"gotta kill a hundred natives just to steal their artifact so I can stick it in my trophy room"
The most recent trilogy is better about that. 2013 has no natives, and Rise and Shadow both have her siding with the natives. Still snags a bunch of artifacts.
yeah but the original was honest. this cunt was rich as fuck, living in a gigantic mansion. it makes sense that's she's a psycho who hunts natives for sport and exterminates endangered and thought-to-be-extinct animals for trinkets that provide nothing but bragging rights.
It's interesting how much the general attitude has changed about shit like that. In the 90s, I didn't think twice about it, it was just a normal thing to imagine going to some location, killing anything that reacted with hostility to your presence, and taking back whatever you "found" for a vanity display or profit.
My reaction to Indiana Jones' "it belongs in a museum!" was that he was virtue signalling (back before it was even called that). I guess the bright side is that, even as a kid, I thought the idea that museums having some kind of special claim on anything was ridiculous.
