When Wil’s mother moves in with her and complains about American food, a poor subtitle will say: “This tastes bad.” A great subtitle captures the snide, motherly tone: “What is this bland white nonsense?” Similarly, the elderly aunties’ gossip in Mandarin—filled with double entendres about Wil’s love life—is completely lost in subpar subtitle files. Better subtitles treat their dialogue like the comedy gold it is.
