- anthk 6mo agoDon't let me start on your 'neutral' dub where everything reminds me on either Cantinflas or El Chavo.
- loloquwowndueo 6mo agoRegional accents are a thing and stuff like Argentinian Candy Candy or Cuban Mazinger Z are totally childhood-defining.
- anthk 6mo agoIronically I never watched Dragon Ball in Castillian Spanish but for the OVA's. I've watched the series in Basque long before the Spanish dub ever existed (the Basque one was from 1990) and yes, the manga was a perfect 100% translation, so most of the Latin American memes about dubs don't apply to me.
- rapnie 6mo agoOnce you dub, you can't stop. I'm glad Netherlands doesn't do dubbing. Helps general foreign language profiency, I suppose, and near every Dutch person speaks English quite reasonably.
- Paratoner 6mo agoI never understood this attitude from native speakers towards their own language. I am a fresh NL citizen, and have struggled SO MUCH to assimilate into society largely due to this prevalent mentality of "dutch sux actually, we can all speak english amirite guys??" its so bafflingly self-destructive to your own culture. But go off I guess.
- mihaelm 6mo agoI didn't understand him that way. It's more that it helps if people can more easily pick up a foreign language, or solidify their skills, along the way through media. Doubly so when it's a lingua franca like English. Though for you, I understand you might have been peeved if people kept switching to English when you just wanted to practice Dutch.
- rapnie 6mo agoYes, I meant it that way. And yes, Dutch people too easily switch to English when someone they encountered is not very proficient in Dutch. It is a kind of 'helpfulness' which is not so helpful for foreigners who want to learn Dutch, and I agree that more Dutch people should make the effort and not the easy language switch.
- tverbeure 6mo agoYou've probably never watched Indiana Jones speak French... I was forced to when staying for 2 weeks in the south of Belgium as part of a French immersion program. It's unbearable. When I watch an American movie, I want to hear it the way the director intended it to be. I don't want every villain in every movie have the same voice. If I want to hear Dutch in a movie, I watch a Dutch movie. It's not that deep. The fact that it helps kids learn a different language is a very nice fringe benefit. I remember watching an English movie with an incorrect subtitle in school when I was 12, well before my first English class. The whole auditorium laughed because everyone caught the error.
- loloquwowndueo 6mo ago> I don't want every villain in every movie have the same voice. Sounds like your problem is with crappy, cheap dubbing, not dubbing in general. Look at Disney animation for dubbing done right (and more so in the 20th century - these days I’m not so sure).

- mihaelm 6mo agoSubtitles all the way. Only advantages of dubbing I can see is accessibility for vision impaired and employment opportunities for local VA talent. But dubbed live action media is such a horrid experience for me.
- thefifthsetpin 6mo agoI mean, I also prefer to consume subtitled content, but sometimes it's nice to have the option to look away from the screen and not miss dialog. Some video content can even be consumed as audio-only content and not much will be missed.
- loloquwowndueo 6mo agoDubbed content is ok for young children I guess.
- embedding-shape 6mo agoI'd probably say that most of my early English was learnt by reading subtitles and listening to American cartoons and shows on TV while eating breakfast before school. If it was dubbed, probably once I got my first computer I'd have a way harder time understanding at least the tiny bits I did understand.
- loloquwowndueo 6mo ago> reading subtitles So you were already reading. What about younger children? That said - I fully agree, I’m surprised I don’t speak with a Star Trek accent given where I had most of my early exposure to English.
- embedding-shape 6mo agoI dunno, younger than 5-6 I think most children don't really understand plot lines or whatever anyways so it matters less, a cartoon in English is probably as fun and engaging as one in the native language.
- nslsm 6mo agoYes yes, Spain sucks a lot. Please stay in Venezuela, well away of our awfulness.
- debugnik 6mo agoVice versa for most Spaniard opinions on South American Spanish dubs. Being objective, both sides of the pond have produced many shitty Spanish dubs and some good ones, and unless there's too much difference for a given series we all just prefer our native dub.
