I understand not wanting to see a pointless sequel, I just don’t get how the original three Indiana Jones films tell some kind of story that was concluded and never needed to be revisited.
It’s not that all three create some sort of big story. It’s that TLC ended in a way that leads the character to a grand sendoff. It was the emotional culmination of the series. So yeah, he never needed to be revisited again.
It’s like if after Star Trek VI, after all the signatures on the screen and everything, they just made another movie with the original cast, and not only that, but what if it was embarrassingly bad-- Oh… wait.
