Which is doubly sad cause the German synchro is pretty damn good. As a big Lord of the Rings fan, I am so glad we've been spared this. Allegedly cause Tolkin knew German and actually helped with the translation. BUT they of course had to do a re-translation for some arcane reason and in the new version Sam calls Frodo "Chef", he literally calls him his boss. I feel like there is a lot to learn from the brain of the person responsible for this. All of it highly disturbing.
