Flaws. His whole adventure was pointless. The same thing would have happened to the Nazi's even if he didn't do a damn thing. Who knows without his meddling they may have taken the arc to Hitler, and he would have died also.
what's flawed is this analysis. It was Jones that found the map room and ultimately the Ark. Also, no one knew that what would happen opening the Ark, that's called 20/20 hindsight. You could say he failed, since he found the Ark but the Nazi's took it, but to say it was "pointless" with in the story is just hipster nonsense.

Don't make your self look like a dipshit by using the word "hipster" as some sort of catch all to try and bolster your argument.
and PS
Last Crusade was pointless too b/c the Grail would never have been able to leave. Same for for Crystal Skull. Whoever found the aliens would have been smoked regardless.
The only movie where Indy actually stops shite from going down is Temple of Doom.

I think people are forgetting about one of the common conflicts in these movies: Indiana vs. himself.
Once Indy realized they were looking in the wrong spot, he should have let them be. There is a good chance the Nazis would never have found it; however, Indy's personal NEED/DRIVE to find the artifact eventually leading to the Nazi's obtaining the Ark. So, Indy's action are extremely necessary for the 2nd half of the story to occur.
Also, this same conflict comes to light at the end when he wants to see what is inside the arc, but realizes the ramifications (juxtaposed to the Nazis). He overcomes his need and therefore saves himself and that bitch.
