No, but really, fuckin' same. 😶
Thankfully, I learned to appreciate their incredible glow-up back in the early 90s with Patlabor, Lodoss, Akira, Ice & Fire, Moebius, etc., so it feels less of a personal request and simply a surprising disappointment with whatever film in front of me that doesn't offer it by default... 🤌🏼
Nah I listen to podcasts of British, Australia, and non-native English speakers to train my ear so I don't have to use subtitles.
Also helps that I was a musician for 11 years
My partner is English as a second language. They’re always on for her benefit. But as I introduced her to Game of Thrones, I realized I was picking up on details that I’d never noticed prior. I can’t imagine watching without them at this point.
It helps that subtitles got good. Closed captions back in the day suuuuuucked and were only good for the deaf and hard of hearing
I hate subtitles; the only time I'll put them on is mmf mmnmm fmm ffmmm. What? Mmf mmnmm fmm ffmmm. What? Mmf mmnmm fmm ffmmm. What? Oh dammit. -click-. When the elocution is so poor I can't make out what they're saying.
Ah a fellow fan of Steven Seagal
Lol, I hate them. You spend your time reading rather than seeing what's happening. Drives me nuts
I can't read while I'm also trying to see things!
Also any lines that depend on timing of delivery (mostly jokes) get completely ruined
After a while the Japanese words make sense enough that you can just skim the subtitles.
