No but genuinely that should make more bande dessinee movies. I'd be pretty happy with a Gaston or Spirou movie.

    Yeah Tintin is hella problematic. However because of that Euopean leftists who grew up with it have spent a lot of time reclaiming it. For example adopting Tintin and Captain Haddock as a gay rights symbol or creating bootleg Tintin comics where he's an anarchist such as Tintin: Breaking Free where Tintin takes part in the UK printers strike and educates the reader on radical anarchist theory. There's also a few others, one where Tintin ends up over throwing Mussolini and another where Tintin and Haddock liberate Vietnam from the Americans and French.

    Unfortunately in recent years, the extreme European right has been attempting to "reclaim" Tintin as a glorified Nazi symbol. You can find images of Tintin killing minorities on Stormfront - here's a good article about everything going on with that; https://www.wired.co.uk/article/tintin-far-right-fascism
