Criticising people for watching dubs is snobbish. I'll reiterate my original point. People should watch what they want however they want.

Why is this so hard to understand?
There is a cultural difference here, Lord of Fire comes from a country in which dubbing is only used for children shows and shows aimed at teenagers/adults are subbed. From his perspective people who prefer dubs are clinging to their childhood.

Also I'm curious to know why is it harder to read subtitles on television than on a computer screen?

The spoken language matching the setting makes the setting seem more authentic but that doesn't make it better.
Although I wouldn't mind seeing the Gladiator in Vulgar Latin.
