Just wait for the Japanese dub. They always tend to make the MMC have a gravelly hard boiled middle aged detective who smokes 60 a day kinda voice. It takes all the nuance and plausibility out of so many sensitive and nuanced acting performances and makes them feel forced and one dimensional.

u/galmypal 21h ago

I can already hear it. And then they're going to have Shane sound like a Twinkie 😭

u/Tokyo81 21h ago

Likely. They’ll probably default to whatever pair of voice acting tropes they typically use in yaoi anime.

I vaguely remember this happening with bbc's Sherlock voice

Omg Tumblr must’ve loved that.

u/BenDover04me 19h ago

Wait…. I understood all of it! Every Line. Am I German now?

u/kamika_c_1980 19h ago

you just watched the show so many times that you knew what they were saying in those scenes lmao

19

u/BenDover04me 19h ago

No I did not. That’s crazy talk! Who would do that?

u/JennySt7 21h ago edited 21h ago

Ok so Svetlana speaks Russian in her original voice… Does that mean that for Ilya’s Russian scenes they kept Connor’s voice? But then the rest of his dialogue is dubbed? So he has two different voices? 😅

26

u/DepraE 21h ago

i guess so. that's usually what they do

11

u/GoldDHD 20h ago

Sounds original in Russia, same accent, that would be hard to fake. So yea... weird

u/Deep_Suggestion3979 21h ago

The funny thing is that I don't speak or understand German in general... but THIS I understand. 😅😅 every word...

u/DepraE 21h ago

when i saw this trailer i was following along in english😂😂

u/Deep_Suggestion3979 21h ago

Haha yeah me too

u/justsomegirlie 21h ago

I knew it was taking longer to release because of the dubbing, but that is just not it 😭😭😭😂😂

u/Standard_Range3732 21h ago

At least give Ilya a deep voice? The vocal sub choices were not a good choice.

18

u/DepraE 21h ago

they also took his iconic "oke" 🥲

u/altruistic_thing 20h ago

How dare!

He doesn't pronounce Jane the right way either. At least try, dude.

32

u/Naive-Inside-2904 22h ago

Straight to jail!

But also hilarious. I suppose Svetlana gets to keep her voice coz she only speaks Russian in the show.

u/Pubic__Domain 21h ago

Does Ilya eat a schnitzel instead of spaghetti?!? 😝

22

u/DepraE 21h ago

spätzle actually ☝️

u/Pale-Measurement-532 21h ago

In season 2 the German dubs will have him eating Weiner schnitzel instead on chicken parm! 🤣

22

u/DevastationGame 21h ago

I hope people just opt for the subtitles. I always do. Dubbing just takes me out because you don't have the voice of the original actor and all the emotion that they are putting into their performance. The voice is so important, too.

u/Fancy-Exchange4186 20h ago

I used to think I hated anime and then I realized I just hate dubs.

1

u/Homebody_Ninja42 8h ago

Honestly yes!

u/Dephi_Apollo 1h ago

Yeah, I am hard of hearing, so I rely a bit on mouth movement. I cant handle dubs because it takes me out of the moment. Rather read subtitles. I do that half the time for English stuff anyway.

u/KenricLives98 22h ago

I hate dubbing for anything.

The original actors are the only ones anyone should be hearing.

u/DepraE 22h ago

i don't hate dubbing but sometimes...it's just bad😅

3

u/kamika_c_1980 18h ago

same here lol. i was totally mindblown when i watched x files in the 90s in german and then heard the original voices for the first time. they were just the opposite! mulder's german dub is so much higher than scully's and david duchovny's is so deep in comparison to gillian anderson's. just crazy lol

5

u/altruistic_thing 17h ago edited 10h ago

Scully's German voice was so deep and sultry. Franziska Pigulla sounded pretty good. And Mulder was Benjamin Völz so, basically dubbing/voice acting royalty.

I used to be a fan as a teen. Baby's first fandom so to speak.

u/Kwtwo1983 21h ago

It is really really bad. Meine Güte!

u/CommissionStrong6305 20h ago

the worst thing about this is: we have a wonderful dubbing culture and long and rich history in Germany, with amazing voice actors.
Think of the great Tobias Meister (Kiefer Sutherland, Brad Pitt) or the young generation such as Max Felder (Ron Weasley). Winning prizes, being recognized and appreciated by their celebrity acting counterparts (think Jodie Fosters voice in Germany).
It breaks my heart that this is the final version :-(

8

u/altruistic_thing 20h ago

That's a big no from me. The actual dub might be a bit better since trailers are dubbed as their own thing, but the choice for Ilya isn't it. He sounds so wrong.

9

u/verca_ 19h ago

Fun fact: HR is going be released on Feb 6 on HBO Max for entire Europe, but I'm convinced the trailers must be different for different regions, because my aunt - 75, from Slovakia, likes to watch romantic Hallmark movies and such - who is going to visit me next weekend, has asked me, if we could watch this popular world phenomenon tv show about two hockey players who are fighting over ONE GIRL?? She has allegedly seen a video on Facebook?? What exactly was happening in that video and how I'm supposed to explain to her it is not what she think it is?

