Doctor Strange Comics - Tumblr Posts
i am so excited yet so scared for Clea Strange finally being in the MCU. Because on one hand, I love Clea and Stephen's romance and i'm excited for it, but on the other I have a horrible feeling that the writers are gonna fuck it up. I NEED my girlboss x boyfailure dynamic. And I KNOW that Charlize Theron and Benedict Cumberbatch can pull it off. I just hope that the MCU writers and directors won't be a bunch of pussies and chicken out of making Stephen a malewife. "bUt HeS tHe StRoNg MaLe PrOtAgOnIsT, wE cAnT mAkE hIm WeAk AnD fEmInInE." YES YOU CAN. FOR MY SANITY. AND HE ISN'T WEAK HES JUST SERVING CUNT.
Also I don’t quite appreciate the very clear racism and dehumanization in older comics regarding Wong’s standing as manservant, but I can appreciate how Stephen actually corrects his mistakes when he speaks ill of him and realizes just how much he needs his friend. Him calling him old friend is heartwarming. How their relationship has grown from master-servant to master-master over the years is much better.
(And to be fair he’d been having quite a rough day/night. Though it’s not exactly an excuse.)
