| Herr Epsilon | this is getting clearer and clearer
in OG he says he was on a secret mission in Greece when he found that Doctormabus has the key to dimensions |
| Herr Epsilon | but he clearly isn't employed by the Romans anymore |
| Herr Epsilon | could it be that the key was actually his |
| Herr Epsilon | and he lost it |
| Mr.Rubinshtein | true |
| Mr.Rubinshtein | Doctomabus is just an insane person who was into obscure religion |
| Mr.Rubinshtein | and he got that dimension key |
| Mr.Rubinshtein | but couldnt figure out how to use it |
| Mr.Rubinshtein | since the technology is beyond his understanding |
| Mr.Rubinshtein | Sam's machine must have crashed somewhere and he was injured and had to run away from romans so he wont get captured |
| Mr.Rubinshtein | when he was running away he dropped the key of the time machine |
| Mr.Rubinshtein | |
| Herr Epsilon | For real though |
| Herr Epsilon | I know, communism and such, but could there be other reasons why he wants Asterix to collect so many helmets (and laurels) in XXL, when he doesn't ever want to keep any of them? |
| Herr Epsilon | Like, I don't get it |
| Herr Epsilon | You know the Gauls are in a hurry, so why do you just stand in their way and be like
"I'll only open this door if you collect 3000 helmets - by the way, you can keep them." |
| Herr Epsilon | He never does this in XXL2 if I remember correctly. There must be something about the helmets in XXL1 specifically 😵💫 |
| Mr.Rubinshtein | i will just answer on all that with this meme i made before |
| Mr.Rubinshtein | There is another theory tho
Caesar sends Sam to sabotage Asterix because he knew that they will try to save others
Sam turned out to be a pussy and didnt came up with anything better other then forcing asterix do dangerous slides and slow them down |
| Mr.Rubinshtein | ideally in reality it would work and other villagers would be dead by the point where asterix reaches end of the Greece |
