Re: ABR Discussion Thread XXIX: Where we talk about bears....
Really? Guess England has a very different history than Denmark.
Anyway, things are different now and it's actually pretty pointless to discuss this. You got your opinion and I got mine, maybe I'll appreciate Shakespeare more when I get older, maybe I won't but that shouldn't stop you from finding it interestingTreasured Quotes

Re: ABR Discussion Thread XXIX: Where we talk about bears....
I said history not language. The low class didn't get access to theater in Denmark before the late 19th century and Shakespeare lived way before that, I was assuming it was thew same in England but that appear to be wrong.
The language barrier is annoying along with the Danish language so I usually watch everything in English, thus it shouldn't come up if I choose to read it myself.Treasured Quotes

Re: ABR Discussion Thread XXIX: Where we talk about bears....
Personally, I think the only way to properly translate Shakespeare would be to do it the same way the Asterix the Gaul comics are translated- By altering the wordplay involved to make sense in the Language (Since the puns both Gosciny/Udzero and Shakespeare rely on don't translate well). The problem is, well... Shakespeare was a Genius. Producing a play of the same quality in another language would require someone of equal genius, and true literary geniuses are in short supply.
Yes, I just compared a French Comic Book to Shakespeare. Yes, I know its probably a lousy metaphor. Let's move on.
Anyway, does anyone have "casting" suggestions? What about the roles of Banquo, Macbeth, and Malcom?Steam ID: The Great Squark

Re: ABR Discussion Thread XXIX: Where we talk about bears....
If that was a reference to Asterix, don't worry, the translation for the Asterix comics is probably the best ever done for a comic book, as they create entirely new sets of wordplay (while keeping the plot itself intact), thus allowing the comics to still be funny in the half dozen or so languages they've been translated into.

Re: ABR Discussion Thread XXIX: Where we talk about bears....
Asterix is awesome, unlike a certain racist, sexist, highly unrealistic Belgian comic which shall remain unnamed.

And Keveak, intrigue is awesome! Some of my favorite novels have a lot of intrigue (Ender's Game, Betrayal at Falador, etc.)!Last edited by The Gremlin; 2009-11-17 at 06:55 PM.

Re: ABR Discussion Thread XXIX: Where we talk about bears....
Yup Asterix is awesome, never heard of the Belgian one though.
Depends on what intrigue, I get the whole his uncle kills his father and take the throne, but from there on it kinda lost me. Maybe it's just because of all the work the school forced us to do after and while reading it that I don't like it. Why did he question the ghost by the way?
But as I said before; we all have different opinions and taste in books, why not leave it at that?Treasured Quotes

Re: ABR Discussion Thread XXIX: Where we talk about bears....
Also, I think X2's already had a thread.
Kev: You are lucky. It's really lousy. While Asterix makes fun of all races, including his own, it's all in jest. Meanwhile, ______ treats a lot of races as savage, or unreasonable. It also totally misinterpreted the Opium Wars to blame Japan.

Re: ABR Discussion Thread XXIX: Where we talk about bears....
_____ got better later. Not up the Asterix's level of quality, but at least it got less offensive.
And the one you're talking about wasn't blaming the Opium Wars on Japan. If you notice, there were Western-Controlled zones (which came about as a result of the Opium Wars), and the League of Nations, which didn't come about until WWI.
The Opium Wars were in 1839and 1856, between Britain and China, I'm too lazy to check my dates, but I think that was before Japan stopped it's period of Isolation.Last edited by BRC; 2009-11-18 at 10:05 AM.

Re: ABR Discussion Thread XXIX: Where we talk about bears....
Asterix makes fun of nationalities and they have changed so much it's impossible to be offended.
What's their problem with Japan? Japan's cool, all my favourite comics are made there... And pretty much everything else in china.
And now I really want to know what that comic is called.Treasured Quotes

Re: ABR Discussion Thread XXIX: Where we talk about bears....
Hisssss! *threatens with knife*
Tintin is not funny, is completely unrealistic (so is Asterix, but Asterix does it on purpose, and it makes it funny, too), and to top it off is racist and disrespecful to other cultures. There is no comparison with it and Asterix.
BRC: ACtually I've read the later books. They all sucked, too.
And it didn't DIRECTLY blame Japan, but fro what I recall the Japanese were the ringleaders of the Opium problem, with England not mentioned. OIf course, this is just part of the anti-Japanese craze following WW II.
