YMMV / Asterix and the White Iris

  • Accidentally-Correct Writing: Isivertuus claims he developed the White Iris thanks to the teachings of Greek philosophers and part of his teachings involve allowing people to overcome their fears by pointing out that being afraid doesn't affect whether or not they solve their problems and accepting events outside their control. While this is clearly meant to parody modern therapeutic speech, said ideas were derived from Stoicism, which was developed by the Greeks and would find immense popularity in The Roman Empire. Getafix' claim that Isivertuus' ideas might work on future generations could be seen as a Call-Forward to the fact that one of the greatest Stoic philosophers would be Roman Emperor Marcus Aurelius, centuries after Julius Caesar's time.
