there's just so many other decent people it could have been. I don't like Cumberbatch either, and vastly prefer cosmic-time-and-weird-dimension-straddling Ditko and Englehart type Dr. Strange stuff so this is clearly not for me

Also trailers out there from Comic-Con for "Wonder Woman" (which looks good), "Justice League" and "Kong: Skull Island." I'm not starting threads, though.

Man, that "Skull Island" trailer ... it makes it look like Michael Bay's "King Kong." Kind of a bummer, amplified by yet another glaring, righteously indignant SLJ performance.

Anyway, new trailer. Should it be making me think of Inception so much?

p much hate everything about this - the casting, the Inception-style effects, the visual style
oh well

I'm kind of relieved there's nothing Marvel are doing for me to give them money any time soon.

Is this the same Universe as the Netflix stuff? Which is a peripheral part of Avengers/SHIELD one of course.
― Stevolende, Tuesday, 11 October 2016 00:03 (seven years ago) link
Yes. Luke Cage talks about The Avengers NYC craziness it in the pilot.

I love that in the newest teaser trailer they namedrop Steve Ditko while showing art by Gene Colan and Dan Adkins.

Is he going to at least cameo in the Defenders? Since he was a founder member in the comics and seems to have been in every line up afterwards. Seems a bit of a coincidence that he is introduced to that universe in the run up to the group team up which will now just be the Netflix team up characters.BGeen a while since I read the origin of the team but wasn't he the forming member?
But then again looks like they have been trying to get a Dr Strange film under way for years.
Just surprising that they'd go ahead with a group name being used with none of the main members being included. I think all those that are going to be in it are more on the level of associated members in the comics.
― Stevolende, Tuesday, 11 October 2016 08:47 (seven years ago) link
I don't think there's been any direct crossover between the movies and the Netflix shows. It's just a coincidence. The Defenders is simply a convenient name plucked from

Marvel history
― Number None, Tuesday, 11 October 2016 12:11 (seven years ago) link
The main notable thing about the Defenders is that they're... not the Avengers. The original lineup was Doctor Strange, the Silver Surfer, the Hulk, and Namor. Marvel Studios doesn't have the rights to half of those, currently, the Hulk is on the Avengers and played by an actor who isn't too likely to pop in for a tv cameo, and Dr. Strange isn't even out yet.
There's a point in the New Avengers stuff from 2010ish when it was a team led by Luke Cage, with Iron Fist and Doctor Strange in tow along with a mishmash of others and someone makes a crack about "New Avengers? Shouldn't you be calling yourself the Defenders?"
It's always been a mishmash of whatever characters editorial decides is available for a team book

― AdamVania (Adam Bruneau), Tuesday, 11 October 2016 14:25 (seven years ago) link
as they would say in the tv corner of the marvel universe, you're thinking of the avengers
this is the warping and inverting cgi cities movie that looks like inception
― dr. mercurio arboria (mh 😏), Tuesday, 11 October 2016 14:26 (seven years ago) link
tbh i was disappointed that the city-warping weirdness promised in the inception trailers turned out to be confined to one short sequence :(
my main concern is that this movie will have flashes of psychedelia but ultimately it'll end up with doctor strange and the villain going more-or-less conventionally toe-to-toe at an nyc landmark
― spongeboy bigpants (bizarro gazzara), Tuesday, 11 October 2016 14:34 (seven years ago) link
surprisingly the landmark is a deli

Wasn't Patsy "Hellcat" Walker a Defender for a long time? If she'll be in the Netflix show, at least they'll have one genuine member from the comics.

[INT: KATZ'S DELI, NIGHT]
A close-to-broken DOCTOR STRANGE is on his knees between tables, surrounded by SMASHED CROCKERY and OTHER DETRITUS as terrified patrons look on. His hands GLOW with ELDRITCH SYMBOLS as he desperately fends off a BLAZING SUPERNATURAL ATTACK from KAECILIUS, who is ADVANCING TOWARDS HIM, bent on MURDER.
Suddenly STRANGE's defences are BROKEN! He screams and screams as KAECILIUS' BLASTS of power SURGE through him and he FALLS TO THE FLOOR, exhausted.
ELDERLY PATRONI'll have what he's having!

are any of the post-60s Doctor Strange comics worth reading? I feel like once you remove Ditko and Colan's trippy artwork and Stan Lee's "hoary hosts of Hoggoth" dialogue, the basic concept itself is not really that interesting?
― - SOLO - Pink Dolphin, Bubbling Cassina (frog), Indris, Monkeys, Tiger (soref), Tuesday, 25 October 2016 09:35 (seven years ago) link
The issues drawn by Gene Colan and Tom Palmer are as beautiful, and as psychedelic, as the Ditko issues. There's a very good 60s run written by Roy Thomas, and drawn by Colan and Palmer, where Dr Strange gets to wear a mask for a while. In the early 70s, Steve Englehart and Frank Brunner (and later Colan and Palmer again) had a very good run on the title - Englehart was probably the first Dr Strange writer to actually have some knowledge of the occult. In the 80s, Roger Stern (w/ artists like Marshall Rogers and Dan Green) also wrote a fine sequence of issues (the Rogers-drawn stories are full of weird colour overlays and effects that are visually pretty striking, tho' the printing on the comics themselves was not always up to the task).
― Foster Twelvetrees (Ward Fowler), Tuesday, 25 October 2016 09:42 (seven years ago) link
Colan is tremendous, probably my favorite marvel artist after Kirby.

I adore those Marshall Rogers/Terry Austin issues (#'s 46 -52 I think?) and there was a one-off Michael Golden drawn issue in there that's one of the most beautiful Marvel comics to see print, in my opinion. Paul Smith's run soon after this was very good, too.

What about P Craig Russell?
― Robert Adam Gilmour, Tuesday, 25 October 2016 12:39 (seven years ago) link
There's quite an interesting story behind PCR's Dr Strange story:
A Dr. Strange story was originally conceived, albeit in a much different form than either of these two, by Russell in 1973. It was envisioned by its creator as a 60-page story, and he drew up the first 20 or so pages. It was accepted by then-editor Roy Thomas…and then promptly sat in a drawer for three years. It was eventually released in a much shortened form (scripted by Marv Wolfman) as Dr. Strange Annual #1. Now fast-forward 20 years to 1996. Writer Marc Andreyko suggested that PCR resubmit it, in a form closer to the original 60-page opus. Russell did, and it was (again) accepted. Russell realized that he’d need to redraw and rethink the whole thing, seeing as two decades had passed. http://gfbrobot.com/2011/11/17/uncollected-classics-doctor-strange-by-p-craig-russell/
Def agree abt that Golden-drawn issue of Dr Strange, AH; and I bet ppl like Arthur Adams and Jim Lee looked at it v closely.

P.S. That particular uncollected classic has just recently been collected (or the collection will be released soon).

nice!
it's over-referenced due to it being stuck firmly in Dr. Doom's continuity at this point, but the "Dr. Strange/Dr. Doom: Triumph & Torment" book (with art by Mike Mignola!) is pretty cool

paul smith sounds like a good fit for strange. i never saw those back in the day.
