is that Helena was that daughter (she was, after all, Indy's God-Daughter and Helena's actual father was deceased) and they all lived happily ever after - so to speak.

Q&A: Do you think there are some people from the previous Republic that are against or opposing what the New Republic are doing?

[@derekmak1781]

I think this story is how Indy evolved. All he has ever cared about is getting the treasure but when he finds it, just like the Holy Grail, he has to accept that some things cannot be gained and they are best left undiscovered to prevent any more evil forces from using the artifacts for evil. Indy was a treasure hunter, now he has changed into a true hero.

[@MCLegoboy]

I don't know if it necessarily makes sense that Mutt would enlist, he was a beatnik greaser that was very anti-authority, but I can see him doing something like running off and joining a cause that Indy doesn't support. Mutt is very impulsive, he probably only did it to mess with Indy's head, but maybe he did also see a need to help people even if he didn't exactly know what was going ong, and then immediately regretted it, but once he was in, he was in, there was no going back. It's actually very similar to the Young Indy stuff where he runs away, joins up with Poncho Villa because he thinks he's doing good, but then sees what's happening in World War I and feels the need to take his new friend Remy back to Belgium and join in the fight, and then once he's actually in the trenches, he regrets doing that, but he's in and has to see everything through to the end. While it's a shame that Mutt was killed off and couldn't just have this estranged relationship with Indy and rode off to somewhere else and having adventures like Easy Rider, I think it made sense, and it helped explain Marion's absence in the movie, too. Mutt could have also just as easily been killed off just for being the type of guy he was. Cross the wrong person in the wrong town, it's very easy to die, and especially in the 60s where there's a lot of tension. I think that might also be why there is just so much violence and death of the innocent in this movie. There's some weird measure of honor the further back in time you go, and if we're looking at the Indy movies almost being like modern versions of the types of movies and stories being told back then, then you are going to see similar reflections. In the 30s, although there's violence in movies and serials of that time, it's only ever really between the parties involved, but then in the 50s with the Atomic Age and the Red Scare, everyone is capable of anything and it only continues to get worse the further into the 60s you go, and this is 1969 when everyone's still reeling from what a calamity 1968 was, Moon Landing or not.

[@thegreypath1777]

They didn’t have to kill off Mutt/Henry. They could have made him MIA instead. Rumor has it that Producer KK wanted to make sure that Mutt/Henry didn’t come back.

[@MCLegoboy]

​@@thegreypath1777 The problem with only making him MIA is that then there's still hope, even if perhaps Indy would take the more nihilistic approach and assume his death. And perhaps you still get this wedge between Marion having hope an Indy rejecting it, but to have them both grieve in different ways and Indy just shutting down worked. I think it has more to do with any controversy regarding Shia LaBeouf. He's just seen as a bit of an oddball nowadays. Now I think there may still be a way to have Mutt live. I think back to More American Graffiti, specifically Toad's story, but it's a bit more messed up. Toad is listed as being MIA, but he actually defects and runs away after finally successfully faking his death. Say that there's a recently blown landmine that Mutt has run across, and he swapped dogtags with a body too mutilated to identify. He can then slip away and find refuge somewhere else in the world. When this occurred and whether he ever will find his way back to America under a new pseudonym, we don't know, that story has yet to be told, but if there is anything left in the tank of this franchise, a story could be told in a book or comic or something that retcons Mutt's death. Toad eventually went on to live in Europe since he could likely never show his face again in the US, and since Mutt grew up in London, he might be able to reclaim a life there. No body, no proof, so anything's kind of possible if you aren't satisfied.

[@williambrackin]

I thought the younger Indy was awesome looking. Maybe one or two frames was obvious it was elder Harrison Ford, but it was easily the best I’ve ever seen anything like that, and it’s only going to get better as the days go by. Hate to say it Molly, but it isn’t going anywhere. It should be used sparingly and only to serve the story, and not as a gimmick. I’m also really oblivious to what’s real and what’s not. I had to be convinced that Peter Cushing had been dead long before Rogue One was a thought. So maybe I’m just easy to please! I will say it was very noticeable in Mando Season 2 finale. I would put a decent chunk of change that Deepfake Luke is showing up in the Filoni Star Wars movie

[@WhiteWolf496]

I was thinking that if he stayed, the ending would be with Helena going to a museum and seeing an Indiana Jones display. Which could work if the movie was fully building up to it but still feel a little fan servicey due to the whole... "This belongs in a museum" "so do you!" Although that would be a relatively clever payoff to that line lol. I do wish he made the choice himself but if there's something I do appreciate with the way it unfolds... its that it pays off Helena's arc from only caring about cash to caring about Indy and Teddy.

[@Joshml98]

While i really enjoyed the movie im sad that they left the character with a bittersweet ending, whereas crystal skull left him with a big happy ending with the wedding.

[@no-barkthechosenone2436]

Been an Indy fan since before I could walk. Though the movie wasn’t entirely for me (I’d give it around a 6/10) this movie has given me a bunch of classic Indy moments that I will rewatch for the rest of my life. Indy hanging on the gargoyle is top 5 franchise moments for me.

