[QUOTE="Levistus's_Leviathan, post: 8217893, member: 7023887"] If they handle it well, that won't be a major concern. Of course people will complain about there being an intelligent, arrogant man coming to clean up the mess an emotional woman made (which has been mentioned before in this thread), but the amount of backlash from it will really come from how they deal with it. If they literally do the demeaning Captain Marvel-y "you women need to control your emotions" thing, that would obviously not be okay. However, if they do it more as an understanding, yet a bit snarky, mentor that just wants to help her guide through her powers and not try to control/demean her, I think the complaints about perceived misogyny would be very minor. It would also be better if we got to see some of the flaws of Stephen Strange that they didn't really go into in the first Doctor Strange movie (which is one of the big flaws of the movie, IMO). His character has had a much easier life than Wanda, and the problems he has had in it have largely been his fault (we all know how he broke his hands and lost his job). Wanda, on the other hand, has been an innocent victim through most of her life, through the death of her parents and brother, manipulation by Hydra, imprisoned by the Sokovia Accords, the multiple deaths of Vision, and so on. This could make an interesting dynamic, if they do it well. If they keep Doctor Strange as the "Tony Stark without the charm" type of his first movie and do the "man helps woman with her emotions" route, that would very likely be a mistake resulting in a lot of warranted criticism. They could do it better, though. This is the reason I have always preferred Marvel to DC. Marvel heroes/characters [I]generally* [/I]are more relatable than DC ones. [SIZE=2]* There are exceptions to this, of course. Batman and the Flash, IMO, are more relatable than Doctor Strange or Thor. [/SIZE] [/QUOTE]
