Spoiler Free Thoughts on Indiana Jones and the Dial of Destiny

Going in I figured it would be better than Skull but below the OG trilogy. That is what I got. It took till Indy was in Morocco for it to feel like an Indiana Jones movie, but once it hit that it was a ton of fun. Liked Helena and Teddy and thought Mads Mikkelsen was a great villain. I was hoping that the de-aged Indy would only be in the prologue and was happy I was right (he looked great but when he talked you could tell Ford’s age). There is a twist of sorts in the climax that I liked, but I've seen some people say it was a stretch/broke the movie for them. Time travel is in the movie like the trailers say, but is handled way better than i was expecting. Thought it ended on a good note and a respectful one for the character. B+

Bonus:

Every time a new movie releases, conservatives just RUSH to say it's "woke" and "promotes homosexuality/transexuality" etc. And I go HELL YEAH!!!! WE'VE GOT A QUEER MOVIE!!! And every. fucking. time. the "woke" part of the movie is a woman just existing in public.

when I was little, like 4/5/6, I was obsessed with Indiana Jones, and always wanted to play Indiana Jones but I didn't have any of the merch. what I DID have was a revolutionary war-era hat from the franklin institute, so I'd wear that and pretend it was his hat. it didn't fit great and kinda pushed my ears out but that meant I was a pro at keeping it on when practicing the stunts (jumping on furniture and sliding down the stairs). there was like this one weird tree root in my backyard and I was CONVINCED it was a dinosaur fossil and I was always so mad that my parents wouldn't let me dig it up or contact the museum!! and one time while treasure hunting I actually found like, a vintage heavy silver brush/comb/mirror set hidden in the walls in my closet and I was like we have to call the museum NOW people!! (we didn't, I still have them 😂). at some point I learned the word hypothesis and went absolutely wild, and while that didn't necessarily have anything to do with the movies I decided that carrying around my hypothesis notebook on my archeological adventures would show everyone that I was a well-educated woman (the hypothesis' in question were like, 'spot can run faster than a cheetah, and I can run faster than spot' and 'an elephant is probably louder than my boombox, even if I turn the volume all the way up!'😭). and then I was 12 when the fourth movie came out, and as much as I had a crush on Shia LaBeouf's character Mutt, a large part of me was like 'okay but what if everything was the same except Mutt is a 12 year old girl but she dresses exactly the same and still rides a motorcycle and has a pocket knife and she goes by Mutt still but her real name is Henrietta and she still dresses like a greaser but she has pigtails and maybe a cool bandana and also she's Me❤️ (did it make sense for Indy and Marion to have a young teenager? no, but math has never been my strong suit</3). in real life I didn't have a pocket knife bc my girl scouts troop sucked but I looked up YouTube videos about how to do those flip tricks and tried it with a butter knife and it did not end well! so I just flipped my pens around for the rest of the year. anyway basically I think Baby Molly deserved to be in Indiana Jones 5 and it is so so incredibly rude that no one on that production team reached out to me!!!
