Every time I see one of you in a thread the other would come in and throw a insult unprovoked. Been that way for how long now.

Ok but that cuz he would insult multiple posters in multiple threads. After the truce he mentioned me first. But whatever yall think whatever.
 
Watching this Korean flick called "Witch". It has English subtitles. The girl was drinking a bottle of soda that was clear. The subtitles said "pass the 7 up". The label on the bottle was clearly not 7 up but some Korean drink.

This got me questioning all subtitles, lol. Didn't know Dr.Peper had that type of reach in the film industry.

The subtitles are for english speaking people. Sometimes the translators take liberties to make sure things are understood. If they put the name of the Korean drink instead, most of the English readers probably wouldn't have known what it was.

That makes sense at times but for the scene I'm talking about, it was a certain soda that paired well with the snack they were eating. That is what the characters were talking about. I think they should have kept the orginal name of the soda in that case.

Some shit can't be translated to English cause there is no actual translation. I think thats the issue so they just chose the most similar American drink.

Like there's no Korean word for yoo-hoo. It's not an actual english word it's just a thing.
 
I watch everything with subtitles on even shows in English. Sometimes its easier to read dialog and understand quicker than listening. Weird but it's effective.
Naw, subtitles distract me because I begin to read them instead of just listening. Speaking bout the English speaking flicks.

If I'm watching a non-english movie/show and it only has subtitles, I have no issues. Only downside is I can't eat watching those kinds of movies cause I always miss some of the subtitles if I look away to eat.

But if it is a brand name, it doesnt need a translation. At least I think.

But I get it. Saying 7 up let's most know the characters are drinking a lemon lime flavored soda.
 
Same. It also helps with accents, mumbling, etc.

I only do dub when it's an animated because I can't watch something and the lip movement not match the audio
This is where I'm different. I actually hate English dub animes. It is something about the Japanese, Chinese, and etc orginal voices. Their voices makes the show more animated if that makes sense. Like their voices really make a scene funny if they are doing a funny scene. Animes are the only shows I prefer subtitles with orginal voices.
