History WMG / IndianaJones

* After he and Mtt meet they'll start fighting over every little thing, because of Mutt's jealousy.

** Another alternative is that they were straight up evil Templars who were working with Donovan the whole time, plotting to get ahold of the Grail, hence why they only ever seriously impeded Indy and never Donovan. By extension Indy has himself become a Templar pawn; at first the Templars wanted to get rid of him to avoid him stumbling onto them, but Joseph McCarthy (face it, definite Templar) decides to simply promise a revocation of that blacklist if he continues to gather artifacts for (what Indy assumes is) the US government.

--> ''Indie catches a glimpse of young Hellboy, who's been tailing him unseen''
--> '''Indie''': What was that?

Indy didn't care for her -- he certainly doesn't spend much time mourning her death -- and yet she says of spending the night with him, "I'll never forget how wonderful it was."

* Alternatively, the Grail Knights are a splinter faction of the Templars who want nothing more to do with the Assassin-Templar conflict and simply guard a holy artifact.

* Then some other Nazi with more common sense shows up instead and WW2 changes drastically, with either good or bad results in the long run. good being the soviet union falls apart, then allies defeat via invasion from the Mediterranean instead of d-day, which leads to no cold war and democracy in most nations of the world because Stalin will be in no position to demand the eastern European nations, or support communist china, or creating north Korea, leading to the U.S. not feeling the need to install dictators in power, leading to slow development of democracies instead of rushing to put in something that can fight a war. that, or they get nukes and the world is devastated by nuclear war.

* According to TheOtherWiki, it's ''Hangar 51'', no relation to the RealLife Area 51.

* All the more likely since the new ''Film/CasinoRoyale'' essentially canonized the idea that "James Bond" is a moniker attached to the 007 rating. The odds of Indy sharing genes with any one of an untold number of past 007 agents are not small...
** Sorry, no, Film/CasinoRoyale2006 didn't "essentially canonize" that idea; it {{Jossed}} it all to hell. He's called James Bond before he's given his 00 status.
*** Really belongs more on the WMG/JamesBond WMG page, but...it only {{Jossed}} the idea that the Bond identity is attached to the 007 number automatically. It did NOT Joss, and in fact strongly indicated, that "James Bond" is a cover identity (hence M's "when I knew you were you" line.") All of which goes along with other little hints like Lazenby's "This never happened to the other fellow." So (to tie this back in) Indy's Dad has a Scottish cousin who becomes the first James Bond.

Ok, Ok, stay with me here. Indiana was poisoned right at the beginning of the film. He then supposedly survived a plane crash, fought people who could pull still-beating hearts from the chests of their victims and was followed around by the whiniest, stupidest female in Jone's history. The events of Temple of Doom were a poison dream that Indy had before he got the antidote. He woke up in America, and went on with his life and the last crusade. Taken this way, the other movies make more sense....they are all about Indy's family. The first one is aobut him and the love of his life, the second about his father, and the the third about the third generation and Indy being reunited with Marion. makes perfect sense. (yeah yeah, but this is WMG, after all!)
* One thing: "Temple of Doom" was set ''before'' "Raiders of the Lost Ark." This actually makes the above troper's "family arc" theory more plausible in that this was Indy's life before he cemented his relationship with Marion. "Temple of Doom" provides us a look at Indy's "swingin' single" days, and why he gave them up.

* A proposed book, which would have been authorized by [=LucasFilm=], would have tied the mythos of ''Film/THX1138'', ''Main/AmericanGraffiti'', ''StarWars'', and ''Indiana Jones'' together.

Besides the similar appearance, they both are willing to give knowledge. The imagery of Spalko being absorbed is similar to a cut scene from [=CE3K=] in which Richard Dreyfuss entered the spacecraft.
* If ''Indy'' and ''AmericanGraffiti'' are set in the same universe (as a theory above suggests), does that mean Curt Henderson and Roy Neary are the same person?

* Then some other Nazi with more common sense shows up instead and ww 2 changes drastically, with either good or bad results in the long run. good being the soviet union falls apart, then allies defeat via invasion from the mediteranian instead of d-day, which leads to no cold war and democracy in most nations of the world because stalin will be in no postition to demand the eastern european naitons, or support communist china, or creating north korea, leading to the U.S. not feeling the need to install dictators in power, leding to slow develpoment of democracies instead of rushing to put in something that can fight a war. that, or they get nukes and the world is devistated by nuclear war.

* His dad is played by SeanConnery, who was the original Film/JamesBond.

* All the more likely since the new "Casino Royale" essentially canonized the idea that "James Bond" is a moniker attached to the 007 rating. The odds of Indy sharing genes with any one of an untold number of past 007 agents are not small...

[[WMG: The Brothers of the Cruciform Sword from ''Last Crusade'' are [[AssassinsCreed Assassins]]]]

[[WMG: Alternately, Indy is a distant cousin of [[TheLeagueOfExtraordinaryGentlemen Alan Quatermain]].]]

* A [[IrregularWebcomic famous person on the internet]] agrees with you, it ''must'' be true!

*** More confirmation in March 2016. However, there are no plans for Shia LeBeouf to return

*** So Shia LeBeouf is James Bond?

* Indy from the TV series ''TheYoungIndianaJonesChronicles'' wore an eyepatch. His eye was lost in an [[NoodleIncident unspecified event]].

*** Alternately, Dr. Jones Sr. faked his death and went into hiding to prevent word from getting out that he's immortal, just in case any [[THeMenInBlack Top Men]] decide to [[TheyWillCutYouUp cut him up]]. Either Indy is playing along to protect his father, or genuinely doesn't know.

[[WMG: Temple of Doom was All a Dream]]

This was forwarded by a non-canonical but Main/LucasFilm-authorized ''StarWars'' comic.

* A proposed book, which would have been authorized by [=LucasFilm=], would have tied the mythos of ''{{THX-1138}}'', ''Main/AmericanGraffiti'', ''StarWars'', and ''Indiana Jones'' together.

[[WMG: Indy started carrying two guns after Temple Of Doom]]

[[WMG: The SecretGovernmentWarehouse at the end of ''Raiders'' isn't Area51.]]

[[WMG: Twilight Sparkle and Timon from "Disney/TheLionKing" are incarnations of Indy.]]
Ex. 1: Twilight Sparkle hates snakes.

[[WMG: "The space between spaces" is an inadvertent verbal BrownNote.]]
That would explain people's irrational hatred of that line, and their inability to explain their hate beyond vague bull that doesn't answer the question, like, "Well, it's proof of what a horrible screenwriter Lucas has become."
