Willie Scott

Wilhelmina "Willie" Scott is a central character in the second Indiana Jones film, mh:greatestmovies:Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom. She's an American singer working at Club Obi Wan who accompanies Henry Jones Jr. on his journey.

Why She Sucks

 * 1) Unlike other female leads from the Indiana Jones franchise such as Marion Ravenwood from the first movie and Elsa Schneider from the third movie, she contributes nothing to the story, and doesn't help Indy in any way whatsoever, meaning that she serves absolutely no purpose in the film aside being Indy's love interest. You could replace her and it wouldn't make a difference.
 * 2) She screams way too often and way too high-pitched. There's also her constant crying and whining.
 * 3) She constantly get kidnapped by various enemies and is pretty helpless whenever she's captured.
 * 4) She gets rewarded as being Indy's romantic love interest, even though she's done nothing to actually deserve it. Marion Ravenwood from the first movie and Elsa Schneider from the third movie had at least shown to be strong developed characters.
 * 5) Another thing, is that she's not very good with priorities. During the scene where a firefight had erupted in a large crowded room with you right in the middle, she chose focus on chasing down a large diamond instead of getting to safety. Plus she ended up in a car that was being shot but she chose to obsess over the fact that she chipped one of her nails.

Redeeming Qualities

 * 1) Her reactions towards various perils she goes through is understandable to some audiences, as she basically represents what a normal person would've felt experiencing all the exact same dangerous adventures she had with Indiana Jones.
 * 2) Her reactions during the infamous Indian palace dinner scene are funny.
 * 3) Despite her irritable nature, she does have a motive for her selfish and conceinted manners: she was born in poverty and her beloved grandfather died peniless despite bringing happiness everywhere as a stage magician, hence why she desires to be successful.
 * 4) She doesn't reappear in future installments of the Indiana Jones film series after this one (not counting a non-physical cameo in mh:awfulmovies:Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull), though to be fair, most characters in the Indy films, with the exception of a few, didn't reappear in other films.

Reception
Willie Scott received largely negative reviews from both critics and fans alike, due to her whiny personality, her constant need to be rescued, as well as the fact that she, unlike Indy's other love interests Marion Ravenwood and Elsa Schneider, serves no purpose to the film aside from being a love interest.
