Indy
Unlike other adventure characters, who were mostly larger than life, Indy is very human. “Snakes - why did it have to be snakes?” proves that
Emma Abraham
Indiana Jones is the ultimate cinematic adventurer
The answer to this is statement is, true! In terms of what defines adventurer or adventure movie, Indiana Jones immediately comes to mine. All other movies that try to capture what the Indy trilogy or the character are copy cats (Tomb Raider, National Treasure, The Da Vinci Code, etc.) not to say they aren’t good in their own right, but nothing can compare to the great score by John Williams or the epic scene of the boulder chasing our archaeologist. What other character fights Nazis, the occult, mafia members, the undead and more all while being a scholarly fellow?

Why Indiana Jones is the ultimate cinematic adventurer
Even though he always manages to get out of any mess he gets into, Indy is flawed, has moments of self-doubt and often finds himself in comical situations. This makes him not only human but relatable to the audience. That’s why he is the ultimate cinematic adventurer.

Indiana Jones: Ultimate Cinematic Adventure
Let me list off the reasons why Indiana Jones is the ultimate cinematic adventure: Harrison Ford, Steven Spielberg, George Lucas, John Williams, 4 Movies, Snakes, General Badassery. Plus he’s an archaeologist and a professor that defeats Nazis and Commies. That is all.

That would be true. This adventure is bold without taking itself too seriously. Its over the top and campy at times, but just the right amount as to make it enjoyable. There are foreign villains, epic chases and fight sequels, and the hero gets the girl. Things get better with time, but unlike what Lucas did to the Star Wars franchise, remastering Indy can only be a good thing.

INDY
i think he is the ultimate cinematic adventurer because he seems more human than other similar characters and people can relate to him more.

Indy's The Ultimate Adventurer!
Indiana Jones is the perfect combination of all the traditional manly virtues—rugged masculinity, two-fisted athleticism, formidable fighting prowess, intellectual strength, considerable raw pluck and daring, and resourceful cleverness.
It doesn’t hurt that he endures, perseveres, survives and ultimately prevails in some of the most thrilling adventures in cinematic history; that he does it all with charm and wit; and that he goes through chases, entrapments and melees that would surely be the doom of many a lesser hero.
Indy’s identifiable, recognizable humanity—endearing warts and all—makes him a great icon with everyman overtones. Everybody wants to be like Indy: excellent quick-witted brains and butt-kicking brawn, able to handle legendary, esoteric mysteries and menacing maelstroms; equally able to manhandle the most ruthless, deadly malefactors and scum. No matter how awesome the quest, how breakneck the chase, how dangerous the fight, how hair-raising the predicament, or how bad the bad guys, when it comes to mastering adventure nobody outdoes the professor with the bullwhip!
Michael Grant
True. Because mortal as he
True.
Because mortal as he seems, Indiana Jones can’t be stopped. Nazis, assassins, …even the power of God can’t stop him.
- Brian Michaels
Indiana Jones
One word. True. Do I really need to explain why? Because of this quote, “Snakes. Why did it have to be snakes?” That’s why.
