After watching _Everything Everywhere All At Once_ I can say that the return of Ke Huy Quan would elevate an IJ film far more than the return of Shia LeBoeuf.

It really is a terrible title. And I agree that the fact that they’ve gone with such a terrible title does not bode well for the film itself.

I still miss _The Young Indiana Jones Chronicles_ - still the same OTT action interspersed with world events and famous people (like _Forrest Gump_ with more punching) but with better writing and fewer ludicrous Macguffins. I’d rather see a more measured Netflix series starring Ford (maybe six episodes’ worth) than yet another “Indie goes in search of another magic item while fighting off villains too silly for Bond films, whose heads melt at the end” film.
