I do mean stuff like removed scenes from international airings, replacing objects like cigarettes or vine with any other objects.
How can any reasonable person see some cowboy or a NY gangster’s lips move and then hear some German or French words spoken.
It’s completely ridiculous.
Not to mention the many things that are lost in translation and don’t work in that language.
Even the titles of the films are changed.
Now and then they show some of that on TV as a joke here in Belgium or NL.
It never stops being funny and you wonder how long these people will continue with this silly practice.
It’s also one of the reasons these countries speak poor Enlish in comparison.
You learn a lot from hours of hearing the actual language.
Now there’s less of a difference with the web, but still.That’s not an issue, they can imitate cowboys pretty well in german.
It only becomes ridiculous when they have to translate a german person in an american movie.
You get used to it pretty quick. Watch three dubbed movies and the original will sound weird. I started Doctor who in english and cant stomach the german version now. Series that I started in german are the same, I cant switch to the english format easily.
The only argument that I see is that it helps with english.
Funny enough, almost all the content I consume outside of movies is in english. I hate german youtubers and streamers. None of them talks or sounds naturally.
Doctor
There you go.
There isn’t even a series called ‘doctor’ except probably in German.
And I imagine you’re used to it since you don’t know better and have no reference.
There is no substitute for the original.removed by mod

You could’ve just admitted you didn’t notice a word (Who) that wasn’t capitalized and misunderstood, but that way we wouldn’t know your true face.

It was “Doctor Who”, if you can’t read at least admit it., but if you’re here just to troll and argue you can go back to Reddit.

Are you trolling? I really hope you’re trolling since the alternative is this is who you actually are.
Ooof.
Did you know? there’s a Block function on Lemmy! Very useful.
Definitely, I blocked them but wanted to poke the douche bear a bit first. Thanks for the assist.
