When Cubitus, thinking he's still under the influence of the Magic Potion, hurls a series of fat-related epithets at him, Obelix merely looks annoyed before wordlessly swatting him aside (which is what he eventually does to any legionary coming too close to him anyway).
Awesomeness by Analysis: Asterix sees how Sulfurix breaks his victims out of their hypnotic trance (a sequence of slaps followed by a long "Aaaaaaah" and a nose boop) and uses it to bring Obelix back (although it takes him a few tries).His initial assessment of the spell was "beautiful but useless." He later uses it to form a giant Roman centaur from his rival legionnaires, which is impractical but no less awesome. Awesome, but Impractical: Getafix has a spell that controls cairns to stack them up however you want.Attack! Attack! Attack!: The Romans' strategy relies on endurance with the Gaulish village, simply waiting for the druid to be absent and then besieging it till their reserves of potion are worn out.Feeling that he's getting too old, and that he can't risk disappearing without transmitting the secret of the Magic Potion first, he starts the search for a young druid who can become his successor. After an unfortunate fall from a tree, Getafix breaks his foot. Unlike the previous film (adapted from a specific Asterix book), this one tells an original story. The film also marks the first time that Asterix is not voiced by Roger Carel, who did it since 1967 - Christian Clavier, who played the character in the first two live-action Asterix films, takes over the role from him. However, the plots are unrelated and nothing tells you whether things happen before or after the plot in The Mansions of the Gods. Therefore, this film can be viewed as a sequel to it. Like The Mansions of the Gods, it was directed by Alexandre Astier and Louis Clichy, and is made in CGI. Asterix: The Secret of the Magic Potion ( Astérix: Le Secret de la Potion Magique) is a 2018 French animated film based on the Asterix comic books.
