    Also one thing I can say I like about this film is it’s animation. Just the right amount of cartoony but not too the point where it’s off putting.
    Smooth like butter!

    Its a beautiful looking movie with a stellar voice cast. Its such a shame that the plot was twisted into something it originally wasn't, and relegated Asterix and Obelix to side characters in their own story.

      Ikr, it should've been called "Justforkix and the Vikings". It was really awkward how the movie had them on its name, but made them complete supporting characters.

    I never get tired of _Vikings_ visuals. Must rewatch this soon. I haven't actually seen _Mansion of the Gods_ on disc anywhere, but I really want to get it.

    Asterix and Obelix calling each other "bro"? The US version sure is weird.

    I have other personally Asterix and the Vikings is to meet the best film in the entire franchise the one thing I do love the American cast and each one is perfect for the role plus I enjoyed the story and the plight for both the characters of the boy and the girl and the ending is a very sweet song

    This is one of the cases where I prefer the movie's story over the comic's, and it all comes down to one thing:
    Abba.
    Her addition, and the resulting relationship between her and Justforkix, just adds so much to the story that it really should be the canon version.

    It looks like if Disney made this film, because of how the animation is smooth.

    From all of the animated Asterix movies, this is one is the best in term of animation (I still maintain that 2D is the way to go with Asterix adaptations, even if Secret of the Magic Potion was pretty), but the worst in term of story-telling. I find it too pandering to its supposed kid audience, and it manages to do the same mistake as most live-action movies and make Asterix a secondary character in his own franchise.
    Great video btw, I always love your in detailed comparaisons. I would have loved a little more of your own opinion on the movie than a few quick sentences at the end ^^

  • @paulleow8017
    @paulleow8017 Před 2 lety +8

    When I was a kid, the only exposure I had from this movie was this sorta novelization that was around the length of a regular Asterix comic, but in prose form, and honestly it really wasn't a great adaptation of the movie. So as a result I was worried I wouldn't like the movie and put it off until sometime last year when I finally bit the bullet and watched it. And honestly I really enjoyed it, it's one of the funniest in the series and probably my third favorite after twelve tasks and Asterix vs Caesar

    7:31 That's quite clever how the viking speech here includes some vowels that don't even exist in many other languages, like "Ø" (a Norse and Danish equivalent to "Ö" in Swedish and Finnish) and "Å" (the Swedish variant of "O").😉

  • @luismenezes8261
    @luismenezes8261 Před rokem +3

    The movie is nice, but honestly this movie focused way too much on Justforkix rather than the main characters, which is awkward considering that it is titled with their names.

    0:49 Several of these character names were changed in different regions. In Europe, for example, Justforkix is Poppix and Timandahaf is Seismograf. Much more fitting, in my opinion.🤔

    2:11 A common misconception: the vikings didn't actually use skulls as chalices, but instead hollow cow or goat horns. Although it wouldn't be that hard to carve skulls into mugs, since they already have a big, hollow space where the brain used to be.🤔💀🍺

    10:14 Neither am I, as a kid, I found it incredibely stupid and just out of character for Asterix. Obelix fit the bill of doing such stupid things, since hes dimwited, but what about Asterix? He should realise that a boy with hands thinner than Asterixs would do less damage to ships, or be unable to lift menhirs himself, considering Asterix can only do that with the potion.

    This is more like Unreal 1, But instead of saving weaklings from Invasive threats, You simply put them through ayahuasca enlightment. In unreal 1 You go to Norway like location on Planet Na Pali to turn off the Mothership and let other prisoners clean the planet from Extraterrestrial Vikings Called Skaarj, While on Asterix and Obelix planet, You Simply give Weakling taste of Ayahuasca and make him surrender to Invasive Forces and Let him fight alone in this AlienScape, and this is not right, We know that in real life, Ayahuasca does not always ruin you instantly, but it can do that after several months, When JustForKix had a child with Abba, You knew this is not happy ending as this baby turned his attention to Vikings instead of Gauls. and Abba before that image treated JustForKix Like slave, He had to hold heavy things while Abba Had some sort of phone call. So Unreal 1 is the Most Moral Sci-Fi World, Better than the Asterix and Obelix, Because Nali are not war Hungry and you have a task for saving them from the Skaarj Extraterrestrials instead letting them go through this Alien Asgard Hell
