    your terminology tends to be that of someone aggrieved or affronted.
    guess what those are synonyms for?

    I can't imagine FF or UA liking the Metroid series.

    There are reasons UA does not respect women and is a mysogenist asshole. One of those reasons might be his choice of women who continue to feed his fantasy that all the other women are just hating on him because he is a man, and not because he is a completely toxic asshole. Gee, I wonder who around here could be helping to keep his ego bubble intact while she blows him and pretends he is a real man.

    This is the guy you are getting down on your knees and sucking off while telling him how awesome and manlyt he is so he cums faster and you get less jaw pain from trying to purse your lips so tight around his little manhood. What is wrong with you that you would pretend to be on the side of women while you encourage his bullshit?

    Get over there and on your knees next to your owner you twat. You succumb to that piece of human waste. You have no room to speak as his personal cum dumpster.

    That is probably just roleplaying.

    Having seen Indiana Jones and the Dial of Destiny, I can report that Indy is not shown to be incompetent, weak or evil either. In fact, one has to suspend disbelief that a character who has to be in his 60s or 70s can still outfight, outrace and outthink most people he comes across the way Indy does. Yes, his goddaughter is there and sasses him, but she no more overshadows him than Marian or any of the other female leads.

    More importantly is it worth watching?

    I passed on Crystal Skull. I love the original trilogy and watch one every couple of months (did Last Crusade last week) and don’t want to spoil them with crap.

    I overall enjoyed it. It sounds like you are a way bigger fan of the franchise than I am. I love Raiders and probably have seen it 5-10 times over the years. I've seen Temple and Crusade maybe 3 times apiece. I would probably rate them as:

    1. Raiders by a mile
    2. Crusade
    3. Dial
    4. Temple
    5000th. Skull

    I think it's got good action sequences and moves along nicely. Two areas where I broadly felt like it fell down on the job: too few callbacks to the original trilogy, and too little humor. I think it tried to smooth over Indy's rough edges a little too much as well.

    I rewatched Raiders and started to rewatch Temple just before seeing Dial, and was struck by how awful Willie Scott was and the othering of the Indian villagers etc.

    There's a lot wrong with ToD, but there's a lot right too. Starting with the Anything Goes sequence at the beginning to the raft down the side of a mountain to the "will they/won't they" sequence where Indy and Willie want to bump uglies but want the other to make the first move that turns into an ambush to the mine car chance to giving Short Round a chance to save Indy when Indy because a zombie (in the voodoo sense). Even the rope bridge at the end is great. "Hang on lady, we go for ride!"

    The only thing that bothers me about ToD is it takes place before Raiders and Indy has seen some crazy stuff in that film, the Shiva stones in action, Mola Ram pulling a guy's heart out and it bursting into flames, the aforementioned becoming a zombie, but in Raiders he flat tells Brody he doesn't believe in any of that mumbo jumbo, which doesn't make sense when he's actually seen it first hand.
