: I think Bond is a cooler person than Indy. He leads a better lifestyle (richer, not shy with women, takes his martini's "shaken, not stirred"), but the Indiana Jones movies are of higher quality overall than James Bond. Plus, I think Indy would win a one-on-one fight against James Bond(Indy would just whip the gun out of his hand and die).

I would say that from my point of view Indy has such appeal because he is very
real as a character. Albeit, the stories are fiction, but his character
appeals to everyone. There is something in Indy for everyone. He is
in many ways what we've wanted to be like scince we were kids, wether
it was watching old adventure movies or the actual Indy flicks.
Plus there is a great nostalgic feeling that comes with immersing yourself
into the Indy-world. It is escapism at its finest, I think. I think it's
a pretty admirable hobby to have and you do learn alot about history and
the world in the process. It's one heck of an interest. Best...
