Disney is apparently in panic mode and have shot SIX DIFFERENT ENDINGS, yet all of them are bombing and audiences hate the film. Apparently early movie critics and insiders hate the films as well.

And to top things off... This happens:




**MASSIVE SPOILERS BELOW**
















quote:

Allegedly the storyline begins in the 1960s with Indiana Jones and his goddaughter Helena, played by Phoebe Waller-Bridge.

Apparently, they go back in time via a portal at Stonehenge to both the Roman era (as seen in set photos) and to the 1930s during the time of the original films.

There old Indy meets young Indy and in one of six different endings both are killed off before Phoebe takes up the hat and whip as a female incarnation of the character – or at least one who takes up the mantle as a sort of Lara Croft.





More here a our Disney panicking, even after delaying the film by a year... LINK


This:







To this!

If those spoilers are true, I have to give them credit. No matter how low I set the bar on my expectations, they manage to limbo under that sum bitch every time.

It's Disney. I expect nothing less now. It's so on brand with dogshit, it has to be true.

Disney is out to intentionally ruin any beloved display of traditional male heroicism.

They do not care if it bombs or is criticized. I think that should be evident now. This is a long term mission of social engineering that has spilled off their atrocious Disney Channel kids programming into the mainstream. If you hate it, they love it. They own the IP and they'll let your last look be them pissing on it before they shove it into cold storage for good.

Unnecessary gender or race swap? Check
Horrific premise? Check
Poor execution of plot? Check
Guaranteed to upset existing fans? Check

It passes all the Disney criteria, leaks are real.

The new indy is apparently modeled as the not so marvelous Ms Dora the smug explorer

This isn’t all that uncommon in films that turn out to be great, but I hope this is true because making another Indiana Jones film was a colossally dumb idea.

Disney's stock lost 11% total value in a single day this week.

Wakanda Forever is also going to underperform at the Box office and they have nowhere wo how forward with Black Panther the franchise, which also now has.... Wait for it.... A Female lead!

Disney will be undoubtedly be the last rat on the poison ship, but at some point they will have to change course (especially if WB gets a traditional IP , traditional film setup back in action). If they don't they will go bankrupt by supporting such shite product.

I will say that I’m not sure I trust that anonymous report. The director has made a ton of really good movies. Not saying he can’t lay a stinker, but he should be good enough to direct a competent movie

If that spoiler is true, it makes Kingdom of the Crystal Skull canon. That’s how bad that sounds.

I will NEVER watch it

Y’all thought Crystal Skull was bad? You ain’t seen nothing yet.

Like with Star Wars, Disney is going to make us long for the days of Lucas. The end of Indy will be difficult for me to watch.

On the other hand, I don’t doubt Disney’s capability to ruin Indy but I wonder if this comes from the same people who always pedal stuff like Kathleen Kennedy getting fired when that never has and never will happen.

Unless it's a Delorean, a cop who tracks criminals in time or endgame, time travel movies usually suck.

And then they go and let an accomplished filmmaker with a long track record like Tony Gilroy helm some projects like Rogue One and Andor, and produce some of the best content in Star Wars history.

And in this case, James Mangold is an even more accomplished film maker. But we’ll go ahead an believe some weird YouTuber who wears and mask and uses a voice modulator whose whole schtick is to be outraged about everything and make up a bunch of untrue stuff.

And for anyone that cares, that website has been sunshine pumping this film.

We’ve been told out of the six endings they tested, the best one gets a 35 per cent approval from test audiences. We’ve been told that Bridge puts the hat on in every ending.”
