How can one film be this fucking awful

Due credit given for evenness of moral stance.

Never saw Skull - but I'm not talking about justification, that will come later. I'm talking about normalization of murder of particular groups or types of people, as a first step. Indiana Jones, which could have been just a movie about a treasure hunter, is pretty insidious about this.

What about killing child slavers in self defense? Is that okay?

its on par with skull

Imo, no, Skull is by far the worst.
Ant scene, fridge nuke, and Shia monkey shit alone put it there.

It's funny how Yas Forums has such a deep culture of larping and baiting that it wraps around sometimes to produce stuff like this.

But Crusade is the best one?

The only thing I remember in Temple being on par with the terribleness of those scenes is the "my future wife gets freaked out by bugs" shit.

fridge nuke was fun
ant scene wasn't worse than other shit in the franchise
shia crap has no excuse tho

Crusade > Raiders > Doom > Skull

This is the patrician opinion.
