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?!
Alien, that movie is 100% "this place sucks, we should never visit again". Aliens just proves it right, because the place indeed still sucks and going back was a very bad idea.
