I think mines are Pharaoh's Cigarretes, Ottokkar Sceptre, Crab with the Golden Claws, Tournasol Affair, Stock de Coque and Flight 741 to Sydney
I just love seeing his mustache messed up
Lol. Feels like he charges it with electricity 😆
Well, I wanted to say that it would be awesome if we had an Asterix XXL forum on the internet, because for example, that long comment by Epsilon was quite interesting, and as time passes it will be difficult to find due to the insane scrolling it will require. Also, I have a nice amount of suggestions I want to share and it's too much for posting it here. In a forum we could post bigger content.
Of yeah it was an oooold project of mine
Having a Asterix videogame website
I think it could also have sections to talk about comics and movies, but centered in the games
Yeah, I had my mind thinking about every thing we had to connect to the games
It would be its own wikia basically
But... we need a decent website programmer.
And some place to host it
@Feder373 My stance on this is that things aren't supposed to go on forever. I'd rather have something nice "from old times" that hardly anyone remembers, than something drawn out into a time where it does not belong.
Lucky Luke and Spirou for example: When I was a child everyone knew them. Nowadays hardly anyone does. They were continued, and if I remember correctly, Spirou was even starkly modernized at one point - but it didn't really do them any good. The world goes on, and I don't think Asterix will remain as relevant as it has been from, say, the 70s to the 2000s. The albums are still selling, because they've become somewhat of a cultural must-have for many aging generations. The people of my age or below that (at least outside of France) do not care about Asterix anymore even now. It will become a niche product in the years to come and keeping the comic book series going will not stop this trend.
The Dogmatix TV series might have been a smart move. Because Dogmatix is a mascot that can actually be marketed effectively towards children. Just like nobody knows Spirou anymore, but the Marsupilami is still somewhat present. Or how nobody knows Johan and Peewit anymore, but the Smurfs are still as relevant as they've ever been.
At least Asterix and Obelix are already humans written to be living in the distant past, so they won't be shoehorned into a shitty live-action film that takes place in our time with uncanny valley designs. Looking at you, live-action film with the Smurfs, I don't even remember much from you.
If no new comic is made first, either the Dogmatix show or the China movie will be the first Asterix media we'll get after the death of both original creators...
I'm not fond of the Asterix live-action movies besides the Cleopatra one, so I have more hopes for the Dogmatix series, and I don't care if it will be targeted at children.
(only France) who watched Asterix and the god's domain yesterday night ?
I was asleep when that happened
