Lol, no, it’s not because your TV sucks, but because almost none of us are watching on a 5.1 or higher channel system and the audio mix was never changed from their cinema release
Anything I watch in my TV that sounds awful sounds just fine out of my 5.1 PC because I suddenly have access to more channels where the audio is actually out (dialogue looooves to get mixed to center only for some reason)
This may be for some cases. But I’ve also had the exact same experience in the theater except I can’t change the volume. All the fun of not understanding mixed with the thrill of losing your hearing.
I’m pretty sure a lot of it is simply because that sort of mixing style is pretty fashionable at the moment. If you mix movies like they were mixed in the 90s and 2000’s (i.e. very clear and distinct dialog) then they don’t ‘sound’ modern.
Even in cinemas the mix is awful and almost inaudible half the time. Extreme example but I saw Tenet at the cinema and had to guess at half of the dialog because Christopher Nolan is especially and increasingly fond of this.

It’s not like the audio mix isn’t shit in theatres anyways.
