@loveartyou here is the link for the movie

It is a fun experience watching this movie! You enjoy iconic moments as:

Also the most underrated friendship in canon ever, Haddock with Thompsons!

Enjoy the journey!

i came across your blog just today and i loved going through it, it's so nice to see someone who loves the stories as much as i do!! 6, 12, 16, 20 and 36 for the tintin ask please, thank you ���

Oh my gosh thank you so much 🥺 my love for the series is too obvious at this point to be hidden but I'm very glad that you enjoyed your trip in my brainrot and I'm always grateful for all of you and your support 💖

Alright let's go to the asks!

6. Least favorite villain and why?

The villains are a very fascinating aspect of the series because, although the stories aren't villain centric, the characters show some interesting aspects (and they have done AWFUL things alright). So the least favourite villain for me is someone who barely made any impression like the mafia bosses in Tintin in America I guess?

12. Which media do you prefer and why?

The comics because I simply ADORE comics but also because I can't help be fascinated by how Herge and his team managed to narrate such stories with such efficiency and clarity and still allowing the reader to make a more in depth reading.

However I must admit that the movie of 2011 and the cartoon series are such comfort shows for me and I am impressed with them despite not following 100% the original stories because I can just feel the love for the original behind them, you know, and you can't but respect that.

16. Rank your order: Tintin media

Aaaa this is hard! I'll rank them by what I enjoyed more, without taking into account if they're faithful to the canon or whatever criteria so please, it's just personal taste, no effort to be objective (and I include only those I have read/seen).

Comics

2011 movie

Cartoon series

60's movies

The lake of sharks

Damn I want to look at the other adaptations too!

20. A character you don’t understand the hype over?

Hmmm that's tough... Besides the main cast there's not enough discussion about the other characters and therefore not that much hype? And I can't say the main characters because I am too so hyped 😂

Alright I'm gonna say that at the beginning I was surprised by how much Tintin fans love Chang since he didn't appear that much or Alcazar even! But I like these characters too and I do believe we need more of them so yeah you keep up the work, guys!

All of you guys continue hype over every character, no matter if they appeared once or all the time 👏

36. Which version of Tintin is your favourite?

@bleubeurre 's Petitintin

Kaskdmdm alright seriously speaking my favourite Tintin and the one I usually take into consideration when I create something with him is a hybrid of Tintin from the late comics and Tintin from the 2011 movie. You might find my answer weird but for me even Tintin in the comics is not the same throughout all the books. If you tell me you like comic!Tintin be prepared to ask you which phase, the pre Blue Lotus, pre The Crab with the Golden Claws, pre Explorers on the Moon, pre Tibet, after Tibet? That's why I also don't understand how people say Tintin from 2011 movie is out of character since he resembles very much a side of the character that it was shown in a degree throughout all the series, the "bastard" side of Tintin let's say, the one who is open to his negative emotions and this close to punch you.

[lexintothenex]

hi lex. i like all your tintin posting. if i want to watch some of his cartoons where do you suggest i start? feel free to elaborate as much as you desire...

HI JASON!!!!! OH BOY OH BOY OKAY SO. first thing's first: THE 1991 NELVANA CARTOON. the piece of media that has the ABSOLUTE best and most faithful adaptations of the comics. it's all over on the internet archive and it is SUCH a fun time (the version uploaded on there is the american broadcast version - there aren't any huge changes from the european one but it does have a slightly different opening sequence which, in my opinion, does not go As Hard, but it is what it is XD).

if you'd ever wanna give the original comics a read, they're all up over on the internet archive, too! there's a lot of them so I'm just gonna link you to this helpful comprehensive list of them all in order put together by the user cryptid-phoenix.

there are the cartoons by belvision as well, but those are... well, they're fun, sure, but I don't know if I would go into the series with them, LOL. the temple of the sun (1969) and the lake of sharks (1972) are great movies, though! I own them both on DVD and I love them.

[aagatinha]

Hii! Thought i'd pop by And ask.. Did you become a tintin fan after you watched the 2011 movie Or read One of the books?

I remember that since i was in kindergarten, at the age of 6, i fell in love with Tintin. The only contact i had until the year 2011 was with the animated series from 1991. Unfortunately, i never had the opportunity to have his comics, so i kind of turned to look for more of Tintin when i had internet access in the mid-2013, where i delved deeper into it and managed to watch the live action and other animated content like the lakes of sharks.

