Welcome to the main discussion thread for the Marvel Cinematic Universe! This pinned post is here to establish some basic guidelines. All of the Media Forum rules
still apply.
- This thread is for talking about the live-action films, TV shows, animated works, and related content that use the Marvel brand, currently owned by Disney.
- While mild digressions are okay, discussion of the comic books should go in this thread
. Extended digressions may be thumped as off-topic.
- Spoilers for new releases should not be discussed without spoiler tagging for at least two weeks. Rather, each title should have a dedicated thread where that sort of conversation is held. We can mention new releases in a general sense, but please be courteous to people who don't want to be spoiled.
If you're posting tagged spoilers, make sure that the film or series is clearly identified outside the spoiler tagging. People need to know what will be spoiled before they choose to read the post.

"Fuck that raindrop in particular"
Maybe you'd be less disappointed if you stopped expecting things to be Carmen Sandiego movies.Cumberbatch legit looks cool in his Dr. Strange costume, speaking as someone who thought he was visual Narm in a lot of his previous roles.
I'm more impressed by the actual costume. It's such a excellent adaptation of his comic self's usual get-up it's not even funny. It's approaching Deadpool levels of well-done
"All you Fascists bound to lose."No perspective defying collar hooks. 0/10

I mean, have you watched Deep Space Nine? Strange and Bashir are basically the same damn dude. Medics brought low by their own ego who obtain abilities beyond those of mortal men.

Which I'm not sure if Strange actually has, but that's my headcanon, and I'm sticking to it.
Oh God! Natural light!I actually thought the random fan suggestion of Pedro Pascal was a pretty good fit for the role.
But if you ask me, I'd have cast Liam Neeson.

Is using the Hand's resurrection-urn-thingy to bring Vincent Price back to life to play Strange a valid option?
Failing that, I don't really have any specific actor in mind, I just think Cumberbatch looks a bit off in the role visually. Matthew Modine could have nailed the look with a bit of hair darkening
◊, but the only film of his I've actually seen is Full Metal Jacket so I don't know if he could nail the role properly.
Joaquin Phoenix would also have been good, though.
Even if Cumberbatch is a bit younger than I'd like I'm at least confident in his acting, though.

You cannot firmly grasp the true form of Squidward's technique!

Relax a little. I don't have the link on me.
