Do you think he has a big cock

Some of the books are excellent..
Herge told some good stories.

Love it

Grew up reading tintin. Amazing series.

loved it, still do, I actually enjoyed the movie that came out a little while back
he does, I would know cause my uncle showed me his 50 year old tintin pornography collection

My mum wouldn't let me watch it due to the language

I reall like Tintin. Also really enjoyed the 2011 movie. Here's hoping we get another one.

Didn't he get shot once or did my childhood mind totally misremember everything?

He got GOAT animated adaptation

>50 year old tintin pornography collection
This exists?

The animu was better

I loved it. It was my earliest introduction to comics as a child and was my second favorite series behind Asterix & Obelix.

he's better in the manga

yes, it does
apparently it was really good porn cause it won awards

Timeless classics, very comfy.

blistering mother fucking barnacles Tintin is great, the comics are great and the movie is great.

yeah there was one story where he gets shot, i believe it was an attempted assassination. i dont remember which one though

I love it.

...

Very nice series with interesting and well plotted stories. Its a little bit too clean, but with that its safe to give it to anyone. Even the more creepy and mature themes are understandable presented.
This is the father and best example of action detective story for all ages.

I loved the fact that they blatantly shows african are black (colored by pitch black) and stupid, it really captures the old times when people dont really care whether its racist or not.

I've read Tintin Au Congo and i believe people would go batshit crazy if it is released now.

>the panel where the two dudes who fight him for a statue on a boat fall into the sea and drown
For whatever reason this exposure to, albeit fantasy, fatality stuck with my young self,

I heard that this book is very popular in Congo.

I remember borrowing a book out from the library when I was a kid, and going to see the movie years later. What are the some of best stories? Might read some when I have the chance

God tier, except when it started to go off the rails a bit at the end.

Kek. Herge, you cheeky devil.

>except when it started to go off the rails a bit at the end.
Anything particular you thought of?

Was Tintin gay?

Only for adventure, if adventure was human and a dude.

Does anyone else like Castafiore Emerald the best?

No globe trotting stuff, just a laid back adventure in the manor grounds.

I always liked Tintin in Tibet, The Blue Lotus, Prisoners of the Sun and The Secret of the Unicorn

youtube.com/watch?v=N_EK_tFz9ug

One of the greatest adventuring themes of all time.

Yeah, not one of my favorites but definitely can see reason why people liked it.
Recently we found the Tintin collection my father had, unfortunately some books were missing and some were damaged, you can still read them though

I am European so of course I like him. He is pretty big and popular here. You can't really avoid him. Sadly my GF hates the fuck out of him so it's fun to trigger her each time with something Tintin related. That red rocket is such an iconic thing you will just see being sold in shops or people use as keychains.

I actually liked the video games, some of them but I guess I am not allowed to talk about video games on here?

So let's say the cartoons are fun. The movie would often get aired here. You know where he is somewhere in East Europe with those two little kids. He cover of the comic even has film stripes. I own every comic and I enjoy the simple art style.

Now can we talk about Hergé being a "racist" by today's standards?

This.

I did not expect much from the movie but WOW it is actually VERY VERY GOOD and a solid film. I think I can convince my Tintin hating girlfriend to enjoy a bit out of Tintin by showing her the movie because this is something really all folks can enjoy

On average, how often does he faints/gets knocked out/unconscious per book?

it ends with the yeti
probably has puffy boy hole as well desu

It just lost some of the "feel" of Tintin for me, particularly Flight 714. (Tintin in the Himalayas was still GOAT, though.) It's hard to articulate. I'm not going to say it became bad, just that it dropped a notch.

It has already triggered the debate: was Hergé racist or a man of his (racist) time?

Hadock is the alcoholic failure we all wish we could be.

God dammit, just let the man rest in peace, he died decades ago and people still want to hold him to today's standards to imagine if he would get killed by the public or kill himself because of the pressure. Is sick as fuck.

>Asterix & Obelix
>Tintin
Absolutely patrician, user

Well they're the two most famous French or Belgian comic series everywhere.

Hey guys, what's up?

Not that user but me getting Asterix and Tintin as a clueless kid, when those were among the most popular books, wasn't exactly a patrician move.

Saw an animated adaptation of that in the early 90's. Had no idea what it was at the time despite being a fan of both Tintin and Asterix & Obelix, i thought it was some bootleg Mario Brothers ripoff.

Greatest one right here.
Prisoners of the Sun is a great follow up.

Love Spirou & Fantasio, always have. The TV cartoons were shit though.

Sheesh user, careful not to get yourself.

Then where is it?

So many nightmares

He's pretty based to be honest

It is actually, they sell it in shops as a way to promote tourism

They should be required reading for any European kid, along with Gaston Lagaffe and Spirou

Herge wasnt rascist, he was conform with his time. And as an artist you draw from stereotypes.
You can see how his view change with time, ww2 and modernism.

Tintin, Asterix, Spirou, Lucky Luke i would consider good reading material.

Btw i had Asterix in latein.

Around the time of the Golden Lotus he started putting more care into his portrayals. Tintin and his chinese friend have a discussion about stereotypes for example

I've never read the comics but I saw the movie and I enjoyed it.

Sup Forums in a nutshell

>Sequel never

Dad used to storytime some of the comics he had. They were all in French.

When is Spielberg gonna make another movie?

My man. Asterix and Tintin were my introduction to comics as well.

>tfw playing Assassin's Creed Origins and no sight of Asterix with Cleopatra

When I was a kid I loved Asterix, but I never got into Tintin. Something about it didn't appeal to me. Maybe just because it was less funny.

But now I really want to buy the Tintin box set.

Nice. If you're English Poundland sells it if you can find it in there lol

didn't it actually show them going to hell?

