- Georgelemental 3y agoNote that the names of many characters are changed from the original French, with different plays on words.
- GuB-42 3y agoAnd sometimes the English ones are better! And I say it as a French who grew up on Asterix. In my opinion, the original names are good, but not great, and the translators did an outstanding job. For example, the original French name for Dogmatix is Idéfix, which conveys the same idea, but without the "dog" pun.
