    Bad subtitles.

    When subtitles are mistimed and appear on screen slightly too soon or slightly too late, or when I'm watching sth in English with English subtitles and the wording of the subs is different than the spoken lines, that gets really irritating really quickly.

    Subtitles are one of those things that you don't notice when done well.

      HBO Max subtitles on anything that wasn’t produced by HBO are legitimately horrendous to the point that I would just pirate the media because the opensubs were better

      I really wish subtitlers would go the extra mile and try and avoid putting a punchline out too quickly.

        Or revealing the name of the killer in a whodunit. I can't even remember the name of the movie anymore but I will always remember how they put the masked killer's name in the closed captioning from the very first scene.
