Right, but George took that away from Indiana Jones. They had him ride off into the sunset, live happily ever after, but no. He was a bankable IP and they wanted more money, despite how it would ruin the ending they already gave to the character

I'm okay with more Indiana Jones being made, because it's an adventure serial. My problem was it wasn't done well.

Lucky Luke rides off into the sunset in every movie. Doesn't mean that is the end of him.

It signals the end of the movie, not the end of the character.

You're saying someone can't end a character's story by LITERALLY having them ride off into the sunset? Kind of an odd rule.

And if you think losing a hand and watching your friend get kidnapped is a happy ending akin to "riding off into the sunset" then you just have a fundamental misunderstanding of movies in general.
