My least popular Disney take is that Hellfire sucks and is only popular because internet edgelords think a song about sexual repression in a Disney movie is super grimdark badass. The Disney equivalent of Crawling in my Skin. Gaston, Poor Unfortunate Souls, and (especially) Be Prepared are all better: as songs, as character portraits, and as set pieces. Seriously, a bunch of Golden Age Disney animators couldn't come up with something more visually interesting than Frollo getting a shameful Catholic boner for the Dave Matthews Band logo?

TBH I didn't understood anything about the song when I was small Jhonson. It just slap you in the face with big fat dramatical chorus and instrumental, I know it's why I liked it back.
But damn you're right about the cringe masterbation contest on internet.

They're rebooting Indiana Jones. Will he be a nigger tranny in a wheelchair or yet another Br*tish brunette woman who's lame and gay?

Here’s how to reboot Indiana Jones, Disney; Get that Alden Ehrinreich guy who played Han Solo in that retarded spinoff to play Indy, set the movie during WWII, and have him team up with the Rocketeer. Boom, instant winner! (As long as Disney doesn’t DEI it up, but it sounds like even the Mouse is realizing that’s a losing strategy)
 
Well if they want to make some actual profit from the Indiana Jones IP it's all very simple.

Take the first three films and out them in a blu ray box set. They don't have to be remastered 4/8/16K - normal blu ray without noticeable transfer defects is fine. Add as many contemporaneous and new extra features as you can cobble together ideally with those involved in the original productions including multiple commentary tracks. Market it as an event, a celebration putting the first film back in cinemas in June, the second in July and the third in August with the box set itself going on sale (for no more that £20) September or October. And don't allow anyone currently at Lucasfilm (or Phoebe Waller-Bridge) anywhere near it.

Adopt a similar approach with other formerly successful IPs and who knows; they might reinvigorate the disc market that was such a cash cow for them. The costs would be trivial compared to what they current spend on "new content" and could be expected to turn a profit both initially and with an ongoing cash stream.

Obviously this is merely the foolish rantings of a fool. It's clearly much better to make new films for a modern audience like Dial of Destiny and lose 100s of millions and run a streaming operation currently in the hole for over $10bn.

I don't think they learned considering their idea for a Rocketeer reboot was to have black woman as the protagonist and the scenario you presented could have the actress playing Riri Williams in the role since she and Alden are both in the Ironheart series.

I feel bad for Alden, he got gigafucked by the Solo thing. He's a real talent and deserves a real career.

Or they could have a time travel plot that retcons the last two movies as bad timelines
 
Rebooting Indiana Jones would be incredibly difficult. They couldn't remake the films. Is it meant to be more Indiana Jones adventures of the same guy or a complete reboot?

When would you set it? default assumption would be the same time as the originals, which is what they would do. Yet the originals are set between 1935-38. Narrow timeframe before the war.

Would you use the, "it's based on serials" to have Indy on Infinite adventures in the 30s?

How much would they include / not include the Nazis? How would they even approach that these days? How would the Zionists who influence Hollywood want that to be done and how would that go with the global audience now that the Zionists are openly committing genocide?

Would they put in retarded associations with modern politics?

If it's a story like Temple of Doom, how would they approach the white man going into foreign cultures with current woke politics? Would Indy be the villain?

Would Indy be white?

How would they do current diversity goals for Hollywood?

All they could probably do is some bland adventure where Indy goes to some foreign land, gets seduces into the local customs. Bangs a native Lantino. Stops a Spanish archelogist who wants to take their treasure and learns things don't belong in a museum.

They had a TV show based on his youth where he had many adventures and the first film started with him as a teen. Never saw the show but the ads for it on the tape shall always live in my memory.

I bought the DVD boxset a long time ago. I don't think I finished the first episode.

But that just belays my question of when would they set it?

Young Indy isn't Indiana Jones. They could start back then, have his dad and go all prequels but it's not the same thing. The Uncharted Movie recently faced that problem. Film was fine, but it wasn't Uncharted as Drake as a character is of a certain age and experience.

There were novels of both young and adult Indy, plus the excellent game Fate of Atlantis.

The problem isn't the story, the problem is it being so tied to Harrison Ford. Current Hollywood can't find any decent talent for basic movies, let alone such an iconic role. I wish they would do animation but that costs money and requires talent.

When thinking about how Hollywood doesn't seek out or create Movie Stars anymore. It is interesting to remember Hollywood didn't seek out Harrison Ford.

He had been in American Graffiti. Then while working as a carpenter at George Lucas's offices was asked if he could help run lines for actors auditioning. Only through that did they recognise his talent and consider him for the role of Han Solo.

True, but they still recognized talent, instead of just relying on nepotism. I wish there were more "hungry" young filmmakers willing to take a risk but I think they all drifted to youtube. You used to see excellent fan films that didn't have the money but had passion and creativity.

You mean Anthony Ingruber. He was so good at channeling Harrison Ford that they got him to play a younger version in Age of Adaline.

Glen Powell was doing shitty bit roles in films for years until he decided to go all in on Scientology which led to his big role in Top Gun 2 which also led to him getting starring roles in Twisters, and The Running Man both of which were/will be sleeper hits.

I can't stand Glen Powell. Smug hamster-faced douche. Hit Man was the worst movie I saw last year. And it was Richard Linklater!

But yes, he was good as Not Ice Man.

I saw a thread on Twitter freaking out about a video of him with his arm around Sarah Paulson, which is hilarious because he and Sarah have been besties for 30 years and Sarah always looks like she's holding in a fart.
