    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."

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

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

    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.

    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.

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

    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

    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.

    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.

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

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