There's a theory postulated by Amy on Big Bang Theory (I'm sure this isn't the first incident of this) that Indy is also irrelevant to the plot of Raiders.
that has been discussed fo rsure as a movie joke. It is the definition of some and Disney not understandaing the point of a movie.
You could say the same thing whether the invited in the movie Jurassic Park never went to Isla Nublar. Nedry still would have stolen the embryos and messed up security systems and the park would have been a failure.
With Indy, Disney is now like the people who claim the same thing would have happened whether Indy was there or not.
The point of Indy in the original raiders is he is so cocksure and to the point of arrogance of adventure. He goes for it. Even after almost dying. Remember the lines later in the films "I had it. I almost had it in my hands" regardless of all the times he could of died in various ways. Yet at the end, against Belloq, who claims he and Indy are not so different. One push would turn Indy into the way he hunts for treasure ruthlessly.
yet at the end, his knowledge and faith in what is going to happen he tells Marion to close her eyes as he does the same.
The one time Indy humbled himself saved lives and got the Ark out of evil of Germany's hands and in a place with Top Men, whether his or not.
He never gets the treasure.
Rocky Balboa never wins the fight.
Jurassic Park never successfully completes a tour(let's not go on about JW movies)
Toto is still likely to be euthenized.
The big Bang theory had a good joke and it makes for a funny thing to notice, but it is not the point of the film or the main character.
