Next up in Marvel’s
lineup of “Let’s try to outdo the last movie we made” is Benedict Cumberpatch’s
facial hair growing, cape wearing, Doctor Mister, I mean Strange (watch the
movie to understand reference). One of Marvel’s lesser known cape wearing weirdo
who is going through that magic phase of high school, the movie does the origin
story justice. The story goes top doctor, car accident, bald master, evil
villains, catch phrase internet will lose itself over for next few months, set
up next movie, end. So kind of iron man but with magic. The visuals of this
movie are like tripping acid without the chance of prison, not that I know what
tripping acid is like, or why there is a dragon in my living room. It is one of
the movie I strongly recommend going to see in IMAX if you can. There was some
complaining around casting the Ancient One, who is usually seen as an elderly
Asian version of Dumbledore, being cast by Tilda Swinton which didn’t see like
an issue to me, nor the fact that Baron Mordo was now a black man. It sucks
that stupid shit like the fact the casting actors of different colour stops people
enjoying the movie. Having the Tibet thing was a touchy issue because the land
of the pandas (not Pandria, but China) have that own thing of this is ours. So
you might want to keep a population of 1,393,783,836 people who might watch your
movie, happy. So in this case “China I’ve come to bargin”…..
