Re: Doctor Strange

[kallanda_lee]

Correct me if I'm wrong, but isn't the character in the comics also sort of Asian cultural fetishism (at least the mystical bits)? I mean I get why people don't like that part, but it's not exactly a surprise?

meh. there are still people mad that Stephen Strange from Idaho (or whatever white bread midwestern state he was born in) with his parents Eugene and Beverly (or similarly super white names) is a white guy.

Oh it's not at all a surprise! But marvel had the chance to correct it in a multitude of ways--like maybe casting some Asian actors?!!!--and......didn't. And it's a bummer.

Okay, I don't really read Dr. Strange, so I may be confusing things, but wasn't the original character one of those kind of awkward stereotypes, the mystical magical Asian (villain? or just mentor?), and so they didn't want to go that way? I like that they mixed it up and put an androgynous looking woman in the part.

I don't know, I get the criticism, but it seems like sometimes when you try to avoid stepping on landmines, you just step on another one.

So instead of a "mystical magical Asian" they've given us a "mystical magical" Asian-eesque type (Asian dress in a building w/Asian architecture in a city that looks like it's in Asia, etc).

How hard would it be to cast an Asian actor and then avoid stereotypes in the writing of the character/plot? Why is that too much to ask in 2016?

Exactly, how is it "righting" a racial stereotype to cast another white person??
