That's an unfair comparison. There are so few roles for people of color compared to white parts, of course making some space for non-white actors is seen as good where as taking one of the few parts specifically designated for an Asian actor is seen as bad.
The Doctor Strange situation is complicated, but your

What politics? You mean race? Well race is inherently political now and they were having a conversation about race. You figure it out.

Fully in favor of this.

The Doctor Strange casting was just such a tricky mess. Unlike a lot of very real cases of whitewashing there were so many points of contention to avoid in so many directions. Whatever had been done would have felt like a wrong choice in some regard. And I'm not really in favor of Marvel's choice to just default to

I think she's one of the patron saints here, so it's almost a requirement.

If they cast the rest of the wives from Fury Road and just make it a proper AU solo Furiosa movie.

Like barely. It's pretty ridiculous. I think time has worked on adding extra intensity settings to her steely gaze instead.

My favorite part is Chris Pratt's face throughout. You can so very nearly hear him just repeating "shut up shut up shut up" over in his head. The man lived in Hawaii for a long time, so I'm guessing he didn't find the story too hilarious either.

The title is totally bonkers, but the teaser makes it look like a lot of fun! It grabbed me more than most of the trailers out for next summer stuff already anyway.
Also very here for Charlize/Cipher's Gone in 60 Seconds hair.

I think it's her real hair braided and twisted in with extensions from what I can see. It looks like they're going for… not dreads exactly, but like tight twirls of hair mixed in with braids. Kind of Angie in Gone in 60 Seconds-ish. Thought it looked pretty good

I mean technically

I'm hoping this doesn't turn out to be yet another movie where the angle is a woman's freewheelin' times are just a frivolous build up to her finally discovering her true and ultimately fulfilling destiny in life; to be a mother. Because I am so sick of that narrative it's unreal!

Anne Hathaway as Catwoman is the one solo anti-heroine movie DC should be pursuing!

I read it as Fast and Furious too, for a second. Now I'm thinking about how amazing seeing her and Theron as a supervillain duo (girlfriends?) in 8 would have been and I'm sad it's not the case.

Agreed! I really dislike children and boy does it ever turn me off an actor to hear them brashly babble or gush on and on about motherhood (or fatherhood). I have the upmost respect and thankfulness to the actors who have them and keep the chatter about them to the odd cute anecdote or insightful observation. The ones

Exactly! What could go wrong in merging those two communities!

When we're talking about the Jezebel comments section, that doesn't surprise me one bit. He's catty, he's mean, he's snide. He's their Regina George.

I have only ever seen asshole behavior and the worst offending articles from him. How they let a guy get away with writing that kind of stuff about women is beyond me.

I have had some introspection reading recent Jezebel where I wondered what kind of person I must have been to enjoy this once upon a time. But like you said, I think it's more a case of the content having taken a steep decline in basic respect and decency and not the fact that I've achieved feminist sainthood and
