The worst kind of tornado.

I have subtitles on everything because of a combination of not having the TV on very loud, basically everything I watch mixing dialogue way too low to begin with, and a refusal to learn to understand what British people are saying most of the time

I've seen shit you people wouldn't believe. Cop cars on fire off the shoulder of I-94. I watched search lights glitter in the dark near the Ambassador Bridge. All those moments will be lost in time, like piss in the drain. Time to retch.
Maybe I'm an old too but while I settled on "The" after relistening 3 times to make sure, I can hear why people might have heard "A".

I don't trust captioning though. I'm a slow reader and I'm easily distracted so I end up unable to focus on the action while reading an inaccurate interpretation of words I can hear just fine.

Maybe I'm not old I'm just handicapped.

I think for English speaking shows on the bigger streaming sites captions are pretty close to perfect.

On non English stuff it can be pretty hit and miss. Amazon Prime stuff can be exceptionally bad in this regard.

I've run into a few official Bluray releases of Non English content that have poor subs as well.


E: must have missed the "English language" part of your post.

I have good hearing but I sometimes can't really make out what people are saying or song lyrics so subtitles are a godsend. I assume it's some brain thing. :shobon:

Mismatches are usually from using the shooting script to make the subtitles and then there being some amount of ad-lib.

I guess I'll have to pay more attention to subs. I typically leave them on but haven't noticed any glaring mismatches.

I've seen both instances of this and instances where it's clearly they've just transcribed it by listening and heard the wrong word or not known a term that was specifically used for that movie/show and doesn't exist otherwise.

Sometimes they're also captioned based off a pre-release version that ends up being tweaked a little and the lines change.

One show that I can think of off hand with crazy caption issues is Letterkenny on Crave. Not sure if Hulu uses the same caption set. It usually doesn't account for the character quirks. One character adds S to nearly every second word he says and the captions don't always include those, sometimes in the same sentence. Another character says "Oh my gourd" instead of God and early seasons used "God" but eventually fixed it. All of them say "exposed" instead of "supposed" and it's hit and miss whether they do that or not. Lots of misspellings of hockey related terms too.

I wonder if they caption it based on the script or something and the actors add those in themselves during filming.

There was an ep of Brooklyn 99 where Jake lies to Boyle, and tells him that he's hanging out with a friend of Amy's named "Ted Crap", but in the subtitles, instead of Ted Crap it read "Ron Weasley".*



*This was on the broadcast subtitles; they seemed to have fixed on the Hulu site.

I'm all for dunking on Rowling, but wasn't there a subplot in B99 where Amy was a huge Potter nerd (which, obviously) and Jake got into the books when he went to prison for a year in like... season 4? 5?

It just looks so good, like 4 or 5 levels above previous CW productions. I wonder if there's HBO Max money in there somewhere.

Are the CW shows migrating to Max? Thought they all went to Netflix after air...

HBOMax is owned by Warner Brothers, as is DC Comics, Netflix probably has a bunch of outstanding contracts for CW shows, but new poo poo like Superman & Lois probably isn't showing up there

The streaming rights almost certainly played a part in the decision to wind down Black Lightning and Supergirl.
