Should movie theaters show closed captions you need glasses to hide?


Maybe these could be low-tech glasses similar to those used for 3d movies?

Given the trend of everyone putting text on every social media video and people leaving captions on streaming services all the time, perhaps it will just be a standard in another decade or two.

Netflix is already adapting to this trend.

If people are going to be forced to wear special glasses, wouldn't it be better to show captions in a way that you need special glasses to see, rather than to hide? If I had to wear special glasses to see movies, I'd be much less likely to go see movies.
