Ok I just watched the secret of the unicorn tintin movie after almost a long while and I loved it so much again of course ,but I realized that both tintin and haddock characters are a bit out of characters sometimes don't you think?I mean compared to the original version from herge,cause that scene where tintin tends to give up and then haddock makes a speech to him about a lesson of life was amazing and tbh a bit weird for me cause tintin was like NEVER like that?like ever man it usually was like the opposite I mean haddock giving up and tintin encouraging him,like tintin being the optimistic and captain being the pessimistic one?it was the only little problem I had with it not that I don't like it or else it's amazing but it was weird to me so what do you think?
I completely understand what you mean. This movie is amazing and you can't help falling for it again and again every time you rewatch it! Despite the changes you feel that this movie was made with love and passion for the original creation, it is a love letter from fans to the creator! At least that's how I perceived it but I don't think anyone can disagree with the fact that it does feel different than many other remakes that are made these days and I think the reason is simply because they saw the original as something worth to revisit, not as something that needs to change.
About the characters and this scene specifically I see your point and you're right, they're not their usual characters, especially in the specific stories they adapted. One explanation could be simply because it's Hollywood and Hollywood likes drama and scenes of resolution, where the hero fails and finds the courage to stand up again to face the enemy one last time. In that scene Haddock is the mentor and Tintin the young man who needs to be reminded of the truth and that feels strange for these specific characters. Haddock is always the one who gives up and needs a push and Tintin the one who encourages him and never gives up. BUT I find this change not that far away from their characters. Please indulge my following blabbering.
Tintin in the whole movie feels different than the Tintin we all have in mind, especially the Tintin from the 90s cartoon series. However he does have many traits from the comic Tintin. He is sassy and has no patience for the bad guys, his whole attention is on the mystery but he can't help pulling back Haddock from whatever he does. I feel that Tintin from the Spielberg movie gets all these traits from all the comics, not just the ones that are adapted in this movie, and they're enhanced. Why? Probably to make him more of a recognisable character but I don't feel he's out of character, it's just another reading of his character. And the core is kept: Tintin is kind. Tintin, no matter what, won't give up Haddock, even when he is disappointed. Tintin shows lots of patience and determination when anyone else would have given up. His moment of weakness, when he says better give up, could be because of his more pragmatist side- I saw all the options and I concluded that it's better to do nothing- but it is Tintin. Tintin won't give up as long as he has something to believe in, something to support on, and in this scene he had nothing. And don't forget that just before that, he had to give up the scrolls and the chase to save Haddock and Milou. Tintin was called to choose between his determination and his good heart and of course he chose the last one. At that point he had already given up on the story for his friends. In the beach scene Tintin reminds to the audience that he is just a human, a young man that had no one to support besides himself and now is completely lost on what to do. Haddock is someone who gives him something to believe in and support again and I think this is obvious on the way Tintin is with him afterwards till the end of the movie. Tintin wants Haddock to be his partner and go to more adventures together, he realized he can have both friends and adventure in his life, without choosing.
Haddock in all the movie is completely himself and the character we all know but he shows his virtues all the way. He tries his best to help Tintin and amend, he falls and stands up again, he tries not to waste Tintin's trust on him and so he doesn't drink and protects the one thing Tintin entrusted him with. And even when he fails and he is misunderstood, he keeps following Tintin and doesn't give up. This is Haddock in all the comics. Maybe the beach scene is so he can shine but to me it doesn't feel out of character. Haddock saw his tired and faithless side of himself on this young man and couldn't help but to scold him, to remind him and mostly himself that giving up isn't an option. Haddock in the comics tends to give up but not for long, soon he goes again and without much push from Tintin, just a word- or a drink, depending on the comic. He shines in challenges and, if you think about it, his whole character arc is about a man that fails and still doesn't give up.
Tintin always encourages Haddock and Haddock doesn't encourage Tintin because simply he tends to go to the danger and someone needs to bring him back to earth (like an anchor but this is a whole other discussion). But in a moment when Tintin would need encouragement, in a moment of his weakness, Haddock wouldn't encourage him back? Haddock wouldn't hate to see Tintin like that and wouldn't remind him that "hey, this isn't you, don't be like me" because of course Haddock doesn't realize his own achievements and good sides? And how can we be sure that there was never a moment like that in-between their adventures? For all we know, the comics could be the things the narrators aka the main duo want us to see, even Tintin's articles! We have many skips and many blank periods of time, anything might have happened, even Tintin feeling like losing his resolve and Haddock encouraging him. An adaptation can explore all the things that the original didn't and still be faithful to that.
So basically my points are that first, since the movie serves as a love letter to the comics, the characters are going through all their character development in just one movie, meaning we see a mix of many of their traits, even if said traits appeared in the last comics. Last, this isn't a common reading of the characters but that doesn't mean false, in the end the cores of the characters are kept and what really makes them a unique team and their bond strong are shown all the way.
This is my opinion and the way I saw the movie. It doesn't mean I am right necessarily but for me looking at the adaptation in this way helps me see the good points of every adaptation and in the end understand better the characters themselves.

