I must apologize for Mordo. He is an idiot. We have purposely trained him wrong, as a joke.
>>
Why did they have to fucking ruin his outfit?

I don't care whose playing him, they could have at least given him the cape!
>>
>>87493226
Because they wanted him turning evil to be a surprise to the audience, he spent the film running around like that and it would be obvious from the start.
>>
>>87493345

I was disappointed the post credits showed him full evil. I was hoping for more Strong Moral Disagreements but Still Vaguely Friendly for awhile.

did anyone else shit bricks at his Staff of the Living Tribunal

Honestly that's the reason I thought they'd keep him good. Everyone else has a black BFF so Strange would get one too.
>>
>>87493482

I think they might use Living Tribunal somewhere in MCU but I dunno if they'll connect it to the Staff. That name drop just helped me actually FEEL like they were in this mass cosmic position in a way that a lot of the other stuff at Magic Training Academy didn't. (this isn't counting the magical mystery tour TAO sends him on duh

Just because it's not integral doesn't mean an adaptation can do a 180 turn like that.

He is indeed. His race are called Makluans.

I don't think this was a thing in his first appearance, but got added sometime after he was introduced as a recurring Iron Man villain. Don't quote me on that, though.

I mean why would the living tribunal guardian of the omniverse need a puny staff? Does it contain a fraction of his energy or something. I agree relegating him to a prop is weak. He should've appeared in the psychedelic sequence with Dormammu at the most.

Agreed, they looked really out of place. One instance of comic accuracy looking crap. Maybe they'll either ditch them or give him better looking gloves in Infinity War.

I see it would get people curious. Maybe he gifted it to the Ancient One after she helped him defeat Dormammu in the past or something. Given how old the Ancient one is she's probably collected some weird relics in her time.

By having him off-screen doing nothing for most of the sequence, like Vision in CW.

Yes it is. Inaccurate adaptations are still adaptations. Even otherwise accurate adaptation still change minor details all the time. Mordo's race is a minor detail. Only people with certain unscientific views about race would think it was anything other than a minor detail. We have a word for people who hold those views. They're called racists.
>>
>>87494624
the thing about white characters is their race is rarely integral to their character. they're only ever really written as "characters", like the everyman. you kind of just unconsciously make the character white as a default.

if a character is black, they must have made him black for a reason, because otherwise there's no reason to just not have him be white. you end up with a character who only makes sense as black.

It was the same problem I had with magneto in first class, and Sinestro.

It was a little rushed but I don't think it was as sudden as you're claiming. Because look at how we introduce Mordo; he's the one chomping at the bit to go fight Kaecilius: Then he's saying he's conquered his demons and the Ancient One goes "lol no you just cope with them". Then we get the whole hints at a tragic or violent past when he 's training Strange and he talks about how his life is going to depend on fighting.

Dude's basically Anakin only better acted.

He still could be. They seemed to be building him up as kind of a knight templar type of villain where he's doing stuff for the good of the natural order.
So like, if it comes down to it, I can see him still teaming up with Strange to fight back Shuma Gorath and then they go their separate ways.

He went from a angsty little bitch at about a 3, to a genocidal child killing, wife choking 10 in the blink of an eye.

Mordo makes no sense, yeah the ancient one was using power she shouldn't be, but for more than justified means, and with seemingly perfect control and restraint, even with the strict view point Mordo was running on that shouldn't have turned him into a sorcerer hunting sociopath, hell Strange used some of the most black listed juju in the magic community and saved the world right in front of him, and yet Mordo was written into a convenient idiot at the end of the movie.

I'm not bothered by changes to race in adaptions, but I wouldn't claim that EVERYONE who takes issues with race changes are racist.

I think that a lot are just really, really attached to the source material, to the point where any change at all is viewed as somehow disrespecting them.

Of course you'll have some racists opposed to the change, but in nerd communities I'd probably say it's 75/25 obsessive accuracy wonks/racist.

You never met someone who was a stickler for rules?

Just because something doesn't make sense to you, personally, doesn't mean it doesn't make sense to someone else. People have their own ethical codes. There's 8 billion people on the planet; of course those ethical codes would clash sometimes, and of course sometimes those ethical codes wouldn't make perfect sense. That's why he's a villain. He's crossed a line where his obsession with a rule system comes before doing what will actually help.
>>
>>87500199
Race is just a very clear, very obvious change.
Nevermind that actors often look nothing like the comic characters, anyway.
It also messes with the backstory, so it's not without consequence.
People bitched as much about Daniel Brühl's Zemo not getting a sock mask. It changes the entire look. Doesn’t help he had a different backstory and no retarded nazi accent.
>>
>>87500387
>It also messes with the backstory, so it's not without consequence.

