Seriously. Can Disney and Lucasfilm do ANYTHING right? I've never seen a company handed so many obviously good options and always, without fail, reject them and instead stick with the "depressed old male hero replaced by strong perfect woman." It's like they're TRYING to fail on purpose

Then the movie gets into a wild adventure where all 3 try to outdo each other as the best treasure Hunter but by the end they decide to work together and find that family is the real treasure and also that family means more than just blood but also an Asian kid you kidnapped in the 1930s could be like a son to you
But the audience would have liked it even if he was a nobody
Fans were asking for Shortround back before Kingdom of the Crystal Skull's cast was even revealed, so it's not like there was no reason to bring him back.
If killing off Mutt in this movie was a foregone conclusion, they at least had a great opportunity for a touching arc about him reconnecting with Shortround, and by the end he recognizes that he still has a son. Yes it would have been a repeat of the arc between Indy and Henry Sr. from Last Crusade but it would have felt appropriate.
Really though, why the frick do they always need to kill characters off to explain why they're not in stuff anymore? And why are the older male characters always divorced?
He was the one who killed mutt
holy shit
Based shorty saving the franchise behind the scenes.
my fricking sides
They tried to channel the same energy with the nasty moustache unibrow mutt in the new one. Sad.
he died in vietnam with mutt
He kind of did
I didn't know zoomers existed in the 1960s
WHAT RACE IS THIS THING?
He's playing a Moroccan street urchin but it looks like he's a mutt, IMDb says he's "Franco-Mauritian-Brazilian"

His Oscar win for EEAAO happened when Dial of Density was in post-production.
Normally I'd agree, but with all of the re-shoots happening you're telling me they couldn't even fit him in for a cameo?
Horse-faced Kathleen Kennedy self insert replaces beloved male icon could practically be its own genre now.
The black women and the nose girl had so many close ups, it was distracting, I remember when ugly people were background joke characters.

might have been cool
City Whippers
He should have.
It was filmed before he was a flavour of the month meme…therefore ~~*Disney*~~ wouldn’t have thought about putting him in

Jackie Chan looking better than I thought.
Kennedy didn't want him. Harrison wanted him in the picture.
