Why do polarized lenses cancel each other out?

213 views

According to the usual explanation, polarized lenses work by only allowing light with a specific kind of polarization. It’s a simple explanation, and makes a lot of sense.

Why is it then, than when I look at a screen with two polarized glasses, one at an angle from the other, the image does not dim in the overlapping region, when it does in the glass closer to my eyes?

ELI5 would probably delete this answer but I think one or both of your polarizer lens is fake.
