...Indy fought Dracula in the show.
That's a pretty big supposition. A shitty little bar in Nepal, and for all we know Indy is the only one who knew where she was.
Why was Indiana Jones upset at the end of Raiders?

It's not that that big of a leap. It's heavily implied Marion got stuck in Nepal after Abner died, when she didn't have enough money for passage home. So all the Nazis have to do is go to Abner's last known destination and start poking around for Americans. Of course, Indy didn't know where he was either, they hadn't spoken in 10 yearsr. He mentions rumors about Asia, and then he tells Marcus he thinks he knows where to start looking. Either his first guess was right or he did some sleuthing during the travel montage. She's not hiding, they will find her eventually.
A battery if anything?
I don’t know why any supernatural force would kill a person who puts his hand up to save a relic from toppling…but a simple battery doesn’t care.
Indy, like his actor, always seems in a bad mood. Ford should play Nick Saban—they are so alike.
Adam Savage certainly wasn’t in a good mood after that shock.
Indy would argue it should be available for all people but the Nazis. The thing being that the Ark ISN'T the One Ring and a weapon but a a holy item of the Hebrew God (or God in general). It can protect itself and cannot be misused, which is something Indy comes to understand.
Just because they don't have an explanation, that doesn't prove that the explanation they're offered must be true. It just means they don't know what happened. They have Indy and Marion's anecdotal account, but it's a fantastic tale with no objective corroboration. Of course they're not just going to blindly accept it as fact, nor should they. It'll just be another unsolved mystery on the books.
I mean, it's not like there aren't similar mysterious disappearances in world history, like the fate of the Roanoke colony or the Marie Celeste (though that "mystery" was largely an invention of sensationalist media embellishing the facts to make it seem stranger than it was). People came up with all sorts of theories for those, but no single explanation was accepted as unambiguously true.
The Nazi communique was intercepted the day before, the Nazi's have only just begun looking.
I had a similar thought one page back, though I referred to more ashes being in the box.Just had an odd thought - Belloq's face exploded while he was standing over the open ark. There are probably chunks of him in there...
Remember, Indy told Marion not to look. Which implied that the Ark would simply destroy everyone within range, regardless of intent. That's the vibe I got from that scene - when opened, the Ark just kills everybody.
Which is also why the first things to be destroyed were the cameras which were filming it. They're machines but were destroyed all the same, because their purpose was to observe the Ark.
They cannot. Evidence gathering obviously includes careful observation, and with Jones and Marion's testimony, an island of missing Nazis only leaving equipment, no U.S. forces responsible for arriving at the island to fight or capture Nazis (who were not there), once has to conclude Jones and Marion were telling the truth. Then again, the government agents were pretty atheistic / antagonistic toward religion, and were likely not alone in that bias about the Ark (or any other religious artifact / meaning, etc.), so they were already primed to disbelieve any answer that was not a black and white, "Random U.S. boat arrives / soldiers save Americans / kill bad guys" answer, despite overwhelming evidence to the contrary.
I believe Jones surmised (on the spot) he (and Marion) should not look at the Ark's effects if someone tried to use it for evil purposes. At no other point in the film did Jones (or Brody, Sallah, et al.) mention that there would be a price to pay for looking at the Ark's contents or effect, so Jones (when observing the light and smoke coming from the Ark after Belloq's ceremony) assumed it was not what was expected, or how history explained its use. So the Ark's punishment would be to anyone witnessing the blasphemous possession / opening / use; Jones could not take the chance that the two innocent people there would be spared.
The Raven bar was her father's. He was using it to save money for his next expedition. He'd suspected before he died that Marion Ravenwood would try to sell his artifacts, so apart from the headpiece, he buried the rest under the bar. She wasn't aware of it, but went back for them at some later time. Also Mohan had been his employee before he continued to work for Marion. So at least some people would have probably known this was Abner Ravenwood's last known place
Is that from the comics? I actually own the omnibuses but haven't read them all yet.
Yes. Used to read Indiana Jones comics when I was younger. Sadly had the first miniseries, but like so many things, long gone now. I gave up comics, too expensive an addiction. But it's also all kept on the wiki.
I think that would depend on whether any of them intended to actually open the Ark, even if they found it.
