Not sure if you’ve answered something like this before, but what’s your favourite fictional interpretation of Napoleón?

There are no fictional Napoleons! They are all real, and they all live deep in my heart! What are you implying? That I don't have an army of Napoleons gathered from across all media, ranging from 19th century caricatures to modern video games living in my home?! Perish the thought! Watch your mouth or I'll sic my Attack Napoleons on you!!

I certainly won't be actually answering this question in my tags!

#//joking aside #i'm partial to 2002's napoleon christian clavier #but i think that's a lot of my generation's 'default' napoleon #that's the one you bump into inevitably if you go through a 'napoleon phase.'#i feel like a lot of it depends on the stage of napoleon's career?#gun to my head I GUESS i'll go with philippe torreton in Monsieur N?#just because the movei itself is inherently a more 'close up' portrait of napoleon given its subject matter #and the actor does a good job or portraying a man trying to frantically hold onto his dignity but never veers into a caricature?#compare to blanche in 1989's hostage of europe which explores the same period and while i do enjoy it...something about that napoleon is TO #pathetic and lacks a little too much dignity #weirdly i do like napoleon best when he isn't a main character just because i think he's a little too big #and so i think as a character he works best as a cameo #like dennis hopper is good i hate to admit it but i liked that napoleon too much #and of course there's the fellow in josephine ou - you know the one #but i can't REALLY discuss it because i can only find the first episode #the rest is in russian and i don't speak russian
