It be better if it was the British museum.

[-] produnis@discuss.tchncs.de 6 points 2 years ago

Indy didnt steal from museums

[-] dingus@lemmy.ml 64 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago)

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."

[-] HikingVet@lemmy.sdf.org 7 points 2 years ago

Very well put.

[-] Daerun@lemmy.world 78 points 2 years ago

For those who can't read latin they are saying "Come back!" "That's the Holy Foreskin!".

[-] KreekyBonez@lemm.ee 15 points 2 years ago

lol nice

I just assumed it said "it belongs in a museum"

[-] Daerun@lemmy.world 4 points 2 years ago

That's probably what their lawyers would state they meant to say.

[-] ObviouslyNotBanana@lemmy.world 38 points 2 years ago

That actually sounds fantastic.

[-] FurtiveFugitive@lemm.ee 34 points 2 years ago

So here we have Internet Guy posting a stolen comic about stolen artifacts. Neat.

Share some credit. http://smbc-comics.com/comic/sanctum

[-] Klear@lemmy.world 8 points 2 years ago

That comic belongs in a museum!

[-] Hegar@kbin.social 33 points 2 years ago

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.

[-] MooseBoys@lemmy.world 21 points 2 years ago

Such a great movie - Jackie Chan and Chris Tucker had great chemistry.

[-] Hegar@kbin.social 9 points 2 years ago

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.

[-] Potatisen@lemmy.world 4 points 2 years ago

I 100% believe you but I want to know more!

Spill the beans

[-] Zerush@lemmy.ml 23 points 2 years ago

This in a British Museum would also be a good topic for a script

[-] papel@lemmyf.uk 8 points 2 years ago

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

[-] ComicalMayhem@lemmy.world 5 points 2 years ago

Wasn't that actually true?

[-] Madison420@lemmy.world 7 points 2 years ago

The sphinx but yes.

I actually love this concept. There's something there

[-] ComicalMayhem@lemmy.world 3 points 2 years ago

Make a post on c/writingprompts!

Jondiana Indes and the Doomple of Temp

[-] Potatisen@lemmy.world 2 points 2 years ago

Jondiana nooooo

[-] n_emoo@lemmy.ca 18 points 2 years ago

Or a reverse Narcos TV show where south american authorities enter and destroy US gun factories.

[-] AdamBomb@lemmy.sdf.org 15 points 2 years ago

I would watch this

[-] leave_it_blank@lemmy.world 13 points 2 years ago

"This belongs in a forgotten cave buried deep in the Amazonian rainforest!"

[-] Ack@lemmy.ca 12 points 2 years ago

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.

[-] Lifebandit666@feddit.uk 4 points 2 years ago

He'd be going in through the butthole

[-] Potatisen@lemmy.world 3 points 2 years ago

Of a young boy-Indy

[-] lurch@sh.itjust.works 9 points 2 years ago
[-] papel@lemmyf.uk 2 points 2 years ago

Pulpy, but I'd go with Tabasco Aztlan

[-] neptune@dmv.social 8 points 2 years ago

Wasn't this literally the plot of Black Panther?

[-] Sotuanduso@lemm.ee 4 points 2 years ago

Sounds about as fun as Indiana Jones, as long as it's done for fun and not just to make a statement.

[-] Potatisen@lemmy.world 2 points 2 years ago

For sure! it's entertainment not politics.

[-] danwardvs@sh.itjust.works 4 points 2 years ago
[-] Sharkwellington@lemmy.one 7 points 2 years ago

Alright I'm done with lemmy for a bit

[-] Potatisen@lemmy.world 1 points 2 years ago

Why wouldn't he be? R-rated movie right?

[-] Kind@lemm.ee 4 points 2 years ago

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.
