Why Tintin isn't popular in America when it's the most acclaimed comic in the rest of the world.
Why Tintin isn't popular in America when it's the most acclaimed comic in the rest of the world
Justin Price
Andrew Lewis
It was never made widely available to people. The only way you can get Tintin in the US is if you hear about it online or from one of your friends' immigrant parents, and then no bookstores had it so you had to order it online.

Asterix was translated into any language ever.
I bet there is even a C+ version.

Anyone watched the new one? Is it good?

Tintin was on HBO and Cartoon Network over 2 decades ago. Sadly the '11 dumpster fire of a movie killed any interest

Americans made a movie for it, OP. It's popular enough for a European comic only available in a British translation.
>implying

Evan Hughes
manga capeshit you mean
Blake Gomez
Because Americans are stupid and don't like any comic that isn't capeshit. Also Indiana Jones copied Tintin so Americans automatically assume Tintin is a ripoff of that even though it came first.

So? That doesn't mean it's not popular in the USA. You're committing a relevance fallacy.
Blake Hill

It's extremely boring. Was probably exciting back in the 1930s though. I think it's still relevant in other countries because the rest of you are a bit behind the times on technology e.g. apparently a lot of Europeans didn't even get internet access until after the Nolan Dark Knight movie was in theaters.

It was a fairly entertaining action movie, but it completely missed the spirit of the original comics. Tintin was about solving mysteries and going on adventure, not shootouts and motorcycle chases.
That and trying to mix photo-realistic motion capture animation with the slapstick cartoony style of Tintin was weird and uncanny.

Xavier Carter
Astérix never had a cartoon, it had a couple animated movies and a few live action ones. Incidentally, both the animated and live-action adaptations of Astérix et Cléopâtre are the best of their respective genres (with the live-action version having the added benefit of also being the literal only good live-action Astérix movie).
I think most of the animated movies have English dubs, don't know about the live-action ones (but again, most of them sucked ass anyway). No idea where one would go to watch them though. I guess there's torrents floating around. I'm lucky enough to live in Québec where all the animated Astérix movies are shown yearly around Christmas time as part of cinematic tradition, alongside the Tintin movies and others, but no idea what the deal is with the English versions, who owns them and distribute them or anything.
Also was your gnome cartoon David the Gnome? I don't remember much about that show beyond really liking it, they might have been doctors for what I remember.
Jaxon James
Its not that great, would not buy/pay to see.
Gabriel Sanchez
I just hate how the live action Asterix movies turned out.
>Astérix & Obélix
The epitome of an okay movie. Very little to say there except the director produced the better Cleopatra movie. Does well domestically and very well internationally on a 42 mil Euro budget.
>Cleopatra
Probably the best comedy BD adaptation. It's respectful of the source material but adds its own humor (circa 2000 Canal+ humor). Does very well domestically but less so internationally on a 50 mil Euro budget.
>Olympics
Suddenly it's an international movie that's overproduced to hell, it feels like about 30 executives had their grubby mitts in deciding what the fuck would be in the movie. Alexandre Astierr and stupid cameos by athletes are basically the only okay things about it. This movie gave Benoit Poelvoorde depression. Does awful domestically and about the same as Cleopatra internationally on a fucking 78 mil Euro budget (highest budget ever for a "French" movie until Valerian).
>Britain
They either didn't succeed or didn't even try, but this time they didn't have an international production, despite British culture being way more relevant in France and internationally than whoever the fuck the German guy in Olympics was. So you get French actors trying (but really not hard at all) to fake a British accent. It would have been so easy to just throw Rowan Atkinson and Charlotte Rampling in there instead for fuck's sake.
Everything about it is terrible, every bit casting is bad, actors don't try, the script is awful, it's unfunny, it's boring. A couple of the sets take it up to "that's borderline okay". It keeps so little of the original album and the little it does it executes like shit. It's almost fascinatingly bad.
It did terrible both domestically and internationally, thank fucking Belenos, on a 51 mil budget.
Last I heard they're setting the next one in China, which sounds fucking awful.
Astier should have taken over the live action movies instead of the animated ones.
Eli Green
>until Valerian
Now here's another terrible, terrible movie adaptation of an Euro comic. The blatant China fellating throughout the movie made me want to puke and who in the fuck thought the guy who played Harry Osborn in those shitty Mark Webb movies would be a good lead actor?
Thankfully the early 2000's anime (which they've officially all uploaded on youtube around the release of the movie) was fantastic and washed the awful taste the movie left in my mouth.

