Flawed heroes are the best heroes. Craig Bond was a headcase. Indy was a great flawed hero until he stumbled out of that lead lined fridge.
In comics movies, Jackman's Logan/Wolverine is a drunk, and spends lots of screen time making up for past wrongs. He's always pretty durable and effective though.
I agree with your point, but he does lose in the opening of Last Crusade -- remember the sheriff takes the Cross of Coronado away from him. And the guy says, "You lost today kid, but that doesn't mean you have to like it," and plops the hat on him.
Of course it match cuts to the present-day ship, but he does lose in the opening.

I like to pretend there are only three Indy movies, three Star Wars movies and like 2.5 Godfather movies. And at least 4 seasons of Firefly.
Also worth noting: the end of Temple of Doom and the opening of Last Crusade are the only times Indy *ever* wins in the OT.
They are, not coincidentally, the weakest points of the OT.

I meant the ship sequence where he finally gets it. :-)
