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.

Still, would it have been so bad to put "1937" at the beginning of TOD instead of "1935"?
