If Jonny Quest: The Real Adventures was like an Indiana Jones movie…
Jonny would have a nervous breakdown when he finds out that the cars
aren't very fast in the 1930s.
1st season Jessie would be Marian, 2nd season Jessie would be Willie.
This is because 1st season Jessie was more physically inclined and grubby
like Marian (and better and less annoying). 2nd season Jessie would be
more like Willie: afraid she'd break a nail or something. I can see Willie
wearing pink.
Since Indiana was named after the dog (according to "The Last Crusade")
things would turn weird when Jonny/Indiana is then called "Bandit". Scary.
Can you just imagine Jonny in an Indy Jones type fistfight? He'd hit
someone, and then he'd yell "Ow! That really hurt!" and cradle his knuckles.
Then he'd hit the guy again; ("Jerk!") just to get his own back.
Jonny would fit this role because he's brave, reckless and has a lust
for adventure, just like the Indy we all know and love. And riding a horse,
being dragged along a road, clinging to a truck and being shot at is all
in a day for Jonny, as well as Indy. Boulder dodging shouldn't be a problem
for him.
Hadji is so Marcus Brodie, the scholar guy. He's definitely the sort
of person to be the bookworm. And he could add more to the character by
putting his little quotes into it. In Crusaders, Marcus and Indy's dad
do a quote thing, so Hadji would be perfect for the role.
But wait, what wouldn't happen is Indy's scholar side. Jonny is NOT
a scholar. So what instead? The high school hunk. The guy that everyone
loves, all the girls want him, and they practically queue up for him. But
what does he do for escapism? That's right, you've guessed it. He climbs
out of the window, and runs away from that life to have wild, reckless
adventures saving priceless artefacts and the world from the Nazis. The
things people do for kicks, eh?
Bandit wouldn't be in it. Altogether now, YYYYYYEEEEEEEEEESSSSSSSSS!!!!!!!
Jonny would be extremely good at the depressed and drunk thing. I don't
know why. He just would. I can see him being all angsty and leaning over
a table with a bottle of rum in his hand or something, like in Raiders
after Indy thinks Marian's dead. Jonny makes a good broodworthy guy, and
I think that is why there are so many Jonny angst/otherwise fanfics out
there. He fits that, for some reason. I think it's because Jonny has real
depth of character. Well done, the writers of JQ. (Go to hell for not renewing
the show. Kidding.)
Benton IS Sean Connery. He just looks like him. He just does. It's
weird that way. Benton would just fit into The Last Crusade perfectly.
The only thing is that in the bit in the movie where Indy breaks into that
place to rescue his father, the Nazi guy comes into the room and says,
"Dr Jones?" And both Drs go "Yes?" Well that wouldn't work with the Jonny
Quest version. Because Jonny isn't a Dr. Oh dear.
Email me if you liked that. Tell me for what reason and I'll write
another one to please you. Is it the fact I used Indy, or what? Or, on
the other hand, did you hate it? Tell me; tell me, I wanna know! I'm at
jessiequest@hotmail.com J thank you for reading.
