Is anyone else angered by all the Netflix originals that are foreign?


I'm seeing more and more of them since Netflix raised their prices. I'm paying almost $20 a month for this now.

The movie will be advertised with an "N" to make it Netflix exclusive. You go to watch, and the mouths won't be moving to the words.

I just can't. I'd rather see subtitles. And the English voice actors always suck balls.

I don't know about Netflix, but in regards to anime, there are some good decent dubs. But bad dubs can make a good show bad.

Even fan dub abridges have higher quality voices than some of the actual dubs.

I'm still annoyed that Pompidou never got a second season, and then ended up on Amazon somehow.

The "Americanized" versions aren't much better. Look at that shitty Death Note adaptation with "Light Turner."

I watch shows in their original language with Japanese subtitles. Dark was really good. I assume American Netflix also lets you watch these in their original language with subtitles, so you should do that. I agree dubbing is annoying.

BTW, I will admit some of those movies are actually kind of good.

I just wish there would be subtitles instead of voiceovers.

Check for that option. I have never not seen the option to use original voices.

You do realise that Netflix is available in other countries, right? Its not all about English speaking countries, despite what you may have been raised to believe.

I don't understand this.

I'm watching the "N film" The Swarm now. I see zero options to use original voices. It just lets me play it.

I'm not sure what language they should even be speaking. They look Italian so maybe that. But it has voiceovers.

Well I'm in America so I'm paying for American content as far as I'm concerned.

Well I think all Netflix originals should be in English.

Most of the top movies in the world are in English. And the world eats them up. Why change now other than to get cheaper rates from foreign film makers.

It's like Dell outsourcing their customer service to India.

When I am watching something it defaults to Japanese subtitles and whatever language it was originally (I live in Japan), but there are audio options on every show. In those options it shows various languages and subtitle options. However I am positive these are region restricted. Like I will watch an American show and my subtitle options will be Japanese, Brazilian Portuguese, and Chinese. There is no way those are the options in America. It also has Japanese dubs sometimes.

You can't be more wrong.
While America gave a good tribute to cinema, most of the better movies ever are in French or Italian.

America is better at making money than art.

I just checked the movie you talked about on my Netflix.



Says it is originally French (default language), also offers English, Brazilian Portuguese, and French with scene descriptions (for blind individuals). Subtitles are tons of languages. Way more than normal.

If a movie looks good to watch, I don't give a fuck what language it's spoken in so long as I can read the subtitles.

My only wish is that the would put a note or something in the description if it's a lot of subtitles. Not because I don't want to hear or read subtitles, I love subtitles, but because I want to know if it's a show I can have on in the background and listen to all English because I'm not actually paying attention to the screen and won't read.

Oh God dubbed with no sub options for life action stuff?

I was about to lay into you for being xenophobic but good God that Is a solid reason for being irritated. Would be really distracting especially if they don't put much care into the d ubbing. Live action films should always be subbed not dubbed.
