I’m tickled pink by “Shia LaBeouf as new Indiana Jones didn’t happen after we tried to make it happen” resulting in a character’s child dying before them offscreen in the follow-up LOOOOOL they straight up ended that characters life. Is it even possible to watch Crystal Skull now knowing that Mutt dies tragically young in the very next instance?
How many films do we really have where a plucky new hero didn’t work and in the next installment they’re straight up deceased. Like…. doesn’t Crystal Skull end with Shia picking up Indy’s hat?!?!?! bahahahahaha and then the next time the character is referred to he died young. That’s grisly.
And in case you don’t want to watch a video for something that was barely an article idea, Mutt died in the war he enlisted in to “spite his dad.” Indy is actually really broken up about it and it basically destroyed his marriage.
When I first start visiting the website in the early 2000s (college years) I lived in a shoebox type apartment where I was often to lazy to throw on my headphones yet didn’t wanna make noise from my computer. Call me a creature of habit but I’ve never watched a videoclip on the AV club for well over a decade. I appreciate the effort I just don’t know who they’re for. I’ll read slideshow before I watch a videoclip *ducks for cover*
What happened is that Shia is a toxic asset, and Mutt Williams wasn’t a particularly well-liked character from a fairly maligned sequel. So, they weren’t going to include him under any circumstance.But being that he’s Indy’s son, they had to say something. And since the movie’s set in 1969, the motivated options were “trampled at Woodstock” or “died in ‘Nam.”
Not enough people know this. It’s very good for it’s intended audience. It’s just too bad the studio threw tentpole money at it and that’s why it’s scoring negative.
It’s actually even worse than the reviews. I get the feeling that people in this site are for some reasons defending Disney productions beyond any logical reason, like it’s ideological. Or maybe they are paid. But no it’s horrible.
It’s not. It’s good. It’s very enjoyable. I get the feeling that people on the internet are for some reasons shitting on anything related to Disney beyond any logical reason. In fact, I know that’s the case. It’s definitely ideological.
They turned that into such a workable emotional moment for the new film LOL I swear ever since the moment I realized that Shia LaBeouf was the son who died offscreen that he’s referring to I’ve been laughing my ass off. This is friggin hilarious. And it WORKED in the film ahhahahahahahahahahahaha

“Mutt died on the way back to his home planet”
The video makes that joke, too.
I never can get these videos to play on my system to be honest. Clicking the play button does nothing for me.
You’re not missing anything!
if no one watches the video it doesn’t get joke credit
basically hahahaha

I guess they didn’t live happily ever after at the end of Crystal Skull lmao
He picked up the hat then had it snatched away by Indy.

Thanks for doing the AV Clubs job for them.
Thanks for doing the AV Clubs job for them. Someone has to.
Thank you! These video ‘articles’ are even worse than the hated slideshows.

Wait a second…you’re not in middle-school right now? You’re an ADULT?!?!?!?!Jesus….
I often secretly read these at work, it would be much too obvious to watch a video next to my colleagues 😀
Wair, this ‘article’s is nothing but a spoiler from the fucking movie?

Trampled at Altamont? Or do the dates not work?
He could have been a POW. At least give Indy *some* hope.

Go see the movie. It’s actually pretty good, better than the reviews its getting.

Not sure why the budget is affecting the reviews…..?

I’ll probably watch it on D+ when I’m hungover one day but I don’t really have any desire to pay to see it in a theater.
No thank you. I saw Crystal Skull. I don’t need to see this until it’s on D+

I assume that Shia LaBeouf isn’t in it because they couldn’t find a caterer willing to handle his dietary needs.
because he’s a dogshit
