Tibet used to be it's own country now it is part of China. But their is still tension with OG Tibetan's wanting independence.
Lol I was sitting here debating if I should respond or trying to see if he was trolling as it happens In these marvel/dc threads

Yeah
:what:

The problem with that logic is Celtic monks wear plain robes.

The shyt you posted is green and gold like she's a stripper on St. Patrick's Day.

I dunno what he's doing in this pic :jbhmm: but this is a Dara Molloy, a modern Celtic monk. Does his outfit look closer to what you posted, or what she's wearing in Dr. Strange?

If they didn't want to make the Ancient One Tibetan, why didn't they just make him Chinese then? It's not like there aren't any high snowy mountains in China itself.:mindblown:

This would be a 30 page thread filled with faux outrage if fox,Sony or wb had done this. Garaunteed.

The only faux outrage I see is you bytching about some imaginary 'I bet if this was...' scenario. I guarantee you that people would be outraged if Boko Haram did this too, but Boko Haram didn't do this, so shut the fukk up about your dumb-ass "guarantee".

Ol' 'Why is this two and a half hour old thread not 30 pages yet? Must be Marvel bias!' ass motherfukker.:camby:

Why are you fixated on monks? The Ancient One isn't a monk. Tilda Swinton also isn't wearing anything close to any of the robes you keep posting pics of...she is wearing something that looks like an Asian inspired Hillary Clinton pant suit.
And that Celtic gear was what showed up when I did a search of "celtic sorceress".

Didn't they film in Nepal? Why not make The Ancient One Nepalese? Or how about making the temple the Ancient One lives in be based in some mystical dimension instead of a real place?
If making the Ancient One white is no biggie then why are they acting like they were chained to the whole Tibet aspect of the characters origin?

That's what I don't understand either, but then again Marvel lost me when they said in this interpretation there have been multiple "Ancient Ones" in history. The whole point of the "one" being "ancient" is that he's been around since ancient times. That's what makes him ancient. They really wrote themselves into a corner trying too hard to be PC.

The Ancient One founded an entire order of monks....what are you talking about? :what:

Why would you nitpick the difference between a white Celtic robe....and a white "Asian inspired pant suit"....but ignore the fact that the two are a hell of a lot closer than the green and gold Halloween costume you posted? shyt makes zero sense.

Then to make things worse your first post had a gi in it. She's not wearing a gi. It looks nothing like a gi.

This thread is killing me. "Hey guys look at how culturally insensitive Marvel is....if she's Celtic she should be dressed like a leprechaun!"

Why are we even talking about her clothes and not the fact that she's bald like a Buddhist monk? I mean, besides a Celtic Chi Master is she also supposed to be neo-Nazi or something?:russ:
