The point is to steal things that don't already belong to them.
Nah, the 'reverse' of putting it in a museum is repatriation.
Indy didnt steal from museums
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."
Very well put.
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.
So here we have Internet Guy posting a stolen comic about stolen artifacts. Neat.

Jondiana Indes and the Doomple of Temp
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
I would watch this
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.
He'd be going in through the butthole
Or a reverse Narcos TV show where south american authorities enter and destroy US gun factories.
Wasn't this literally the plot of Black Panther?
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.
