....Does anyone ever think about how people got so mad and butthurt over ‘Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull’ and complained and tore apart the ‘the treasure was an alien technology/aliens themselves’?

...While ignoring the fact ‘Star Wars’ was Lucasfilms like main franchise?

...Or the fact the older movies had fucking Christian artifacts when we pretty much know those are just a Roman religious cult’s myths? And that said artifacts HAD MAGIC POWERS?

But no, it was the aliens that were too ‘unrealistic’ and ‘stupid’. What the hell...

#sudden thought popped into my head #and that was the main compliant I remember about the film at the time #some other things might have been the campiness (which has always been there) or whatever #but like gawd damn people were so upset about the alien thing #and the thing was: I watched that movie with my parents when it came out and it was very entertaining #then combine that with watching the original films AFTERWARDS and not being Christian (too smart for it mom says) I'm just #'WHAT THE FUCK PEOPLE??' The alien route was better than the fucking golden grail (even though watching the Nazis getting their face melted #was perfect 10/10) or the racist Temple of Doom bullshit #indiana jones #none of the indiana jones movies were perfect but they were fun AND met the criteria of the films from the 30s and 40s they were trying to p #ay homage to; so why that one specifically? IDK it was stupid then and stupid now; let things be fun and stupid geez
