Whether you've arrived in uncharted territory or taken over a place (or even a vehicle, like a ship) from your adversary, you need some way to demonstrate your ownership. So, do you visit an office? Update a map or owner's title? No, you plant a flag. This is a common trope in explorer fiction, with the adventurer sticking a flag in the dirt while dramatically declaring that he claims the land in the name of whatever group he represents (regardless of natives' or rivals' opinions). In cases in which this trope appears for captured ships or fortifications, the lowering of the old flag and the raising of the conqueror's symbolizes the change in affiliation. See also Iwo Jima Pose, which also involves planting a flag, and Sword Plant, which can overlap if the flagpole is weaponized. If the claim might be disputed, then planting a flag may be Throwing Down the Gauntlet. |

The 1951 Looney Tunes cartoon "Hare We Go" has Bugs Bunny join Christopher Columbus on his voyage across the Atlantic Ocean. When rations run short, Captain Columbus tries to make a meal of the rabbit. The chase is interrupted when the ship runs aground. Realizing that they've landed on the New World, Bugs exults, "Bugs Bunny discovers America!" However, Columbus brought the Spanish standard and has planted it on a nearby hill. "Oh, Bugs-a Bunny? Who'sa discover America?" Shrugging off the slight, Bugs takes the loss well: "No sense changing all the history books just for little ol' me." | |

Five Weeks in a Balloon. The plot of the movie involves a race between the British Empire and a group of slavers to claim uncharted land in West Africa near the Volta River. If the slavers succeed, they will be able to use the land in their slavery operations. Whichever side plants their flag first gets control of the land. At the end of the movie, the British flag is planted first, denying the slavers the land. | |

Final Fantasy XIV: In Stormblood, the plan to take Castrum Velodyna involves using Glamour Prisms, items that can change an object's outside appearance, to transform the gigantic Garlean flag hanging from the fortress into the flag of Ala Mhigo tricking Imperial forces in the field into thinking it had already been taken in their absence when, in fact, it was a small force assaulting the place. The resulting morale drop, and the Ala Mhigans' and Alliance's morale boost forces the Garleans into retreat. | |

Mars Attacks!: After a tense standoff, the President proposes a truce, and extends his hand for a handshake. The Martian commander seems to concur, until his "hand" (really a small robot) detaches, skitters along the President's arm, and stops in the middle of his back. There, it embeds the Martian flag, with the pole skewering the President's heart. He topples over prone, of course. | |

In In Our Shadow during the Rat Empire's first conflict with the Lemurs of Madagascar they sent a single mech that tore the entire Lemur military to pieces, then the pilot got out and planted the Empire's flag on the island. Explained as their having no interest in the southern hemisphere beyond ensuring that the sapient animals down there pose no threat to them, so they simply make an overwhelming display of force to cow them into submission. | |

Doctor Who: In the Third Doctor story "The Time Warrior", the first thing the Sontaran captain Linx does after exiting his spaceship, to the bemusement of the watching locals of medieval England, is to plant a standard from which a couple of flags pop out, play the Sontaran national anthem, and claim Earth (and any moons and satellites it might have) for the Sontaran Empire. The Thirteenth Doctor story "War of the Sontarans" reveals that the Sontarans fully believe this claim is valid, even centuries later. | |

Who'sa discover America?" Shrugging off the slight, Bugs takes the loss well: "No sense changing all the history books just for little ol' me." Looney Tunes Cartoons: A recurring series of "mini-shorts" feature Marvin the Martian landing on a planet to claim for Mars, only for something strange to happen when he tries to plant the flag. The 1950 Merrie Melodies cartoon "Bunker Hill Bunny" has Bugs Bunny on the side of the American Revolution, holding down a picket fort by himself. His opponent is Sam von Schamm the Hessian, manning a stonework fort by himself. Twice, the two combatants charge at each other, narrowly miss, and end up in the other's fort. There, they switch flags to denote the change in management. |

Wander over Yonder: Whenever Lord Hater conquers a planet, one of the first things he does is plant his flag. This is deconstructed in "The Axe", where Hater learns that he lost all his planets because he didn't back up the flags with a battalion to defend his territory. | |
