Yeah. I understand the trend. It makes sense. It's not unreasonable.

I still hate it. I have a nice home theater and my wife STILL trys to turn on subtitles. For me, I can't not read them. Even in English with a good sound system. My brain just focuses on subtitles anyway. Movies and TV are a visual medium. I want to watch the movie. I want to see the color choices, the framing of the characters, the cool CGI. With subtitles, I only SEE half the movie. I have less time to process each seen.

So yeah, same. If I wanted to read, I'd read a book.
