It be better if it was the British museum.

Indy didnt steal from museums

[-] dingus@lemmy.ml 64 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year 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 1 year ago

Very well put.

[-] Daerun@lemmy.world 78 points 1 year ago

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

[-] KreekyBonez@lemm.ee 15 points 1 year ago

lol nice

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

[-] Daerun@lemmy.world 4 points 1 year ago

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

[-] ObviouslyNotBanana@lemmy.world 38 points 1 year ago

That actually sounds fantastic.

[-] FurtiveFugitive@lemm.ee 34 points 1 year 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 1 year ago

That comic belongs in a museum!

[-] Hegar@kbin.social 33 points 1 year 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 1 year ago

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

[-] Hegar@kbin.social 9 points 1 year 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.

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

Spill the beans

[-] Zerush@lemmy.ml 23 points 1 year ago

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

[-] papel@lemmyf.uk 8 points 1 year 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 1 year ago

Wasn't that actually true?

[-] Madison420@lemmy.world 7 points 1 year ago

The sphinx but yes.

I actually love this concept. There's something there

[-] ComicalMayhem@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago

Make a post on c/writingprompts!

Jondiana Indes and the Doomple of Temp

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

Jondiana nooooo

[-] n_emoo@lemmy.ca 18 points 1 year ago

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

[-] AdamBomb@lemmy.sdf.org 15 points 1 year ago

I would watch this

[-] leave_it_blank@lemmy.world 13 points 1 year ago

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

[-] Ack@lemmy.ca 12 points 1 year 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 1 year ago

He'd be going in through the butthole

[-] Potatisen@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago

Of a young boy-Indy

[-] lurch@sh.itjust.works 9 points 1 year ago
[-] papel@lemmyf.uk 2 points 1 year ago

Pulpy, but I'd go with Tabasco Aztlan

[-] neptune@dmv.social 8 points 1 year ago

Wasn't this literally the plot of Black Panther?

[-] Sotuanduso@lemm.ee 4 points 1 year 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 1 year ago

For sure! it's entertainment not politics.

[-] danwardvs@sh.itjust.works 4 points 1 year ago
[-] Sharkwellington@lemmy.one 7 points 1 year ago

Alright I'm done with lemmy for a bit

[-] Potatisen@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

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

[-] Kind@lemm.ee 4 points 1 year 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.
