The theory has been around for quite some time, but it gained a good deal of popularity when it was included in an episode of the The Big Bang Theory, where Sheldon Cooper gets his girlfriend, Amy Farrah Fowler to watch Raiders of the Lost Ark and she noted that she enjoyed it, but that there was a “glaring story problem.” When he asks what it is, she explains that “Indiana Jones plays no role in the outcome of the story.” She notes that Indiana Jones doesn’t actually stop the Nazis from getting to the Ark and he isn’t able to stop them from opening the Ark, which then kills them all. I was originally going to include the fan theory that Indiana Jones had no impact on the plot of Raiders of the Lost Ark, but it really didn’t fit that post, so I figured I’d just do a separate post on the Indy theory. Recently, I wrote about how you shouldn’t take contrarian fan takes seriously, as they almost always are just intended as jokes that have taken on a life of their own (like “Daniel LaRusso is the REAL bully of The Karate Kid“). Knowledge Waits is a feature where I just share some bit of pop culture history that interests me that doesn’t quite fit into the other features. Today, we look at how dumb the “Indiana Jones doesn’t affect the plot of Raiders of the Lost Ark” theory is.
