In case you needed another example of people completely openly doing this shit. It is around the middle of the article: https://archive.is/IKk8e.

Obviously his explanation is racist and political, which should just tell you the direction the MCU has been taken, but I'm not sure I believe it. After the showrunner admitted she had no idea who Mephisto was, I can just as easily believe she had it changed because she didn't understand the character of Dr. Strange. I would readily believe she hasn't even seen his movie.
But who wants to bet they'll have no qualms having Scarlet Witch show him up in his movie? Because (as stated by Feige himself) current media mores don't like when a man outshines a woman, especially doing something she is also capable of. It's subtitled The Multiverse of Madness, so my assumption is that Dr. Strange has trouble because he is restricted by the structure and rules of his magical understanding, whereas Wanda's more instinctual knowledge will allow her to understand it better, even without any training or specialized knowledge. I'm 50/50 on whether there will be a "mansplaining" scene (specifically that the word "mansplaining" is used, I 100% believe there will be a scene where Dr. Strange is explaining something to Wanda and she just does it perfectly before he's done or interrupts and says something snarky about her already knowing.)
I really do appreciate how they ended the movies. They just barely started trickling in the marxist BS before killing off or neutering the characters I gave a shit about while wrapping up the main story.
It was like the writers gave a subtle nod to the fans to stop caring and ignore everything after.
Hit the nail on the head. End Game was barely watchable but certainly not rewatchable.
Infinity War? That was a masterclass in culminating a decade's worth of storytelling, setting itself up to be the first part of what many expected to be an awesome finale. And it's shame because you can't watch Infinity War without watching End Game but then End Game is crap compared to Infinity War.
Sure, it's a serviceable movie within the MCU, and the first half-hour or so is gripping and fits with the end of Infinity War, but the entire middle is a goofy time/quantum caper for no real reason, and the giant ending battle started awesome with the main Avengers fighting Thanos, but then it turned into absolute crap as important characters (i.e., Dr. Strange, The Hulk) were pushed off to the side while they had a nonsensical fem-power segment, and a lot of other wasted battlefield potential.
But whatever, I'm fine not really needing to watch anything else from the MCU. I'm intrigued by Dr. Strange's sequel, but after Feige was spilling spaghetti about trannies and the Rainbow Reich being an important part of their film universe going forward (including the interracial gay kiss they keep promoting in the upcoming Eternals movie between a jogger and a practitioner of the "religion of peace") I just noped out.
