It be better if it was the British museum.

[–] db2@sopuli.xyz 40 points 11 months ago (1 children)

The point is to steal things that don't already belong to them.

[–] HikingVet@lemmy.sdf.org 11 points 11 months ago

Nah, the 'reverse' of putting it in a museum is repatriation.

[–] Daerun@lemmy.world 78 points 11 months ago (1 children)

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 (1 children)

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 40 points 11 months ago

That actually sounds fantastic.

[–] FurtiveFugitive@lemm.ee 33 points 11 months ago (1 children)

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!

[–] Hegar@kbin.social 33 points 11 months ago (2 children)

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 (1 children)

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

[–] Zerush@lemmy.ml 23 points 11 months ago (2 children)

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

[–] papel@lemmyf.uk 7 points 11 months ago (1 children)

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 (1 children)

Wasn't that actually true?

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

The sphinx but yes.

[–] UNWILLING_PARTICIPANT@sh.itjust.works 4 points 11 months ago (1 children)

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 (1 children)

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 17 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 (1 children)

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 4 points 11 months ago (1 children)

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 (1 children)
[–] papel@lemmyf.uk 2 points 11 months ago

Pulpy, but I'd go with Tabasco Aztlan

[–] PP_BOY_@lemmy.world 8 points 11 months ago (1 children)

Thats... not the opposite of Indiana Jones tho...

[–] TheAndrewBrown@lemm.ee 6 points 11 months ago

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

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

Wasn't this literally the plot of Black Panther?

[–] Kind@lemm.ee 7 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.

[–] Masimatutu@lemm.ee 6 points 11 months ago

The black, four-bladed propeller in a white circle on a red wing looks mildly suspicious...

[–] Sotuanduso@lemm.ee 5 points 11 months ago (1 children)

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 (2 children)
[–] Sharkwellington@lemmy.one 7 points 11 months ago (1 children)

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?
