This seems unlikely

I mean do people even like Doctor Strange like that

[(Anonymous)]

Oh, my sweet summer child...

[(Anonymous)]

DA

Doctor Strange is -very- popular, in a myriad of ways.

[(Anonymous)]

I assumed the age of Benedict Cumberbatch was over and he had passed into the West

[(Anonymous)]

Ha, same. Along with SuperWhoLock.

[(Anonymous)]

IDGI either. He seems kind of asexual to me. Or...I have a hard time picturing him in a relationship for some reason, either. So aromantic, too.

[(Anonymous)]

Dr Strange? He's clearly NOT in the comics, he and Clea have a pretty horny relationship.

[(Anonymous)]

Dude is a FREAK in the comics.

[(Anonymous)]

+1

Probably Marvel's biggest tentacle magnet, and that's saying something.

[(Anonymous)]

Ironstrange is a popular pairing and even Tony's death hasn't stopped it.

[(Anonymous)]

I mean do people even like Doctor Strange like that

Yes.

[(Anonymous)]

In theory I'm all about ship and let ship. But for some reason Stark/Parker in particular hits buttons for me when I see it shipped as a healthy romance, not as a fucked-up mentor turned pedophile situation it actually would be. Maybe it's because of how common the ship seems or how much I see the romantic version of the ship? Maybe it is because I've had a couple people I thought were mentors turn out to be just using me and manipulating me (not sexually). I don't know.

Honestly seeing Strange/Parker being written as romantic would squick me less because the mentor angle would be removed.

[(Anonymous)]

Personally, I don't care for it either because I'm exactly Tony Stark's age and Peter seems tooooo young to me. I like their kinda mentor uncle dynamic instead.

But when I was Peter's age I was thirsting for old guys so maybe I'm a hypocrite.

Also, agree with OP about the focus switching being irritating. That bums me out when a character's gone, too.

[(Anonymous)]

That's not hypocrisy, it's growing up.

You'd only be a hypocrite if you crapped on the primarily-young fandom for the pairing for their thirst, instead of just avoiding them.

[(Anonymous)]

Not a hypocrite, unless you criticised the young fanbase for being that way! I think many/most of us are like that. Age and experience is attractive, and then when you're old enough to really get how big a difference it is and what babies teenagers are, it's weird and squicky. Especially if you empathise with the older one, like for you being the same age as Tony.

I had this very early, because I watched Pretty Little Liars when I was a new, 22yo teacher with 16yo students - who were TINY BABIES - and consequently the 22yo new teacher/16yo student ~forbidden love pairing, which I probably would've enjoyed when I was a teenager myself, because the squickiest thing in the WORLD.

I mean, I also don't judge older people who can still enjoy teen/adult pairings as a fantasy! But I do think that's a really common experience.

[(Anonymous)]

Iron Man/Parker is extremely basic. I'm surprised anyone who that likes it isn't proud to call themselves fickle.

[(Anonymous)]

???

I like fairly "basic" ships and am not into starker, but if there's one thing I wouldn't call that ship, it's basic. I mean, it's...a lot. There's a lot going on there.

[(Anonymous)]

ayrt

True. I guess I meant it more in the way that people who ship the 'mentor/mentee, or Father-figure/son' dynamic ship them even though they barely fit that profile. There's a /lot/ of reaching and picking/choosing when it comes to this paring, basically to the point it's cut and dry what people want it to be in fanon, and is majority shipped to fit that dynamic regardless of what canon says.

So yeah, you're absolutely right. Not basic, but shipped in the way that I would not be surprised if people jumped ship for the next new sugar-daddy type just because they can... I guess?

[(Anonymous)]

+10000000

[(Anonymous)]

Yes, this will absolutely happen, and most Starker fans will jump straight over there because they will go for any young woobie/old mentor woobie ship. Sorry, OP, but you're right.

OP

[(Anonymous)]

Lol, yes! This is my thoughts exactly. Or substitute hot young twink/older mentor daddy.

Unfortunately for me, I actually love this specific ship, and the very specific dynamic of these specific characters. So when the exodus happens and basically takes most of what's left of the fandom with it, I will be left behind. #fandomproblems

[(Anonymous)]

I feel this so much, OP.

OP

[(Anonymous)]

Aww, thank you, anon. I appreciate you. <3

[(Anonymous)]

Dr. Strange was literally the role that got me to like Benedict Cumberbatch.