In some cases, yeah, but not all. Not all backstories are written with racialized contexts, at least when one considers that many of these characters were written in the 40's-70's, when 'white' was (far more heavily than to do) considered necessarily to be the norm.
>>
>>87499304

The consequence of TAO using dark energy was that Hannibal found out about it and learned how to summon Dormammu. We didn't see any consequences for him using the Eye of Agamotto (unless you count taking advantage of time loops) so you're kinda right about that

somebody in the theater i was in made a parallel to green lantern where you knew he was going to turn bad because you had prior knowledge, but the difference being "Mordo" doesn't immediately fire off flares that the dude could be bad like "Sinestro" does, which is an unfortunate lack of etimology knowledge coming into play.

You saw it in the movie though, his world was turned upside down and his ways couldn't accept it, so he basically turned evil without wanting to

Look up The Daily Show's Benefit of the Doubt clip with Larry Whitmore.

Suffice it to say, I don't. People are casually racist in too many contexts for me to think that there's not an element of that involved here. And remember that it doesn't have to be 100% racism in a given individual. Even if it's just the factor that tips the scale, it's an issue (kind of like how gays still blame black people for Prop 8).
>>
>>87501101
Mordo's turn makes sense. He has a lot f hate and anger bubbling underneath the surface but learned how to channel it. But the second it's revealed his mentor might not be totally legit he loses it because he completely bought into the ideology 100 percent. And after seeing Strange again make moral compromises for the greater good he realizes that the only person who should be in control is someone like him who wont corrupt the natural order.

The MCU hates costumes that aren't tacticool
>>
>>87501414
I don't really think of casual racism as intended racism. Not that it's not to be challenged, but the word 'racist' means a lot more than 'having racial bias', at least to most people. You accuse most people of being racist, and they think you're accusing them of being a person who is hateful of other races and dislikes them. It's a strong word, and one that I don't think we'll be able to redefine in most people.

And anyway, I really do think that if some of the people here looked into themselves, they'd find that it's just unreasonable belief based what they're familiar with from being a kid. Unreasonable, something I'm willing to criticise? Yes, definitely. I'd even go so far as to say that their obsessive clinging is rooted somewhat in the racism of the environment some of these comics were produced in. But to call them racist themselves is an assumption of intent paired with a word that is understood as so strong and accusatory that it doesn't seem to address their beliefs in the best way.

>>

I think on a case by case basis when you look at race changes that have happened in specifically comic adaptations there's a disproportionate amount of bitching when it comes to changing a white person to a minority than vice-versa. Literally no one gave a shit when Brick, an African American supervillain and one of Green Arrow's biggest enemies, was changed to be a white british guy played by Vinnie Jones. Compare that to the amount of threads dedicated to bitching about Johnny Storm being changed to a black guy around the same time. People try to say it's always minorities that complain about race, but the people who throw shitfits about it the most are typically white people.

>People try to say it's always minorities that complain about race, but the people who throw shitfits about it the most are typically white people.

I'd say that both protest about it equally, but there's such a disproportionate amount of white people in the western hemisphere that white racism is going to have the most effect and be most obvious. I'd say that most 'races' are going to be racist in proportionately similar amounts.

Finally a character I can relate to. As a white male, I have asian friends, not black friends.

Honestly I think the movie should have been a bit more slow paced and psychedelic. Marvel is at a point where they have enough clout that they can start experimenting with the movie formula.

Dude, black people are EXTREMELY racist. The most racist are probably Africans though. I mean in Africa Africans not black Americans.
I forget which region it was, but they literally kicked all the white people out, killing a lot of them, and taking their land
Unfortunately the only farmers were white so they started all starving lol

At least they actually gave a reason to why Mordo turned evil.

Sinestro just put on the yellow ring even though he was a straight-up good guy in the movie.

Also, the sudden, shap cut to TAO being carried into the hospital after we just saw her fall from the top of a skyscraper straight to her death. That was played as a funny moment unnecessarily

i laughed when Strange punched the mugger and, predictably, hurt himself because his hands were fucked up. felt bad once he started getting beat up though

>>87494624
Johnny being black while Sue was white was a terrible change because it forced a change in the story that added nothing.

If they were both black or both white, it wouldn't have mattered.

