Talk:Evenicle:Name References/@comment-40164738-20190819220018

Meant as a reply to the comment thread below, but whatever.

I´ll have to admit it has been years since I´ve read anything Asterix related. I assume OP is French due to bringing it up and not being a native English speaker, so I'll try to name occupations or descriptions. Names got localised to Dutch to make the jokes work, so I'd probably confuse you with the names.

But the basic deal of the village is as follow from what I remember: Everyone is relatively normal, notable exceptions are ofcourse Obelix (very strong because of a magic potion accident) and the druid (druidic magic/potion brewing/general wise person). The rest are pretty normal, including Asterix. They all gain their strength from the magic potion brewed by the druid, but only when it's needed.

The village isn't really the main focus, plenty of comics and (animated) movies are set outside of Gaul in general, but the village is much more fleshed out than sleepy old island fishing town inhabited by mostly centenarians you see in Evenicle. Also the Gaulish village resists occupation by the Romans where Fresh Fish Island is just largely irrelevant.

It's been a while since I've played Evenicle, but do the dragon sisters actually match the description of Obelix and the druid? I could see the druid, but magic and wisdom are pretty generic when it comes to these settings. Obelix is essentially a friendly fatstrong dude who hangs with Asterix, that doesn't seem to really resonate with them does it?

Asterix and Asterisk themselves look like pretty generic happy-go-lucky heroes to me. Asterix is generally pretty intelligent. Can't really say the same for Asterisk, no events I remember establish him as particularly smart. Asterix also requires the magic potion to be powerful. You could liken the upbringing given by the dragon sisters to be similar to that, but Asterisk's abilities are "natural" wheras the Gaul's strength is supernaturally given by the magic potion.

Those are the quick comparisons I can make from my limited memory of the comic. Does the Japanese Alicesoft wiki have anything on a possible influence?
