Hey, guys! Remember Influenza? The daughter of the couple who went to live in Asterix' village after they were mistaken it belonged to them in "Asterix and Caesar's Gift"?

I brought her up mainly because I wanted to say that she was totally valid into falling in love with Asterix.

What a man, indeed!

Not gonna lie, I have a lot to say on this as an Asterix fan, mostly positive though.

First off, I was legit surprised that on the original French dub Alain Chabat is playing Asterix here, I was honestly kinda expecting either Jean-Claude Donda (His current French VA, who also took over a lot of other roles the late great Rodger Carel played before his death in 2020.) or Christian Clavier (The actor who did play Asterix in the Asterix Film Alain Directed, that being Mission Cleopatra, to even voicing the character in the French version of Secret of the Magic Potion mind you.), though to be honest…I kinda like his portrayal of the character actually, and from what I read up he has done a couple of dubbing roles before (In particular as the French voice of Shrek oddly enough) so Alain Chabat isn’t completely alien to voice acting.

Also in the French version, Gilles Lelouche (Obelix In Asterix and the Middle Kingdom, which is probably one of the few good things in the movie IMO) is voicing Obelix here, dude was a solid Live Action Obelix, so I don’t mind him voicing the character in this.

I would also like to say it’s cool to see Netflix keep up tradition of the English Dub for Asterix movies having English Voice Actors, really curious about the voice actors themselves, hope we get to find out the VA’s when it gets closer to the release of this mini series.

Second, HOLY CRAP this already looks really solid animation wise, especially in the colours and art direction. There definitely seems to be some vibes of the Alexander Astier Asterix films he wrote (Mansion of the Gods and Secret of the Magic Potion), as well as some Spider-Verse influence here as well with the addition of the comic onomatopoeia in certain shots, and while I am not that familiar with TAT Productions (Need to watch Pil and a few other of their animated films sometime).

While yes, it would have been cool to see an Asterix comic story that has never been adapted, at least in animation (Really want to see Asterix the Legionary someday be adapted personally), but in Big Fight’s defence, the 1989 animated adaptation wasn’t the most accurate and was essentially a fusion between Asterix and the Big Fight and Asterix and the Soothsayer, and while I will admit the 1989 movie was fun, getting to see a more accurate adaptation to the story would be a fun watch and they could even pull a Mansion of the Gods and expand on the story and speaking of…

Is that Caesar’s mother Aurelia I see?

For context, Aurelia has never been featured within an Asterix story, let alone in animation for that matter, so its really interesting to see her, though she is not called Aurelia in this, but instead is called Mother Caesar here.

But she isn’t the only new character in this adaptation. There is also a female character named Metadata, and I think she might be this girl, not gonna lie she has a cute design. I wasn’t kidding with those Alexander Astier Asterix Movie comparisons with them expanding on the original story a big

Even if this is basically a teaser, this has left me really curious for more, already miles better than Middle Kingdom and I cannot wait for this mini series to release. Especially with Alain Chabat at the helm.

I know it's not brought up often in the comics, but Cacofonix singing so badly he makes it rain is a joke that i still think is hilarious and adorable

Just my Idéfix (from the Park) and Obelix plush :) (Yeah)

[coe-olivier]

PART I I've decided to do a little series of posts where I'll pick 1 or 2 side characters from each Asterix comic that look attractive or just have an interesting design I'm wierd but I'm free muahahaha

I. Asterix the Gaul - Marcus Ginantonicus Tbh I don't know what makes him attractive in my eyes. Maybe his fancy hairstyle, or not so often presented body type for Roman soldier?

II. Asterix and the Golden Sickle - Random guy from Inn He have nice looking design, love his hair a lot. Also color palette is great!

III. Asterix the Gladiator - Gladiators and Brutus I think I don't need to explain why Gladiators are here? Also this version of Brutus, he's good looking guy but I would stab him anyway

IV. Asterix and the Banquet - Captain Seniorservix They make his so cool I can't skdjhfghd Just adore his design! Great old man with nice cape and jewellery. This convinced me for sure bhahaha

V. Asterix and Cleopatra - Cleopatra's musicians and dancers They're the most beautiful women in whole Asterix serie 🫶

Okay that's it for today, thanks, byeeee...
