And supposing age plays a major role in the story? What then?
See, this whole "he's too old" shit has been going on for over ten years, and frankly, I think everyone should reserve judgment until they see the final product.
Not very surprising since alot of the wankers on here prefer Star Wars over Indiana Jones. There are a few who like both and some who prefer Indy Jones slightly over Star Wars. I am the latter. There's far too much Star Wars merchandise as it is. Enough already. And quit your bitching until you actually see something.

I'm pretty sure you're being facetious, but just in case...
It's doubtful considering Lucas & McCallum have had their paws all over the YIJC travesty and editing everything out to suit their current tastes. I know, I know, hard to believe Lucas would tinker.
What bothered me most about the series was the insistence that every Goddamned week Young Indy had to meet some historical figure. Now, it seems to be carrying over to the new movie, with apparently an appearance by Albert Einstein, but that's a rumour...

In that video, the crowds reaction is funny. When he says he is going to tell the title the crowd gets really loud, but when he reveals the title the crowd doesn't get near as loud. That title is too long. It needs to be something simple and interesting. Kingdom of the Crystal Skulls sounds like it could be the name of a jewlery shop in New York.

Seeing as how the crowd was at the VMAs, I don't put to much weight into their reaction. They are not the Indiana Jones crowd. They're the MTV crowd. They haven't been waiting years for a fourth movie and could probably care less.
Now if that had been the reaction at Comic-Con, I'd be in agreement with you. Since it was the VMAs, I could care less what kind of reaction those people had. More than likely, they won't be in line for the first showing and they may not even be in line for the opening weekend. They most definitely won't see it more than once, even if it is a really good movie. They'll probably rent it from Netflix after it comes out on DVD and burn themselves a single layer copy with no extras. To put it simply, they do not care and I hope the movie isn't targeting them. They are the "Jack Ass" crowd that isn't interested in a good movie, merely in throwing their money at Hollywood for their next fix.
So let's not judge the movie based on that crowds reaction to the title.
Kingdom of the Crystal Skull... ouch! Feels like something out of an episode of the old Ewok cartoons. Temple of Doom was cool enough of a name, Raiders of the Lost Ark was great, and The Last Crusade had a nice ring to it, but Kingdom of the Crystal Skull????? Does it feel like it belongs on the shelf with Raiders of the Lost Ark, Temple of Doom, and The Last Crusade? Or does it feel like it belongs in a box under the bed beside other titles like The Phantom Menace, The Attack of the Clones, and The Revenge of the Sith? Goodness, Philip K. Dick himself could come up with a better title than Kingdom of the Crystal Skull. When I read that was the title I really hoped you guys were just making fun and that the title had not been anounced yet.
I'm assuming maybe it will grow on me eventually, but, blech! Honestly, it's only a single syllable longer than Raiders of the Lost Ark, but for some reason, that flows while this just trips over the tongue like a guy on roller skates falling down the stairs. Come to think of it, though, Raiders of the Lost Ark almost sounds bad when you try to retcon the Indiana Jones title in front of it. Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull. Just a touch too long, a touch too difficult. Still, not nearly as bad and convoluted as "Star Wars Episode III: Revenge of the Sith."

Not that that is going to stop you from dreaming… Only in this case, Gaffer is actually a guy.
