White people can't be mysterious wise ones now?

DA

That's not the problem. The problem is that Swinton's character has all of the trappings of an Asian wise mentor, while being played by a white actor. It's either this close "" to yellowface, or actually crossing that line. (Not sure which until/unless I see the actual movie.)

If Marvel had instead gone all-out on the Celtic imagery for her character, you'd still see complaints about whitewashing a POC comics character, but not the additional complaints about yellowface. And if Marvel had done the really smart thing and combined a Celtic Ancient One with a POC Doctor Strange, then most of the criticism would have been enthusiastic praise instead.

Wow, no. A 'Celtic' Ancient One with a 'POC' Doctor Strange would have been too clever by half. It would be better just to have them both obviously be the same ethnicity as the director.
