Can we stop with this subtle EU propaganda slop? I LIVE in an EU country and I have the exact same problem with modern movies. This has nothing to do with who gets to make the laws, there are only two reasons why everything needs subtitles now:

• Because of advancements in microphone technologies, actors don’t need to speak as clearly and are getting lazy as a result.
• Movies producers are assholes who think that everyone has a 50000$ surround sound home theater system and master the movie soundtracks accordingly – which makes explosions and action scenes sound WAY TOO LOUD on normal people sound systems.
