The point is to steal things that don't already belong to them.
Nah, the 'reverse' of putting it in a museum is repatriation.
Indy didnt steal from museums
I think you're missing their point.
Indy was always "it belongs in a museum" when its an intricate part of some foreign nations history. That museum always seemed to be British or US.
The point being they're just stealing their history back. A reverse Indy.
"It belongs to the culture it came from. Allow them to choose what to do with it. Perhaps they even have their own museums."
Very well put.
The Vatican is a museum whether you like it or not
For those who can't read latin they are saying "Come back!" "That's the Holy Foreskin!".
lol nice
I just assumed it said "it belongs in a museum"
That's probably what their lawyers would state they meant to say.
That actually sounds fantastic.
So here we have Internet Guy posting a stolen comic about stolen artifacts. Neat.
Share some credit. http://smbc-comics.com/comic/sanctum
That comic belongs in a museum!
China actually does this - they steal back artifacts looted by colonial powers. There have been many high profile heists of museums where the only items taken were looted Chinese artifacts that the museum refused to return.
Such a great movie - Jackie Chan and Chris Tucker had great chemistry.
Yeah, it's not bad. The bit where Tucker is pretending to be Chinese isn't nearly as awkward as I'd remembered and the fight scene with all the throwing vases and arguing about which dynasty each one is from is pretty funny.
I 100% believe you but I want to know more!
Spill the beans
This in a British Museum would also be a good topic for a script
Reminds me of a joke, that the only reason the brits didn't move the pyramids of Giza back to London was because they are too heavy
Wasn't that actually true?
The sphinx but yes.
Jondiana Indes and the Doomple of Temp
Jondiana nooooo
Or a reverse Narcos TV show where south american authorities enter and destroy US gun factories.
I would watch this
"This belongs in a forgotten cave buried deep in the Amazonian rainforest!"
Do it with Temple of Doom! I want to see the pope yelling some Latin gibberish and trying to rip indigenous Indy’s heart out of his chest.
He'd be going in through the butthole
Of a young boy-Indy
Wasn't this literally the plot of Black Panther?
Where the bad guys are the CIA or FBI and they are being hunted down for overthrowing a government, there'd be a world of different locations and endless sequels.
Thats... not the opposite of Indiana Jones tho...
Yeah literally the first and the third movie are about stealing Christian holy relics, this is just Indiana Jones with a lead of South American descent
The black, four-bladed propeller in a white circle on a red wing looks mildly suspicious...
Sounds about as fun as Indiana Jones, as long as it's done for fun and not just to make a statement.
For sure! it's entertainment not politics.
