Marion's role was underwritten for sure. Still, I'd rather watch Karen Allen stand around and smile with her fists on her hips any day than watch Kate Capshaw's Willie Scott. Alison Doody gets little respect, in my opinion. Her Dr. Elsa Schneider character was miles above Willie Scott or Marion Williams (Ravenwood) in KotCS.
In the end, I'm just happy I liked KotCS a lot more than most it would seem. Perhaps that is because growing up Indiana Jones was always a distant second to Star Wars, so when prequel time came my expectations were sky high for them, but not for Indy. Now that I'm older, I'm finding Star Wars, taken as a whole, is becoming a distant second to the 'man in the hat'.
). And how can you not love the moment of his reaction when he sees Marion for the first time.
