The other guy know what they're talking about.

Local subtitle tracks to overlap with physical prop text are a thing, too, but not the same. Distributors do have "clean" versions of movies for local distributors and localization houses to recreate and overlay titles and text inserts. It is not that unusual for a TV station (and I presume a streamer, although I've never been behind the scenes in one) to get that clean version from the distributor when they purchase a piece of media.

Whether those will take the time to recreate the subtitles themselves, request a localized version or a version with the baked original text is up to how much the people in charge care or how much time they have to care.

IF that is the frame you get it sure looks like a blank background for that purpose. If you cut content for other reasons you... you know, cut the content. You don't photoshop text out and leave the background that's both more conspicuous and more work. I tried to verify, but Robin Hood 2010 is not part of Prime in my region and I'm not paying for Robin Hood 2010 for this (or most other reasons).

I would delete this one. It's almost certainly misinfo.
