Lego Indiana Jones Has a Thirst for Adventure, Misogyny, and Beating People Until Their Limbs Fly Off
There’s a lot to love about this new, full-length Lego Indiana Jones trailer, even if you’re not as fascinated with Indy’s ability to beat other Lego humans limb-from-limb as I am. Even if you prefer Star Wars to Indy (like all good folk), if you enjoyed the Lego Star Wars games, I think you’ll have a hard time resisting this. There’s a Lego monkey, for god’s sake! In fact, I’m willing to bet the game will be significantly better than the Crystal Skull. Any takes?
