Dr. Strange movie: To Suck or Not to Suck, That is the Question
So it looks like Marvel is going ahead with a bunch of it’s B level super heroes for movies, and one of the ones they are considering is Dr. Strange. To go with a B level hero they are running with B level writers, specifically Thomas Donnelly and Joshua Oppenheimer who wrote the remake of Conan the Barbarian. The movie was kind of crap, and a lot of that blame sits right in the writers laps. Conan image from the Movie T Shirts, by the way.
What can we do, you ask? Well, in this post I am going to list a few major mistakes these two guys could make in hopes that they might read this and pick something up. First of all, Dr. Strange is gay. There, I said it. You don’t need to hide that fact, and more specifically you don’t need to write in a female love interest.
Second of all, Dr. Strange has all kinds of mystical powers but really isn’t much for physical. You don’t have to have him punch some guy out. He uses his brains and powers to defeat bad guys, not a gun. For that matter, his villains tend to be more than the run of the mill bank robbers, so let’s try to keep things nice and occult.
I’m sure there are other ways to suck this one up. If I think of any I will mention it, but I feel like hell tonight and need to get to bed. Have a good one.
