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.

          Reading comprehension isnt your forte, is it?

          I told you I watched Dr Who in it’s original language. Glad you could feel superior for a second because of autocorrect.

          What an asshole

            There you go, the germ is butthurt and starts the insults.
            I could call you an asshole but you are a Germ so that’s already worse.

              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.

                Who TF cares about a word, it’s about the awful germ being a typical germ and calling me an asshole for it.
                I told him to get lost and you can do the same, get a life.

                  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.

              It isnt an insult, it’s an observation.

              And now you show your true colours and comfirm my assessment. You hate people based on where they’re born. You need a deep look into the mirror or youll end up in a very dark place where your mind will rot further and further, consumed by hate.

              Maybe youll find that you hate yourself and are projecting.

                You’re the one suffering from projection.
                I made an neuttral observation and you immediately replied with insults.
                I am in a very good place, I avoid germs like the plague since they are incapable of acting like normal humans.
                As is shown here again.
                Your pseudo-psychological profiling isn’t worth shit.
                If anything ask yourself what’s wrong with your own ultra-nationalistic country.
                Having films dubbed, their universally hated awful tourists speaking germ in other countries and thinking everyone should understand them.
                Always on the wrong side of history, now supporting the Isntreal genociders and their police beating up peaceful protesters.
                You really can’t control yourself for long can you?
                They should build a wall around it.
                I know historically you can’t seem to not impose yourselves or go into places they don’t want you but just shut up and go away, the weather is good, I’mgoing to have fun (look up what it means), some miserable germ isn’t going to ruin my day.

                  A really high horse you’re sitting on with PVV at 24% in the last election.

                  Self reflection, you need it desperately.

                  Fix your own country before blaming others.

                  I could go on my bike and visit you in less than an hour, so tell me how different we are from another, neighbour.

                  Yeah, I forgot that netherland was never on the wrong side of history. And since you don’t translate your movies, you’re definitely superior to anyone.

                  Do you listen to yourself sometimes?

                  You sound like a Nazi

                  Arent we supposed stand together against the enemy that’s trying to weaken our democracy and make it an autocraty?

                    lol I’m not following your opa to the eastern front for US imperialism.
                    I’m sure the germs can’t wait to get destroyed again.
                    I’ll just move and have a laugh but have fun