I'm finally watching the Actors on Actors with Colin Farrell and Jamie Lee Curtis and it's amazing not just because they're talking about two of my favorite movies from last year, but because the whole thing feels like a therapy session.

this is probably so random but i don't see many people bring up the i, monster movie so it's pretty cool to hear someone else mention it!
I'm not sure why this movie isn't talked much about in the context of Jekyll and Hyde media. Outside of name changes and the fact that they added Freudian theory to it, it's a surprisingly faithful adaptation of the book. Some scenes are lifted almost word-to-word from the original text. Plus, Peter Cushing makes for a fantastic Utterson!

hi heres art so you pay attention to me now go read the tags
#ive been rewatching episode 7 like its the only thing on youtube and made note of many things#first off. the solver can only have one host. nori mentions skyn wants to kill off all the other solver hosts (with the dds) and disregards#the idea of both uzi and doll being its current host when they get chased#plus the main solver possessions only occur when skyn is out of the picture (the fightt in ep 7 is only after n decapitates “tessa”)#solver uzi is possible too but i dont count her cause she doesn't have the yellow#personal theory is that its more an instinctual response to overheating or something and not full on possession#second off nori calls the solver cyn. how does she know that name#cyn was on earth and only showed up to copper 9 recently and i presume nori's been here her whole life#it probably wasn't the other dds cause none of them made it down and they're all more savage beasts#since cyn specifies n's team retained their personalities and that makes me think the other teams didnt#also also we should've immediately questioned tessa arriving in the same type of pod as the mds when they were revealed to not be sent by j#im running out of characters also the people who dont like when i use tags like this can bite me#murder drones#murder drones nori#artori? that sounds cool#ill probably just stick with nori though#i have so many solver heart refs now#art#episode 7#murder drones episode 7#murder drones episode 7 spoilers#using the same black for shadows as my lineart doesn't work when i have to draw thin things over it#murder drones spoilers

You know what's really rubbing salt into this wound? There is a recent Try Guys upload where because Alex is supposed to be getting married, was featured in a video where the guys had to purchase bridesmaid dresses and their engaged staff and respective partners had to select a winner for best outfit and that person was effectively to become their bridesmaid pick.
Ned literally wore a bridesmaid dress, for FUN, FOR the employee he cheated on his wife with, whom is also ENGAGED, AND had been creating content around her upcoming wedding on the channel as well. What. The. Fuck.
[Edit: Now that we know Ned and Alex have been together since at least December 2021 (when Alex's partner found pics + vids of them on her phone and asked Ned to back off--he did not), and the video mentioned above came out in February 2022...
I'm at a total mindfuck.]
[Re:Edit: Just found this on twitter...it just keeps getting worse

the thing about bad buddy is that calling it enemies to lovers is not entirely wrong and is a very succinct and easy way to indicate the general plot, but also one of the only moments that the two main characters are actually personally in conflict with each other lasts about four minutes and is expressed mainly through upset shirtless xylophone playing contrasted with a montage of happy moments that features a time there was triumphant shirt-wearing xylophone playing. and then they both say sorry at literally the exact same time

There was a beautiful era in the 90s/early 00s of fun, female lead teen movies that just hit different, were like this golden age of girls just being girls and celebrating that feeling, and no matter how Hollywood tries they will never replicate it.
I'm talking "She's the Man," "Bend it Like Beckham" "Princess Dairies" "St. Trinian's" "What a Girl Wants" "Clueless" "Uptown Girls" "John Tucker Must Die" "DEBS".....obviously there's probably a few I missed but you get the idea. Maybe the stakes weren't as high as saving the entire world, but they were important to the characters and had friendships and silliness and the goal was almost never to get the guy and you just don't get to see that anymore. Also almost all of them had banging soundtracks.
