How bizarre. I detest subtitles for myself as I end up reading rather than watching the content - compulsively.

I've never had an issue hearing dialogue so I'm perplexed as to what audio setups are being used to make things so lousy for so many people.

I often need the subtitles also, but like you cannot stop reading them even if the dialog is clear and end up not seeing what is going on in the movie.

The worst is movies like Crouching Tiger Hidden Dragon. It has beautiful visuals and action—and the versions on the streaming services lacked a dubbed version. Had to go blu-ray to getting dubs so I could watch instead of read.
