About that, why do Germans dub so much? Here we only dub children’s shows. Netflix has tried to dub a few normal movies and they got mocked by pretty much everyone.

I guess the immigrants appreciated it though. It’s probably a good way to learn our language.

I suppose there are two related reasons:

older people (but also quite a lot of young people) don’t speak english that well, they would have problems understanding and dubbing has been done for so long that they expect it

there are enough german speakers that it’s worth dubbing instead of just subtitling
