Since his debut in the 1981 film \u003ci\u003eRaiders of the Lost Ark\u003c\/i\u003e, Indiana Jones has gone on to anchor several sequels, and a fifth film is currently in development. At the same time, the character has spilled out into multiple multimedia manifestations and has become a familiar icon within the collective cultural imagination. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e Despite the longevity and popularity of the \u003ci\u003eIndiana Jones\u003c\/i\u003e franchise, however, it has rarely been the focus of sustained criticism.
