Under the guidance of Skopos Theory, this paper conducts a comparative analysis of the subtitle translation of Hellboy as presented on two video platforms in China, Tencent Video and Youku Video, focusing on the translation strategies employed for character nicknames and the choice between literal and free translation in dialogue. The findings indicate that, in the context of superhero films, free translation tends to perform better for character nicknames, while a balanced approach that considers both contextual factors and audience reception excels when coping with ordinary dialogues. It also argues that optimizing subtitle translation necessitates a dynamic equilibrium between fidelity to the source text and adaptability to the target audience, with translation strategies tailored to the specific text type.
