Bloodbeard – Asterix and Obelix: Mission Cleopatra
Bloodbeard Pirate makes a cameo appearance in films about the invincible Gauls of a village that still has not succumbed to the Roman pressure from the Rabarbarum, Relanium and Delirium camps. He contributed a great penny to the story told in the Cleopatra Mission .
It is a cheerful, coarse and rightly built figure. Her nickname came from a powerful, red beard that Frederick Barbarossa would not be ashamed of. The same beard corresponds to the red jacket, worn most often by our favorite. In addition, he has a steel helmet with horns and is girdled with a wide, black belt, like a witcher. Like the witcher, he is armed with iron, but in the form of a saber.
The pirate is a determined, confident and fierce villain. Or more precisely – grayish. It is mainly humorous in films, not entirely negative. Bad luck haunts him all the time. Although he does everything to free himself from the doom that looms over him, he still runs into Asterix and Obelix. These meetings never end well. In the Mission , Bloodbeard, wanting to loot an Egyptian ship, loses his own, because it turns out that the above-mentioned Gauls are traveling with the Egyptians. In order to avoid confrontation with them, he sinks his own ship himself.
The pirate returns several times in the film, trying to achieve his goal and be successful, but it always fails because of two mustaches. At the same time, he cannot be denied self-confidence and perseverance. With time, he also teaches his daughter the trade. As an exemplary father, he relates to her calmly and slowly explains everything. As a ship commander he is respected by his crew. At the end of the production, he even gets a job at Cleopatra’s palace operating the “effortless crane”, so ultimately his adventures do not end badly, albeit little pirate. – Wojciech Chmiel
