  • Plot- or character-driven? Plot

  • Loveable characters? Yes
  • Diverse cast of characters? Yes
  • Flaws of characters a main focus? No

2.0

while Herge definitely does a decent job critiquing imperialism and the worst kinds of racism, i think some of the art still verges on racist caricatures, especially of the japanese characters. i enjoy the adventure and the critiques of fascism that it offers, as well as international complicity and cooperation in fascist happenings.
