What do prefer- Asterix&Obelisk OR TinTin.

[FranzTyphid]

One of lifes many great questions. Both of these french comic books are greatly written,fancastically illustrated and full of great storys, But which one is better?
Oh and this is my first thread since returning to the forum so i'm just going to say hi:3

I love Asterix and Obelix! Although I haven't really read much Tintin, so I can't really give a balanced opinion. Nonetheless, I will be going to see the Tintin film next year.

 

[PurpleSky]

A&O never heard of the other one sry.

Oh yeah I forgot about that. Its directed by Steven Spielberg i belive so i can't be that bad.

Personally, I LOVED Asterix and Obelix. They both were massive in Iceland, where I grew up, and I watched the crap out of both VHS tapes I had of the movies. The cartoon movies, not the live action one. Buuuut, I never liked the look of Tintin, so I never gave it a shot. *shrug*

 

[GundamSentinel]

Asterix and Obelix. The humor is just perfect. Mind you, the newer albums without Goscinny are total crap.

Tintin is great too. Read them all and have the animation on DVD.

IMO they are both among the greatest comic book series ever. Marvel and DC can't even touch this stuff.

[Edit] Oh, and Tintin isn't French, it's Belgian.

Hey man!
'sup?

OT: Wait, Asterix & Obelix are french?
Huh.

Oh, well, my vote goes to them.

Oh I dident recognize you with that beautiful new avatar?

Asterix and Obelix are so cool, almost as cool as Pokemon! I've got a number of their... books, comics? Whatever, they make me laugh.

 

[rabidmidget]

I grew up reading my dad's copies, but I have to say I was more of an Asterix & Obelisk fan than I was of TinTin.

Asterix all the way. To be fair, I haven't actually read any Tin-Tin, so maybe I'll eat my words when I do, but I will say that Asterix is clever, funny, and has some of the best comedic timing of their running jokes that I've ever seen. Especially impressive is that it's translated over from its original French and still contains some sharp word-play.

 

[TheDuckbunny]

They're both amazing but I'm gonna have to go with Tintin, just for this:


I grew up on both the comics and the cartoons. I'm gonna go search for them now.

 

[INCSlayer]

tbh i prefer Spirou

 

[ragestreet]

I'm going to take a third option and say Soul Eater.

 

[Jodan]

J`t`aime les deux egalement. donc je ne chois pas.
my french is bad but i love these shows equally and cannot choose

 

[DazZ.]

Asterix is fucking amazing.
I've had a few good games with them in as well, Tin Tin never had a decent game.

 

[FranzTyphid]

Oh I dident recognize you with that beautiful new avatar?

Few do when I change.
Because when I change avatar, I change it drastically.

I think this might be the one though.

Yeah i hope so. It is pretty sexadelic.

With Andy Serkis as Haddock and Daniel Craig as Red Rackham? This is one movie I really want to see.
