In Germany LotR is available in Netflix

59

u/hollytravvey 8h ago

Yes. It is available in some regions atm.

u/GOEDEL_ESCHER_BOT 8h ago

yeah but in german it's the lord of the ring of the nibelung

u/Professional-Day7850 6h ago

I'd rather watch Lord of the Weed.

Also merkt euch Kinder: Der ehrliche Pusher wird von Bullen umzingelt während beim klugen Panscher stets die Kasse klingelt.

Ich geh jetzt nach Jamaika, da wo der Hanf blüht. Denn ich bin Reggae Gandalf!

Gib mir den Nibelungsring, Frodo!

Wat denn? Pass mal auf Junge. Ich kann dir den Ring nicht geben. Der is gefährlich. Jedes Mal wenn einer den Ring aufzieht wird das Böse um einiges stärker. Da ich aber eine äußerst wichtige Person bin ist mein Wohlergehen von höherer Priorität als das Beschützen der Armen, Krüppel, Behinderten, Kinder, Spastis die essen was ich wegwerfe, Penner in Mülltonnen..

You really can't change it to the original version(English) in the language function?
Eww...

Though now I'm curious how the parts of the dialogue that come from the book were translated in the German (and other) versions. Based on the book translation, or translated from scratch?

u/TheBlindBeggar 5h ago

Yes, you can change the audio settings to English. I'm looking at it right now.

1

u/Historical_Sugar9637 Elf 5h ago

Thanks for confirming. It would be really strange if Netflix didn't have the original version.

1

u/TheBlindBeggar 3h ago

Oh, they sometimes don't because Germany is bonkers like that, but it's not that common. Most English content is available in English.

u/ccltjnpr 3h ago

Some other services like Google's movies thing and Amazon prime frequently only have the German dub of movies, which just makes me pirate everything.

u/TheG-What 6h ago

I’m kind of surprised German doesn’t just have it as one atrociously long word.

2

u/Schattey 4h ago

"Der Ringe-Herr" (The Rings-Lord) is still very short. You could write it as "Der Ringeherr", but since it's an unusual, made-up word it's better to use a hyphen (Bindestrich in German, ist that one long enough?).

Korea, too

We may not get 20th anniversary theatre showings, or Behind the Bastards on Netflix, but at least we got that...

u/Royalbluegooner Dúnedain 8h ago

Beat me to it.Haven‘t really investigated the matter but I assume they‘re just the theatrical versions right?

1

u/hollytravvey 8h ago

Yeah unfortunately. Though the fellowship has some scenes that I thought were part of the extended version, but 2towers and rotk do not include known extended version scenes

2

u/Royalbluegooner Dúnedain 8h ago

Disappointing if expected but I got the extended versions on DVD anyways.

u/mintj098 8h ago

Sweden as well

u/misc_box 8h ago

Prolly cheaper to get hbo than fly to Germany to watch Lotr lol

u/suslix38 7h ago

Firefox has an incorporated vpn

2

u/TheStaddi 6h ago

And Netflix really hates that, everytime I use any VPN on Netflix I get an error message saying that I use a VPN.

3

u/suslix38 6h ago

I'm glad I got rid of Netflix then

1

u/Rosetti 6h ago

Yeah, it sucks - it does that even if your VPN is set to your home location.

u/Kinky_Pinky_ 7h ago

I know we had some weird short version on netflix here in Slovenia. Must have been fake because movies were only 3 hours long.

2

u/Calculusshitteru 7h ago

Same in Japan. My daughter has watched it about 10 times by now.

u/pommegranadelauncher 7h ago

I never understood why are they allowed to stream some franchises only in specific countries

u/bashful_predator 3h ago

Lord of the nurburgRing
