    I’m with you. If you like subtitles, you do you I won’t judge, they just personally drive me nuts. I try to ignore them when I watch with someone else, but they pull my eyes away from the movie. Plus they spoil jokes and ruin the timing.

    Also, maybe I have super-ears, but I really haven’t struggled to hear dialogue at all in the movies I constantly hear people complain about (mostly Nolan’s). I’m genuinely confused about that controversy, because they sound fine to me.

      I haven’t struggled to hear dialogue in movies either. And I have the opposite of super ears. I had serious issues understanding any speech at all when I was about ten.

      I think people are socially anxious en masse these days and are relieved they can abstract themselves away from the human aspect of the story by not having to watch the action.
