History Recap / TintinTheShootingStar

* ArtisticLicenseEngineering: You shouldn't be able to see the spider covering the telescope. Real telescopes don't work that way. The telescope would focus on the objects in a large, almost infinite distance (i. e. the stars), something covering the telescope would only result in a blur on its location.

* CompressedAdaptation: The Nelvana adaptation is only 22 minutes long.

* EldritchLocation: The surface of the asteroid fragment is this due to the strange radiation the rocks produce. Flora and fungi grow at insane speed, to the point that after just one day the apple Tintin throws become an entire forest of apple trees shedding boulder-sized apples. It also makes fauna grow enormous.

* GiantSpider: Tintin briefly mistakes a spider crawling over the lens of Phostle's telescope for a planet-sized arachnid heading for Earth. PlayedForLaughs. However, the radiation (or whatever else) of the meteor is found to have created a ''real'' GiantSpider.

* GreedyJew: Mr. Bohlwinkel, [[AmbiguouslyJewish assuming]] that he is indeed Jewish. The work was published in the newspaper ''Le Soir'', which was headed by [[LesCollaborateurs pro-Nazi editor]] Horace Van Offel and Raymond De Becker when Belgium was under occupation by UsefulNotes/NaziGermany during UsefulNotes/WorldWarII. The stereotyping isn't a surprise given the circumstances but still appears grating.

** Mr. Bohlwinkel also comes across to many as a stereotypical caricature of Jews, the SizableSemiticNose in particular. Worse yet, in the original version (which was, again, written directly under Nazi occupation), he was given the very Jewish name of Blumenstein, his country of origin being the U.S. As stated above, the later version changed that to the fictional São Rico, while Hergé altered the name to Mr. Bohlwinkel... which is ''also'' a Jewish name (something that apparently he didn't know).

** In the original edition, two Jews can at one point be talking about the end of the world, with one of them noting that if that were the case, he wouldn't have to pay his debts. To say that it's a stereotypical portrayal is beyond an understatement. Thankfully, this was scrubbed entirely in the revamped version.
