Has anyone ever read the "Asterix" comics by Albert Uderzo and Rene Goscinny?

If so, Have you ever thought that the situation Earth in Steven universe faces is similar to the situation the gaulish village in Asterix faces?

Here is my hypothesis:

The Homeworld might have conquered the milky way in the same fashion Caesar conquered Gaul (Ancient France). just like in the Gallic wars, an opposing side consisting of a confederation of planets must have attempted to resist and was defeated. With that all of the milky way was under Gem control, that is with the Exception of Earth still holding back against the Homeworld much like the Gaulish village in Asterix.

The Homeworld can be seen as being similar to the Roman empire while the Humans can be seen as similar to the "Indomitable" Gauls (Ancent Frenchmen) in Asterix, to whom the romans saw as barbarians in the same way the gems saw humans as insignificant.

However unlike in Asterix instead of one druid protecting the village by giving the villagers magic potion, we have 3 "Druids" and military deserters protecting this "village" of a planet protecting the "gauls".

Does this map at all illustrate the current situation Earth faces in SU:
