Just once I want to see a subversion of the trope where someone goes to another country/planet, and instead of the noble savage trope, they go home going “Oh yeah I’m never going back there, it sucks. I caught a rash where my entire arm turned a pinkish brown. Absolutely terrifying place”.
That, or they go to the other country, and are like “These savages are primitive, but they have PRIDE! They are a noble people!” and the natives aren’t even that different, they just have cassette tapes or use Betamax or HD-DVD. They’re sitting there watching Terminator or something and this guy is just freaking out. Oh! Oh the poor souls! Don’t they know that Blu Ray is the superior format?!
