I can't see why anybody would consider Lost Crusade to be a poor movie.
THE LAST CRUSADE isn't a poor movie. It's just a mediocre movie. Tonally, it's all wrong. RAIDERS OF THE LOST ARK definitely had moments of humor, but it also had thrills, adventure, genuine scares, emotion, and some pretty dark moments.
THE LAST CRUSADE was a comedy. Indie's Scottish caricature and screaming about "the tapestries." Marcus Brody is just a clown. Nazis acting like Keystone Cops. It was an Indiana Jones movie with very little tension because it was more concerned with hijinks than drama. I just don't want hijinks in an Indiana Jones movie.

I don't agree with that at all. It was my favorite of the series.
Why anyone has any interest at all in The Adventures of 80-Year-Old Indiana Jones is beyond me.
But then, it's long been clear that a studio could slap the term Indiana Jones - or Star Wars, or Terminator, or Rocky, or [insert any random superhero name here] - on 90 minutes of footage of paint drying, and it would sell millions of tickets.

It’s interesting that Indians Jones is going with the sequel route, rather than a reboot. The Jurassic World trilogy also technically consists of sequels, but features a new cast, except for the last one. Perhaps Indiana Jones should follow that path, with Harisson Ford having a limited role, akin to Luke, Han and Leia in the Star Wars sequel trilogy (not going to argue about the quality of those). It’s already been 14 years since the last one came out.

To me it's one of those roles that a particular actor "owns", so to speak.

I just want to be enertained. Entertain me and I could care less regarding specifics. I won't want to be lectured. I don't want politics or political correctness. I don't want mindless CGI with no plot. Just entertain me and I don't care if the protagonist is an 80 year old man or a puppy.
Make if fun or funny or suspenseful, and don't cheat me or insult my intelligence, and don't interject real life crap like politics.
I am an escapist. I just want to go into my own little word for a couple of hours.
Harrison Ford is a giant douche. An old crotchety douche that hates his fans and is only looking for $$$ and to stay relevant.
He killed off Han Solo in those worthless idiotic Star Wars messes. Now he wants to kill off Indiana Jones. What a douche.
There was a lookalike actor who could reprise the Indiana Jones character and have the adventures set again in the 1930s. He played a younger Ford character in a flashback in that movie about a woman that never ages. So just let Ford grovel at the feet of Hollywood souless producers and make an ass out of himself. Thats how he'll be remembered.
