The tex "modern" private investigator smell and prisoner of his myth (2) Tex

With Mauro Boselli, the tendency to 'humanization' reaches its climax in my opinion.
In fact, the hero, probably the orphan of his own mythology, it becomes more and more a character from the others of his (I would say to them, the other characters) events.
On the other hand more and more often no longer present and the past glory of its size, as the ranger who gives his name as the series continues to shine by its absence, is compensation for the time, and in my view annoyingly, celebrated by the speeches of other characters (or real players, according to my way of thinking) is not simply reaffirms how great, how mythical, how famous, how strong it was Tex or better. Tex celebrations aside, the characters of the stories multiply but often missing are the pard, which rarely are present in all its history, especially among recent. The bad guys are very charismatic and hard in his early stories, themes and unusual and often interesting, as atypical, but unfortunately the brilliance of the dialogues and the actual presence of the pard beyond the celebrations severely lacking, but this trend has increased since Boselli is the main writer: his Tex, his Carson, Kit and his Tiger's other characters are very different and much less interesting than those of previous writers, and present in much smaller measure quantitatively. The plots are not bad, the problem is the excess of flashbacks, flashfowards and other "special effects" narrative, which often appear forced and placed specifically to demonstrate the technique of the writer and not because they are the narration itself, and of course that I find the defect Main display of the culture's sake, the great self-congratulation that the author can be seen over and over again, which seems to understand that Tex should be having to handle the magnitude of Boselli and not vice versa. Personally I would say that even if it is true that the magnitude is different, the author seems to have taken the issue as opposed to the way in my view correct.
I will not go further, I say that I have great confidence in the authors who will alternate with Boselli, especially Manfredi and Faraci, in ensuring that the rangers return to a size closer to the original magic formula that made a myth of Tex and not writing a character who may or must at all costs to show off their knowledge, their preparation, their professional technique at the cost of distorting the whole.
I would just like to reiterate that everything I wrote is not to be taken as an objective but as my personal opinion, the old player and true fan of the series, and certainly many will disagree with my point of view. But it is exactly the difference in points of view of comparing the salt, which in turn is one of the pleasures of caring for a small space on the things you love.

Tech Deck V Tehnopolis

The "modern" private investigator to smell himself and prisoner of (1)

The "modernity texiana" by Claudio Nizzi


Among the many schools of thought about Tex "modern", there is no doubt that he sees the rangers, Olympic demigod or titanium according to the previous interpretations, engaged Pirandello in a search page from the mid-eighties, a period whose Tex, orphaned character of a great father, expecting to find another Giovanni Luigi Bonelli, of course, without finding it, finding instead an unexpected and sudden fall to Earth. No more Hercules or Prometheus, but through a sudden and rapid escape from the myth, the hero is transformed into a human being altogether. Even tra i più brillanti, mi verrebbe da aggiungere con un pizzico di malignità.
Con Claudio Nizzi, l'uomo Tex prevale con grande chiarezza sull'eroe Tex. E magicamente il pallino delle sue storie passa dalle sue mani a quelle dei suoi nemici. Le vicende di Tex si tingono di giallo, i misteri o presunti tali iniziano a pullulare, ma, come è stato fatto giustamente notare, non sono più misteri ingenui alla “Satania”, sono misteri “impegnativi”, forse troppo per il nostro ranger appena umanizzato, quasi fosse un novello Pinocchio. I suoi nemici prendono il sopravvento nell'economia delle avventure, ed il ranger più famoso d'Italia principia a brancolare sempre più spesso nel buio. Per fortuna non loses the ability to shoot and get into fights, unfortunately lost his usual intuition that guided him very well so far. There are numerous stories in which Night Eagle is unable to solve the riddle itself, the solution of which is as flat-spotted face, right in time for some beneinformato and providential "deus ex machina", also there have been countless stories where Tex is saved in extremis by those who are to pass in those parts of the Indian cavalry to friends, from children to old ladies.
The enemies get larger, they take over, manipulating our hero like a puppet, lead him by the nose wherever they want, except seeing snatch victory by a stroke of fortuitous luck. Consequently
Tex, bereft of his charisma, passes by authoritarianism and begins to issue "orders" to Kit Carson and Tiger (just between us, annoying inconsistency, as a friend to help you because you estimate does not impart orders) becomes the "boss" of pards, his heroic stature seems to be part of the past, making a simple business card, while the figure shows a threshold after another.
good stories out there, especially in the early years, but they are not, as noted above, the stories of a mythical demigod and bold, are only the vicissitudes of a man (undeserved?) Kissed by luck madam and preceded by an (often as one would say undeserved) reputation that surrounds him, often, paradoxically, makes it visible to its enemies like a fly in milk and makes his opponents play in attack and throw him, forcing him to bring home the victory scoring chance in a network often play out in plenty of time expired.
Tex is still a comic book and many interesting stories retain a certain charm, but the magnitude of the character is quite different from that of the same character written by Gianluigi or Sergio Bonelli, alias Nolitta.
