Questions

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.

I would caution the reader that the trading value of a card is not necessarily a good predictor of in-game power, as some people totally misunderstand the game mechanics and pay way too much or too little for the cards. I would also caution you not to assume a banned or restricted card to be better than a non-banned or non-restricted card, as even the game developer does not know how to rate cards properly sometimes.
