Like, there’s a lot of high-brow thinking in the movie industry where stuff is mixed for movie theaters. You know, theaters that have good surround speaker setups, but also turn the volume way too loud. It’s “as its meant to be experienced” if you ask the Hollywood producers. I think Netflix and more small-screen oriented producers are better about this, where even surround mixes are much more reasonable.

Alot of it is… pretentiousness?

I’ve made similar experiences in movie theatres. And streaming services continuously disappoint on that front too.
