Actually our Malaysia D+H got Deadpool 1 and 2, as well as Logan. Just that I have found the following:
- do not have English subtitles
- playback speed is sped up (like 1.05x) no idea why- shortened runtime due to suspected censorship
It seems to me that they just take the existing video copy of movies that is meant to be shown on TV channels like Fox Movies?
As you mentioned playback speed sped up, it seems to me that the movie is being speed up from 24fps into 25fps from their end (There's nothing we can do about it).
fps = frames per second You can Google more about "
PAL speedup" if you interested to know why TV broadcasters do that to 24fps content. Do note that PAL speedup is only used for 24fps content.
It is where the 24fps content is being sped up by exactly 4% to matches the PAL TV standard frame rate of 25fps, and also you'll realise the audio pitch is slightly higher than the original as a result of the speedup.
That also explains part of the reason why the movie runtime is shorter than original. Another reason, may be due to some scenes have been cut/censored.
I don't know why didn't they use the original 24fps copy of the movie to put it on Disney+ Hotstar....
Instead, they use back the already sped-up 25fps version of the movie and let Disney+ Hotstar viewers watch that version instead
And as of why no English subtitles... Because Fox Movies channels don't even offer English subtitles to viewers?
