Peaceful primitive planet,Society etc..
Enter Evil ,unscrupulous.Corporate profit Driven Eurocentric ( Evil white man) to plunder and Pillage for the corporate $$bottomline$$.Naive Young male protagonist ,who initially believes in the Ideals/Goals of " The Empire"
put in critical position to see true face of the so called
Savages/terrorists impeding the empires plans.Enter : Female member of the natives who is somehow
never just average but always signifigantly better looking,more intelligent, bold and daring than the rest of the native females, and she is often a Daughter,niece,etc of the tribal leadership or "royal family".Naive Young male protagonist Meets this "Supermodel class" native and starts to fall in love almost immediately as a contrived plot Device inevitably requires them to spend many hours alone together in the "deep woods"
"Supermodel class" native chick initially Despises the bungling "City boy" from "the evil empire" but inevitably is endeared/humored by his Fumbling attempts to Climb a tree or some other local skill.
Cliched "sexual tension" begins.( are they gonna kiss!!)
Sometimes( not always) a local native A-type Male who was Assumed to be her intended Suitor/mate by tribal tradition will be a continued threat to the life/general safety of Naive Young male protagonist and cause him many problems.
Naive Young male protagonist,not so Naive anymore miraculously begins to see the brutality
of his beloved Empire.Which leads inevitable Mutiny and joining natives for "Against all odds" Climactic battle with Ultra Cliched Grizzled Veteran Emperial Field Commander who has over the top Southern
Redneck Accent.
"Y'all done fugot who Y'all is boy!!"
You really think yous gonna take her back home to Texas for Christmas at grandma's".
