Not woke

What exactly did you enjoy of this giant embarrassment?

Marion literally punches Indy in the face in the first scene they share together and she berates and insults him whenever she gets a chance.

Same with Willie in TOD. Except she waits until he has saved her from being burned alive before she actually smacks him across the chops.

There isn't even a whiff of that in this movie (except for - spoilers). Yet we were told by an army of dipshits months before release that nobody should see the movie because it was inevitably full of this kind of thing.

BTW. Virtually no big hollywood films are "woke".

I actually liked CS a bit more than DoD. But I think Ford is acting better in this, especially the boat scene where he talks about Mutt's death. (I made a joke about that before its release but didn't think they'd do it!)

nah, it is

I hear you and I agree to a point, but I think in this case context defines the terms. Indy was a manly take-charge type that had no equal, male or female. He called the shots, and while he may have lost battles he won the wars. In this movie he was rivaled and shown precious little respect by a woman- something new to the series. Recognizing the day and age that this was released (many of us have gotten sick and tired of women period having them pushed on us left, right and center, making certain that the males were shown up, disrespected and emasculated, that is if they are featured at all- MSheU I'm looking at you) and IMO the sensitivity is not out of place as fans want to protect their movie heroes. If we don't want to see fans with this sort of reaction then we need a cease-and-desist on the mass misandry featured in modern media, and if that doesn't come then we need to accept that many will feel that even knee-jerk reactions are perhaps necessary.

It's woke. The Helena character somehow has superpowers. It wasn't enough that she is able to outsmart Indiana and the others but she's also got to be stronger than everyone else too. Just take the punch she inflicted on Indiana right at the end, it knocked him out cold and kept him unconscious for a while. This is a man who has taken punches from all sorts of big guys throughout the 3 previous films and none managed that sort of damage. Even a nuclear bomb couldn't knock him out. But some young and slim 100lb woman can deliver a Francis Ngannou type punch and carry his ass back to the plane with little problem. She probably carried him above her head like a surf board.

Agree, not woke.

Lukewarm, sure.

Sad end to a great character, yeah.

In Last Crusade Indy had to make a choice - whether to reach for the Grail or ‘let it go’ and embrace his dad.

In this some obnoxious bitch punches him in the face and drags him home while he’s unconscious, taking charge of his fate.

Don’t tell me this shit isn’t woke.
