Oh that would have been so cool!

I would love to see Short Round come back. He has become an adventurer himself and is resentful of Indie for putting him in so many dangerous situations but they are forced to work together! Eh??? Maybe short round is the moral compass who is determined to return artifacts to the people they belong to and indie is confronted with the problematic nature of “it belongs in a museum.”

Thanks for doing this! It was so much fun! (It also inspired me to write a 30s adventure style script of my own). As for Crystal Skull, while it is my least favorite of the series, I still enjoy elements of it overall. I think the update to the 50s was a cool and necessary one, considering Harrison Ford's age and I enjoy the aesthetic that was brought to it. It has some great action and comedy scenes as well like the motorcycle chase, and the soda shop fight always cracks me up: "Get that Greaser!" It was nice seeing Karen Allen back again, and while my viewpoint of Shia LaBeouf has soured a bit lately, I still think he gives a pretty great performance. Cate Blanchett gives a fun performance as well, mind the "Nuke the Fridge" moment also). I think the only part that genuinely bugged me was thand I enjoyed the plot line of Indy initially having to start over because he's accused of being a Communist (I also did note character of Mac because he doesn't serve much purpose other than being a confusing inconvenience and a way for the villains to keep up with the heroes.
