I stand by the opinion that dubs are closer to the creator intention provided that they're professionally done, which many if not most are done in that fashion nowadays. Unless an original piece of work has subtitles, the intent to keep the audience's eyes on the screen and not reading is maintained by the dub and not by the sub. Plus, subbing in original works is often done to create a sense of other for specific moments or characters, which isn't conveyed when everything is subbed.

And I don't get claims of how the originals are better acting. Maybe, but the point is you can't tell unless you actually speak the language. Weebs assuming that everything they hear in Japanese is great acting is laughable.

Sure, there are translation issues sometimes (as also happens in subs), and some voice acting has misses (as also happens in originals), but we're not in the 80's anymore. Dubbing is a major industry nowadays, the quality of the work has never been higher on average overall.
