It be better if it was the British museum.

[–] [email protected] 40 points 1 year ago (1 children)

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

[–] [email protected] 11 points 1 year ago

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

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

[–] [email protected] 15 points 1 year ago (1 children)

lol nice

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

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 year ago

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

[–] [email protected] 40 points 1 year ago

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

[–] [email protected] 8 points 1 year ago

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.

[–] [email protected] 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

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

[–] [email protected] 8 points 1 year 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

[–] [email protected] 5 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Wasn't that actually true?

[–] [email protected] 7 points 1 year ago

The sphinx but yes.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I actually love this concept. There's something there

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago

Make a post on c/writingprompts!

Jondiana Indes and the Doomple of Temp

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

Jondiana nooooo

[–] [email protected] 18 points 1 year ago

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

[–] [email protected] 17 points 1 year ago

I would watch this

[–] [email protected] 13 points 1 year ago

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

[–] [email protected] 12 points 1 year 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.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 year ago (1 children)

He'd be going in through the butthole

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago

Of a young boy-Indy

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

Pulpy, but I'd go with Tabasco Aztlan

[–] [email protected] 8 points 1 year ago (1 children)

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

[–] [email protected] 6 points 1 year 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

[–] [email protected] 8 points 1 year ago

Wasn't this literally the plot of Black Panther?

[–] [email protected] 7 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.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 1 year 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.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

For sure! it's entertainment not politics.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

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