In order to have a truly great hero, you first need a great flaw with an even better journey to overcome it. Dive deep with a college-level study of one such hero.
Yesterday a reader and content creator named Jay Sherer reached out to That Park Place writer WDW Pro with an amazing video detailing what made the most successful Indiana Jones movies click. It turns out that in order to have an awesome hero’s journey, you need a journey worth taking. All the McGuffins in the world won’t save a story that lacks a great character with a big problem they don’t yet know how to overcome. It’s a major reminder for what secret ingredient is necessary if Indiana Jones 5 is ever to be successful.
Maybe this is why Temple of Doom is seldom discussed along with the other trilogy leaders. It’s at least a part of why Crystal Skull is so bad — although there are a ton of other reasons is that cornucopia of crap. Swinging CGI monkeys come to mind.
So Pro sent this video over our way and said we needed to feature it. I can’t agree more. It’s fantastic. Grab a coffee, sit back, relax and enjoy an intellectual exploration of just what makes Indiana Jones such an awesome character in the movies that handle him best.

If Disney wants Star Wars to have a heartbeat then I have the stories to serve as the defibrillator and Disney need only hire me to get Lucasfilm back on track. The cinema is where Star Wars belongs and then branches elsewhere.
P.S. If Chapek hires me it will be his success for his risk. If Kennedy hires me while people will say plenty about her on the way out they will say at the end at least she hired me to bring Star Wars back. I call Kennedy a Jonah but even Jonah came around in the end.
Why hire me Disney easy you have been drawing from a poison well, so hiring a no body who would rather remain obscure is a good thing it shouldn’t draw too much attention.
Second we keep our mouths shut until fans are ambushed by an announcement of a film in production quietly and a few months from release. Because Star Wars films should build hype over a shorter time span and be paid off to fans in short order.
Third keep the budget between 75 to 150 million without p and a included for a 90 to less than 120 minute film.
Only the first Indiana Jones was memorable. The second had the heart removal scene and monkey brains. While the third with Sean Connery wasn’t bad, there was this subplot that the father and son both had affairs with the same woman. Yuk. Then the last movie was a bust. Survive a nuclear blast in a refrigerator. The completely unconvincing fight scenes on moving vehicles. They needed to reboot it with Chris Pratt who is probably the best choice to take the role.
