I honestly didn’t mind the aliens? That movie definitely had its fucking issues but that wasn’t one of them for me. Then again I’m one of the few people who thinks it was at least… Passable I guess? Not the world ending abomination it’s made out to be.
I mean obviously it’s shit compared to the originals but… Could have been a lot worse. It had its moments.
Yeah honestly I could never figure out why people were all up in arms about aliens. Heart ripping mystics, the holy grail, and god exploding Nazis were all realistic enough for you, but aliens were a bridge too far?
I might disagree on that point because any force that hurls a fridge that far will turns its occupants to jelly (much like the first Iron Man suit catering in the desert with Tony inside), but it doesn’t change the fact that realism has never been the point.

It’s not about realism, it’s about consistency. Aliens in the fourth movie after religious mysticism in the first three is tonally and thematically inconsistent with the rest of the series unless you’re actually familiar with the century old pulp serials the movies are a throwback to.

It’s also the plot of the fourth movie
The fridge. I. Just. Idk. I can’t reconcile xD
All my homies hate aliens in Indiana Jones.
Bring back religious mysticism.
Is one more unrealistic for you?
one is more overdone why is realism your thought like what is this assassin’s Creed

Movie was bad, but not because it had aliens.
And of course the constant talk about the fridge which is, to me, just as stupid as jumping out of a crashing plane in a raft.

Oh yeah not saying the fridge isn’t more LETHAL. Just that its…about as stupid from a writing standpoint.

Yeah that 4th movie sucked so bad it somehow ruined the original trilogy for me.
Quite a lot of the Indiana Jones stories are based on real, or at least “real” artifacts.
