Nobody is the target audience when you're aiming for everybody...

But... they're aiming for every language not every person surely. Do you think that only English speakers want to watch good fantasy TV?

I wouldn't be so sure. There's a reason why Big Dumb Action movies get cranked out while comedies have largely died: they do well in the foreign market. This is basic least-common-denominator thinking that leads to bland schlock.

Based solely on my anecdotal data it seems like many comedies where I live are local (aka not from the US).
Some of them do well others don't but they are certainly there.
Is there a similar set of movies in the US (aimed at the national/state level market) or is all the money sucked up by productions for the international market.

I don't know what Amazon pays for subtitles but I could probably get it done for around $50/language. Hardly a relevant metric

I seriously doubt that.

for 50$, I mean they could use "google translate". Seriously though localizations and translations are a serious business and important. Not everyone speaks (or understand movie/tv show) English.
