I struggle to get past his offensive American accent.
Just feels like an overacted, nasal Sherlock.

I thought he was good in the first movie. But since then not so much. In the comic he is a more serious person. But as is the Marvel way, they gotta make everything so lighthearted and jokey in the movies.

Well, its a different medium than comic books so sometimes that does work for the better. Case in point, Serious Thor in Thor 1, 2 and Avengers whom no one liked and then Goofy Thor in Ragnarok which everyone loved.
But that's a very hard needle to thread. Honestly, I think that Thor pivot was one of biggest wins they pulled off.

He's a great Dr Strange.
None of the problems with this movie were because of him.
Can't tell if you're serious about his accent being "offensive" or just mocking the Brits here who throw a tantrum whenever an American does a British accent

Not at all, I'm a Brit anyway. There are many Brits who can do a convincing American accent, I just don't think he's one of them and I find it jarring when I hear him talk.

i'm sure somebody will tell you that the real movie of the year hasnt come out yet. i guess that being Thor or some shitty movie that has inclusivity as their main objective.

I genuinely don't get the hate for this movie. Yeah they badly botched the ending with that awful pep talk shit, especially when America couldn't get the job done either and they end up beating Wanda with a fucking Talk no Jutsu. Aside from the ending though I thought it was pretty good.

While I agree the movies never really explain it, I think it falls in the generic "flying" that a lot of super heroes do where they can telekinesis either themselves or stuff to stand on. Could Ebony Maw or Magneto fly, or do they just telekinesis stuff that supports their weight? Would probably make more sense to show golden magic disks under his feet.

I like him in the role, but this role isnt the comic Strange. Same with Wong. As someone else mentioned Marvel "lightened" the character up. Read the Defenders comic and Hulk, Valkyrie etc would just hang around the Sanctum Sanctorum while he spent all day in the study doing Master of the Mystic Arts shit. In the comics he spends all his time scanning the planes for threats to Earth. Apparently its a full-time job.
Strange isnt a guy you bring to parties. Same with Wong,

I still mourn the Valkyrie we could have had.
If they bring Angela in eventually, since she's a redhead, it is almost a certainty that she'll be black. Which will rustle me greatly.

Don't know about Ebony Maw but Magneto manipulates the Earth's (and other planets') magnetic field to "fly".
The first movie seems to make it clear that the cloak is Strange's means of flying but I always assumed he'd have a random spell to allow him to do that anyway.

its a bummer they didn't plan out Wanda better, I think she was a super interesting villain and should have had a longer arc across multiple movies. Her evil turn was also a bit weird coming out of Wanda Vision, there's like a movie missing where it shows her getting corrupted by the Dark Hold. I don't even really know what it is other than a floating book.

My biggest takeaway is that there is a multiverse universe where this movie was actually good. I want to go to there.

America Chavez kinda sucked. She had this "deer in headlights" look for the entire movie, no charisma, and just came out of nowhere with no introduction. People in the theater thought she was Ms Marvel. Factor in her stealing a lot of Strange's thunder in his own movie, and her overall presence felt unnecessary.
