A couple of those old nicknames travelled up to the Brisbane competition and were adopted by teams that wore the same jersies as their Melbourne counterparts - so Morningside became the Panthers as they wore St Kildas colours and Kedron the Redlegs, for the Melbourne colours they wore.
Carlton were the 'butchers' because they used to play in small butcher hats, there's old photos of them in the hats. Carlton became the blue baggers during the war. After training the players used to bag up groceries for the needy at the local grocers. Some people mistakenly attributed the name to the little blue bags they used to put in the wash to make their away shorts whiter but that was a media based story that came later and is not the true origin of the name.
i think the worst thing about green mini's death is that even after the tank passes through mr bean doesn't know why it got crushed. he only sees his destroyed car and people cheering and laughing. to his point of view, everyone is laughing at him and at his destroyed car, like it's something funny, like seeing him in pain is amusing. and all he can do is just stare in disbelief as one of his prized possessions, and perhaps the closest thing he had to a friend along with teddy, just lies there, destroyed.
Norwood attempted to go into the AFL, but the AFL said no, and port secretly got into it. Not much. People know the story, so port Adelaide they went behind afl the back. And got in the AFL they’re just a fake team from SANFL
Not clear why the Founds are that high to by a freaking Castle from it. Also for some reasons, the Treasure shown in the Flashback has expanded, and multiplied. I guess it makes sense for the Knight to communicate that way, afterall Diving Equipment didnt exist at that time. Therefore his Children would probably just look at the Statue instead. But why would Tintin expect Hadoque to describe the Coordinates of a sunken Ship? The Island made sense, but I dont mind to much about this minor Questions. For a Story whitout any true Enemy, only fakeouts, its quiet enterntaining, very funny, beautifull, and intelligently made. The Canibalism Element is outdated, and tasteless. Its a bit sad many People read this and think Tintin is all Adventure and Journeys, instead of a more political, or Science Fiction Work. 22:13 pff Thats not the best pronounciation. Its ei like Seismic not E I separate, and the first e is silent. Also reater something along the line of Binlayn. I would record it for you, but I dont know how to do it, and it realy does not matter at the End.
What's insane about how Geelong and Richmond broke their droughts: the manner in which they did it. They didn't just win, they rose to the top and dominated, building a dynasty.
Your videos are so excellent and 12 likes is criminally low! I hope your subscribers skyrocket. To continue my tradition of leaving my own review under each video - Blue Lotus is indeed magnificent. Not one of my first but definitely one I often returned to as a child. I used to love the long journeys and military antics, and the Blue Lotus itself with its hidden passage that culminates in a safe. Some wonderful characters too, from the sadistic Mitsuhirato (who tries to make a teenager kill his own parents!) to Chang to Wang to Rastapops. I love the friendship between Tintin and Chang, and you provide a fantastic backstory here - a testament to Hergé's ability to grow as a creator and as a person. Well summarized too about the accurate reflection of Japanese politics at the time (I'm no historian but read about this in the Farr book) and, of course, the unfortunate racism in Mitsuhirato's portrayal that tempers the more sensitive portrayal of Chinese people.
Cigars of the Pharaoh is another great example of an adventure just going on and on from one location to the next but in a really fun way. Hergé is improving from strength to strength and, while I am admittedly a great defender of Tintin in America, I cannot deny the upgrade in storytelling quality here. Weirdly, Cigars was a bit of a Christmas tradition for me as a kid, despite having nothing to do with Christmas. I also grew up with a particular fondness for the gathering of odd characters in the jungle house (I used to try to imagine what Zloty's poems were like). Some more thoughts: 1. the masked figures included Mrs. Snowball, and it's hilarious to think Tintin unknowingly bashed a little old lady unconscious. 2. Tintin didn't apologize to the Arabian actors he bashed with his gun. 3. Underrated funny moment when Tintin defends Sarcophagus to an angry Rastapopoulos, while Sarcophagus just wanders off saying "goodbye everybody". 4. Fun fact, the seemingly-benevolent sailor who rescues Tintin but turns out to be a gunrunner was based on Henry de Monfreid, whom Hergé used to see in a positive light, until he found out the adventurer was providing guns for war.
@@sliat1981 they played in every season since (and including) Carlton’s last premiership season. If it is fair to call it a drought even though they never won one in the first place is another thing.
Loved your well-researched review, and man do I love Tintin in America. It goes on and on and on in the best way with all these different worlds - the city, the wild west, the castle, the meat factory, and I love the atmosphere and dark humor. The villains are great - I love Smiles, and the minor thug with the guitar case was always a favorite. The scene where the Native Americans are driven off their land is indeed a testament to Hergé's potential for more enlightened political thinking, and quite powerful. On the subject of racism, I remember reading in the Farr companion as a child about the reference to lynching and, being unable to find the racism aspect in my color edition, I concluded that "they hanged a couple'a fellas" (paraphrased) meant "fellas" was a bad word. Finally, a fun fact and a question. Fact: America is the only one where Tintin unambiguously understands Snowy's "talking". Question: what kind of gangster sees a gang member about to rat out the gang and decides the solution is to temporarily knock him out with a boomerang??
Your historical background on colonization added a lot of necessary depth. I agree with your points as well. I had the book as a child (with the red band and warning) and was aware of how unacceptable the depictions were. This was in South Africa, where white people have quite the history of racism to say the least. I think it all comes down to how we raise our children to understand these things, and Congo shouldn't "disappear" but it should definitely be packaged in that collector's edition way, standing out from the others. It's not casual reading. It's also interesting to see the extent to which Hergé was bombarded with propaganda, and how far he came after that, even if his more well-intended depictions of African people in later books were far from ideal. For me it's much more interesting to see how an author evolved from an ultra-racist indoctrination than to ignore his early work altogether. Muganga's also a pretty interesting villain, it's just a shame he's a horrific stereotype. As for the animal cruelty, you've got to wonder how those elephants in Cigars would have felt knowing what Tintin did to their relatives not long before! It seems that Tintin, like Hergé, changed for the better.
Yep, it's fun that there's a deleted scene of it but there's no way that man gets turkeys stuck on his head on the reg. And Now For Something Completely Different recreated sketches as its premise but this would be a little odd (luckily Friends did it instead :D)
Great vid! Soviets is indeed a fascinating artifact. I actually enjoyed it as a child - I guess I wasn't a casual reader because I loved the series so much and I was excited to acquire this crisp hardcover black and white installment after reading many of the others. It's still quite satisfying and, as you said, charming (i do enjoy it more than Congo). And it's just so silly - the OGPU henchman saying "I'll eat this delicious banana" while plotting Tintin's demise. Then again, it begins with more civilians getting killed(??) than in any other Tintin. Finally, long live Borschitov (oops, looked it up, it's BorsctiSov), the first master criminal to be felled.
@@latterature kiss my arse. They’ve been called a guernsey for more than 140 years. It doesn’t cost anything to get facts correct. Responding as you have is idiotic.
I'm good with way looks could it look better yeah buts it's OK. Just waiting for it hit the xbox store so I can preorder it. Not long now November 7th Ps have seen plane section game play it looks fun.
Were people really scared of that stupid Know All episode? I can't talk though - season 3's lint monster was the one that gave me nightmares. without a shirt.
I see the analogy with Big Dust and the Demons. But the ‘common man’ being an avatar for the club of the MCC is a bit of a stretch. And I barrack for Melbourne! 😂 We are more the Nature Boy in the Flair/Rhodes feud!
I reversed the backwards audio, and I'm not entirely sure what he's saying, but I think it's "When you think Lizzie." It sounds more like tink, but that makes no sense. Anyway, hope this helps you all.
