    This does look like a fun one! But even though I am enjoying these (well except for the first one) will we be going to these Strange New Worlds soon?

    For one, I don't see their characters being all about that and nothing else. In Crystal Skull we find out that Indy had a son and that was a dynamic for drama not just between him and Mutt, but Indy and Marion as well. Was the possibility there? Yes, with Mutt especially. C'mon, the hat rolling right to his feet..? But the way it under performed put the kibosh on that. I just don't see it with Helena, certainly not on screen. Again, is the possibility there too? Yes, but there was not one scene (that I recall) where it shows her as being positioned to take up his mantle. In fact, she walks off screen with the others and Indy grabs up his hat again before credits roll. So in just watching the movie, no it was not obvious. As for my idea. there was nothing in that to suggested establishing 'a new bearer of the "Indy" brand...' How do you get that from one vague sentence? I just think it would have been a fun idea and nice story to watch. Almost 'shades of Short Round,' seeing Indy having to deal with an energetic ten year old on a world-spanning adventure. Think of a cross between Indy and the Goonies. As for 'Disney sitting on an IP worth billions,' considering the poor run of both Crystal and Dial even they have to realize they should let the it rest now and make something new if they want to continue with similar adventures.

    Still liking the look of this!

    Oh please, let this be true!! I've been waiting a long while. Heck, I still have the movie poster on my wall!

    With @Tking22 on this. There was a fanart done with Pratt as Han Solo and it looked awesome! I think a recast could have been done, and done well, such as the Mummy idea. 'Indian Jones and the Curse of the Mummy!" But they never did that, and Crystal Skull cemented Old Indy back under the hat. I have no idea what was said on social media from the producer or directors or actors about what was intended. Again, I don't follow social media and I count myself blessed with that wise choice. Most people would probably be better off ignoring social media and all the krup on it. As to her being his god-daughter, I think it was just that. They wanted a close pairing with the female lead and Harrison is way too old for audiences to accept a sexual relationship with a woman so young. Heck, I think they were pushing it with Elsa in Last Crusade as she was half his age! An idea I had for a movie after Crystal Skull came out would have been Indy going on adventure with a granddaughter! That could have been fun!

    Though I wouldn't mind that, I usually go with what I see on screen and ignore all the other krup that comes along, either for or against. Most often than not, what is hyped hardly makes it onto the screen and has very little impact within the story itself.

    And yet nothing in the movie shows her 'trying to take over.' There's no point near the end where Indy's hat falls at her feet. To me she came off as exactly what she was, the female lead.

    Re-testing supersonic air travel. Trying to break the Mach barrier without (or minimizing) the sonic boom.

    Sure thing! I had the same thing when I built up my old Bandai Andromeda years ago, though in reverse. The one I made was too large (on the right) so I had to make a smaller one. Rather than pulling the old one off and risk doing any damage, you could just build up the new one around it.

    Dude, I love how this is looking! It does look like it came right off of the show. And what's nice is that you can barely tell the base model for the build. If you'll take a suggestion, make the front under hull scoop half again larger

    My last favorite was Frontier, though I liked Delta well enough. Excited to hear that they are in the works for another and as long as it is Kawamori I am sure to be entertained! What I would LOVE though, would be for them to redo all of the visuals for the original series. Keep the music and voice work, but the visuals have not aged well at all. Maybe for the next anniversary,,,?🙏

    I'd have to agree, at least on the battloid version. In aircraft mode the VF-4 has the best look, hands down, while its battloid looks super chunky and unwieldy.

    A great addition to Star Fleet @derex3592!

    I'm still waiting for the tailless bomber version of the F-22.

    A couple B-17s have been cleared after a mandatory grounding of the surviving Forts. Sally B, Sentimental Journey passed their inspections. The grounding came around April, after an inspection of Aluminum Overcast found that its wing had shifted by 2 inches at one of its attachment points.

    Solid episode this week. Really enjoyed that one.

    Any know of the Pre-Orders or release dates for the 1/1400 End-D and its decals sheets?

    Intersting to not that Connery was 59 when he was in Last Crusade and Ford, taking into account de-aging and body doubles. is 80.

    That's my only gripe with the story. For some reason, 4 and 5 had to have Indy at his lowest, when all the previous movies showed him getting along just fine. Sure, the character was getting older and they wanted to show how you start losing more than you get as you go along, a good scene by the way, but doing it twice in a row was too easy to do, esp if you want to force 'drama.'