You can racechange here and there if there's a reason for it. I mean, its not like casting Matt fucking Damon in a movie about the Great Wall Of China.

Because Strange usually sits out most events for that exact reason.

He either shows up at the beginning of a story and spends the rest of the time handling shit from the astral plane, or shows up at the end and finishes off the plot. He's almost never around all the way through any teamup story.

>>87501599
People need to readjust their views. Racism is pretty horrible, but unfortunately we live in a society where racist views were accepted and encouraged for a long time. A lot of the things that people take for granted aa normal were actually instituted by people who (often explicitly) held the view that it would be best in order to "protect" white people, or to "protect" the institution from people of color (whether it's respectability or existence). Comics aren't different. The fact that so many line-ups are very, very white (causing ire when casting messes with that) is rooted in racist beliefs. And like a lot of racism, you don't have to be "racist" yourself as a reader if you resist hose changes; they already did that shit for you. All you have to do is uphold the status quo.

Their race isn't usually critical, but their visual look and feel is usually VERY important. And race is a part of how people look.

If the cast's white, the cast's white. Keeping it that way isn't fucking racism. It's racism to destroy everything white and fill it with minorities for no reason other than "muh diversity"

No, anon. You're wrong.

It's like the priest who tells people they can never know if God loves them or if they're doing bad things. They have to listen to him to know whether or not they're good people.

Anyone who cries racism at a cartoon film for comic fans is no better.

If Mordo is going to be a long term villain, he needed to grow strong enough to stay a threat as Strange gets stronger himself. So it makes sense to give him relics that can make him dangerous. Also he is likely a Batman-level hypocrite in that he would think forbidden magic is only bad when someone who isn't him is using it. This would mean he can power up just by going around sucking up weaker magician's powers like a vampire.

Plenty of characters only work if they're white. Captain America was white enough to be a propaganda symbol, Wolverine was born in 1800s Canada, Superman was adopted instead of sent to a foster home.
>>
>>87503030
Well they can afford it at this point. Even if IW doesn't make a big profit because of the huge budget+marketing, it won't be that serious. They would still have a ton of money made from the previous 14+ movies.

The consequence is obviously Mordo turning bad. That or something else within the universe. They never said the consequence was instant, just that it will happen.
>>
How much better would the film have been if they'd flipped the named in the script, making Mordo the one trying to bring Dormammu to Earth and Kaecilius the disgruntled master who walks away at the end?
>>
>>87512516
>How much better would the film have been if they'd flipped the named in the script, making Mordo the one trying to bring Dormammu to Earth and Kaecilius the disgruntled master who walks away at the end?
The issue is Kaecilius is a nobody in the comics, so it makes no sense to do that as Mordo has more story potential.

It would've been worse. We would've had Mordo killed off and some random no name character for the comics as a future villain. It makes much more sense to have the arc they had for Mordo, especially if they want Mordo to be Strange's Loki.

Isn't Superman set in 1920/30s America? He still works as a black character. The significant change that comes up is he is regulated to the black side of town. However with smallsville being a small farming town, it is possible racial tensions isn't as bad since its just poor/farmer whites and blacks.

Racism has always been intense in poorer communities though because people want to direct their anger at someone. Lack of education+anger= usually some form of bigotry(racism being the most common)

Embarassed. The entire MCU is embarassed about its characters, that's why they always make fun of them. "Haha, no sensible person would like these guys UNIRONICALLY!"

Well it's a clip from Thor 3 that is already being filmed, like the Bucky/Cap/Falcon end scene after Ant-Man. So it's already been filmed.
>>
>>87512415
Generally, a character only works as white under one of 3 conditions: 1) It's in the past (in America), where only white people could have moved around "freely" (and even then, that's not certain; just try being new money in a New England WASP enclave in the late 19th century); 2) The character relies on privilege that would be unrealistic (but not impossible) for a PoC to have (Stark has to be white-ish because his rich parents were rich in the 40s-60s); or 3) The character's flaws/issues include dealing with the effects of that privilege.

All of these can be interpreted pretty broadly to justify a bunch of characters, but it still leaves several (Hulk, Strange, Spidey) open for racebending.
>>
>>87512818
So not only does that have nothing to do with your so-called white massacres
>He doesn't know about world finance's gambit in the 80s/90s to bankrupt Africa and keep it under Western thumbs for good.
It worked so well they did it here in 07 and included middle/lower class whites in the deal.

>>87513177
*Works only
Word order matters kids. Obviously there are other instances where a white character works. These are only the ones where a character can't be anything BUT white.
