Watered and dumbed down

Wow, this TV show really destroys everything that was good about the comic.

But the worst crime is the awful dialogue. In the comic, it's "I wonder if Calculus is here to meet us ...", but here, it's "So, this is Sylvadia".

In the comic, it's "Take a good look at those two...", in this cartoon, it's "So, that's Tintin and Haddock".

Why did the writers think this was good enough dialogue?

Why did the writers not realize this lazy, basic awfulness that EVERY writers should know about, even repeats itself almost immediately?

'So, that is..' is the laziest way to introduce something, and should always be avoided.

Hergé would NEVER have written that kind of stupidity.

Not to even mention how wrong it is to say "that is", when referring to two people. At the very least, they should say "those are", or "they are", or something like that.

Of course everything good has to be made into 'kid's shows', so censorship hits these things very hard. Why do kids have to always be the target audience? WHY? What have they done that's so great that they need to be constantly worshipped? Can't just 'people' sometimes have some things?

Can't comics be at least translated faithfully, even if it upsets some stupid kids to see whiskey (and I don't think it would) or more interesting stories?

When you remove alcohol from a comic that used it for -so- much of its humor, you really remove its spirit(s).

When just watching one episode of a show shows this many mistakes, errors, discrepancies and big signs of dumbing down and watering down the excellent comics, there's really no hope.

Every time I try to watch any of these watered-down, dumbed-down, awful-dialogue episodes that have stripped everything good out, my stomach starts to complain and I miss reading the comics, that still have that humorous edge and quirkiness of the characters that makes us all love the comics.

Haddock even says 'blistering barnacles' -multiple- times in that one episode I tried to watch, when in the comics, he has like friggin' 200 different insults and expressions of frustration and anger. But sure, let's pick ONE, and repeat it endlessly, because why would the writing have to be good, it's just a kids' show..? Sheesh.

I am so tired of everything being made into, or interpreted as a kids' show just because it's drawn, or looks like a cartoon. Format does not dictate target audience! When will people learn that? A cartoon DOES NOT HAVE to be for kids!

I guess we'll never get decent 'living' ('animated', etc.) adaptations of the great comics.

Maybe it's just as well, who could really do justice to the genius of Hergé?