[@ryankwon8785]

A historian, scholar, and adventurer having the choice to stay in Ancient History is the biggest temptation. So any historian would be punched and tied up by his friends to get themselves back to the present. The artifacts are pale temptations to the choice of staying in a Ancient History time you love.

[@orinanime]

As far as I can tell, Harrison Ford's voice for the de-age prologue wasn't AI generated. It was Harrison doing a voiceover. It sounded off because he's 80 years old voicing a 40 year old. It sounded bored because he was. Harrison has always hated doing voice work.

[@Playhouse76]

One thing I'm not sure if I was clear on about the dial: I think we can assume there might be other fissures in time, but I got the impression that Indy and Helena came to the conclusion that the Dial itself actually only lead to one fissure that would take someone back to Archimedes. In essence, it presented the possibility of a closed loop rather than truly being able to find more fissures to travel to different places/times. Am I wrong about that?

[@Playhouse76]

In any case, I was really skeptical and resistant to the concept of time travel in Indiana Jones. I kept thinking that can't be a thing when the rumors began to come out about it. I wasn't looking forward to it in the film, but I actually thought it was a pretty "grounded" and elegant way to address time travel. Took me a little bit to adjust to the idea of Indy being back in actual history, but I think it works.

But let me know if and how that idea could have worked if had they done it by way of Easter Egg Im leaning on Glad the ells were not Great White sharks or that Indy didn't ride a bike across a moon or that he didn't time travel back to Dinosaur days .

[@jimgrote304]

Roy Scheider died 15 years ago, so he probably wasn’t an option! If they wanted a callback for that scene, it would have been cool if George Harris came back to play Captain Katanga; by that time, he could have (mostly) given up piracy & smuggling and retired to a fishing boat.

The issue with deepfaking/ de-aging is that humans have evolved to recognise faces in order to stay alive. Recognition of a face that’s showing anger, or lust, or trust can be the difference of life or death. We HAD to develop this evolutionary trait. It’s even why we sometimes give inanimate objects emotions when they depict a face somehow. It’s super neat! But that’s all lead to the uncanny valley existing, which makes de-aging and the like SO different to get right. We’ll always see through it, until the technology truly catches up. But there’s a very Jurassic Park ‘million years of evolution’ vs ‘technology’ thing going on here. Life finds a way? We’ll see!

I had an overall positive experience with the movie but I’m still unclear as to how tectonic plates would effect the dial

I believe Indy was just trying to put doubt in Vollers mind. It turned out that it wouldn’t matter where the rift was or not, it would have taken them to the same point in the past no matter what. But Voller and Indy didn’t know that befor me entering the rift.

[@orinanime]

They don't actually. But the way Jones' theorized was this: Continental drift would mean reorientation of the point of origin and points of destination on the map coordinates. So Jones assumed that the location of the time fissure they were headed to was a different door than the one Waller actually wanted. Basically he picked the wrong X on the map. But in the end, Archimedes built the dial to lead people back to him. I assume there are other fissures. But this particular "compass" was made to take the user to only one destination, no matter what.

[@BlackRobin71]

They don't. The dial was going to take them back to the same point in time regardless. Indy was just trying to get in Voller's mind and make him turn back.

Instead of deep fake digital faces, I would much prefer a recast in most situations.

As much as I love Harrison in this role, I would have been pretty happy if they just recast the part and had further adventures of a younger Indy.

It's too early to judge where to rank Dial Of Destiny. Raiders is great, but it's the first and established the genre. The others are all not as good, in different ways, because they can't live up to that. These are the kinds of films that, over time, they will settle into a groove.

as far as the de-aging: I definitely dont think this is the best its ever looked, but it is the best it's ever looked for Lucasfilm. Personally I think even Marvel's very first forray into de-aging (Michael Douglas in Ant-Man) looks far better than this, and every instance since then does too. I’m sure they have different methods of acheiving these effects but for whatever reason Star Wars seems to be committed to using the least effective work flow. I'm sure it's naive of me to think Disney could just tell Marvel to share their secrets with Star Wars but... cant they? And if we want to look past Disney, I think the flashback sequence in Terminator: Dark Fate is one of ( if not *the* ) best example of de-aging to this day. All of this to say I think it might be time for Lucas Film to humbly ditch whatever its been doing for the past 7 years and start incorporating tequniques that have been proven to work.

I'm sure I'll find more nits to pick when I watch it again (really can't see Mutt enlisting, the villains being very triggerhappy but not killing 'important' people, etc...), but at the moment I'm giving it a 6/10 and fourth best Indy movie..

Can we all agree that this was a screen test for Phoebe Waller-Bridge to play Doctor Aphra.

