Hey...where is part one of the Exorcist ripoffs?

dooku should be spanish..count of planet serrano and all that

The prequels kinda fail, if you watch them after the originals, cause you know whats gonna happen. But if you watch them before the prequels then they are a masterpiece

Well, Watto might have thought that Qui Gon was using German to try and complete the hoax, and scare him. Since mind tricks don't work, Watto wouldn't know if there was a mind trick played, and any mind tricks done to others may just look like threats to him.

13:03 the fact you compared Jar Jar's Spanish dub to Miss. Piggy sent me into fits of uncontrollable laughter...

This is incredible

It's from the olde Ænglish wyrm means snake, not a worm as today.

Fun fact: Kayumi Iemasa(Saruman's Japanese voice) has also voiced Nefertari Cobra from _One Piece_ , Dr. Nanakamado from _Pocket Monsters: Diamond & Pearl_ and Father(as well as narrator) from _Fullmetal Alchemist: Brotherhood._

Calling War of the Rohirrim “really frickin’ good” is a good way to ensure people watched the video all the way through. Me? I liked the film, but I can’t help but feel it’s missing something. Still, Helm’s final stand was impressive & I loved hearing Billy Boyd & Dominic Monaghan return to the franchise. I will therefore call it “simply good.”

The man has no other hobbies then hating on the Prequels.

Stop being mean to the prequels!

Did you know that every voice actor dubbing Aragorn was contractually obliged to break their toe before performing the scream?

15:45 Regarding the German translation, this might only seem like an issue if you're not a native speaker or if you place too much emphasis on the subtitles. In German, "Mann" means "male", while "man" as an indefinite pronoun means "person". Both are pronounced exactly the same. "Man kann ihn nicht töten" can be translated as "No man can kill him" or, more fittingly, "No one can kill him". A thousand years ago, there was only "man" ("person"), and most people are still familiar with this older meaning due to its use in the language. To be fair, if the prophecy were phrased this way today, people would likely assume it refers to a male. However, given the historical/archaic context, people can still interpret it as ambiguous, referring either to a person in general or specifically to a male. In its conclusion, the meaning is essentially the same as in the English version.

I'm not joking when I say, the Japanese Elvish sounded jaw-droppingly beautiful.

Heh Sir Garrett Morris

Who was the black dude in the beginning

The reason japanese elven sounds good is because elvish is based on finnish and Japanese has almost the same sounds as finnish

Czech translation has another play on Proudfeet. Instead of Hrdonožkové which would refer to a people Bilbo says Hrdonožky. And that sounds really really like centipedes (stonožky).

Interesting. German is similiar to French: In casual speach the simple past is rarely used, but in the opening of the movie, the German Galadriel uses it. Probably because it sounds more sophisticated this way. Never thought about this before. Names: I would never have associated "Beutlin" (Baggins) with "Beutel" (Bag), but "Beutelsend" (Bag end) is quit obvious. And "tuk" is "fat" in czech, wich may explain the change...

The Japanese mastered Elvish so quickly and still can't master German and English :D (Well done with those Elves Japan)

"Don't be a wizard, kids. Do drugs instead." Your love of the halflings leaf has clearly slowed your mind.

translating "Wormtongue" with some equivalent of "Snake" is not wrong at all. in Old English Wyrm meant "snake". And Tolkien uses Old English to represent the language of the Rohirrim. In fact, Tolkien often uses the term "Worm" to describe Glaurung the father of Dragon in the Silmarillion.

I think there's a misconception about the use of the "passé simple". We didn't stop using it. It's just a tense for narration. Therefor it's useless on an everyday conversation. It's still used in novels, fictions and so on, for exemple Michel Houellebecq use it in its novels taking place in modern times. It's even used in a fantasy book for children from 2011. In The Lord of the Rings trilogie, it's totaly adequate to use the "passé composé" considering it's a narration inside an adaptation of a book.

