YMMV / Asterix and the Secret Weapon

• Big-Lipped Alligator Moment: A Running Gag in the story is Roman soldiers saying that there must be a dragon hiding in the woods after hearing Cacofonix singing. One of the latest panels show a dragon indeed fleeing from the forest, with one of the female Roman soldiers commenting that she was sure there was a dragon in this story. This is the first and only time that a dragon has appeared in Asterix, and absolutely no other reference is made to it apart from this single panel.
• Hilarious in Hindsight: This album ridicule the idea of women combatants through the female century. Welcoming them with a clothes market is enough to vanquish them. 30 years later in the album Asterix and the Griffin, women are warriors in Sarmatian society and are shown to be very capable; even Asterix and Obelix have no objections.
• Strawman Has a Point: Despite her debatable secret goal, Bravura raises interesting questions: why can't women have the occupation of their choice? Why can't they fight, wear what they want, be a village's chief? The last line (Fulliautomatix's daughter comments that she can't wait to grow up and rule the village) prove that these questions definitively made their ways in some minds, after all.
• Values Dissonance: Uderzo obviously made the album to answer years of questioning from fans asking why female characters didn't get important roles in Asterix stories. He apparently did not think that highlighting said female protagonists was a good idea, and this being The '90s, the readership expressed no problem with that.
