I just realize a hilarious aspect of Julius Caesar x Cleopatra ( Asterix )

Ya know, Cleopatra looking like a bona-fide Egyptian Disney princess, with her luxury beauty care routines ( her milk baths, her cosmetics etc ), with a sweet face, big eyes and a banging body.....

And then there is Caesar who looks like a mcfucking Disney villain with the big hooked nose and hammy villain hand gestures ( he's still handsome though, but you get me )

Don't get me wrong - I love that ship. But srsly that aspect of that ship makes me laugh

And if that ship got some inspos from the ORIGINAL French Beauty and the Beast ( not the Disney one ).....then I'm not surprised

#asterix #julius caesar #cleopatra vii #caesar x cleo #yeah in the original french batb the prince is like 15 to 20 years older than her or smth #the prince in the original tale is a DILF by the time belle meets him #fyi its set in mid 18th century and such age gaps arent that unusual in the olden days #tho most ladies then wont choose someone old enough to be their granddad #and belle is the youngest of 6 kids whose merchant dad gone bankrupt and turns into running an antique shop in a small southern French town #yeah belle got 2 older sisters and 3 older bros in the original #her older sibs are all married by the time she and the prince meets #the french batb movie with vincent cassel is somewhat more accurate to the original book than disney #yeah caesar x cleo in asterix kinda remind me of beauty and the beast in some ways
