perhaps you’re unfamiliar with Olivier’s Othello

Also: It would be really nice if you didn’t cynically assume that being an MCU fan (which I am with qualification) makes you a complete fucking idiot who thinks ‘Chinese’ and ‘Celtic’ are interchangable because they begin with the same letter.

But to say "they probably came from Asia" is a little broad of a statement and misleading...

As much as I love the idea of Tilda Swinton as a reimagined Celtic Ancient One on paper, she has a shaved head, is wearing obviously Chinese-influenced garb, lives in what appears to resemble a Buddhist temple, practices kung fu, and spouts pseudo-koans.
