Reply to comment by TotesObviThrwawy in What Are Some Weird, Unintended Spiritual Implications Behind Hollywood Movie Plots? by Rowan-Trees

For Indiana: At the very least, he proves the existence of some kind of supernatural forces, if not the Judeo-Christian God specifically. He witnesses a shaman tear a man's heart out. He meets an immortal crusader with magical murdering cups, and Soviet psychics. Anyone who remains a "healthy skeptic" after any one of these is just in denial.

You keep skipping crystal skull lol.

My point is more that, he's seen evidence of some kind, of something. It doesn't have to mean that it is God inherently, or that Christianity in particular gets it all right. Maybe it's another alien, who knows!

Not necessarily. Depends on the franchise. Sometimes it's popculture bleed over, like, shit, i just drank some blood. Well i guess if vamps exist, guess I better watch out for garlic! Kind of a power of belief thing.

In Freddie's case, the kids believing that it would work, could definitely impact him.
