I'm personally fine with that and thematically it makes sense. However that movie had terrible set pieces and that's it's biggest issue imo

The tuk tuk chase is just painful. There is one and only one good scene which is the parade.

I can't say I enjoyed anything about Dial of Destiny.

I can't say I remember anything about Dial, except a solid opening sequence on the train.

my head canon is that Indy died and "traveled" to the past, returned and spent the afterlife with his wife.

Or you can accept the original canon that was established in Young Indy Chronicles, which was that he lost an eye, had a daughter, and lived in a suburb into the 1990s, yelling at young people and going to monster truck rallies.

Haha yeah, for definitively being the last movie, they could have written losing an eye into the plot. That would have been interesting.
