Indiana Jones & the Dial of Destiny - Using time travel to literally retcon the series

[5t3n0g0ph3r]

Trailer looks not that bad but there's almost no dialogue and we have no clue about the plot.
Trailers for No Time To Die looked neat as well... then I saw the movie and it was one of the most miserable experiences I've ever had.

The bitch who killed James Bond is killing Indiana Jones. Kind of ironic since Jones' father was Bond.
Can we get a "No frumpy bitches and troons" sign already?

 

[RumblyTumbly]

I have absolutely no interest in seeing this.

I have no faith in Disney or LucasFilm.

Lets be real for a moment.

Harrison is too god damned old to play an action movie role.

The CGI to make him play as one looks like ass

it will make the movie unwatchable

He was too old in Kingdom of the Crystal Skull.

 

[Manwithn0n0men]

He was too old in Kingdom of the Crystal Skull.

He was too old in Bladerunner 2

 

[Scarlett Johansson]

He's been too old since the 2000s.

 

[naaaaiiiiillllll!!!]

I feel like this gif is unironically better than this film will be...

I do love how they're desperately hiding how they're erasing Indy forever from all timelines possible as a plot point, and minimizing the new woman character Kathy's fantasizing herself as. Very TLOU 2 level scummy IMO. Also what is that moron's obsession with imagining herself as British? She keeps fucking doing it with her godawful pet actresses. Is it a fetish like she has tentacles?

I also applaud the sheer malevolence and chromosomal damage in this one; it's not enough to just have Indy fucking die. No no no, you have to kill his legacy in past, present, and future and THEN Damnatio Memoriae him forever. He has to have a failed marriage, a broken legacy, a dead son and no bloodline, and then fucking erase himself to pass the torch to the Bond lady who killed that franchise. That is a level of contempt for the people who ensure you don't lose your business that is beyond what I previously thought possible.

I hope this film fucking craters.

I actually really like Phoebe Waller-Bridge, but this still looks abysmal. Disney are poo fingers at this point - everything they touch turns to shit.

I had no idea who she was, but from the PREVIEW alone, she looks like a classy English lady (with her half-line of dialogue). My imagination can fill her in as some kind of Emma Thompson-ish lady, which is cool and all -- but we all know that isn't what the film will be like...

It being the same lady who killed James Bond, if 100% true, might put her into some cultural crimes against humanity territory imo...

Masterful CGI work.

 

[Bennytehsmeghead]

Saw the trailer, basically confirmed that youtuber Overlord Diktor von Doomcock was right with his rumours.

I can't believe I typed that down...

Masterful CGI work.

A net worth of 180 billion and this is the best Disney and Lucasfilm can do. Even some of the most hastily done deepfakes on youtube look better than this, and they actually hired some decent deepfake youtubers to work for them and they still can't do any better.

Even broken clocks can occasionally be right I guess.

Here is a secret.

People in LaLa land don't make movies for you. They make movies for their friends and people they know.

Like the directors who make more normal movies/producers who make more normal movies/actors who make more normal movies......they all have a nexus where they interact on the regular to semiregular with non Hollyweird people

 

[Stab You in the Back]

I hated the fucking trailer. Felt like a parody of bad 20s nostalgia bait. Slow piano version of the old theme. Old man looking back fondly on his old adventures.

Fuck whoever made this shit.

I feel personally insulted. I really do. This trailer is aimed at men my age. Old fucking farts who grew up watching this shit and will respond tearfully at the shameless nostalgia bait because our T-levels are rapidly dropping.

I'm not watching this shit. I'm not engaging with it. I'm going to pretend like it doesn't exist. Fuck that worthless old hag Kathleen Kennedy. Fuck Disney. Just let things fucking die, already.

 

[Manwithn0n0men]

And look: Last Crusade is where this shit really ended.

They've not had a good idea for Harrison Ford as Indy

 

[That Chris Guy]

We need a roll-call: who do we have left? What beloved male heros can we point to in our old age and smile about?

All of them. The only sensible thing left to do is ignore the bad fanfiction that passes for a movie sequel these days and don't give your money to the sleazy company that made it. I for one don't give two shits what any Young Indiana Jones shows might tell you about the character - it's pure wank that doesn't matter in my book.

Of course it's wasted opportunity given the actors may not be alive long enough to set things right, but preserving integrity is the endgame at this point.

It being the same lady who killed James Bond, if 100% true, might put her into some cultural crimes against humanity territory imo...

Not sure about his death, but she claimed she worked on the dialogue between characters, which she said was a great improvement, funny and witty, showed sides to the characters we've never seen before, blah blah blah.

It was of course a horribly written hatchet job, where the black lady has a stick permanently lodged up her ass and the whole thing is juvenile at best. So no, I have no faith in her acting, much less so for an Indy film.

 

[Manwithn0n0men]

And like look.....

Your doing Time Travel because you need to bring the Nazis back.....not because there is a story which needs Indy to go back in time.

So its already a shitshow there.

Waller-Bridge has uncredited writing work in here. Mangold likely rewrote the original script that was there for spielberg

 

[A Grey Cat]

Poor Indy, hasn't he suffered enough?

J still say trey and Matt where being overly dramatic with that one. (Remember that it's the boomers who are the most petty when it comes to so called cherished childhood memories) As bad a kingdom of crystal skull was it was still....something, and had a better title.

This though? It's nit even worth getting angry over anymore. It's all just so tiresome that getting mad isn't gonna change anything. Nor is it gonna lead to anything better.

Even broken clocks can occasionally be right I guess.

I mean, ever since 2021 he kept on receiving rumours that what we now know as Dial of Destiny would star Phoebe Waller-Bridge and involve time travel and subversion/destruction of Indy's character. The trailer basically confirmed these rumours, and I guess it's best if I first owe him a cold one if I had the time and money to head to America, or better yet, stick with the original trilogy of Raiders of the Lost Ark, Indy and the Temple of Doom and Indy and The Last Crusade, alongside the surprisingly well-done TV show The Young Indiana Jones Chronicles. No joke, someone's been at work restoring the show to its original state on YouTube and it's worth a quick look IMO.
