Rules

Absolutely NO hate speech or bigotry is allowed. This includes but is not limited to racism, queerphobia, and ableism. If you are bigoted in any way you should not be on this blog.

No asks related to other users unless it's positive. I don't want any drama or divisions to brew here. Be respectful of others.

No asks related to NSFW, pro/darkship, etc. No NSFW since I am a minor, and pro/darkshippers shouldn't interact due to my boundaries. Even if you aren't into that stuff I don't want it to be a point of discussion here.

Be respectful. Please don't argue with other people in the notes of my posts. Civil discussions and disagreements are fine but don't take things too far.

Any posts breaking these rules will be ignored.

Have fun!

Hey everyone, thanks for all the asks! I won't be able to answer any more until after the end of this week due to finals. You are still free to send things, I just won't be able to post them until then. Hope you understand!

No offense, but I find it quite annoying how unfairly the villagers treat Asterix:

1) they banned him from the village

2) they don't take him serious when he's voicing concerns about certain shady people entering their village - and never apologize to him whenever Asterix's concerns turn out to be right

3) they're extremely selfish. Asterix helped them out of trouble more than once, yet I never saw the villagers helping him when he receives serious injuries during fights

4) they bullied Asterix and Obelix when they were kids

5) they sent him out to do tasks that they could do themselves (example: get a laurel wreath for a deer ragout for Vitalstatistix's Brother-in-law)

Poor guy.

I think that instead of the village adopting Getafix as their druid, Getafix thought to himself, "By Toutatis! These villagers have no brain cells! Someone needs to take care of them!" So he just adopted the village.

Yeah.

Obelix deserves to be chewed out more than he currently is in the comics and movies. Bro gets away with a lot.

That's why The Big Fight is so peak. Both Asterix and Obelix are shown to be flawed. Obelix is shown to be impulsive and Asterix is shown to be arrogant.

I've always wanted to play a dnd campaign as obelix

That's so real. I've never actually played DND but I always thought it would be fun and fitting to play DND campaigns as Asterix characters!

I wish Asterix crashed out and left the village more. Love those plot lines a lot and it never feels like they dwell on it much.

Real and true!

East Asian Metadata

YES I agree 100%

I personally see her as Chinese and Filipino. I mean just look at her. You can't tell me she wasn't meant to be Asian.

Yeah so this might be one of the most diabolical design changes I've ever seen. I'm lost on what motive they could have possibly had to go back and change the 2 Roman soldiers' skin tones, especially when the other concept designs here were kept the same in the final. Nuclear levels of racism coming from the Asterix studio but I'm not even surprised at this point.

I feel like the darker skin tones make their designs more unique. I wish their final designs were kept like the 1st image.
