Talking about Dr Strange's Character Arc in his first movie, hinging on the wonderful scene where the Ancient One tells Stephen "It's Not About You".

Best scene to one of my favorite superhero movies.

Doctor Strange Is Good Because He Sucks - Detail Diatribe

"Doctor Strange" is one of the MCU's best movies because it actually bothers to show what Heroism means. Stephen Strange's arc is so compelling because it's so fraught —ultimately, he's such a Good character because the man straight up *Sucks*. Strange is so utterly insufferable, and it works fantastically. (I originally had edited in footage of the actual scene in question but Disney smote my first draft with the fury of 1000 claims — sooooooo I replaced it with still screenshots instead. That's just the game you play when you use movie footage, and this is why we mostly do the powerpoint slides for Detail Diatribes.) Our content is intended for teenage audiences and up.

I absolutely love these discussions you made. They're a great way to kill an hour or so. I know you're probably not looking into topics for these videos, but if you need an idea or two, I actually did a report in high school about the different portrayals of myths and legends in the media, such as the Twelve Labors of Heracles or the Journey to the West. It might make for a good video.

The phrase itself carries many contexts and interpretations. Significantly as it is intended in this story, a valuable lesson, not just for those in a Doctor Strange arch. Those learning about the bigger picture, grand cosmic scheme of it all. Mind you, being one with the Universe as we interact with everything and one. Also keep in mind the paradox of a lesson for routinely selfless persons to be a healthier version with greater wisdom and compassion for the self or break a millenniums old 'glass ceiling' or perceived curse of martyr. Opportunities or demands for others to grow or evolve. From 'you' or 'I' to 'WE'. Fascinating discussions, as usual. Thank you.
