My eight year old followed along for a three hour stage production of Spirited Away in Japanese, with subtitles projected above. So I guess technically supertitles. Point being, kids can handle subs just fine.
Ah, but how about a dubbed version spoken by American robot voices, where the foreign actors uncannily mouth American words? Wouldn’t that be a joy and a gift to the world? Eventually we might even be able to replace all foreign actors with a young Harrison Ford.
I have never understood why translation movies and tv shows would be so great, it works for kids shows, but adults can deal woth subtitles
It depends on how actively I want to watch it. I have ADHD and usually do something else at the same time.

A dubbed version of something is basically a warped parody of it. But dub fans get really defensive about it.

Subtitles or die, agree!!!
