To be honest I usually think they're tacky because I imagine they detract from the experience of nearly every single person.
It's the kind of thing where there is a horse-drawn carriage going by on screen and they print the text "[clip clop clip clop]". If you can't hear it, wouldn't you just want to watch it?
- avidiax 2y agoSometimes the sound can be offscreen, e.g.: [Window breaking] [Gun cocking] [Stairs creaking]
- stevage 2y agoYeah those make sense to me, because they're part of the plot. The weird ones for me are where some absolutely unintelligible background murmuring is subtitled. I couldn't tell that any actual words had been spoken and suddenly it's all spelt out.
