I see Asterix, Obelix and Miraculix, I upvote


Kashyyykk

I wonder why they translated Panoramix's name to Miraculix in english. Panoramix is kind of a pun in english too no?

GOD FUCKING DAMNIT, IT TOOK ME 10 YEARS TO REALIZE THAT GETAFIX IS A PUN


GM1_P_Asshole

Miraculix? \[checks Google\] That's bullshit man, his name is Getafix. Goddammit, taking drug references out of children's entertainment, is nothing sacred during late stage capitalism?


CedarWolf

Getafix is his English name, Panoramix is his French name, and Miraculix is his German name. And technically, Getafix isn't just a drug reference - the druid is also the medic for the village. He's the guy you go to when you need healing or when you need something fixed. It's a pun that works on two levels, and there are lots of clever wordplay in Asterix. There's also an Asterix subreddit.


Areswe

The names in Asterix are truly hysterical


deathless_koschei

'Get a fix' can also mean to perceive or get a sense of something; "get a fix on my location." So it works on three levels and even sort of ties into his original French name.


Babki123

to be honest, in that case the english name is better than the french one


Memelord1117

Get-a-fix.


CedarWolf

That's correct.


Dan_Is

Miraculix is what the druid is called in German


dicemonger

And Danish.


Characterinoutback

.... it was published in 1978 in English and just about all the names were changed


Zekieb

"Oh yeah, that's the good stuff".


Sine_Fine_Belli

Same here unironically


Colonel10Moutarde

Miraculix ? 🤨


Dan_Is

That's what the druid is called in German


EndofNationalism

What movie/show is this from?


Voidy_boi

It's based on a French (I think it's french) comic book series called Asterix and Obelisk. This scene is from a recent film in the franchise.


Erkore65

Yup, Astérix and the secret of the magic potion, the last animated movie.


Captain_Kira

There's more than one?


anima311

[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Asterix](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Asterix) its Probably older than you and some of the funniest stuff of my childhood.


Captain_Kira

I know what Astérix is, I've read most of them, I just didn't know there were more films than the adaptation of The Palace of the Gods


TheLord-Commander

There's live action movies?


Sexy-Spaghetti

You should check out Mission Cléopatre. One of the best comedy movies of all time. (In french atleast, no idea how good it is with an english translation)


anima311

Yes and they're all good (with some of the best casting in movie history)


TheLord-Commander

The latest movie doesn't seem to be reviewed all that well.


Adorable_Heretic

Don't listen to that heretic, the live action movies are pure shite. Made by people who seem to *hate* the material. You are better off watching cartoon and animated movies or read the awesome comics


Sexy-Spaghetti

Don't disrespect my Mission Cléopatre like that. One of the best comedy movies of all time.


Sir_Lazz

There were a bunch of ones. The old ones are super good, but honestly they rely a lot on puns and French cultural references, so I don't know how well that translates when they are ported to other languages. The recent live action movies are kinda trash, tho. And the animated ones are all excellent


EinFahrrad

Oh boy, there's 10 animated movies going all the way back to 1967 ranging from good to great to bloody iconic as well as a bunch of live action ones (that aren't worth it)


YouMightGetIdeas

Asterix et obelix mission cleopatre ( the live action one that came out in 2002) is iconic to every French millenial.


kamiloss14

It also got a pretty big fanbase in Poland (our dubbing is absolutely hilarious)


P3ndrag00n

It's also iconic to every Polish millennial. I think it's one of the best comedies to this very day.


[deleted]

Not just French and not just millenial


Typohnename

Why is there a door that leads from nowhere to nowhere up on that wall?


Iohai

well tastes and such but the very first live action ones and asterix mission cleopatra are still up there, idk about localizations tho so mileage will vary.


Tnecniw

The twelve tasks of Asterix is the best one (IMO)


Captain_Kira

Oh yeah, I forgot about the old 2D ones


Alchemyst19

No idea how I've never heard of this before. Thank you for informing me, I now have plans for the next few days.


s3rila

After one piece , Asterix is the most sold comic book in the worlds. there is 10 animated film, 5 live action film (only one good one) and a netflix animated show in the works anounced like 3 years ago.


k1275

Yes. Now go watch the 12 Tasks of Asterix.


