You need them in a good novel. People who have both bad and good in them. I loved Tintin when I was a kid, because of the funny names, daring deeds, and swashbuckling adventures. It was great. Still is now :-) Also, Tintin is a 'blank' character. He has little background story, unspecific age, and hardly any character traits, excepting heroism. Tintin was my hero. I could put myself in his place, because of his blankness. He became me. That has only happened twice in the 100s of books I've read. Once in Tintin, once int eh awesome Arthur trilogy by Kevin Crossley-Holland. I doubt it will happen again soon, if ever. In short, Tintin is great in the books, though it will be very hard giving him a personality on screen. People don't want blank characters on screen. It will be interesting to see Jackson's/Spielberg's/Bell's depiction of Tintin. I look forward to the film. Pe-ads I’m all for well-rounded characters. You need them in a good novel.
