Remember that it's not entirely his fault. Indy has a terrible weakness for trusting nice people too much, and more than once, his "friends" turned on him.
Also keep in mind that he's in competition with evil treasure-hunters and Nazis searching for artifacts to please their Fuhrer (which was something they actually did in real life, if the Spear of Destiny story is anything to go by).
The final factor is that some of the artifacts he recovered were too dangerous to be put in a museum, or for humanity to even know about their existence, such as the Ark of the Covenant or the Holy Grail. There's a reason he had to leave the grail behind and why the US govt. hid the Ark away in a warehouse that was difficult to navigate.
Also keep in mind that Indiana Jones is actually very good at retrieving artifacts. The problem is, we only get to hear about the controversial, dangerous ones, not the ones he successfully stocked in museums over in Europe and America. Those stories probably aren't as much fun because he didn't have to deal with the same drama and action as the ones we see in the movies. Part of the reason the Indiana Jones films are fun is because of all the action scenes and the drama going on between him and the bad guys trying to take the artifacts for themselves.
I can tell you right now that compared to Indy, most archeologists have extremely boring jobs in the real world. Very few ever experienced the kind of fun and action Indiana did, and nobody has ever found an artifact (that we know of) that truly had supernatural powers attributed to it.
McAvoy is cuter.
Preferably one with rubber walls and strong orderlies.
Pardon me, but what is a state contract? What is it used for? And why must the individual states pledge allegiance to Israel? Isn't that more of a diplomacy thing for Washington D.C. to do?
It's easier just to talk about video games, animals, engineering, traveling to exotic locations, fun historical facts, or just talking shit about Meghan Markle. My fave subreddit is "SaintMeghanMarkle," lol. It's a parody subreddit that's fun to visit at times >:)
If it is, they must be very bored with monitoring X, Tiktok, and Facebook right now. This site is kind of off the beaten path in terms of cyberspace.
Can we go storm another terrorist fortress again? I had fun last time, and you were awesome with your axes and scaring the shit out of them.
He's mostly just stupid. He's evil, but even when he was young and in control of his faculties, his stupidity outweighed any evil he had to offer the few times he was awake at his job in the Senate. He strikes me as the incompetent minion, if he were to be categorized in a tv trope way.
He's the kinda guy who will happily be the butt boy of someone smarter and more evil than he is, and screw up over and over again while getting his ass kicked by his boss repeatedly. And like a good, stupid minion, he'll take the abuse and try hard to please whatever master is willing to tolerate him, rather than think for himself and stand up to them.
First off, you can't control what people are thinking about. People are gonna have their thoughts go wherever they want within the privacy of their own minds.
If someone is telling you that you "aren't allowed" to think a certain way, you gotta ask yourself, "How much does this person love to control others?" Usually people like that are not people you want to hang out with, because they stink of being control-freaks.
People can think any way they want. Whether it's right or wrong is dependent on the subject and the situation involved.
I'm not Indiana Jones' dad. He's dead.
