History Film / TheAdventuresOfSpirouAndFantasio

* PoorCommunicationKills: When in the beginning, Fantasio met Seccotine at the hotel by ContrivedCoincidence, they did not see each other for a year or so. Apparently, they used to get along well, but their relationship went sour as Seccotine accused him of having ghost her, and even remembers bitterly that she swore to never meet him again. Later on, Fantasio explains to Spirou that he thinks the Seccotine, in the past, gave the last scoop he was working on to [[{{ArchEnemy}} Zantafio]]. And [[SleepingTheirWayToTheTop slept with him in addition]]. Seccotine denied both accusations, and given how Zantafio is in comics, it's quite likely he is the one who lied, effectively. Either to bother his cousin as [[ClashingCousins it is an old habit of his]], or to woo Seccotine he also had a [[VillainousCrush crush]] on-or both. Anyway, Fantasio did not believe Seccotine back then, causing a rift and the [[BelligerentSexualTension conflicted relationship]] they're in.

** In the last scene, a guest of the hotel is reading the "Moustique", the actual name of the newspaper Fantasio and Seccotine work for. The title of the article relating[[spoiler: Zorglub's demise]] is titled ''Z comme Zorglub'' ("Z is for Zorglub"), how the album he appeared in was named. The titles of others articles are also those of previous albums such as ''L'Homme qui ne voulait pas mourir'' ("The man who did not want to die") and ''Tora Torapa''. Not to mention an article [[LaserGuidedKarma reporting that Zantafio been fired.]]

** In the airport, the newspaper that Spirou and Fantasio use to [[NewspaperThinDisguise hide behind]], title that a Mesozoic traveler has find a dinosaur egg on an ice field. In the album ''Le Voyageur du Mésozoïque'' ("The Mesozoic traveler") the count of Champignac bring back a dinosaur's egg from Antarctica.

** To be fair, [[TheTease Seccotine herself]] sometimes provoke this. Notably when she let Fantasio be mistaken on the identity of the person who wait for her in a hotel room (Champignac, but he thinks it's Zantafio.) Or posing as a flight attendant in an airport, and assuring she don't know what Fantasio is talking about when he accuses her to be actually a reporter. Then Seccotine announces, loud enough for him to hear her, that she brought her [[BarelyThereSwimwear « smallest bikini"]] with her.

* RuderAndCruder: The original story used SymbolSwearing or CallingMeALogarithm and was chaste to stay kid friendly. Here, and apart from a SoundEffectBleep, profanities are used in dialogues without filter. [[HotterAndSexier Also]], the Count of Champignac speak of Seccotine's mother in terms that let suppose that they are quite intimate. Seccotine herself is used to [[TheTease tease]] Fantasio by [[OperationJealousy describing Zantafio]] ReadyForLovemaking for her in a hotel room, or speaking about her two-pieces bath suit.

* LongingLook: While Fantasio watches Seccotine swimming in a pond, Spirou identifies his look as the one of "a man in love".

* AdaptationalWimp: In nearly all albums, Spirou and Fantasio get caught at least once in a hand-to-hand combat with villains (and usually win). The first is even a [[GoodOldFisticuffs boxing expert]]. Here, Spirou is the only one who could eventually have the occasion to fight, and he prefers to run away (in front of Gantagwa's policemen). When confronted to Marie, he simply throw suitcases at her (albeit it can be because of a WouldntHitAGirl case). [[DarkActionGirl She clearly have the upper hand anyway]], and it's [[KillerRabbit Spip]], of all people, who win the brawl. Later on, when faced with Zorglub, the later have no difficulties to simply [[CharlesAtlasSuperpower throw away Spirou like a rag doll]].

* DamselInDistress: In comics, Seccotine used to avert this. The only time she was ever captured was in ''Adventures down under', along with Fantasio, and they soon managed to escape. Here she is immobilized three times by zorglwaves (despite never being confronted to them in the original) and kidnapped two times straight afterwards, [[AdaptationalWimp needing guys to get out of the situation]].

* EvilOverlooker: A variant: Zorglub watches [[BreakingTheFourthWall the audience]] instead of the heroes on the poster despite his typical FloatingHeadSyndrome.

* ParentalAbandonment: The Count of Champignac quickly deduce that Spirou never knew parental authority when they met. Later, Fantasio ask Spirou what his parents think of him being a pickpocket, and the later stay suspiciously silent, suggesting a DarkAndTroubledPast.[[note]]Or maybe it's a MythologyGag, given that originally Spirou was a {{Golem}} BornAsAnAdult out of a drawing, thus with no parents.[[/note]]

* MomentKiller: [[spoiler: In Zorglub's lair, Fantasio admits to Seccotine he's been stupid to not believe her. Moved, she assures he has been stupid, yet cute…And brutally, Spirou has to remind them that Zorglub's {{Mooks}} are coming.]]
