Is Snowy the same as Milou? Why do Americans need to change the name of a character?

Is there any sane reason?

The original name of tintin itself does sound too foreign for me. I think they localised the names like Capcom style to make the characters name more universal.

The funny thing is of course, when I talk to my Dutch friends about tintin, it took me a while before they realize what I am talking about

An intelligent kid, I would assume.

I just can't picture a kid sitting there thinking "Oh good, time to watch Tintin. I'm glad it respects my intellect, unlike that stupid shit cartoon Transformers"

Then you'll love the German translation. They renamed Tintin to.... Tim.
Just. Tim.

In Japanese he also has a different name: Tantan. But that's because the most straightforward way to spell Tintin in Japanese would be chinchin, which is a childish way to refer to male genitalia.

Surely the same reason captain Harlock became captain Albator in french, consonance.

Lol, I got three at home
Raising kids takes good peer to peer sources.

What kid cares about their intellect being respected when they're watching cartoons?

And their parents... Ya know... Education and stuff

 

[M7L7NK7]

I wouldn't want my kids to get an education from Tintin

Or like we often say there,
Capitaine Albatard

Pretty funny to see those names change in other countries ngl

"Sane" and "US American" in the same sentence page?

As if Switzerland doesn't have a mental health issue? Congrats. You've won the "Dumb Ass Hypocrite of the Day Award" and I've only been awake for 30 minutes.

To be fair, all West countries seem to experience this kind of issue.
And from what I witnessed, heard and met, East and South are not better than us.

In fact, mental health issues seem global, only with funny local specificities.
Coming daily to GBATEMP and enjoying these forums, I am surely deranged to some extent as well.
