A Man on the Inside season 1 was fantastic. A great mystery and a heartfelt dissection on loneliness and how community can be found in many ways and different places. Season 2 only improves on this. While the mystery may have been easier to solve, I think it does a brilliant job showcasing (1/2)

Localization done correctly involves changing the dialogue. This isn't out of disrespect; it's so the original creator's intent comes through to the intended audience.

When it comes to comedy, for instance, there's a saying, "The subs can tell you a joke. The dub has to make you laugh."
I can’t begin to tell you how incredible localization teams are.

They don’t “just” translate - they rewrite jokes and idioms to recreate the same emotional (or funny) in a different culture and language style, and give invaluable advice on character, regional dialects, and cultural norms
Translation isn't expensive. In fact, it's frequently the biggest return on investment:

For the top 100 grossing movies of all time, 50% of their profits were made outside of English, and they spent less than 1% of their budget on localization.

Good thing the Democrats spent the last week melting down about Zohran Mamdani winning the NYC mayoral primary because otherwise more Americans might have known that the GOP was planning to fuck them to high hell and that wouldn't have been a good use of their time

oh wait

Stop the inauguration, he admitted to at least knowledge of election interference. He's not hiding it. Nixon left office for less. #InvestigateNotInaugurate
