This is why I'm team permanent subtitles

Same. Too bad the option isn’t available in cinemas. They should have sessions where the movie has subtitles throughout the whole movie

How good would it be to be able to understand the whole damn movie. Like it’s 21 century and yet when they have characters speaking in another language often times instead of translating in English so we know what’s been said it show [speaking in insert that countries’ dialogue] so you’re just sitting there like, wtf did they say though. Ok so it’s that countries language but what’s the conversation if you don’t know that language. Like what is that?!?! How do they get away with doing that so often?!?!

Me too, although I hate it when the subtitles spoil the punchline of a joke.

A small price to pay
