Official DOCTOR STRANGE Thread | Multiverse fukkery incoming

I think Marvel did this out of necessity. If they had the rights to Spider-man and the X-Men properties believe me we would be on our 8 Wolverine and Spider-man films. They were forced to be creative and it paid off.

This should be a good movie. Can't wait

Ironically it's the same thing they did with the original Avengers comic book, which was created for the sole purpose of bringing more attention to and boosting the popularity of B/C-class Marvel characters. Without the movie rights to their A-list properties, Marvel just took that blueprint and applied it to their movies.

Breh Doctor Strange been on that type of stuff since the 70s. Not Nolan influence, it's just straight from the comics

Nah... the comics be on that spaced-out-trippy-shyt... more like FEAR AND LOATHING IN LAS VEGAS type shyt.

Wait a minute

I just found something interesting. For those who said "bu bu bu bu but Dr. Strange is copying Batman Begins"

So if BB is canon to the origin and Dr. Strange is going to be canon to the origin, then egg or chicken?


Well apparently in the comics.... Dr Strange debuted in 1963 during the Silver age of comics. Ras Al Ghul and the League didnt debut till 1971 in the next age.

Now I'm trynna find another source other than BB that Bruce did travel to the Far East to train and learn from foreign teachers, but thus far..... it's really kinda looking like Batman and DC stole from Strange and Marvel.


I'm gonna continue my research but if some DC stans have some info, now would be a great time to drop some shyt like "no no no... See back in 1959 there was a comic where Batman....." Cuz its looking like this "copying BB claims" is about to cease and desist.

They both stole the idea from Lost Horizon (which was published in the 1933) so nobody wins this round of the Marvel/DC Fan Wars.

I'm a nerd and I used to be deep into old school pulp comics like The Shadow and stuff and a lot of them were all inspired by Lost Horizon, at least the "rich white guy travels to the Far East for training/fulfillment/purpose" thing.
Actually there is a character from the 1940s called The Green Lama that basically did the whole white guy learns magic in Tibet thing.

Marvel stole it first though

All of that is just history. Almost the entire superhero genre was inspired by 20s-30s pulp/adventure novels. A 1930 novel called Gladiator is generally considered as one of the biggest inspirations on superheroes in general and Superman in particular, and Batman of course was heavily inspired by Zorro.

The ancient one can be whatever it wants. If the ancient one is trying to secure that 45 - 60 white woman demographic to ensure another marvel box office success.. who are we to judge

When it comes to Marvel's logic breh.....

Interview with Dr. Strange film writer C. Robert Cargill

Starts at 1:36:40

Some highlights:
Ancient One was made into a white female to keep the film from having too much controversy over any other choice they would have made (ie the possiblity of alienating China based on who they picked, SJWs getting angry at Stephen learning his ways from the "oritent", etc) and also taking advantage of making one of the most powerful Marvel characters a woman

Dr. Strange will "exist on it's own" to feel less cluttered like the other Marvel films

It will be "crazy" and the teaser really shows nothing about the dark realm and other dimensions

Marvel Studios is full of comic fans who know their stuff

A lot of the things they had in their first pitch are going to be saved for the second film to ease audiences in

Marvel is constantly trying to do something different with each series and their only "formula" is finding good talent to direct their movies
