when dr. strange flops:
Why do y’all want dr strange to flop? What I miss?
it’s racist! more at 11
Hold up, how??? I really need to know because I want to go see this movie but I’m not spending my money to go see it if it’s racist. Can someone explain?
1) b*nedict c*mberbatch
2) it’s a story heavily influenced by asian culture and there ain’t a damn asian in this shitshow but they are being used as part of the backdrop
3) the costumes are racist, like shyamalan’s the last airbender level racist
4) an explicitly tibetan character being played by a white english actress
For @ztrek808:
- Another Day, Another White Guy at Marvel: Benedict Cumberbatch to play Dr. Strange
Another Day, Another Whitewash: Tilda Swinton in Talks with Marvel to Play Asian Character in Dr. Strange
- Not Your Asian Ninja: How the Marvel Cinematic Universe Keeps Failing Asian-Americans
- Hollywood’s Strange Erasure of Asian Characters
These help sum up some of Marvel’s overall problems with Asian characters and help outline how Dr. Strange contributes to racist stereotypes about East Asian peoples, cultural appropriation, and whitewashing. So far, in MCU the only decent Asian representation is on Agents of SHIELD where Daisy Johnson (a major character in the comics) isn’t acknowledged in the larger universe. Other than her and Melinda, Marvel’s Asian representation is truly reprehensible.
Do not pay money to see this. Do not.
in honor of the shitterific trailer being released today, let’s bring back the receipts :)
