One man show 

It is quite exciting to see how Tintin is the ultimate detective for fighting crime, making him the hero who has set out to rid the globe of all bandits and evil doers. Although his objective is to put the crooks out of commission, it seems as though he is the one being targeted the whole time throughout the series. I could not help but notice how corrupt almost every individual in the reading was, even the seemingly good ones at first. Whether they had first tried to assist him anytime he was in danger and later turned on him because they found out he was a detective or vice versa. This also applies to the police depicted within the comic because we see that they are entirely incapable of performing their duties and almost always regard Tintin as the criminal, while some underestimate his potential as a detective. This presents the idea of a Tintin (and Snowy) vs. the world type of scenario and no matter which route he chooses he will always be alone fighting against the odds. Even if he were to receive some kind of support or help, he will eventually be betrayed or it might just turn out to be very much temporal than we expect. What is even surprising is that he manages to evade all the trouble directed towards him and eventually apprehends the criminals, either making him the most skilled comic detective at avoiding death or just the luckiest. Then again there wont be a comic to write if he died.
