#I’m thinking like series one of agent carter for the wwii bits but sadder

[enbycrip]

One thing I actually really liked about The Crystal Skull, despite all its issues, was Indy’s complete disillusionment with the US Government, and how it is implied it’s not only due to the rising anti-communist bullshit, but all the stuff he saw about what the US would actually do with anything it got its grubby huge imperialist mitts on during WWII. The atom bomb being the biggest and most utterly horrifying, ofc, but it is implied there were plenty of others.

What I’m saying is that we deserve a series about Indy et al working undercover during WWII to deal with, steal and destroy the various occult horrors the Nazis stole and are attempting to use as the war goes against them, and how he realises the Allied governments, esp the US, are not actually safe hands to put them in either.

Maybe a lot of that is in flashback while in 1960s or 1970s he helps someone like Simon Weithenstal hunt down a Nazi in South America who is on the trail of some occult artefact he thinks could be used to restore the Reich? And running into CIA-led US imperialism while he’s there?

It would need to be incredibly well-written, and probably actively anti-Zionist too, but I think it could be absolutely incredible.

Though honestly about the only person I’d trust to write it would be Ruthanna Emrys, given their *superb*, *note-perfect* take on the Cthulhu Mythos in The Innsmouth Legacy books.
