Which is doubly sad cause the German synchro is pretty damn good. As a big Lord of the Rings fan, I am so glad we've been spared this. Allegedly cause Tolkin knew German and actually helped with the translation. BUT they of course had to do a re-translation for some arcane reason and in the new version Sam calls Frodo "Chef", he literally calls him his boss. I feel like there is a lot to learn from the brain of the person responsible for this. All of it highly disturbing.

King's Landing in the german dub/book. It's somewhat okay, "Mund" as in "River mouth", but it's just one of a few jarring mismatches, some names translated, others untouched, with no sense or system.

Jon Schnee. Absolutely hilarious.

But yeah, I really hate it.

Yeah I know, but as far as I know, some shows just don't have their name translated. For example, "Rocket Power" in French is still "Rocket Power". So is "Adventure Time". "Kick Buttowski". I could go on.

And then there's weird stuff like "les Razmokat" for "the Rugrats", and "les Super Nanas" for "the Powerpuff Girls". I never understood these.
