Aleph Null posted:Am I supposed to care about the IMAX Inhumans thing? I really don't. The royal family drama does not seem exciting at all. Especially if they aren't going to tie it into the existing AOS Inhuman lore. I'm cautiously optimistic but the dud that was the back half of Luke Cage has really made me less eager about Marvel Television stuff going forward. Of course Legion is really loving good, but I don't think Inhumans is going to be like that.

The main division between Marvel Movies and Marvel TV is Ike Perlmutter. He's an unmitgated rear end.

From what I got from Doctor Strange is tapping into the Dark Dimension isn't bad on its own, it's what you do with it. Mads and his Posse were less corrupted by it but more evil and greedy, wanting to live forever by striking a bargin with Domaramu for more power that would turn them into Mindless Ones, though they weren't aware of that part. Spoilered in case anyone hasn't watched Doctor Strange yet.

I guess what I got from it was that the Ancient One, even though she was using the power of Dormammu for "good", was still corrupted by it and therefore not capable of defeating evil, having to pass that burden on to Strange. Perhaps I'm confusing the lesson that Strange learned, and the one that Mordo learned.

I think it was more she felt that she was using the power for good and that excused her from telling everyone else not to do it because its bad. Magic is presented in the movie as a tool more than anything, it is what you use it for that gets you in trouble.

I understood it as there's no such thing as evil magic or evil knowledge just evil things. Especially with Wong's comment in that first library scene. We saw Strange just pick up the book with the summon cthun spell or whatever and open it and read from it and Wong didn't even care. Honestly I don't know why the bad guy didn't just … do the same. Why'd he have to make a big deal about it and kill people and steal the pages instead of studying it in safety in there? Who knows.

Except by tapping into Dormammu's dimension to enhance her life, the Ancient One was increasing the odds that Dormammu would take an interest in Earth and try to wreck our poo poo. The movie was very big on, "Magic has a cost" and that Strange would pay a price for dabbling so heavily in forbidden time magic.

Its a pretty regular part of magic stories and really is just a basic general tone of "be careful what you wish for" or "everything comes with a cost" or "with great power comes great responsibility" or "mo money mo problems" or whatever. Humans have been telling stories of power having unintended consequences for as long as they've been telling stories.

The whole comic book TV and movie fanbase is filled with this weird urge to defend your favorite show's flaws by tearing down all the other show's flaws and proving that you're one of the good ones. Its odd. Its like that time I saw a doc that claimed comic book shops are all hidden because comic book readers don't want random people wandering in and judging them. The hyper defensiveness seems to have carried over to the TV and movie stuff, which is weird considering how broad the audience for these things is. We really need to just embrace that our silly childhood past time is now widely popular and still pretty silly.

True, but it seems hyper inflated in this fanbase/genre. Of course that's probably just because of how circular and obsessive the comic fanbase gets.

It's always funny when comic nerds forget that most people don't care about that stuff. The RedLetterMedia guys get poo poo constantly for making GBS threads on DC movies and liking Marvel movies okay, and people come at 'em talking about bias, and those fellas barely understand that the companies are different and are rivals, so it just confuses them.

The Comic Book Movie Thread just seems to be locked in an unending argument about whether Man of Steel is the greatest film ever and Batman vs Superman the worst or vice versa. Like, that's almost always the topic when I look at the thread. You'd think people would get tired of it. I feel bad that a few months ago I contributed by posting my thoughts of those movies after finally seeing them. Now I realize that I fed the beast and feel very guilty.

I've been a shameful comic book movie fan since forever, but I thought Dr. Strange was boring as poo poo. It was one part Batman Begins, one part Iron Man with some shiny effects and glowy bits, and there wasn't one ounce of anything new in it at all. It's the first MCU/MCTV thing that I really didn't enjoy at all. At least Ant Man had a charismatic lead and some cameos and a funny joke about Baskin Robbins. The only thing I liked about Strange was that I loved Benedict Wong from Marco Polo, but he was wasted in this movie. I'm really not trying to get all hot take about this or anything, I just don't see the appeal at all. I guess the last 3 minutes of the movie were cool.

I thought it was a very pretty film. Visually arresting, but absolutely nothing making it different or exciting. It was a very straightforward story. Kind of disappointing from Marvel. I liked how S.H.I.E.L.D. tied into it this season. Took all the foofy pretty bits quite well.

The problem is that Stark and Strange really do have similar origin stories, and the writers couldn't resist making Stephen Strange a smart alec. He should have been a lot more pompous and grumpy; the butt of the jokes, not the jokester. That's what I think they were going for actually, but they missed the target. All that being said, I like the Tony Stark character enough to put up with another iteration. Dr. Strange may be lacking in originality, but if it's a knock-off then at least it's a very high quality knock-off. Pan Dulce posted:I liked how S.H.I.E.L.D. tied into it this season. Took all the foofy pretty bits quite well. I still hope the season ends with a more explicit tie-in. The Darkhold is too big business to trust to the government and I want to see Marvel's Men in Black get visited by the Men in Cloaks.