Captain_Kira

Seen it. It was fine


k1275

So now you know how your average administratum office looks like.


Tutes013

Canisa

FaramirLovesEowyn

Them jiggle physics


itrogash

Wait, when did Asterix and Obelisk cartoons become good again?


ShinItsuwari

This one animated movie came out in 2018 out of freaking nowhere. The script was by Alexandre Astier (writer, producer and actor in Kaamelot, a french sitcom which is a parody of the arthurian legend) and it's honestly really good. It's called "Asterix and the secret of the magic potion" I believe.


felop13

Watched it in cinemas, I was the only guy in the room


helendill99

too bad, it's honestly good


Deadpoulpe

It's been ten years of me and my wife trading quotes from Kaamelott and it never grows old.


ryusai72

Je... Ne mange pas ... DE GRAINES !


Deadpoulpe

C'est pas faux. My personal favourite: "Parce que, je sais pas comment vous dire, c’est systématiquement débile, mais c’est toujours inattendu ! Et ça, c’est très important pour la santé du… Du cigare."


Sexy-Spaghetti

La gauche, la droite, selon comment on est tourné ça change tout


Theyul1us

Went to watch it with my ex, totally worth it.

They never stopped being good, just became severely under-appreciated.


Lopsided-Egg-8322

Pretty sure I watched this in French class once, neat


Ionel1-The-Impaler

The Gauls are the pinnacle of creation. For them, the great struggle is won. They have evolved a society which knows no stress or angst. Who are we to judge them? We Greeks who have failed, or the Romans, on the road to ruin in their turn. And why? Because we sought answers to questions that a Gaul wouldn't even bother to ask! We see a culture that is strong and despise it as crude. - Uthanios The Perverse 1st Century BC Greek Philosopher


LorgarTheLad

Orks are just fun to fight in general


[deleted]

Yeah da orkz would definitely make a mech thing out of their brethren


NearlyUnfinished

I have watched this more times than I had any right to. Good meme OP. Have an upvote.


TwoPigMountain

Ah the Ork inspired tribe of Terran Techno-Barbarians from M1


Fistricsi

There was new Asterix movie??? Why was i not informed???


GUTSY-69

Came out silently in 2018


yeet-my-existence

Orks is bestest for a reason, ya git


SlyLlamaDemon

Can confirm that orks are pretty good at fighting daemons. Especially when it’s khorne because orks are good at melee.


marssar

In Russian and as well.


ActNo4115

Dude how many baguette eaters we got playing Warhammer? You’d think with how British it is they boycott it on principle. That’s the only explanation for why everyone here knows Asterix and Obelix. 


Commander1709

Don't know about the rest of Europe, but Asterix is also quite famous in Germany.


saimaan_larppa_hater

Same here in Finland.


michele_romeo

Same here in Italy


Quietuus

It's not exactly unknown in the UK.


CedarWolf

And in parts of the US!


LC_Portuga

Same here in Portugal.

ErtaWanderer

Don't blame us for this uncultured boob. I've been reading Asterix and Obelix for decades now.


Blosteroid

Yes, it is the only explanation everyone here knows of it. Everyone knows Asterix and Obelix are only comercialized in France, and actually knowing about Asterix and Obelix without being French is a crime prosecuted by the Interpol


VanceMothFuStubbs

In Poland to.


Danielarcher30

Im British and i know Asterix and Obelix, idk what ur on about


mctrollythefirst

Swed here. We love asterix and obelix.


Different_Grab2616

Same in Slovakia. We love Asterix and Obelix


That-One-Courier

Aussie here: they literally had posters of the old live action movie at rooms in my high school. I had some of the old comics second hand from mg parents. not just the French my guy


s3rila

After one piece, Asterix is the most sold comic book in the world. I think it also had the most differents languages translations. a lot of people know it.


kamiloss14

I come here in the name of Poles


JAOC_7

what even?


ElectroNikkel

Would have been better with Shootas, Blood and Teef theme
