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.
>>146121737Tintin is great, he works in almost any setting.
>>146121737Because 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.
>>146121737Very 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.
>>146121737Incredibly good and filters americans as most of them have never travelled outside of the US and don't know the wonders of weird cultures.
>>146122885anon we're having weird cultures pour into our country at rates you can only read about in kids picturebooks. Theres a reason we're so tired of it. We see it every fucking day.
>>146122940Some guy eating tacos while cutting your bushes is not a weird culture
>>146122998Tell that canadians, even the most liberal ones are having indian fatigue.
>>146121737Absolutely brilliant.The one good thing the French have ever sent across the Channel.
>>146123059It's Belgian...
>>146122998How interesting that you went right to hispanics when you thought weird culture... why is that?
>>146122197The artist of this fanart has sadly passed away.
>>146123388That's sad. Very well made fanart
>>146123388https://www.deviantart.com/charfade/journal/Remembering-Muzski-759402248It's been six years...
Tintin in Innsmouth
>>146123089french speaking belgium is still just france
>>146123089Still Franch, albeit a weird hodgepodge of French and German.
>>146125059Too many countries. It would so much easier if west and east Francia just reunited as a single European power.Actually all of Charlemagne’s empire would be based and redpilled. A Union of Europe.
>>146125315Not a fan of Europe in general, gross food, gross people, and shitty transportation (in the UK it can cost up to 100 pounds for a train ticket) I prefer the Eastern Bloc because yes they may be a bit trashy but they're real and honest about stuff.
>>146125337>in the UKDinstinctly not europe
>>146122197>>146123591>>146124660Is there anymore?
>>146125623https://tintinfanon.fandom.com/wiki/The_Weird_Adventures_of_Tintin
>>146125337>shitty transportation (in the UK it can cost up to 100 pounds for a train ticket)UK has some of the worst public transport infrastructure in the entirety of Europe. Even Italy has better train systems than the UK. FUCKING ITALY.
>>146124660>Lazily copypaste the monster.Soulless, Hergé would never.
>>146121737
>>146125623not by him but different artists have done some
>>146121737It'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.

My childhood.
>>146127391>lord miles>knowyourmememost forced meme if there ever was one
>>146126737That’s what privatisation gets you. Shittier service at a higher cost to the people using it.
>>146127452Scotland 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
>>146127452The 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.
>>146127352Imagine Tintin during the 2020 insurrection.
>>146127091>different artists have done someAnd they pop up in the strangest places
I wish to never become American, but I can feel myself slowly turning into one. Sad! Many such cases.
>>146129036What am I looking at?
>>146129219https://lawcomic.net/guide/?p=2618It's from a bit on how "taking the fifth" works, and webcomic creators are the scapegoat villains of the moment. https://lawcomic.net/guide/?p=2545
>>146121737Literally who
>>146123093NTA but the other anon did say "pour into our country" which sounds like mexican immigrant talk
>>146129398It's funny how clearly this is trying to do a pastiche but the artist is unable to actually pastiche the inking style
>>146131051Ligne Claire? Never heard of the bitch!
>>146131342She's right there-> >>146129036
>>146129036Flashing your panties seems like an effective distraction tactic, by the time I noticed the gun it would have been too late in a real combat situation.
>>146131051It's Paul Chadwick of Concrete fame.
>>146121737https://tintinfanon.fandom.com/wiki/Tintin_in_SwitzerlandThe thing I grew up with.
>>146131651Is Concrete any good? I hadn't heard of it before, looking for something new.
>>146131651I'm not saying it's bad, mind. Pastiches can be difficult, especially if you're an experienced artist- it's like switching method on a dime. It's just interesting to me that it becomes directly apparent in just the image itself
>>146132353Lmao sauce?
>>146132248Comment est la Suisse?
>>146122940Tintin in America covered that, unironicallyTintin 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
>>146134245It was a joke about boom towns, cause they found oil
>>146128949I wish there was a modern day Herge making TinTin style stories about our modern world.
>>146121737Ironically the actual Congo is one of the few places they actually still print and sell TinTin In The Congo.
>>146134311Ah yeah I forgot that bit
>>146134245I 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.
>>146134425Tintin is always on the side of the oppressed, anon
>>146134475Is this a reference to something?
>>146134261>illegal invasionas opposed to a legal one?
>>146135231"it's never illegal when we do it"that's how everyone thinks
>>146135231When north korea threw an atomic bomb on your land, you can legally invade north korea.
>>146134475Looks cool.
>>146121737Why is he on Mr. Popo's home planet?
>>146136687That's the Congo, on Earth.
>>146132339Pretty good.
>>146134497Yes.
How do you work with Hergé and miss the point this hard?
>>146133211what
>>146122375>Weird that the writer stopped making more stories in the 80sHe died, anon.
>>146122626>titular character is a huge Gary StuTell 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.
>>146139999Excuses, excuses!
>>146140019Is 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.
>>146140425Not 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.
>>146134497The 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.
>>146140425What are these covers?
>>146140883Some mockups some people at some website design company did for fun.
>>146140425Gary 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.
it was just a dream?
>>146140673Well said. And i agree.I would just add that it can be used for stuff written like fanfiction.>>146140883Got it from herehypnoluxo.com/blog/dystopian-tintin>>146141279A 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.
>>146141892Thanks, 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
>>146141892As 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?
>>146121737Personal 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.
>>146142725An apprenticeship?
>>146142725Calculus also lives with them
>>146142725Look, 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.
>>146142510I 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?>>146142725Not really, they saved each other's lives and busted an international drug gang together, I reckon that forms a pretty tight bond.
>>146129688Neat! Lost it at the Jeph Jaques caricature.
>>146142857I'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.
>>146142725Hergé 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.>>146143088>I've seen a number of nonbinary people and trans men into certain euro comicsWhich ones?
Haddock belongs to Castafiore, fools!
>>146143442>trusting Paris FlashJust another gossip magazine.
>>146142725Friendship. 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?
>>146142857>>146143300I guess parents that buy books or comics for their kids. Maybe school book programs or libraries.
>>146142857you say that as if Tintin was a niche franchise that no one has heard ofgranted it's legacy has diminished through the last decades, but that's another story>using pisscorddeserved
>>146140425>>146141667>ai slopDisgusting
>>146145340No.
>>146146666Yes.
