#and its adaptation

[sparrowlucero]

like the most politically neutered movie of all time unironically

Okay but as Belgian that grew up with Tintin and actually interned with the Moulinsart publishing house at one point, I absolutely love this

This is a really insightful and on point analysis, that also applies to the perception of various french accents!

Because Tintin is from Brussels - he's native french speaker, but it's not 'France french', it's 'Belgian french' which are not quite the same things - think British Vs American English, with the French (specifically Parisian area french people) making a lot of fun of Belgians for not speaking 'proper french', the difference in vocabulary and for their Belgian accent. It's never quite specified if he's from a rich family originally, but it's not impossible that he would have grown up in middle or lower class areas of town and have a native 'brusseleer' accent. This is further proven when looking at Hergé's other works, in particular 'Quick et Flupke', a series of bande dessinée following the antics of two brusseleer kids from the Marolles district of Brussels (their names are Brusseleers variation of Patrick and Philip, respectively )

And the brusseleer accent is, to this day, in the eyes of many, not a desired accent/an accent seen as very professional.

As a reporter that travels the world *a lot*, Tintin would probably have had to adapt his way of speaking and his pronunciation to appear more professional, and would probably have defaulted to the french equivalent of RP when speaking French. His English accent would probably depend on who taught him, but again he would probably have caught on quickly on which accent/pronunciation was preferable and adapted to that

And it's also interesting to note - looking at the various movies and animated adaptations of Tintin, along with the radio adaptation

6 out of 8 Tintin actors/voice actors were French, not Belgian. The movies in question (3 movies but two of the movies were with the same actor) were produced in 61 (Tintin et le Mystère de la toison d'or - Jean-Pierre Talbot plays Tintin), 64 (Tintin et les oranges bleues - Jean-Pierre Talbot) and 72 (Tintin et le lac aux requins - Jacques Careuil) respectively.

I remember discussing Tintin casting choices with a friend from Germany and remarked how it was odd he often has an English accent in adaptations rather than a Belgian one, and my friend just replied "that's because Tintin gives incredibly strong English boy energy (derogatory)"

Here in the UK there's a lot of weird classism tied into accents. Today accent diversity and representation in broadcasting is actively pursued but in Tintin's time there certainly was a preferred accent to have.

imagine this exchange happens between pages 28-29 in The Crab with the Golden Claws

cant tell you how bad it feels to constantly tell other artists to come to tumblr, because its the last good website that isn't fucked up by spoonfeeding algorithms and AI bullshit and isn't based around meaningless likes

just to watch that all fall apart in the last year or so and especially the last two weeks

there's nowhere good to go anymore for artists.

edit - a lot of people are saying the tags are important so actually, you'll look at my tags.

#please dont delete your accounts because of the AI crap. your art deserves more than being lost like that #if you have a good PC please glaze or nightshade it. if you dont or it doesnt work with your style (like mine) please start watermarking #use a plain-ish font. make it your username. if people can't google what your watermark says and find ur account its not a good watermark #it needs to be central in the image - NOT on the canvas edges - and put it in multiple places if you are compelled #please dont stop posting your art because of this shit. we just have to hope regulations will come slamming down on these shitheads#in the next year or two and you want to have accounts to come back to. the world Needs real art #if we all leave that just makes more room for these scam artists to fill in with their soulless recycled garbage #improvise adapt overcome. it sucks but it is what it is for the moment. safeguard yourself as best you can without making #years of art from thousands of artists lost media. the digital world and art is too temporary to hastily click a Delete button out of spite

Was looking at refs and since Viktor has two different leg braces I was wondering, do we think he wears them simultaneously?? The refs don't perfectly line up perspective-wise so it's hard to tell but parts of the one he wears during the Hexcore scenes look like they could maybe line up with the brace that he wears over his clothes, but also some parts really don't and look like they'd be super uncomfy. Also HOW does he take these on and off. Experts weigh in

yellowfang, i wish you were here. my sister is dying.

ID in alt and under cut

ID: digital painting of Cinderpelt and Brightpaw from Warriors. They are two cats curled around each other. Brightpaw, a ginger-and-white cat, is badly injured with cobwebs as bandages around her face and other injuries. She is unconscious and lying on her side in a moss nest. Cinderpelt, a gray cat, is curled around her with her tail over Brightpaw's back, looking at her with concern. They are in a shaded den surrounded by autumnal ferns, with a pool of water in the corner, and a strip of bright sunlight illuminating their faces. end ID.

Given that you're the de facto person who comes to mind when the Odyssey is mentioned...thought you should know Christopher Nolan is doing an adaptation

I'm just kind of giggling about it to be honest. Like Nolan is great I'm sure, I've heard lots about his movies. But the idea of Tom Holland possibly being like Telemachus or something (god forbid Odysseus) is so funny. Who's playing Odysseus here? Matt Damon? Robert Pattinson?? I think Pattinson should be able to do whatever he wants

forever mourning how granada holmes never adapted the three garridebs. diabolical. unbelievable, even. 'if you had killed watson you would not have made it out of this room alive' but in brett's frightfully intense and low, biting, hissing voice. the violent, wild stare versus the gentle hand on watson's knee. all of that precarious control getting flung out the window. the humanity of it. gritting my teeth can you fucking imagine.
