TLOVM S3E7 in the German dub

In the beginning, young Anna only says "the Assembly" but in the German dub it's "die Cerberus-Versammlung" (cerberus assembly). So, the translator must have been provided with some background info to make that decision. Very helpful 👍

When Percy finds the clue for Ripley's location, he says "I may have a theory", but in German he says "Mir schwant da leider Übles." (Unfortunately, I sense something evil.) This is a more negative way to put it. (Also, schwanen is pretty complicated to translate back into English)

Grog's "Roadtrip!" is "Klassenfahrt!" (School trip), which is hilarious because he's never seen the inside of a school 😂 (Ausflug would have been great, because they're actually... flying)

The "I'm - Disarmed" thing doesn't work. Vex only says "ich" (I), and Vax says "Entschärft" (disarmed) because well he did disarm a trap, but that doesn't have the same double meaning in German. So, Vax basically just interrupts her.

Oh, now Cabal's Ruin is translated as Cabals Verderben. When we first come across it, the translation is Cabals Ruine (which is wrong, so yay good on them for changing that! The deadlines must be quite short if there's no time to go back and change the earlier mistakes)

When Pike sees Zerxus in a vision, he says "The gods promise honey and wine", which becomes "Die Götter versprechen das Blaue vom Himmel" which is a great example of translating figures of speech with a good equivalent from the other language (The gods promise the blue out of the sky)

And again, good job with the song. That's definitely something I would really struggle with.

hey so are we thinking the person who’s giving the order to kill Anna’s village is Trent or what?

I'm going to let the season end before I go into any in-depth reviews of its episodes but....I'm sorry. So far, while they did some really cool, even incredible things, The Legend of Vox Machina's Cloak and Dagger and Thordak's Throne lose by a very wide mile to how things went down in the stream.

There's absolutely no question of that for me.

My thoughts on TLoVM S3E7-9 (major spoilers below):

ehem

HUH?

WHAT THE FUCK??

WHAT DO YOU MEAN PERCY IS DEAD???

I know he gets killed there in the campaign but he was RESURRECTED

so whAT THE *FUCK* IS GOING ON???

also WHY IS KASH DEAD???

AND WHY IS SCANLAN COMATOSE (okay I know it's so they can properly do Bard's Lament in a setting where resurrection is much rarer than it was in the campaign BUT STILL)

anyway my head hurts and my heart hurts and I want to throw up, 10/10 these episodes ruled
