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.
