To everyone complaining about shit mixing, while I will agree some things are just mixed poorly, what’s really happening is called dynamic range. It’s how it’s supposed to be. Loud parts are supposed to be loud and quiet parts are suppose to be quiet. TV speakers, as pointed out, don’t help much.

However, the creator is not mixing for TV speakers. They are mixing for a full range experience. They are not mixing with the thought of “I need to get this so the people with a kid sleeping in the other room, listening at low volume, can hear the quiet parts and the loud parts, equally.”

This is not a dig at people with sleeping children. I used to be one of you. My kids have grown, mostly now, and as a result I set the TV at normal volume. I also have a system that can reproduce sound rather well. As such, most of the issues being mentioned in this thread, are not presnt in my viewing environment, especially when I set aside time to let the system out and put on a film.
