I wonder how releasing new films (good or bad) is supposed to "murder" an existing franchise.
The Indiana Jones franchise exists because of the Indiana Jones character. People that go to one of those movies want to see him. If you setup a Mary Sue that treats him like an useless geriatric waste of a man, and finish the movie by having this Mary Sue knock him out, you're basically pissing in your own franchise. And since Harrison Ford won't be able to do another one, this is how the franchise ended, with a sou…
What is a "Mary Sue"?

Your point that the franchise wasn't in a great spot at acquisition is noted, and I'd agree with it. I'm not the same commenter who originally voiced the broad anti-Disney polemic, I'm mostly just chiming in my general disappointment at this one franchise's lifespan in hindsight. But, I'd say it's only gotten worse over Disney's ownership. It's not much of an achievement for any film to be better than Crystal Skull,…
It wouldn't suprise me if Lucasfilm pre-Disney may have intended to use 4 to hand things off to Shia LeBeouf, but, well, whoops. The Bond model is an interesting one, I wonder how well it would work for Indiana Jones. First I guess you gotta decide if you are gonna bring it forward in time or not. If you do, I think there's something of a bad guy problem. Raiders and Last Crusade both benefited a lot from the Nazis b…
Casino royale was a remake of an older bond movie with the same name, using a rather well known actor at the time. Could've been a nostalgia cash grab but ended up being so great he's still the only James bond some people have known.
That was a risk taken and it pulled off greatly. Can we ever imagine seeing billion dollar studios taking similar risks?

#57Is it impossible the executives had motive to murder?
They murdered the suspect before he committed the crime?
I don't think OP is suggesting they might have murdered him in retribution for the hack. As the article describes, there was quite a lot of animosity between the contractor Harrison and the owner of Ashley Madison, including a harassment campaign from Harrison that started two years before he killed himself and three years before the hack.

#58So they hired a scumbag to harass their critics in potentially illegal ways, fired the scumbag, and then were surprised that he turned on them? What a perfect example of what goes around, comes around.
but the CEO was a victim don't forget
