Is the game Epic Mickey in Germany really called Micky Epic?

Why?

You actually bothered by that?

And you think language differences don't cause some phrases to reverse to fit with their grammar?



A flashy-first game is awesome when it comes out. A great-first game is awesome forever.

What would the German grammar do with that?

no, it isn't called Micky Epic in German.

 

it's called "Disney Micky Epic"

 see? now it makes a lot more sense!

 

... not



“It appeared that there had even been demonstrations to thank Big Brother for raising the chocolate ration to twenty grams a week. And only yesterday, he reflected, it had been announced that the ration was to be reduced to twenty grams a week. Was it possible that they could swallow that, after only twenty-four hours? Yes, they swallowed it.”

Why did the Germans eat the E of Mickey? I dunno why they renamed the game in Germany, but in Spain they left it as Epic Mickey, though if they wanted to localize it - should have gone down the same route with Mickey Épico (which I think also works with Portuguese).

That is even more fucked up because it does not make sense at all. None whatsoever.

Lets just put three random words behind each other....

Because English eats the "e". We would have pronounced it....

Oh, I just thought the word order was changed, not the spelling.

I really don't know why that happened.
