Hi everybody, i'm new on thissite, and i'm glad to see there are still so many fans of Tintin all over the world.
So here's my first topic : what's for you the most dramatic moments in any Tintin's story ? By dramatic, i mean a scene where you could really feel the tension, the thrill, the "danger" in a very emotional way, as you never felt in another story.
For me it's :
- In "Explorers on the moon", when Jorgen managed to untie himself and was about to kill everybody, never a villain in Tintin appeared more ruthless and cold-blooded than Jorgen at this very instant.
- In "Tintin in TIbet", the whole scene when Haddock hangs over the cliff edge. He wants Tintin to cut the rope to save himself, but Tintin refuses, saying that "either they're both saved or they die together." and then Haddock showing a very beautiful side of his personality attempts to sacrifice himself, what a dramatic and emotional moment, one of the greatest scenes of any Tintin's album or maybe in the comic books history.
The last one is my favourite : -in "Prisoners of the seun" when the Great Inca condemnes Zorrino to be immediately sacrificed, just have a look at the next frame. Tintin tries to protect Zorrino, Snowy looks very menacing and Haddock saying " the first one who touches a hair of that boy's head is a dead duck" sure, he wasn't bluffing and he would really do it !
Those are my favourite moments from Tintin, because for the first times, a situation looked hopeless, and you can note that for each scene, it's a secondary character who helps them to get through the situation (Wolff, Tharkey, Huascar (who gave the talisman)
