Hi, it's Hisha again. I have nothing better to do than compare the French version of the movie (which I saw first, even though I missed the beginning) and the original one. I'll use the DVD I own as a reference. With every translation come lots of necessary modifications, mainly because so many phrases that are used constantly in a language wouldn' ( Read more... )

I was writing something to Karen B. Jones about the pronounciation of Metrocity, when I thought about this: what are the differences between the original jokes in English and the versions in other languages of Megamind's movie? Often, fanfiction writers specify that English isn't there first language. So, I'm not the only one in this community who ( Read more... )

I was checking my mail when this caught my eye

More bad news coming out of the Land of the Rising Sun: Just checked the international site and Japan has been removed completely from the list of international release dates. It was originally slated for a March 12th release, but that obviously didn't happen. The best they can hope for now is a direct-to-video release, but don't expect that ( Read more... )

Ollo everyone!

Just a quick post where I stand atop my soapbox and get a little serious for a moment. *insert Metro Man quote here*.

Today is International Women's Day, and as a professional in the Social Work field, I'm always acutely aware of what this means for people all across the globe. Although I wish these sorts of issues were always on our ( Read more... )

Konnichi wa, minna-san! I found a new Megamind Japanese subtitle file that appears to have originated from the one I translated before, as many of the lines (and mistakes) are identical, however, many of the lines have been updated.
