Now we just need to normalize audio between action sequences and normal conversation, that shit hella disproportionate a lot of the time.

This is why I watch with subtitles. I set the volume based on action scenes, and they are practically whispering in conversations.

I mean my audio system pulls the dialog into the center channel and puts everything else into the surround so it's easier to pick out.

I am shit at picking out a voice in a crowd, so that helps me immeasurably.

This should be a nice option, not a necessity. Sound mixing should be done correctly to adapt to the average stereo system with an average sound level by default. Then people who can afford a better setup and an individual house can opt for the mixing that fits their situation.
