Movie dialogue has gotten more difficult to understand

I used to live in Denmark but never understood Danish, spoken or written, very well (at all).

In movie theaters, they'd show English language films with Danish subtitles and, often, I'd miss a comic piece of dialog because the subtitles let the audience in on the joke before I could hear it spoken, and then the audience laughter would drown out any chance I had of hearing the joke.

It was a bit frustrating.

I’ve had similar issues, but it’s when they subtitle the aliens talking and then I have no idea what they’re saying.
