I certainly hope they don't decide to do any more prequels set before ROTLA*. It was bad enough when they made TOD a prequel; any more encounters with supernatural/paranormal phenomena at a time when Indy's supposed to be a firm skeptic would be outright inane.

*Unless said prequels eschewed any overt, direct exposure to the supernatural/paranormal. In that case I wouldn't mind more pre-Raiders prequels.

The great thing about the Indiana Jones franchise is that I never had to contend with inconsistencies in plot. These are not meant to be viewed as a single threaded plot running thru the entire franchise like Marvel is currently trying to do or that Star Wars did.

Indy flicks are one-off adventures. You can bounce from one point in time to another. Let's not over complicate the thing. I think of these films as a re-telling of random stories from an adventurers life. Fans of more 'serious' franchises tend to want to view the series as a historical chain of events that must maintain logical consistency. I dont want to turn Indy into something for which we have to put our serious faces on.
