Disney spent more than $300M on the new Indiana Jones movie and it's going about exactly as you expected it would

I love his Youtube channel. Nerdrotic and Critical Drinker are my favorites to watch for movie reviews. I also heard that Kathleen Kennedy might finally get the boot if Indiana Jones and the Dial of Discentary does poorly. Let’s hope that happens. Anyone else hear of that happening?

She humiliated his Star Wars character before killing him off. She wrote him as a broken man, a guy who ran away, a guy who has a mary sue girl fix and fly the Falcon better than he does.

She humiliated his character in Indy, the franchise character, with multiple endings of this movie killing off his character, and one making it so thathe never even existed at all. She wrote him as a broken man, a guy who gets schooled by a woke mary sue b1tch character who snarks at him the entire movie, and punches him in the face at the end.

Not a surprise. Most hollywood actors are liberals.

Overlord DVD, #Doomcock, is THE reason this movie didn’t turn out infinitely worse. He reported through leaks from Lucasfilm/Disney what they originally planned to do, and there was such an uproar they had to do much rework to change the ending to be more palatable to audiences.

No, they could have salvaged it if Kathleen wasn’t in charge. It wouldn’t have been Raiders but it could have given him a good sendoff.

Kathleen humiliates and tears down existing characters in order to try to get her own characters to replace them. So far its failed horribly. They are unlikeable characters, and no one connects to them like the originals, because they spend so much time ripping the original characters up and down. Particularly the male characters. Luke. Han. Indy.

> they’ll lose money but make it up in ESG credits <

You might be on to something. A guy I know is a wetlands credits broker (not kidding). Say you want to build on a wetland. You’ve got to buy wetlands credits first. These credits are sold by someone who owns a wetland somewhere. When selling credits to you, the seller promises to leave his wetlands alone forever.

So why not broker ESG credits? You want to make a movie praising Trump? Well, okay. But first you have to buy ESG credits from someone, maybe someone who just made a film praising Michelle Obama.

Yes, I think I’m going to start a business brokering ESG credits. It would be a sure thing.

Yes, in China they will decree that every person will go to the theater three times each and view the film. Or go to a gulag with the Muslims and Christian dissidents.

Maybe Lucas will let her take a whack at American Graffiti before she goes.

My wife and I enjoyed it,,I saw nothing “woke” in the entire movie.We might even see it again.It had characters from the earlier movies and the action/chase scenes reminded us of the early movies.
Are you watching it yourselves or just making up crap?
Great Film,Hope they make another.

Lucas despises her, but she despised him first. He only despises her because of her lies to him and what she has done to his characters and stories.

How much shareholder value are they going to let Kathleen Kennedy destroy?

Does she have a pic of Bob Iger with a farm animal or something? She must. She has the Sadim touch. Everything she touches turns to chit.....yet they just keep handing one valuable property after another to her to ruin.