Lol only itaian and japanese make names right

c'est une vidéo Française ?

the use of "passé simple" in the French Galadriel Intro does not make it seem that much old fashioned. Sure, it would not be common to speak like this nowadays, but no one in the film uses any modern ways of speach anyway, be it Frodo, Sam, Gandalf or Aragorn. The rythm she speaks with, the words she uses and the *liaisons* she makes while talking are way more working in grounding her character in the realm of "ancient and ceremonial", and even then she speaks like a person from 1950, not 1550.

Fun fact, the guy who dubbed for anakin also done Jim Hawkins for treasure planet. Thanks for downright insulting our(🇭🇺)mothers' tongue!

George never specifically intended the namoidians being chinese.🧨;"Idiot"!

Translations of names where conceived by Tolkien himself so I don't respect any of your commentary of them

fun fact spongebob has a welsh dub

The japanese did try very hard, but I still see they have trouble with L TH as well as GW, but that's to be expected from Japanese phonetics, and is otherwise a great attempt. Also in old Germanic languages like old english and old norse "worm" meant any animal that is long and either limbless or stubby limbed, such as worms, snakes, and even dragons (see old norse depictions of dragons on runestones and engraved into wood and you will understand why).

8:07 ICBC jumpscare

quebecois jumpscare

What a way to start the year <3

4:10 The Polish version doesn't change his name either, but in Poland most foreign movies aren't dubbed, but instead we have a "lektor" who reads a translation in a monotone voice while the original voice acting is kept untouched

I think a lot of the small translation differences come down to translation differences from the books. For example, for the german dub, Grima worm tongue is renamed Grima Schlangenzunge "snake tongue", because that is how he is called in the german books aswell. That decision was supposedly made by the original translator back in the 50s because comparing someone to a worm isnt really a thing in german, while comparing a liar to a snake is. The word schlangenzunge was also already an existing word, and also, Wurmzunge just doesnt read/sound as well as Schlangenzunge does. There are similar reasons for other name changes, like Rivendell to Bruchtal or Baggins to Beutlin

Have you considered doing something similar with the lord of the rings as you did with the star wars prequels?

Japanese elvish honestly sounds great. They really nail the ethereral nature of the elves.

10:18 HammaH

Great video as always. But one thing bugged me. For the scene about the potatoes, the latin Spanish dub uses "patatas", but, correct me if I'm wrong, but you guys say "papas", right?

Yeah, this is basically how someone fixed tPM for me, they just switched out a few aliens' voices with scrambled versions that sounded like alien speech, and suddenly it's like ANH's subtitles and it's better :) They did rewrite some of the dialog in the subtitles because they had the freedom to do that, though, so maybe that was part of what won me over. Funny how much rides on the language in the prequels

What about C-3PO?

No Poland cameo? :(

Dear Cineglot! As a Greek, I have to clarify some things. First, Spíros Zoupános, Spongebob's first Greek voice actor, was having trouble maintaining the voice, as he mentioned in an interview, stating that it is too difficult to maintain it for a long acting time. The director was telling him not to forget the voice because in difficult scenes it was getting lower. And he also mentioned that, compared to Tom Kenny's voice, his own voice was much lower. Also, it's βγάλω,not φγάλω. Nice video, btw! Pardon my incorrect English.

As a german i can confirm, the best thing you can do as a star wars fan, is to watch revenge of the sith in german!

6:39 to 7:03 and 8:33 to 8:49 are probably my top 2 favourites.

How do you not have 100K subs already

Not mentioning hindi even though a lot is baded on india is a bit grim

Latin american here first, the oreste thing just diesn't make sense. And second, i think the most interesting thing about the spanish dubs (latam and spain) is that they both changed some character names, but to the same names, which isn't very common, they usually either keep the original name or change it but both have a different one. I don't know wether this was an order from nickelodeon or just a coincidence, i believe it's the first cause spain had 2 dubs for season 1 and the first one kept the original names, but i dont know for sure. By the way, most older cartoon characters do share the same changed name in both regions cause spanish from spain wasn't an independent dub until around the 70s

This is so good 😂
