When do we finally get the definitive Asterix cartoon? You know, the one that finally breaks into American pop culture and makes the series mainstream
>>150189165Never. And it needs to stay OUT of the mainstream, because that's when everybody starts destroying it thinking they can make it "better".
>>150189165why would you want this
>>150189165We already know what happens when they tried bringing Asterix over to the US. And no, I'm not talking about "Asterix Conquers America", I mean that godawful American dub of "Big Fight". Look it up, it's atrocious compared to how the bongs did it.
>>150189239Did Invincible comic fans like it when their series got mainstream enough to recieve Fortnite content?
>>150189265I didn't mind
>>150189165-and then gets raped to death and has its corpse continuously violated by Hollywood.
>>150189286Smurfs was WAY more popular than Asterix for the beginning
>>150189165The day we get a syndicated Asterix cartoon produced by a famous US studio airing in the 80s with a massive tie-in toyline.>>150189363Wait... my mistake. That already happened and now the Smurfs had all their native identity stripped away.Tintin had one movie and that's the extent of everything Americans know about him. Be glad Lucky Luke, Iznogoud, and Asterix are all spared and firmly European.
>>150189165We're really just not into romans or anything from that era besides the Bible
>>150189165It’s baffling to me the French have not produced a quality 2D Asterix cartoon series by now. It barely even matters Americans don’t care about it, Europe loves it and there are plenty of European cartoons that don’t sell in the US or never even get English translations.
>>150191509Supposedly they tried, repeatedly, but Goscinny and later Uderso vehemently denied moving Asterix out of movies.The Big Fight and the Dogmatix show both had to wait for them to die.
>>150189261You mean the Netflix series, or the movie?The movie was atrocious, the show was kino.
>>150191590NTA- yeah, he meant the movie. Pretty sure only Big Fight (movie) and Vikings (with Paul Giamatti and Brad Garrett?) were the only two Asterix animated productions to get dubs produced for American audiences. Every other English dub is either UK or NZ as far as I'm aware.
