The MCU's influence is definitely growing. We wouldn't even have the new Godzilla-King Kong shared universe, the DCEU, the new variety in X-Men movies, or the failed Dark Universe without the MCU.

Its influence just isn't as great as the Indy Trilogy, or the others I mentioned above.

Alright fair enough. I'm with you for sure. What would you say Indy has influenced then?

I'd say it's influenced the Mission Impossible franchise, The Rocketeer, Captain America: The First Avenger, Romancing the Stone, The Mummy (1999), Back to the Future: Part III, X-Men: Apocalypse (it was said to be influenced by Raiders of the Lost Ark), Pirates of the Caribbean, The Lone Ranger, and Aquaman has also been said to be inspired by "Raiders".

Although it's not a movie, the Uncharted video game series was also heavily inspired by the Indiana Jones Trilogy.

Edit: I forgot to mention all the countless knock-offs that failed miserably, but were still influenced by Indy nonetheless. And I'm sure I'm forgetting some others.