[@harryjackson2215]

I was internally screaming that Indy was choosing to stay in the past and very happy when he got knocked out 😂

Helena’s father’s obsession with the dial kind of reminds me of Indy’s father’s obsession with the Holy Grail. The obsession scares Indy and he realizes that the way Helena was raised made her into a young Indy (brash, taking risks, flirting, and desiring fame and glory). Indy sees himself in Helena which was a major factor in him trying to save Helena even if the reason was him trying to save his goddaughter. Also, I think another reason Indy tries to stop and berates Helena is because he wished someone actually try to convince him in the past to stop going on adventures, love Marion properly, and live a normal life to raise his son from infancy to adulthood. Helena is going on the same path Indy did but on a much darker one.

[@bongokongo8463]

Yeah, they even make a point in the movie about it. When Indiana says, "why do you want to get the artifact that drove your father crazy", Helena says "wouldn't you?" I felt like it was a clear callback to the Henry Sr/Jr dynamic in The Last Crusade. Henry Sr. obsession with the Holy Grail drove him away from Indy, same as Helena's father obsession with the Dial drove her from him. Like poetry, sort of, they rhyme.

[@jasonshaneyfelt1039]

Temple of Doom doesn't ruin Indy's relationship with Marion because Temple of Doom takes place before Raiders. Temple of Doom takes place in 1935 and Raiders in 1936. Temple of Doom is actually the first Indiana Jones movie chronologically.

[@thegreypath1777]

Time wise, Temple of Doom was actually a Prelogue to Raiders.

[@stuartbagley2586]

Indiana Jones x Lara Croft

[@jeffmiller6025]

Ranking: 1. The Last Crusade 2. The Dial of Destiny 3. Raiders of the Lost Ark (These top three are all so good that the can swap around a bit) 4. Kingdom of the Crystal Skull 5. Temple of Doom, aka the only actually terrible Indy film, in which Short Round and the name “Club Obi-Wan” are the only even remotely good things about it. For clarity: I’m 48 and grew up seeing the movies in the theater, etc. and have watched them repeatedly over the years. Always gave Temple a miss on rewatches (it’s status as total trash was confirmed by a recent rewatch in prep for Dial), didn’t mind Kingdom as much as everyone else seemed to, and, watching Dial, did actually feel the way I’d felt watching Raiders and Crusade. Confirmed by my now having seen Dial three times already! Haha

@@elliottwatt5297 Totally. And to your point, LOTR has been almost as vital to me as Star Wars since I was very young. But I also get why not everyone enjoys it.

[@lakernation26]

I honestly agree with temple of doom. For me it has the weakest story out of all of them. I have hella nostalgia for Crystal skull since it came out when I was 9 years old so that movie means a lot to me. Idc what a lot of ppl say about it. I got crusade, raiders, skull, dial than doom, I can switch out skull and dial since I really liked them

[@brandontidwell9531]

Even crystal skull for the most part had a decent balance of cgi and practical sets and stunts etc. It kept that Indiana feel and dial just couldn’t do that with all of its goofy cgi.

[@brandontidwell9531]

Hell yeah mollie is 100% right. The de aging sucks and it needs to stop.

[@gamestation2690]

Apparently, whether it's Luke Skywalker or Indiana Jones, people don't like seeing their classic heroes being old curmudgeons being stuck in a rut, who need young women to get them back on their feet. They’d rather have a legacy sequel in the vein of Top Gun: Maverick.

[@Zorak_97]

Oh yeah, _Top Gun: Maverick_ , one of the most overrated blockbusters of the past 10 years and a movie that does little to nothing to reinvent its own universe, instead it's just a little bit better than the original and has a well made third act that justifies the "ok" feeling of the rest of the movie. Meanwhile, legacy sequels (or prequels) that do have ambition like _Skyfall_ , the _Planet Of The Apes_ prequel trilogy, _Mad Max: Fury Road_ , _Twin Peaks: The Return_ , _Blade Runner 2049_ , _The Last Jedi_ and _The Matrix Resurrections_ are criticized by people who think the world ended after the 80's. Yeah, I'm sure _Maverick_ is a perfect model to restart a classic franchise.

[@orinanime]

​@@Zorak_97LOL you can pretend Maverick did "little to nothing". Obviously you weren't paying attention.

[@WhiteWolf496]

​@@orinanimenah maverick is a pretty decent movie but it didn't really try anything new. It didn't have to... but that's the point they were making.

[@orinanime]

@@WhiteWolf496 I disagree with it not trying anything new

[@sasamichan]

for me fake is fake. There's no difference between CGI and puppets when I see fake its still fake and when its done well CGI or whatever looks real and most of the time I can't tell. I couldn't tell in this one . I do get bothered when I KNOW the effect CAN be done practically and people say "CGI was the only way to do it" Pokémon, Final Fantasy, Spiderman, Zelda, LOTR, Harry Potter can all be done with out CGI but we use it any how and its extra painful when the CGI is an animal or a child... like Love Guru or Dr Doolittle but I couldn't tell the CGI in Call of the Wild Characters I would like to see in a film again René Belloq Short Round Teddy Hellena young Marian Wu Han a new character spun off from one of those
