I once read someone blaming directors/producers mixing movies with theaters or full-on perfectly-tuned surround setups in mind instead of the 2.0 TV speakers and earbuds most people actually use, and I don't know how true it actually is but it sure makes intuitive sense.
Then again, I still have to wear my ANC earbuds in the theater without them playing anything because the score and sound effects are so loud.
I have a perfectly tuned surround setup and they still sound shit. So many sound directors just suck at their jobs nowadays.
Quite true in my experience. A 5.1 or 7.1 surround system with a good center speaker will make most issues go away.
Even just 3 speakers in front of you with a center one that is usually for voice should fix it (like some soundbars).
If you have only two but still want something better than the default I can recommend: https://www.fxsound.com/ formerly known as DFX. It's now free.
