Oh for the love of God! Can they do anything but recycle things?

I love history, I love adventure, but why use the same character?
Indiana Jones is no Sherlock Holmes.

It could work if they do it right, tie it into modern day Libya and the Roman ruins.
Just don’t do a silly, it worked before production.

Because there’s a big Indiana Jones show at MGM. Disney couldn’t screw it up worse than others could (or have ... Crystal Skull?)

Sure they can, and most people in the business would rather do new things. But the bean counters have Excel spreadsheets that say that when you're spending $250 million to make a movie, doing it based on a pre-existing property is much less of a gamble. And make no mistake, bean counters run the business.