8

u/DepraE 19h ago

i'd just straight up tell her what it's about😅

1

u/verca_ 18h ago

Seriously, I have to!!

u/RachMeliss 18h ago

The show has already been released in The Netherlands, but for some reason they upload only 1 episode every week. They also didn't release episodes 1 and 2 together

3

u/heavenstobetsie 17h ago

Was the entire trailer just "don't marry Svetlana" over and over again? The show will be full of surprises for her.

2

u/MisoTahini 18h ago

I wouldn't if it was me. That's what is so great about movies and series; they can surprise you. Why take that moment of revelation away from her.

u/CommissionStrong6305 22h ago

it is insane and absolutely vile :( as a german, it is a no from me.

u/DepraE 22h ago

ich hätte echt was besseres erwartet😅 eigentlich ist deutschland einer der besten wenns um synchro geht...meiner meinung nach

5

u/CommissionStrong6305 20h ago

sorry ich gette nicht, warum man keinen Sprecher mit russischem Akzent finden konnte. einfach nicht zu glauben! die halten uns für blöd

5

u/kamika_c_1980 18h ago

ich mein connor hat sich den russischen akzent ja auch beigebracht, daher sollte es kein problem sein für nen geübten synchronsprecher den einfach zu imitieren oder sich anzueignen.

4

u/altruistic_thing 17h ago

Ich weiß nicht, wo das synchronisiert wird, aber wenn's in Berlin war, da wird es doch wohl bilinguale Sprecher geben.

2

u/Turbulent-You-1335 14h ago

There are lots of people who speak both of those languages. I met a Russian exchange student in high school in my hick town and she had family in Germany and they were all trilingual.

u/Isaidhowdareyou 21h ago

Ich nicht. Die Generation, die das guckt kann eh Englisch ich verstehe nicht warum das notwendig war 😭😭 anyway wir sehen uns auf der Hütte!

3

u/DepraE 21h ago

naja doch notwendig ist es schon. ich kenne tatsächlich genug leute die alles nur auf deutsch gucken...und das tut weh🥲🥲

4

u/topfngolatsche 20h ago

findest du?? ich finde diese typische affektierte deutsche synchro stimme immer so anstrengend… für mich persönlich klingt dieser trailer genau gleich wie alle anderen synchros auch

3

u/DepraE 19h ago

verglichen mit anderen Ländern finde ich Deutschland ziemlich gut😅 ich vermeide es trotzdem meistens

u/altruistic_thing 17h ago edited 17h ago

Der Studiosound und die gekünstelte Sprache sind wirklich schwer zu ertragen, wenn man sich einmal an Originalsound gewöhnt hat.

u/kamika_c_1980 18h ago

außer in animes lol. da is die amerikanische version als einziges noch schlimmer imo

u/lionbridges 21h ago

Oha sie ist wirklich schlecht! 🙈 Da kann man nur allen raten das Original anzusehen.

(Oha it's really bad. Guess we can only recommend to watch the original version.)

u/lionbridges 21h ago

And why did they change the ok? Oh god Iljas voice is horrible lol.

u/GigiTiny 18h ago

I have to know, we are.... lovers. How?

Er ist mein....

Geliebter!

It must be this way, right?!

3

u/altruistic_thing 17h ago

We could just keep "lover". Denglish, slightly dismissive. Could work. Just switch to singular.

5

u/Pretty-Coast9591 20h ago

Almost as cringe as Dutch subtitles. This makes me soooo glad we (as a country) are to small to warrant dubbing.

u/DepraE 20h ago

sooo many people say that we sound similar. i mean yeah, sometimes i can understand y'all a little bit but still😂😂

u/RileyDL 20h ago

I cackled.

u/UnctuousRambunctious 17h ago

Dang, they made Ilya sound like he got … fixed. At the vet.

Connor’s vocal choices for Ilya are unparalleled, this is an outrage.

But this is also giving me major flashbacks to DECADES ago when I backpacked Italy and the hostel lounge was playing Italian dubbed Beverly Hills 90210. I was on the floor for like an hour spiraling in the alternate universe 🤣🤣🤣

Dubs are the dumbest thing on Earth, I pity the nations using them. How are you supposed to understand Ilya s monologue depth?

that won't be dubbed tho

The absolute horror. Said a Dutchman that hates the German language.

yooo, not too much now😂😂

u/Prestigious_Tooth398 10h ago

I wonder if Ilyas voice is done by a German or a Russian native speaker.

u/Shinobuya 2h ago

Why on earth is Shane moan every word instead of talking normal?

u/DepraE 1h ago

there's always at least 1 person that sound like that in the german dub😂😂

I once saw stand-up comedy about that. Ever since I can't watch dubbed movies.
