And the sound engineer people (not sure if that's their official title) are* suuuuper condescending about it. "Well it's your fault for not having a professional setup mixed the same as a theater."
Edit: *Fixed a typo.
Thanks for the replies people, I'm learning a lot! I think another commenter referenced the same article I'm half-remembering (as you do) where some professional audio people commented on this issue. They said movies are designed for the theater and nothing else with no intention/interest in fixing it. IIRC (and I probably don't) this is likely due to directors or studios not wanting to pay for a home version or having a specific vision they would rather not compromise. Even though the effect of not compromising is..well, the posted comic.
Re-recording mixer would be more accurate. Engineer is more a music thing I think. Regardless, designer Mark Mangini knows this is an issue for example due to theater mixes being a priority over a basic stereo mix. This is an issue in action films (I can't imagine a drama would have this huge an issue, less dynamics) and as long as the mixers have to prioritize the Atmos theater mixes n shit and the studio doesn't want to pay for a great home stereo mix, the dynamics issue will continue
