Original language with subs. Dubbing is like watching a video game cutscene with the wrong voice actor.

Dubbing in my language means I don't have to work to understand it. That's worth something.

Depends on the film honestly. Ghibli dubs slap, but most European dramas need subtitles.

Subtitles preserve artistic intent. Once you adjust for the first 10 minutes, dubbing feels unnatural.

I'm lazy and dubbing lets me multitask, but I know I'm missing stuff.

Subtitles every time. Dubbed voices destroy the original performance and the actor's actual emotions.
