Well now I need my day to go fast so I get home for a watch along with Shan 🙂

I had forgotten which MCU movie was next.

Around this time there was theory going on that the location of each infinity stone were hidden in the name THANOS. Tesseract, H?, Aether(that's how its spelled) Neckless(Dr strange) Orb(guardians of the galaxy) Scepter (Loki). I don't know if this was a coincidence or the MCU did this on purpose. The only stone left is the H.

Doctor Strange is my favourite super hero. I always had a thing for magic and really smart wizards all my life. I even play one in a D&D group. There are still more great actors to come. I have a couple in mind I can’t wait for your reaction too. You know the MCU is doing something right when a parade of actors are willing to sign on project after project. Do you think you will try get end game dropped and done in December? That is the best month of the year for ad rates. The Christmas ad push. PS, I have a big crush on my fellow Canadian Racheal McAdams.

You asked about Tilda Swinton taking the role of an ancient mystic asian character. There was a backlash but not about Asian representation, the internet idiots were upset that a male role was being given to a woman (The Ghostbusters reboot happened around the same time and there was a lot of internet warriors complaining of favoring women in certain roles). Marvel had given the role to woman because they wanted to avoid the stereotyped mystereous, asian, Fu Manchu archetype and allow a woman a more prominent role. Marvel had been getting more vocal negative feedback about the lack of female heroes at the time and Captain Marvel and Black Widow solo movies (which both rock) were some way off. They had also already been setting up more roles for POC with Nick Fury, Rhodie, Wong, Mordo and the imminent Black Panther movie. In recent years there has been the Shang Chi movie which really embraced Asian culture. Marvel listens, but it's plans are so far in advance it can't do things very quickly.

I think the casting works well. Yes in Shang Chi they found a way to subvert and comment on Stereotypical Asian characters. But in this case the character of the Ancient One is designed to die to spur on our hero. So who should play them? A white man would have been dull casting whilst an asian or female casting would be called out for either whitewashing or fridging. The smart choice Marvel made was to promote Wong so the loss of the Ancient One could ultimately allow for a more fulfilling and representative character to step forward. Of course various different factions still complained...

Loved this movie. I cosplay Dr. Strange a lot and love it. The reason he does not fix his hands is because he would be tempted to get his old life back again and the world would suffer his loss.
