Yeah but the thing about being British is the local language is English. So I don’t need subtitles to watch John Wick.
Usually subtitles are only for the benefit of people who are deaf who obviously aren’t very large percentage of the population so they get a little plexiglass thing so everyone else doesn’t have to look at pointless subtitles.
Yeah no. So much dialogue is unclear in movies. I started using subs when I had kids because they’re loud and discovered so many lines in movies I’ve seen many times but had never understood before. Now we watch everything with subs even if kids aren’t present.
I’m also a native English speaker and I tend to disagree. I often find it hard to understand what the actors are saying due to poor sound quality and/or mixing. The explosions are too loud, the speech is too soft and I find myself turning on subtitles and playing around with the volume when watching movies at home.

I have working ears and I always watch media with subtitles. Don’t pretend to speak for me.
