Well, I grew up with subs, an I can actually read the subs and look at the pretty pictures at the same time. You probably would too if you came from a place where subs are the norm.

You're also missing the point. Just because you CAN do something doesn't mean that that's the only acceptable way or the best way.

Did you miss the "My shows are not meant to be read" quote? No matter how much practice you get at it it's not going to be an identical experience.

Too bad I'm not French then, I guess?

Not an identical experience, maybe, but as someone who grew up watching things with subtitles and is still more comfortable with them than without even if I do understand the language, I can definitely certify that the experience is not that of "reading the show". You don't notice that you're reading; you're just understanding and following along with the action. Someone who says "My shows are not meant to be read" strikes me as someone who doesn't do a lot of watching things with subtitles.

It's never going to be exactly the same experience if it's being translated into a different language at all, no, but hearing the original actors' voices and emoting is inevitably going to be closer to the original than a dub that replaces the actors altogether. The question is mostly whether having the subtitles is going to distract you or make the story feel distant and unreal, and if you've watched more things with subtitles than without in your life, that's not going to happen - this is just how you're used to consuming fiction.
