What is the /co/ncensus?
I find weird that the series most recognizable elements and characters were introduced halfway through and how the first books feel completely different from the rest.

>>146121737
Tintin is great, he works in almost any setting.
>>
>>146121737
Because most old comic series changed through rules and distribution. Early Tintin were episodic than changed into album format. And young authors write differently than their older self.
>>
>>146121737
Very good comic series. Weird that the writer stopped making more stories in the 80s.

For a comic book whose titular character is a huge Gary Stu, has absolutely no personality and is frequently saved by Deus ex machina, it's pretty great.

It's one of the most beloved comics of all time, and seminal in the Franco-Belgian tradition.

>I find weird that the series most recognizable elements and characters were introduced halfway through and how the first books feel completely different from the rest.
Nigger, there are 46 years between the first and the last albums. And not just any 46 years, either. Half of Tintin's entire run predates the end of WWII. The comic feels very modern for how old it actually is. Its moon landing albums predate the actual moon landing by 15 years, for instance.

That’s what privatisation gets you. Shittier service at a higher cost to the people using it.

>>146127452
Scotland has a nationalised service and it still sucks the main problems in the UK come from a lack of ability to develop the rail infrastructure since the late 19th century
>>
>>146127452
The fundamental issue with British rail is that the actual structure and layout of the railways, particularly in the North, is just abysmal. That'd be true regardless of whether it's nationalised or privatised.

Tintin in America covered that, unironically

Tintin is kidnapped by Indians and is tied to a pole in their village, then overnight civilization happens and he wakes up in an urban area. The comic never did anything so surrealist ever again

I always found this comic surprisingly sympathetic to the natives, especially for the 1930s, with the way the businessmen pay the tribe barely anything for the rights to their oil, and then the soldiers force them off their land right after anyways.

Tell me you've never read Tintin without telling me you've never read Tintin.

For at least the first 7 books he jobs hard and bafflingly consistantly. He falls over, crashes every car, plane, motorbike or train he ever gets in, the bad guys catch him multiple times per book, his dog saves him more often than he saves his dog, the bad guys fool him every time they try.

It literally takes until the 6th book or whatever it is with the sceptre where he finally has an intelligent thought and realises that the professor he's minding has been swapped with a fake.

Is Tintin over the whole series a Gary Stu? It always felt like he has some plot armor of your standard hero of the story. Just like main characters in crime series.
>>
>>146140425
Not that anon, but I don't think that Mary Sue/Gary Stu/etc should ever be used outside of the context of badly written fanfiction.

With that said, Tintin albums are very much Boy's Own adventure fair, where perceived Gary Stu-like writing is a feature. Boys want to read about men or boys their own age doing cool stuff.
>>
>>146134497
The original title of Explorers on the Moon is On a marché sur la Lune, We Walked on the Moon. This title means we walked on Calculus. Incidentally, Calculus's name in French, Tournesol, means sunflower.

>>146140883

>>
>>146140425
Gary Stu doesn't mean a character has plot armor. It means your character is supposed to be seen as flawless or too beloved to the point it feels artificial or unearned.
And with how many enemies he's had Tintin isn't too beloved and with how often he gets knocked out and left for dead he isn't flawless.

He does have some super fucking plotarmor luck though.
I remember once he was tied to dumbbell weights an tossed to drown in the ocean, only for it to turn out the dumbbells were fake ones from the circus that the goons somehow mistakenly used.

A Gary Stu will always solve a problem very easily. Just like Rick and Morty does. I was just refering to Tintins luck and quick taking advantage of the situation.

Thanks, Anon. I had gone years without thinking about the fact that Tintin/Haddock shippers exist. And I'm bumping this goddamn thread because the rest of you can suffer with me
>>
>>
>>146141892
As I grew up I realized that a man in his late 40s/early 50s hanging out with a man in his 20s is kinda odd if they aren't relatives. What are other explanations then?
>>
>>146121737
Personal opinion: It's not that great on its own. Lacks the political edge that Soviet has and the more engaging plotline in America. The only fun to really get out of it is the out dated and offensive material presented in a very innocent way. I don't believe in removing it forever or anything but among the series I think it's probably the weakest.
>>
>>146142725
An apprenticeship?

>>146142725
Calculus also lives with them

>>146142725
Look, if I owed a guy as much as Haddock owes Tintin, and went through the things those two went through together, I'd make sure to not drift apart.

I joined a pisscord for Tintin fans, they're all fucking they/them zoomers posting their erotic homo fanart and retarded shipper theories. How the fuck do young weirdos even get into liking Tintin?

I've seen a number of nonbinary people and trans men into certain euro comics, and I can only surmise they wish they looked like that.
>>
>>146142725
Hergé is from a time when it wasn't odd for bachelors to live in a bedsit, or with a landlady somewhere (a hospita, that is an older woman renting out rooms in her home). Both of them living in a mansion leaves them with more space and privacy either of them could reasonably expect.

>>146142857
>How the fuck do young weirdos even get into liking Tintin?
If they're Eurofags, chances are good they read the comics when they were young. I'm kinda old myself, so I have no idea if the younger generations still read the same comics, but for my generation it's practically impossible to run into someone who didn't read Tintin when they were young, among other comics. If they're not Eurofags, idk. It's still one of the most well known comics in the world. Maybe they saw it at some point and thought Tintin and Haddock fit their image of a twink/bear pair? Not the worst comic for your dick to guide you to.

Friendship. Or some sort of mentorship. Sometimes an older person take someone under his wing. I agree that this often this means same profession like musicians or philosophs.
But i guess that this is common with jurnalists and reporters?
