I think you give way too much credit to actors/actresses about their knowledge of these characters. Sure, some are huge fans beforehand OR have played the character long enough to have done a shit ton of research.

But for a (likely) one movie character who probably won't be in the majority of the film? I highly, highly doubt she is reading all the back issues of Doctor Strange.

Also, I don't think they cast Swinton as a Tibetan character to avoid offending the Chinese. The character is NOT going to have a Tibetan origin in the movie. Regardless of who was playing the character (Tilda Swinton, Lucy Liu, Ice-T, that one dude who should totally play this), the character was never going to be Tibetan.

I get that the internet sometimes forgets this, but Disney/Marvel is first and foremost a business. They are in this to make money. And China is a huge market that makes them a lot of money. So, if Disney/Marvel thinks changing a fairly minor background element will increase their profit, they are going to do it.

It is cool when entertainment companies some how further some social justice cause or another, but they are not obligated to do so. Disney is not obligated to be the first step in mending the conflict between China and Tibet. They are here to make movies about superheroes, jedis, and talking animals.

Well said, I salute you.

Either way, the knuckling under to the cultural erasure of Tibet isn't a good thing.

It isn't, but the origin in the comics has nothing to do with actual Tibetan religion or culture either, so I'm not mad about them changing it.

That's the way it goes, man.