I still don't have a Tintin collection 😔, but with the support of the internet i managed to read two comics – but i still hope to read more and have the opportunity to have the books in hand.

Tintin and the Chris Shaped Dream

I had a dream that I was at a library and found some nonexistent Tintin books one called Ibyl or Iybl and another called either "Tintin and the Chris Shaped Contraption/Transportation" or "Tintin: Professor Calculus and the Chris Shaped Contraption/Transportation". In my dream Chris was the British spelling for car.

In my dream, the Chris one was a semi-canon book like Tintin: Lake of the Sharks though it wasn't an adaptation of an animated movie like Lake of the Sharks was. Ibyl/Iybl was a licensed re-edit (that changed the plot) of a dream version of Tintin in the Congo or maybe a fictional book called Tintin in Egypt which wasn't the same as Cigars of the Pharaoh.

The Chris one involved a railroad track near a villa and a villa owned by some Tintin villains under aliases. If memory serves, it was Dr. Muller, Dawson from Blue Lotus, and some other third guy who was another villain under an alias but it wasn't clear, maybe Omar ben Salaad. I think Oliveira de Figueira was also there or maybe just a bad guy who looked like him. I was clearly mentally influenced by Tintin and the Alph-Art with Endaddine Akass and his villa and that name being an alias. It also involved the titular Chris Shaped Whatevermydreamsaid which was a vehicle created by Professor Calculus. I think the villains wanted it? And the Chris Shaped Whatevermydreamsaid was on the railroad track at one point near the end before Tintin encountered the villains at the villa

Iybl was a political satire that took place in 2024 about Tintin being hired (by a political org?) to do something in either Egypt or Congo. I think Egypt since I remember the pyramids of Giza. Iybl and the dreamified version of Tintin in the Congo fluctuated in my dream.

The Congo one (which wasn’t Iybl) at one point started with a first person thing where I was Tintin in a car driving across a freeway in a modern city. I remember looking out the window and seeing the reflection of the bright orangey-yellow sun. And I think either a scene (maybe the freeway one) or the cover or another panel was Tintin sitting in one of those high chairs that people carry that had some visual resemblance to this cover.

I remember Iybl's coloring and art style looking like the coloring of that colored version of Tintin in the Land of the Soviets while the Chris one looked like a standard Hergé story albeit maybe a bit more detailed? In my dream the Chris one I had had more paper pages than the plasticy pages of current Tintin printings.

Iybl was inbetween Tintin in the Congo and Cigars of the Pharaoh.

Hello fellow tintin fan I have two recommendations but both require u to like the genre they are. One is an animated tintin movie, lake of the sharks! It didn't have a book originally but it's good and has a lot of recurring characters. The other is a fanfic but if you're not interested I get that, it's called Kaitou Red on ao3 and the author has a blog about it here

Anyway love the tintinposting lol

HI sorry i have been meaning to respond to this but I definitely intend to watch the cartoons later probably after i finish all the comics! i dont really read fanfiction but that one does look intetesting... im a little daunted by the word count but i will save that for later too 😁

[loveydoveylex]

oKAY just a couple more tintins from the lake of sharks cus I love him so much and I just got done rewatching it and I WANT TO SHOW OFF MY BOYFRIEND TO EVERYONE 💖 he looks so good in that jacket!!! I love him more than my life!!!

[airyairyaucontraire]

Well to be fair, the Tintin books aren’t exactly that easy to adapt to film - because then they’d be short (not counting multiparters like the Seven Crystal Balls, or the Moon Arc). To be really faithful they’re better suited for TV like the 90’s version. So choices have to be made. It’s still miles better than “Lake of the Sharks” was

Lake of Sharks was an original story though, wasn't it (and I agree, not very good)? Also, they don't feel to me like they'd be short, but I accept decisions have to be made on the basis that at this stage, in this media environment, you're trying to introduce and establish characters for an audience who may be new to them while satisfying people who have been fans of them all their lives. Hergé didn't think about any of these things when he began the series because it was 1929 and no such expectations existed and he was making it up as he went, so there's no "origin story" as such to adapt (and that's okay).

None of this was me saying it's not a good choice for the situation as it was, just that it's an interesting contrast with the source material and the motivations the characters could have in that because of their existing relationships. When you make that change, Tintin has to do the same thing in order for the story to happen, but he can't do it for the same reasons.
