Classic dubs seemed so much better. Now most dubs seem unwatchable (thelemmy.club)

I am not just comparing the length of the words. I am talking about how subtitles tend to be very basic and just get the gist of the point across.

    I would respond to that also with "I have never found this to be true" (or at least the vast majority of subtitles I have read I would not characterize that way). But of course there's no real way for me to deny your own experience, unless you want to give specific examples.

    (Also, l am talking about anime and typical anime subtitles. I just noticed that you mentioned Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon; I think it's very possible live-action subtitles are done in a categorically different way from anime subtitles.)
