Why hasn't Siegfried gotten the same popularity as Thor and Hercules in the culture zeitgeist
>>
>>23966179
>Thor—Marvel comic books and movies
>Hercules—Disney movie
Meanwhile, there has never been a (good) adaptation of the Ring onto the screen.

Because Siegfried and Roy made everyone associate that name with extreme gayness.

Is it worth learning Middle High German to read Nibelungenlied?
>>
>>23966422
>>23966417
Most plausible
>>
>>23966460
That was based off the Nibelungenlied, not the Ring. I specifically said the Ring.
>>
>>23966179
Because Wagner was deprivileged in public culture after WW2.

>>23966563
IIRC it took some things from the Ring.

Wouldn't be the first time, Wagner's son Siegfried who he wrote the famous Idyll for turned to be a flaming faggot and a disgrace to the family, although he did provide heirs

>>23966726
Is this from rings of power?
I haven't watched it

>>23966179
Thorr isn’t popular at all. The marvel character Thor is popular amongst comic book dweebs, I guess, but there isn’t anything more than a completely superficial relationship between these two entities.
It’s apples to oranges, but oranges have been officially renamed to “appuls”
>>
>>23966461
Learn German and then get a two column edition, middle high German original and the new high German translation
>>
He probably did receive more popularity before WW2

Wagner would hate it. 0/10

It evens out because Rosengarten saga is better than anything with Thor or Hercules

has a more based character ever existed in teutonic lore?

also Siegfried is a hero, whereas Heracles is a demigod and Thor a full god

Thor drunk so much from the ocean that the water level was noticeably lower, which caused the tides to form
Thor wrestled with the embodiment of old age and was only reduced to kneeling with one knee on the floor
Thor lifted a gigantic serpent into the sky
Thor's hammer blows were so strong that entire mountains were destroyed wherever they landed

Picrel is the edition that I got, though it's rather hard to come by. I only found it because I was looking specifically for the Simrock translation.
Recent editions are by Reclam (shit translation, but probably the most easily available edition worldwide) and Deutscher Klassiker Verlag (DKV Taschenbuch), the translation seems lackluster, but still okay for a two-column edition where you will mostly be reading the original anyway.
Beyond that, search for "Nibelungenlied zweisprachig" and "Nibelungenlied Mittelhochdeutsch" and filter the results that you get for two-column editions.

I am currently reading it, and I started without knowing very much about Middle High German. By now, I can read it somewhat fluently, but German is also my native tongue, so it's probably a bit more difficult if it's not.
A good introduction to the basics of the grammar is [1], but a lot of that is easy to figure out as you go. I mostly looked up the grammar after I started noticing that there was something weird going on (especially negations were very weird and often ambiguous in MHG).
