Throw me idol, I'll throw you the whip!

Can this possibly live up to the expectations I've had since reading Harrison Ford's comments in 1993?
Yep.
It can.
I still think "IJ and City of Gods" made for a better fit with the earlier titles, though. "Kingdom of the Crystal Skull" sounds great, but is too long when you add the "Indy and the" part.
I think my real fear is that it was chosen *because* it's awkward...and therefore matches "Indiana Jones and the Raiders of the Lost Ark".
And if that's the case, it means they're still trying to make that title stick. But of course, that title then implies that Indy himself was *not* one of the titular "Raiders" of the Lost Ark. Is that really such a good thing?
It's sad, I know, but this is the kind of thing I sit around and think about in my downtime.
