Indy grapples with the cryptic phrase and realizes at the last possible minute that penitence would refer to the act of kneeling in prayer, which initially allows him to dodge an array of circular blades that slice into the passageway. However, a second blade flies up from beneath the floor, spurring Indy to somersault and roll forward in order to evade certain death, proving that the riddle was always a lie.
What does penitence mean?
>penitence
sorrow for having committed sin
He had to roll because he solved it too late. Had he solved it "in time" he would have knelt and the blades would have passed over him and in front of him.
This. Next issue.
the next issue is that stupid bridge that wasn't invisible it just looked like the rock behind it
literally moving an inch to either side invalidates it
It only appeared after he stood on it. Like unlocked it or something in a video game
After it passed over him and in front of him would he have turned the inner eye to see its path?

This opens up a plot-hole of sorts in The Last Crusade, due to the fact that if Indy had followed through with the penitent man stance, which involved kneeling on the floor and progressing forward, he would have been impaled by the second blade. The “penitent man” riddle is fundamentally misleading as the apparent message is subverted halfway through. In effect, anyone who solved the riddle would still be killed, possibly due to the fact that these traps were designed by Arthurian knights, whose primary goal was to protect the Grail. The only issue with that seems to be that the Grail's guardian suggests that the riddle was always designed to be solved.
It is also interesting to note that the “Penitent Man” trap in Indiana Jones and The Last Crusade is remarkably similar to a Kaizo Trap or Kōmei no wana. A Kaizo Trap is a kind of video game hope spot wherein a player finishes a difficult challenge based on the clues provided, and breathes a sigh of relief in anticipation of victory, only to be abruptly killed off by an unforeseen element embedded within the game’s narrative.
well penitent obviously means kneel, and kneel obviously means do a dark souls roll through that exact section of cave
The riddle is actually “the pendulum man will pass”
Indy spotted the
>try finger, but hole
And immediately panic rolled.
>Raiders - israeli god
>Temple - indian cult
>Crusade - christian god
>skull - muh aliens
>dial - time travel
>israeli god
>christian god
same god, sorry to break it to you
No worries they could just swap in the Islamic God then
but his name was jehova not yaweh in crusade
Jehova is the german pronunciation of yaweh
Y = J
W = V
seth rogen denies christ though, how do you explain that smart guy?
seth rogan is the antichrist
He can deny Christ, but Christ is still Lord and part of the triune God.
Seth Rogan is a moron who thinks getting your car broken into is an honor
upvoted
ah yes and we should worship zeus instead ri- oh wait he’s derived from semitic mesopotamian deities
obviously it should've been
>4 - Buddhism/Chinese religion
>5 - Islamic god
Neither of those gods exists so it would ring hollow
- muh aliens
>>dial - time travel
why were the later movies about such midwit shit?
Because the new ones are soulless cashgrab sequels coming out 20 years after the trilogy ended.
Because aliens and ancient greek time travel is bland, safe, and inoffensive. Make a movie about Judio-Christian murder mcguffins today and risk getting your movie boycotted by Mom's for Liberty and guys that shoot budweiser cans on tiktok.
oh we’re larping that it’s the conservative chrisitans in control of culture, lmao
It’s an Indiana Jones thread. That guy probably still seethes about Bush and thinks the 80s were 20 years ago.
You mean rick and morty fans who petition governments if they see a cross in public
Your conclusions are correct, but you got there all wrong.
They came out in the 21st century
Literally all of the movies end with him being faced with the supernatural nature of the thing he's been chasing after.
yes, what does that have to do with it?
>sci-fi
>supernatural
those words are never used interchangably by people who know what they mean.
Why does he call God Jehova
jehova deeze nuts gay
Because that is Gods name
Its Yeshua like Joshua
Jehovah was a new religion invented in America
>Jehovah was a new religion invented in America
It's the Hebrew name used in the Bible.
The penitent man also tries spinning because that's a neat trick.
Who the hell reloads the whirring blades' mechanism?
Unless it has some sort of power plant, it needs manual reloading after a single (or limited) use.
They go in a circle
The old knight. Duh
I want to know who repaves the bottomless pit name-of-god trap.
>one guy falls in
>make a bridge to span all the letters
Well that was easy.
>leap of faith
>make a bridge to span the gap
Hello old knight fella. I guess you set this up assuming only one person would make it here. That was a dumb assumption.
God does
The main plot hole is that the power of God in the grail is somehow constrained by the man made seal in the cave.
It isn't actually constrained though, the chick was just moronic and dropped it in the crack. It's just your standard "self destruct everything if you take out the magic mcguffin" setup, how exactly the magical seal detects that the grail is leaving is just movie magic bullshit.
The same motion sensors the 1000 year old saw blade traps used
I mean the main plot hole is that the German army didn't just break the backs of locally sourced slave labor excavating the site until they found the damn thing at the bottom of the hole.
>israeli relic
>full of murderous wraiths
>Christian relic
>heals the injured and grants long life
What did Spielberg mean by this?
Indy should have cursed God and killed the old knight. If the old testament is true and Indy knew it by heart then he would have also known God is a dick who cares not for man but simply toils with mens lives for his sick pleasure
imagine getting yourself this worked up over indiana jones, holy cringe
Only person who seems worked up here is you, guy
uh huh, write another paragraph crying about religion in the serialslop movie thread, manly tears bro
Having a bad day?
yikes
