I think Mutt says "Daddy O" or something. Any time an actor that isn't in a film from the 50-60s says that, it sounds wrong.
I haven't watched Kingdom, but personally, the notion of surviving an improbable fall vs. surviving A NUCLEAR ****ING BOMB are different by orders of magnitude that my brain simply can't ignore.
That's GL's baby. Steven's sin was finally giving into it. But George wasn't going to let it get made any other way.If they just left the whole Aliens thing out of it, it would probably have been remembered with much higher regard. That decision is one of the few fails that can be attributed to the great Steven Spielberg.

The first three Mcguffins are truly magical. Humans connecting to the divine.
In Crystal Skull it looks like the same thing is happening, but it turns out they are not divine they are aliens. Magic has been exchanged for technology.
Also, I'm not sure two wholly different film universes can be directly compared in that way. Superhero movies are simply going to involve physical events that are extremely exaggerated. It's a staple of them.

Oh he didn't just survive the blast...the blast destroyed the house (and town) the fridge sat in, and LAUNCHED the fridge into the sky, all the way out of the blast zone, to land on a hillside overlooking the blast. Whereupon Indy got out...dusted himself off, and looked down upon the damage.
It was the kind of scene that Warner Brothers might have considered a bit comical for Wile E Coyote.
Since the video has already been linked I'll quote it.I would have sworn it had SS written all over it but if that is the case, shame on George and thats something very hard for me to say.
I've only seen Iron Man once but it's not just that scene, but practically every scene where a guy is flying and accelerating to supersonic speed in nothing but a metal suit is the same realm as a guy flying around in a fridge after a nuclear explosion. Same applies to the raft sequence in ToD I cringe a bit every time I see it. Same applies to the petroleum river in Last Crusade. or hundreds of years old snakes being nice and dandy in Raiders. And so on. I't s suspension of disbelief.They are different universes but I don't think the Iron Man movies (independent of the rest of the Marvel comic world) are any farther from reality than Indy. That scene in Iron Man#1 happened in a context where it was pretty stupid-impossible, just like Indy's fridge. We excused it more readily when Tony Stark did it because we liked the movie better on the whole.

Maybe, for me it was always part of the many traps that guard the treasure. I would still call having hundreds of snakes from all over the world shoaled up right next to the Ark quite improbable, but again, suspension of disbelief works in this case. The whole Indiana Jones series hinges on totally improbable, almost schlock-like tropes and masterfully crafting them to an enjoyable adventure.Wait, are you implying that the snakes in the Well of the Souls were supposed to have been in there since the time of the Ark? I never interpreted it that way. I always just assumed since they were snakes, they found their way in there through small cracks or holes in the walls. Not improbable at all.
