Storage space for 'Doctor Strange' negative reviews and think pieces:

Negative 'Doctor Strange' review by Angelica Jade Bastien [RogerEbert.com] [White savior narrative; Strange proves too right and capable about far too much to grow as a character or feel tension; too little "interiority" to the characters]

Dr. Strange is box office gold, but also a big missed opportunity for Asian Americans and for Marvel [Quartz]

How Doctor Strange Creator Steve Ditko Became the 'J.D. Salinger' of Comics

Blake Bell: "It's pretty appalling that lazy people still whip out JD Salinger/reclusive references 4 Steve Ditko. (Only validates his world view.) Just b/c Steve Ditko doesn't like to talk to YOU (or share your views on the cult of celebrity) doesn't make him "reclusive"."

The Creator of Doctor Strange Will Not See You Now [standard Ditko history piece; nothing new or insightful for the knowledgeable; another jerk pesters Ditko at his studio]

Update: Zack Soto: "Can you guys leave old Steve Ditko alone and stop trying to build your brand off telling the story of how you bothered him?"

Update: Mark Evanier: The Reclusive Mr. Ditko ["Still, he did some of the best work in comics that anyone's ever done in comics and I feel he has been undercredited and surely at times undercompensated. Some time ago, I decided that the best way to thank him for that is to accede to his wishes to leave him alone."]

'Doctor Strange' Resuscitates Fall Box Office With $85M Opening ["When you have 51% of the weekend driven by PLF, Imax and 3D, movie theaters exist for a movie like Doctor Strange. It's a testament to the real artistry here, as the movie uses every ounce of available technology to introduce something that hasn't been seen."]
