Amph "You think you're the only superhero in the world?" - The Marvel Cinematic Universe

"Myuh-myuh!"

 

MEW MEW!

 

BC will probably do a great job but I had kept holding out for Hugh Laurie personally.

 

He's the big bad, he should be strong enough to not just take on Thor, but also threaten the world.

 

No

 

i couldn't take him seriously as a villain because he had the whole 'evil george washington leading an army of teletubbies' thing going on.

 

It's kinda silly to talk about a brain villain in a Thor movie because the main focus was not some villain's cunning plan, but the big battle and the myth. Especially he was not human but the leader of a powerful alien race. Joker can fight Batman.

Brain villain=Cunning Villain, not weak villain

Yes.

 

It's really not some really interesting plan, if the plan could not raise much interest, then it's not wise to set him as some brain villain.

Even real good brain villains could be very powerful, such as Sidious and Saruman, AKA Sauron if we count the Hobbit trilogy in.

 

I'm not sure whether it's worthwhile arguing with slowpokeking over the subject of intelligence tbh.

 

No it's not, so the plan was quite generic with little surprise, which was not enough for a "pure brain villain".

 

It's not quite as ridiculous as it sounds: though Doctor Strange has been depicted with western features throughout almost all of his appearances, in his first three stories he was drawn with an arguably Asian look to his eyes:


By his fourth story, his origin story, he was depicted with much more traditionally western features, and he's been drawn that way ever since.

So there might well have been some whitewashing, but if so it happened back in the 60's.

 

Yep, the character's origin has him born in Nebraska to Eugene and Beverly Strange. So he has been Caucasian since his fourth story.

 

I'm loving that Benedict is Strange, some of the comments I've read are just ridiculous. Some people on Twitter and Facebook is just, well, I just understand why I don't go there. I suppose it is the internet in general that can be awful, I understand not liking something but some people...

 

Their tune will change when the first trailer hits.

 

Yeah. As much as I hate Cumberbutches for the part, the movie is going to probably be amazing all the same. It just won't be the traditional way I was expecting it, but it'll work.

 

Yeah, after all, Marvel has yet to fail.

 

I hope they get someone better to play Wong. Like, dunno, ADOLF HITLER.

 

Now that would be whitewashing.

 

Supposedly Al Pacino has met with Feige.
