It be better if it was the British museum.

Indy didnt steal from museums

[-] dingus@lemmy.ml 64 points 11 months ago* (last edited 11 months 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 11 months ago

Very well put.

[-] Daerun@lemmy.world 78 points 11 months ago

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

[-] KreekyBonez@lemm.ee 15 points 11 months ago

lol nice

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

[-] Daerun@lemmy.world 4 points 11 months ago

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

[-] ObviouslyNotBanana@lemmy.world 38 points 11 months ago

That actually sounds fantastic.

[-] Hegar@kbin.social 33 points 11 months 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 11 months ago

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

[-] Hegar@kbin.social 9 points 11 months 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 11 months ago

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

Spill the beans

[-] FurtiveFugitive@lemm.ee 33 points 11 months 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 11 months ago

That comic belongs in a museum!

[-] Zerush@lemmy.ml 22 points 11 months ago

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

[-] papel@lemmyf.uk 7 points 11 months 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 11 months ago

Wasn't that actually true?

[-] Madison420@lemmy.world 7 points 11 months ago

The sphinx but yes.

I actually love this concept. There's something there

[-] ComicalMayhem@lemmy.world 3 points 11 months ago

Make a post on c/writingprompts!

[-] pucciguccibucci@lemmy.whynotdrs.org 21 points 11 months ago

Jondiana Indes and the Doomple of Temp

[-] Potatisen@lemmy.world 2 points 11 months ago

Jondiana nooooo

[-] n_emoo@lemmy.ca 18 points 11 months ago

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

[-] AdamBomb@lemmy.sdf.org 15 points 11 months ago

I would watch this

[-] leave_it_blank@lemmy.world 13 points 11 months ago

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

[-] Ack@lemmy.ca 12 points 11 months 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 11 months ago

He'd be going in through the butthole

[-] Potatisen@lemmy.world 3 points 11 months ago

Of a young boy-Indy

[-] lurch@sh.itjust.works 9 points 11 months ago
[-] papel@lemmyf.uk 2 points 11 months ago

Pulpy, but I'd go with Tabasco Aztlan

[-] neptune@dmv.social 8 points 11 months ago

Wasn't this literally the plot of Black Panther?

[-] Sotuanduso@lemm.ee 4 points 11 months 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 11 months ago

For sure! it's entertainment not politics.

[-] danwardvs@sh.itjust.works 4 points 11 months ago
[-] Sharkwellington@lemmy.one 7 points 11 months ago

Alright I'm done with lemmy for a bit

[-] Potatisen@lemmy.world 1 points 11 months ago

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

[-] Kind@lemm.ee 4 points 11 months 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.
