If you cant hear the dialogue properly, it's usually to do with (bad) surround sound!

I'm watching on my laptop, not a home cinema. This one's on the filmmakers preferring rich people over everyone else
I dunno, we have a decent Dolby Atmos system I've assembled over the years which sounds immense & has a setting to accentuate speech, yet I always use subs for TV & movies. My brain is hopeless putting names to faces, the subs help me with this (plus slang & accents).
I think it's something to do with how my brain processes sound as I have the same issue with songs - my brain doesnt comprehend lyrics, I don't know the words to songs I've heard thousands of times no matter how well known the song is, maybe a few lines from a chorus but that's about it
I’ve got the same song lyric thing, and a pretty decent 5.1 setup.
It’s the modern sound mixing. When I watch a movie from the 90s or early 2000s using the same system, the dialogue is generally clearer
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 hearing is getting worse as I'm getting older and movies/music/etc are just getting mixed worse and worse these days, so subtitles are something I tend to like more these days, especially after getting used to them with anime too. I'm not too surprised others feel the same way too.
It's so bad with shows like Vikings, where they're doing accents that we're unaccustomed to.

Ok, boomer.
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... 🤌🏼
