I know the BTS crew loathes Willie and arguments are understood! In comparing leading ladies trope from the other films (Marian as adventure-equal, Ilsa as intellectual-equal) what about looking at Willie as the charismatic-equal, in so much as her flamboyant petulant glamorous ‘femininity’ matches Indie’s arrogant reckless gentleman-cowboy ‘masculinity’ - and both get into trouble because of their respective use of ‘charm’.
