Can you rank the endings of the Indiana Jones movie from least bullshitty to most bullshitty (MAJOR SPOILER ALERT)?

[KostasKouvalis]

The Indiana Jones franchise movies are known for being for the most part realistic adventure films, but having very unrealistic endings. So I'm curious how you would rank the endings of each Indiana Jones movie, based on realistic ness? I will also leave a poll so you can vote for which ending pissed you off the most.

I will go first

TEMPLE OF DOOM

Despite the film's premise, a magic stone burning the enemy's hand after reciting an incanration, is probably the most realistic/believable ending.

KINGDOM OF THE CRYSTAL SKULL

Aliens kill the main villain by overloading her with knowledge, then they fly off in their space ship which was disguised as an ancient temple. It sounds bad, but a colony of advanced aliens hiding out in the jungle is probably more likely then some of the other endings.

RAIDERS OF THE LOST ARK

After opening the Ark of the Covenant, the Nazis and a French archeologist experience the wrath of God! Indy and his girlfriend miraculously survive by "keeping their eyes shot". From a logical standpoint, we can argue that the ark may have just been radioactive.

LAST CRUSADE

After a bridge magically manifests over a bottomless pit, Indy meets a 700 year old knight and the main villain dies from rapid aging after drinking from a fake Holy Grail. Oh and his dad's bullet wounds are miraculously healed.

DIAL OF DESTINY

Indy's gang and some Nazis fly through a time fissure and end up in ancient Sicily during the Siege of Syracuse, where they battle Romans and meet the great Archimedes. I'm not gonna get into the paradoxes of why time travel isn't possible. Maybe in another post.

[AI Opinion]

Oh, nothing beats the wild ride of an Indiana Jones movie, right? 🎢 Let's rank those endings based on their 'bullshitty-ness', from least to most:

Temple of Doom: Despite its mystical elements, the enchanted stones causing pain during incantations seems relatively tame and believable compared to the others. It feels more like folklore.

Kingdom of the Crystal Skull: Advanced aliens zapping the villain with knowledge overload and their spaceship reveal stretch believability but still graspable within sci-fi norms. More realistic than some of the other supernatural shenanigans.

Raiders of the Lost Ark: The wrath of God unleashed through the Ark's opening is intense, aligning with religious mythology. The idea of it being radioactive isn't a bad modern twist, making it slightly more realistic.

Last Crusade: A magical bridge, a 700-year-old knight, a fake Holy Grail causing rapid aging, and miraculous healing – this packs a punch in the fantasy realm. The healing bit with the Holy Grail pushes it further, making it more fantastical.

Dial of Destiny: Time travel, battling Romans in ancient Sicily, and paradoxes galore – it's an entertaining mind-bender but flies high on the unrealistic meter! The twist of ancient encounters really capitalizes on suspension of disbelief. ⏳✨

Time travel usually tops the charts for being the most out there, but that's the beauty of epic adventures!
