But again, we only see him in a university setting and without any outside interference.
He's played pretty straight for the first half of Crusade - the opening University and Venice sequence for example. It's only when he's attempting to traverse through the Alexandra train station does he show more of his comical side. He still shows some more of his serious side like the part about Donovan's meddling and when he's comforting a dying Henry Sr. in the climax.
And also again, actor Denholm Eliot himself (as mentioned on the Indiana Jones Trilogy Making-Of Documentary) loved played Marcus's funny moments. If he was OK with it, then what's the issue?
Just because an actor is ok with it doesn't mean it fits the impression given by the previous film (he was given a lot more to do so why would he complain?). There is absolutely nothing in his Raiders performance that is eccentric.
Why he would only be eccentric when he steps outside is beyond me. Something with sun exposure? He is presented as someone who is completely LOST when he is out in foreign lands.
But we barely saw him in Raiders. He's only there at the book ending segments of the film and hardly a pivotal character. I feel like this overreacting.
Plus, I find his comical bits funny and it fits with the more light-hearted father-son bonding adventure Spielberg was going for.
