Watch more closely. Almost every studio film these days has a three-act structure, regardless of who you think the focus is on. The only exception that easily comes to mind is 21 Grams, which was intentionally scrambled to eschew any kind of structure.

Not really, though. They cast a great nonwhite actor as Mordo (who in the comic was essentially an angry white middle manager with a receding hairline), and that character will feature heavily in other films/sequels.

Assuming it matched the content and tone of Stan Lee's run, racism would have certainly been a valid complaint in that instance.

The comic was NOT culturally accurate. In the early going, it was actually quite racist. And I say that as someone who loves the character. If you're looking for someone to blame, look no further than Stan Lee, who was a pathologically lazy writer.

Because, as a devoted fan of the source material, I can tell you the Ancient One's depiction has always been super uncomfortable (as was Dr. Strange's when he briefly appeared Asian at the beginning of the story). The Ancient One rarely got to be a full fledged character so much as he was a lot of misguided cultural…

Agreed. I just remembered, though, they already used him in the MCU as Kingpin's dad. :( Wasted opportunity.

No animals were harmed in the production of this username.

The spell calls upon the "Hoary" Hosts of Hoggoth.

Meh, it's debateable. The character is pretty clearly an "ugly American" in the various versions of his origin stories, and he was a product of a very Ayn Randian type of thinking. Not to say there aren't British people that fit the stereotype, but I think mine typically fit that particular kind of douchebaggery.

I thought both were separately derived from the Jewish "Avi."

Actually, why didn't we cast Herc as Doctor Strange? I have no idea whether it would have worked, but it would undoubtedly have been super entertaining.

What most non-Americans consider an "American" accent is really a Midwest American accent. There's some, particularly up in the Northeast and along the Eastern seaboard, that sound suspiciously British. Even some weird ones in the mountains of the deep South sound closer to English than "American."

"Astro projection" is the way polite society refers to George Jetson's bestiality.

Thank Stan Lee and his weird boner for alliterative names.

"Trippy visuals but the story needs more time to get off the ground" is almost exactly how I would describe the first few arcs of the Doctor Strange comic. In fact, I'd even go so far as to say that Stan Lee's writing on those arcs was execrable compared to similar contemporary titles, like DC's Deadman. Nonetheless,…

"East-meets-West chop-socky"?

Was that a zombie movie? I actually haven't seen it yet.

So, that's a "no."

Ramin Djawadi is obviously a robot! Otherwise this show is a complete sham!

Land of the Dead did it long before either of those turds.
