That was "El alucinante mundo de Norman" ("Norman's awesome world") in Spain, even thought "paranormal" is still a word in spanish. We have that much faith in our children's ability to grasp a simple pun!.

Also, "Monsters University" is impossibly titled "Monstruos University", which doesn't even make any sense. For the first one we got the inc.in the title translated as "S.A." (the term for joint-stock company in spanish).

I think I still have some residual mad left in me from watching taken 2 in a cinema.

It's not like I was super pumped or anything some m8's just asked me if I wanted to watch it in like 15 minutes or something and I said "Sure!", having some vague memories of the first one being pretty good and then the movie was so fucking awful it made me want to cry.

It's possibly the worst case of a completely phoned in sequel not understanding what made the first one successful I've ever seen.

That movie was just weird, they loaded so much action into it and absolutely none of it was interesting. I'm watching people just non stop getting their shit kicked in and I'm feeling like falling asleep or leaving the cinema, that shouldn't happen....

‘Army of Darkness’ became ‘Captain Supermarket’

A classic here. This blisteringly odd translation of classic horror flick ‘Army of Darkness’ goes some way to explaining this movie poster. The Japanese renamed the film ‘Kyaputien supamaketto’ - or ‘Captain Supermarket’- because Ash (Bruce Campbell) worked in one, apparently. Notice how he’s standing on cans of Bruce Campbell Soup.

It's not a language thing. In English if you want to say shark, you say shark. In biological terms though they are classified as fish.

no, they used the word for "fish". in my country sharks are a different word entirely, and were not really regarded as fish until the 50's.

why not use the word for shark? you wouldn't call a ecco the dolphin ecco the marine mammal? would you?

in my language, fish are divided into two groups, roughly fish and sharks. we would never call a shark a fish or a fish a shark. it is like calling a sock a shoe!
>>
>>34326597
Hey, we're not saying it's not a dumb movie title, we're just saying: a shark IS a fish.

The simpsons used to be "Capitalist Americans" they are called the simpsons now, but they changed the dubbing a lot.

Bart Gets run over by car episode, burns got away with it because he was rich, and bart was permanently injured in the first dub i saw of it

>>34326656
Okay, it's a commom use, but you have to know that you're wrong. A shark is as fish. Period.

jokes work but the fucking accents man, boomhauer sounds just like any other guy and so does hank, kinda sad they didn't even tried to give them a funny voice like they do in other cartoon dubs, maybe because is a "serious" one

Shit. Here in Brazil there's a lot of difference in the dubbed version, that's inevitable, but the dubbbing in the 8 first seasons was great, then they changed to a shitty one.

Quebec's translation > French translation
Every time i watch something that's been translated in Paris, i get the impression they don't give two shits about respecting the original film.

That'd be a nice change of pace from America stealing all the British shows.

KOTH was fully adapted in quebec
qc-french VO
the characters name and setting were changed to something more quebecer (hank turns into henri, peggy, paulette)

it worked, but the original version is better imo since its meta as fuck

Let's be honest, the direct translation of Jaws sounds silly. They were right to improvise.

Well they adapted well the simpsons in a "Quebecers" but nothing beat the america's one.
>>
i know french (from france) fuck up a lot of movie title
like, they dont even bother to at least adapt it in french, they just call it another name
like that shitty 300 "parody" titled "epic movie", they called it "big movie". its not even in french, they fucking changed the title and did not even bother to title it in french

>>34327065
yeah, its a shame, everything that plays on télétoon is flash shit or seth macfarlane shit
though, american dad is alright
>>
>>34327092

They are called "Ugly American Tourist" in my country

>>34327184
see
>>34327092
thats what i mean
they just take the title, throw it in the garbage can and come up with another title, in english (i remind you, they're in france), that makes no fucking sense

at the time it was considered a raunchy comedy series about people with no self control, having sex in the library what the fuck! and with a student!

tAlso, hey were "broken up!" as well, Rachel is horrible woman, he should have tied her to chair and backhanded her until she cries if the show was made here that is what would have happened!
>>
>>34327580
oh, we are not sexual prudes, but having sex itself is a private act and doing it in a public place would lead to Jail time here
