They merged into other genres like fantasy and science fiction. Now people who want the drama still get it, but they also get people who specifically want those genres one way or another.

Edit: At least when it comes to network TV shows and some streaming shows. There are still also some streaming or cable teen dramas that aren't fantasy or science fiction. Euphoria is an obvious example.

> They also have instructions about the maximum number of words/characters (I don't remember which) a translator can use in a single line.

This is a standard across subtitles in general, not a Netflix-specific thing.

> I put on English sub and dub cause I watch it in the background but when I look up the difference is intense

Oh, then in that case it's intentional. If the sub and dub are different, then they aren't supposed to match up; they're separate translations.

I've never had a problem with them. The only issue I've seen is that occasionally they have some glitch where symbols or extra letters show up on the left and right of the text, but it doesn't affect the actual readability of anything.

I watched Edgerunners with the subtitles and they were completely fine except for episode 3 for some reason. I don't know what happened to them on that episode, but they were bizarrely bad on that one.

> So yeah next question which is closer to the original dialogue, sub or dub?

Subs are the most literal translation and dubs try to also account for mouth movements. (That being said, Netflix sometimes has two subtitle tracks available - one which is that "most literal translation" and one which is closed captions for the dub.)

Nah, that's probably still possible; there's been talk about it, and there was a new comic series last year, which would arguably qualify as having been a reboot/revival itself, anyway.

> This is going to sound like a super dorky complaint, but I'm disappointed that they won't be adapting the comics.

Technically we don't know what the theatrical animated movies are going to do. The first one is going to be focused on the main Avatar characters again and be directly canon to the original show, so it's possible that they might take something from the comics. (But it's also still possible that they might do something else entirely; an adaptation of anything from the comics would have to pretty much assume the audience had seen the show, which Paramount might not want to do for a theatrical movie.)

I do agree that The Search would make the most sense to adapt if they were only going to do one since it most directly addresses something left hanging in the show, but I thought they were all great.

I've only once ever had a bad experience with other people in a movie theater, and I used to go to movies practically every week. (I don't go as much now, but it has nothing to do with the actual experience or anything; there's just more to watch at home and stuff usually comes out to watch at home faster than it used to.) That experience was at The Secret Life of Pets, and there was a group of (presumably) teenagers that just kept being obnoxious throughout the whole movie.

I honestly think that if the Velma show had the exact same script but used classic designs (aside from possibly being made to a look a bit younger so high school makes sense) and used the regular voice actors, it would come across more like a parody rather than a different show that's Scooby-Doo in name only and would be getting somewhat better reception.

Eh...I'd probably rate The Room like an 8/10 myself. "So bad it's good" still counts as good in my opinion even if it was unintentional.

At least you can actually think for yourself. I'd be willing to bet most people spreading negativity about it haven't even seen it, or at very least went into it expecting to hate it and were intentionally looking out for all the worst aspects they could.

> Wow just looked at imdb. 1.9/10 at the moment.

I mean, a score that low always means it's been vote-brigaded, so you can't tell what an actual "real" score would have been. I don't think it's even possible for something to organically score that low.

The Santa Clauses show is actually good. And some of the Star Wars and Marvel stuff is good. And Monsters at Work, Chip and Dale: Park Life, and basically all the animated shorts miniseries they've done are also good. (If anything the biggest issue with the latter is just how little content there is for them.)

It's unironically the best Star Trek show running right now.

The White Lotus is arguably not a "streaming show" in this sense in the first place since it technically originates on the HBO network.

What do you consider "mainstream marketing"? Based on what I'd consider it to be, probably less than 5% of streaming shows in general get mainstream marketing.

Netflix is the only service that I do keep all the time; they have far more originals coming out all the time that I'm interested than any other service.

I really think anyone who asks stuff about a show's score needs to specify "music score" in their titles; these posts always get downvoted for no reason, and all I can think is that people assumed it meant review-type "score" without actually looking at the text of the post.

And they'll probably be down by tomorrow due to this post drawing attention to it...

It's rare that I see any instance where the way it's used doesn't work. In fact, offhand I can't even think of a single specific instance of it not working.

But on another note, the best fourth-wall breaking I've ever seen in anything TV or otherwise was in the Minds arc of the Cerebus comics. It's done in such a way that it's basically a culmination of everything that came before, feels like it couldn't have been done a different way, and actually matters to the storyline, too. (The creator definitely went off the deep end for a while in the Reads arc right before Minds, but it didn't impact how well Minds worked.)

Nothing. There's no reason to intentionally cancel something that other people like, or at least not without somehow having a guarantee as to what the replacement would be such that you would know it would get replaced with something better.

Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.

...and on the next streaming-related post, the top comment will be someone complaining about shows getting cancelled.

Seriously, the predominant views on this subreddit are bafflingly contradictory; people simultaneously complain about too many quality shows being cancelled, while also espousing the idea that reducing quantity is a good thing because it means they'll focus more on "quality" (while ignoring that their definition of "quality" is obviously not the one the services are using given the shows that are being cancelled - they're effectively advocating for the services to cancel more of the shows that they do like).

In reality, reducing quantity won't increase the quality of content at all; it will actually decrease the number of quality shows by anyone's definition and will reduce the number of niches that are getting any content at all.