Demons dragging them off to hell, yes.

absolute kino

Thanks user. My father and his side of the family is European, so they always brought me Tintin and Asterix to the states. I've got Lucky Luke, Donald Duck and Titeuf too, but they're in Finnish so I can't read them besides getting the gist from the images.

Fucking power creep. also weird how he's all friendly with japs now even though he knows firsthand all the shit they did in China.

That one comic he wrote while Nazis were occupying his country, The shooting star

Where Tintin has to go to look for a fallen meteorite with european scientists while american jewish banker tries to use all the dirty tricks in his book so that his guys get there first and claim it for him.

I love them, but the Moon books are really the last GREAT books. The ones that came after that are still a lot of fun, but noticeably less good.

Which ones are Sup Forums's favorites?

There's no debate really, Hergé didn't document himself for shit until the Blue Lotus, so he went with what the media of the time told him Congo and America were. Even Blue Lotus' portrayal of the Japanese makes sense when you consider his main source of information was Chinese.

That debate existed when he was alive.

Colonialist propaganda.

Isn't that the one that ends in "it was all a dream"?

For me, it's a tie between Calculus, Red Sea Sharks and Golden Claws. I love all of Hergé's works but theses are the one i prefer.

My favorite Tintin story is Tintin and the Golden Fleece (Tintin et le Mystère de La Toison d'or). It's a movie, the first adaption of Tintin, if i recall correctly.

I love it when Herge tries to incorporate real world events like the Second Sino-Japanese War and Manchuria as a backdrop in the Blue Lotus.

Don't recall offhand any of the stories ending like that but I know specifically that that one didn't.

The banker arms dealer funding both sides of the war in Broken Ear was a Rothschild stand-in, but that got changed in a later edition for being too true under the guise of racism as well.

Tintin himself gives multiple speeches about how we should respect other people and cultures and even has a conversation about racial propaganda with Chang. People saying Hergé is anything other than a humble, yet racially aware person who likes everyone haven't read Tintin.

My 3 favorite albums would be Calculus Affair, Red Sea Sharks and the Secret of the Unicorn.
Favorite one not featuring Haddock is probably Ottocar's sceptre

I'm fairly certain there's at least a dream sequence in it.

Tintin has a dream when lies on the couch where the Crazy guy acting as a seer foretells the disaster that is coming, a giant spider. Influenced by the fact that he saw the crazy guy before and that spider in the telescope.
And of course, he actually encounters a giant spider later

I mean, it was the state of that country at that point. It would be like setting a comic in 2017 Syria and it not being at war.

>And of course, he actually encounters a giant spider later
Wait fucking really. I could have sworn that was only in a dream. Welp my mistake I guess.

The meteor makes things grow, remember?

He made two propaganda books the sort his catholic publisher liked, made a book set in the US that existed in the heads of his and other europeans and then finally had a long talk with a chinese dude who told him that jesus christ, are you actually serious about all of this?

After that, he pretty much went on to define what's supposed to go into the production of a Francobelgian comic in terms of research.

So thanks, chinese dude, you actually made comics good for us.

Yeah, as I said I thought all of that whacky shit was part of the dream.

This is more or less correct. There's third guy though, who was the one who really noticed that Hergé didn't know what the fuck he was writing about
>At the close of the newspaper run of Cigars of the Pharaoh, Hergé had mentioned that Tintin's next adventure (The Blue Lotus) would bring him to China. Father Gosset, the chaplain to the Chinese students at the University of Leuven, wrote to Hergé urging him to be sensitive about what he wrote about China. Hergé agreed, and in the spring of 1934 Gosset introduced him to Zhang Chongren.
That being said the first 3 books are entertaining in their own ways too.

To be fair it is a pretty wacky book.

Herge is an example of a once genuinely racist person who realized he was hurting people and cleaned up his act. Good mojo.

Of course Sup Forums loves him because, in 1929, before all of this, he was "unashamed to openly say blacks are stupid."

>714

Fucking fever dream that one. Did Herge just stumble onto Doctor Who and Star Trek during 1966 when he wrote it or something and decide "Aw shit I gotta get me summa that"?

You know what, I hadn't thought of that confluence of events before but it actually sounds quite plausible.

Via the Wikiped:
>Hergé ... sought to provide answers to two questions: "Are there other inhabited planets? And are there 'insiders' who know it?"
>Hergé had a longstanding interest in paranormal phenomena, and believed that a story with such elements would appeal to the growing interest in the subject.
>He was particularly influenced by Robert Charroux's Le Livre des Secrets Trahis ("The Book of Betrayed Secrets"), which expounded the idea that extraterrestrials had influenced humanity during prehistory.

Practically every sci-fi short story in the 50's to 70's is about those themes.

No idea if they exist in English but for the interested, Gordon Zola wrote a parody/sequel of Tintin, featuring Tintin's son.

And only write, they're novels.

I remember when Blue Lotus wasn't on that list because it involved an opium den.

Holy shit those are horrifying.
The puns, I mean. Never read the books.

>Calculus
Why ? why did they have to translate Tournesol to calculus ?... does sunflower sound that bad ?

It comes around every tintin thread, and I say the same each time : look up Jacques Bergier ; Mitz, the friend of aliens is inspired by him. The Morning of the Magicians (1960) was a good selling book then, and later he was involved in the magazine Planète which promoted all those ideas, covering para-science, etc. and ran during all of the 60s. And if anyone points toward the lovecraft parody covers, Bergier was the one who introduced him in France.

Professor Tryphon Sunflower dosen't sound as good as Cuthbert Calculus for a science man name

Tournesol comme nom, ca sort de nulle part aussi

I have a personal soft spot for Red Rackham's Treasure, since it directly plays into my love of submarines and deep sea exploration