That's true of anything. One Piece is big as fuck in Japan but it has barely any presence in the west. It never touched Naruto or Bleach never mind DBZ

Also Kiwi, can confirm. I was shopping for my Dad today and saw what looked like the entire selection on sale at Whitcoulls. There wasn't any American capeshit in sight.

>>Over saturated market
the pathetic numbers comics make for the whole USA would be consider a failure in Europe.
Anthony Sanders
Oliver Watson
The really painful thing is that a huge number of European comics only ever get English translations if the creators think there is an American market these days.
You'll see French, German, Spanish and Italian translations of numerous comics but nothing in English even though the UK is just over the water and they would be bound to pick up buyers from other anglosphere areas even if you don't have a dedicated American release.
Dominic Smith
Yeah, that's why the author of MHA made such a big Tintin easter egg in one of his last arcs (central character with more focus on him than the mc).
Also, it would be François, user.

Kek, remind me of the first live actor for Tintin that was just a regular teacher yet took heavy training in judo, climbing, swiming, driving and pretty much everything because he wanted to do all his stunts by himself.
Even got a medal because the locals were impressed by him climbing over some castle by himself.

That's literally just one book though: Tintin in the Congo. And that one came with massive warning stickers about its problematic content. They literally had to put a big banner over the first English release.

Gabriel Adams
I really love this page.
Alexander Phillips
>Anyone read Tintin and Alph-Art by the way? I found it fascinating as a kid. It's the final Tintin book and very unfinished.

Samuel Sanders
1. Belgians don't care about fragile American feefees and cult of outrage
2. Many of these were written at a time when Africans were literally a tourist attraction in a zoo (as late as 1958) and asians were only known from anti-jap propaganda from WW2
Zachary Rodriguez
Not quite as amateur hour as Wakfu, but not quite as good as Miraculous, just subpar performances and some questionable localization/translation choices from what I've watched. I guess it's serviceable if you don't understand French, but otherwise I'd urge anyone who can to watch it in French. They really should have added an English subtitle track to the French uploads.
Jack Kelly
Tintin pretty much stops being "racist" (or rather using Caricature that people these days call racist) by the late 30s.
Jace Green
I think that many of the Americans who call this "racist" simply don't understand that Europeans mean no insult with those "caricatures". They need to understand that unlike America, Europe was always very racially homogenous until the late 70s. Most people had never even seen an African/East Asian in their life until then.

Best way to buy Tintin as an American? Heard some collections are super small and hard to read.
Jordan Wood
Yeah and if I remember right (it has been a very long time since I read Tintin never mind the oldest stuff) pretty much all the characters were massive Caricatures, both in looks and actions. Except for Tintin himself.
Oliver Rivera

Blue Lotus is actually a pretty good example of why it isn't racist.
Yes the characters have the 30s comical Asian caricatured look, but you have a full range of characters shown in their actions, they aren't just all dumb "sum ting wong" types which is what a racist would do.

>complicated
Generally just steer clear of big2. They're the main offenders when it comes to constantly jumping back to #1 for shekel related reasons.
It's the same reason I tossed all the Deadpool stuff I had been hoarding over the years, with intent to binge eventually, since I read Posehn/Dugganpool ongoing and it was so good. It should not be mandatory to have a fucking wiki open just to figure out the reading order.
>appealing
That one's a bit different. Can't use the cover to judge the interior, so whenever I try something by a new writer/artist I make a mental note if the writing/art is shit and if I recognize the name on the cover of something else I don't bother with it.
Here's a partial list of things I avoid.
Marvel - back to #1
DC - back to #1
Valiant - company wide crossovers despite their main selling point at relaunch being that they'd NOT do company wide crossovers.
Zenescope - trash with pretty covers.
Boom/Boombox - ~90% of their titles is tumblr pandering trash, but there's the occasional nugget.
Fantagraphics, Retrofit et al. - mostly artsy fartsy bullshit, Life & Times and Usagi excluded.
Xavier Gray
It looks like a great comic. I didn't know about it until the'11 movie, but the movie was super boring.
