Damned if you do, damned if you don't. If she was played by someone Asian, you'd have people complaining about the "Wise Asian Master Helps The White Person Become The Best At The Thing" stereotype.

So, Disney is hedging their bets by genderswapping the Ancient One and then picking a androgynous actress to play them (since the Ancient One is sort of supposed to be this person that transcends time and space.

It's kind of a fair point, in the sense that the original setup is pretty much just impossible to do in a way that really accords with our contemporary standards of depictions of race.

But, first, I think having the "Wise Asian Master" stereotype would be less bad than having Tilda Swinton.

Second, there's absolutely nothing pegging them to using the precise set-up and origin from the comics. There's no reason they have to set it up the same way and use the same cultural flavorings or even the same concept. There's no reason they even have to emphasize the origin story. It's a pretty free field.

Well, they are changing a good bit of the origin story afaik. Hard to tell how much and what this early in the game.

Solution: make Doctor Strange Asian-American :)
