Lackluster international distribution and marketing, like most French movies that aren't made or produced by Luc Besson. Which is retarded considering the property has somewhat of an international audience and the movies cost a pretty penny to make.
Only ze Germans give enough of a shit that they coproduced the Olympics one. They didn't even try to get the Brits to get in on the last one.

>>92194391
first one was mediocre family adventure film
second one was actually funny as fuck comedy flick
third one was mediocre adventure movie, but had some decent scenes and god-tier cameos

And i kinda like the Uderzo Comics and could life with the last 3 issues from Uderzo.
The new one from the new team is nice again.

And has someone an idea why Uderzo didnt went the Spirou or Lucky Luke way?
There are more Spirou or Luckyx Luke than Asterix.
Is making movies better than comics to make profit?

Yes, but all attempts at Lucky Luke movies (1994 Terrence Hill, 2009 Dujardin, Daltons movie in 2004) have been relative failures.

Mansions of the Gods was okay.

That was only established in zombie Asterix anyway, might aswell not be canon.

>>92194377

I love the fuck out of Asterix. My grandma had a full collection of all the Goscinny issues which I grew up reading and loving, and she passed them on to me.

Hard to talk about it in here, though, since the names in translated versions are always different to preserve jokes, so the moment people get out of the basic cast nobody is sure who the fuck anyone is talking about.

It was shit cause of this human turd called Jamel and CHabat is not funny too

Bums me out that Goscinny died in his 50s. That's way too early to be kicking the bucket.

I love both Asterix and Lucky Luke. Fun fact, apparently Morris didn't find puns/word play funny so that's the reason why there aren't any in Lucky Luke. Asterix on the other hand...

>>92195624

you really should if those albums are made by Vehlmann and Yoann. They're the best creative team working on the series in the past twenty years

Make it 7, this list i took is from last december.
There is a second album to Spirou Special 19, where they visit an african nazi regime that wants to drop the a-bomb on belgium.

If you wait 2-3 months you might find 9 Albums, "Spirou in Borneo" and "Daughter of Z" are announced for international release.

>>92194753
The 12 tasks is the best Asterix movie, prove me wrong.

Protip: you can't.

>>92194391
>Take on Caesar: truest kino of the bunch, laudable attempt to intertwine various plotlines, top tier casting (Roberto Benigni as Detritus is glorious), perfect blend of adventure and comedy
>Mission Cleopatra: god tier comedy film, amazing production values, superior casting (and the director himself being the funniest Julius Caesar of all four films), closely follows the original story, hilarious humor
>Olympic Games: haven't seen this one but apparently it's shit
>God Save The Queen: pretty shitty, although it has some funny moments inbetween even if they're way out of character (Asterix picking up chicks and Julius Caesar pulling a Darth Vader on him), Édouard Baer was much funnier as Otis in the second film than as Astérix in this one, the visuals looked out of place for the Britain part, really shambled attempt at adding the Normans storyline

>>92195177
I meant making more issues.
Spirou had several artists working on it, there are so many issues.
And after the death of Goscinny Morris worked together with other writers.
Both series could give you steadily new issues. While Asterix is till the new team only uderzo and the issues were slow published.

And i thought the reason is its more profitable for Uderzo to green light films than making comics.

>>92195680
Thats a 2nd movie?
Guess french or european kids saw it and was reason enough to make a 2nd.

Apart from Tokyo, the Morvan stuff wasn't all that memorable. Ito-Kata, the TK loli with the trash golem and my own weebnes is the only reasons I remember that tome at all.

Welp. There's 15 I haven't read then. I didn't know Une Aventure was a seperate thing, but it appears they've all been published in my language.
I've read La Femme Leopard and the Origin album because they were posted here. Neither of them held a candle to the Tome/Janry albums though.

The first game was gold

The second went overboard with all the video-game references. It was kind of cool at start, as in "It's an asterix videogame so of course it plays like an asterix album about videogames", but the fat man dressed as Lara Croft being a main antagonist and the fucking sonic legionaires were bit too overboard

>>92194391

Because they just arent funny when you have seen the cartoon originals

Also my useless Degree autism got triggered when, IIRC, the romans sail to Briatain in fucking vikinglongboats because the german studios still had those lying around from the Viki movie (Which was also meh as fuck)
