10 Movie Heroes Who Were Secretly Just Awful
6. Indiana Jones Stole From The Indigenous To Give To The Americans - Indiana Jones
In the world of Hollywood, it’s a bit difficult for things to not get “America-centric,” but Indy’s blatant pillaging of indigenous artefacts takes things to a whole new level.
"It belongs in a museum," Indiana Jones is fond of saying. More specifically: an American museum.
Along the way, whilst stealing a bunch of jungle people’s grandma’s junk, he burns a few snakes alive, drags a screaming Willie Scott through the jungle for the entire two hours of Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom, cheats at cards with a child, he (a man in his 30s) dates 15-year-old Marion Ravenwood and allows himself to get seduced by Elsa, a nazi, despite his father’s fervent warnings
Not only is Indy possibly the worst archaeologist in the world, but he did some pretty terrible things along the way too.
