एस्ट्रिक्स & ओबेलिक्स: द बिग फ़ाइट

Given the track record of Netflix productions lately I was a bit reserved about my expectations, but fear not, the Big Fight is Excellent!

It is probably just recency bias, but I can't recall when had I enjoyed an Asterix story as much. There is plenty of character development and a lot of various setups-payoffs that feel very satisfactory when you get to them. The plot evolves fairly logically with one event leading to the other. We even get a couple of suspenseful scenes of Asterix (competently) fighting without the aid of the magic potion and even Obelix gets a couple high stakes fights.

The animation is colorful and full of energy. There are LOADS of excellent jokes, quite a lot meant rather for the adults (e.g. The Pulp Fiction twist dancing is briefly referenced). It was truly the funniest thing I've seen in a while. Watching the big fight filled me with glee.

I think this was excellent. There still seem to be people capable of producing good Asterix content so I hope we will be getting more like it. Now go Watch it, increase the view count to let the producers know it is good and pretty please make an another!

Wished more people acknowledged that this came out. Asterix and obelix is pretty famous in my country wich yeah is in europe but still.

I haven't read allot of the comics but i have watched a few of the films.

Both the two animated ones and a few of the live action films.

This one is connected to the two animated films wich i both really like.

This one is a mini series but i found to be wonderfully charming.

The animation is great and they also use allot of 2d elements aswell, i like the hero's aswell as villains. Im not going over the plot since its like 5 episodes that are each half an hour so i would be yapping endlessly.

Asterix and The Big Fight is the second animated adaptation of the story of the same name & is the second Asterix series after the Dogmatix prequel series.

They added stuff that wasn't in the other version and I have to say, they are welcome additions to the story. Especially new character addition, Metadata. Also love how we discovered how Obelix cannot have any magic potion as the effect he gotten from it became permanent .Plus the big fight being a sporting event at the time period is very creative.

Netflix should be the official US distributor for future Asterix content in the mid future.

I borrowed the comics recently and immensely enjoyed rereading them for the first time in long time. They have such a unique style of humour and wit, and dialogue

To my surprise I noted this new show on Netflix and gave it a crack. I had low expectations.

Colour me deeply impressed with how well they captured the humour and spirit of the books. It's a wonderful piece of work, by toutatis!

It borrows from across the stories and captured all the individual personalities of the village well, without making any massive changes. That's an impressive feat given the comics were written in the 60s.

"Le Combat des Chefs" is one of the most iconic Asterix albums, and this new adaptation not only captures its essence flawlessly but elevates it with thoughtful enhancements for animation. The contemporary updates blend seamlessly with the original spirit, including subtle allusions to current events-Caesar's resemblance to Netanyahu and Putin, for instance, is unmistakable. For me, it's a complete triumph: the character animation feels as if the figures have stepped directly out of the comic's panels, while the colour palette pays a respectful homage to the 1989 adaptation of this album and Le Devin. It's a superb achievement, enriched by a stellar voice cast and outstanding visual design.

That said, I do feel that recent Asterix adaptations increasingly target a younger audience. Given that the original comic material often carries more mature themes and wit, I hope future projects will embrace that richness more fully. I'd love to see an adaptation aimed at adults-perhaps of Astérix chez les Helvètes or Les Lauriers de César. Or finally, a proper take on Le Tour de Gaule."
