Joel Was Right
If you smell burning, it's probably the generators acting up. Report it anyway.
This has suddenly become my most anticipated film. Any recommendations of comics for those who are new to the character?
They still haven't shown a single scene of him doing his wizard shit yet. Or even much action really. The Inception trailer had more action in it than this.
While I personally don't care much for the event overall, Infinity Gauntlet is pretty good at showing that Strange is on another level compared to the other Earth heroes.
Have they said this is in fact an origin film?
I wonder how long they'll actually spend on that before he becomes the Doctor. Could they do the origin in 15-20 minutes?

Seems like they're going for friends turned enemies with Strange and Mordo. If that's the case, I doubt the origin will be rushed because it will not just be Strange origin, but Mordo origin as well. And you'll need some time with them being friends so we can feel the emotional pay off from Mordo turning into enemy.
I have a feeling it will be a rushed origin story, based on how we already got most of it on the first trailer. (for people who know the character, this trailer could very well be the entire origin story).
Since all the fans already know Mordo will be a villain and how trope the "original student gets jealous of new more talented student" plotline is; I'd say they won't dwell on that.
Not because just the fanboys know, but because the fanboys will tell their friends who will tell their friends and by opening night everyone interested in seeing this movie will already know Mordo is a villain.
So the longer they try to pass him as a good guy, the longer the audience has to feel they outsmart the movie, which is bad, you usually want your movie to outsmart the audience.

I must admit, I do too. but its not the trailers fault
Its just come out at time where there are far bigger marketing campaigns going.
Like Suicide Squad is reaching the fever pitch of its marketing campaign, Cap 3 is getting huge press, Jungle Book is also massive.
At the same time, Fantastic Beasts gets a trailer etc
The response its got is muted, but only in relation to it environment.
I imagine the next trailer will really kick recognition up a notch

I just caught up with the latest run by Aaron & Bachalo. There's only 6 issues so far, but I'm really enjoying it. It's got such a cool vibe and has some fantastic art. Check it out!

Yeah, he really made him look like a total pansy.
The dude murders multiple unholy space dragons simultaneously in the final battle. Thor is awesome in Avengers. I guess I'm sorry he just wasn't OP enough for you?
Come on, Whedon totally made out Thor to look like the butt of the Avengers like only he can. Asgardians in general as Loki gets beaten in like five seconds. Even during the Hulk fight, Thor falls to the ground like a doofus five times. CG Thor gets hit, then you see a cut with the actor rolling on the floor. It's amateur. When the F-35 fires the machine gun at the Hulk, you see a cut of Thor jumping to the ground trying to avoid the spray of bullets like a coward. I'm like wtf? You're afraid of bullets?
I'm glad Whedon isn't directing Infinity War as he's awful at shooting action scenes. You can tell he's tired of doing them. Let the big boys handle it from now on.

Yeah, anybody can block a punch from Hulk!
And yes, Thor is afraid of bullets. Noone has ever said Asgardians are bulletproof.
That looks amazing.
Then he tries to strangle Hulk with his hammer. Come on son.
He has plot armour. He shouldn't have a cut where he's cowering. It doesn't exactly put him in the strongest light. Some God of Thunder.
Deadpool is the only character that's aware of the fact that he has plot armour.
And Thor is not an actual God in the MCU, he's an alien being.
Edit: if you meant plate armor, plate armor doesn't stand a chance against handgun-caliber bullets, let alone bullets from a Vulcan 20mm cannon.
There has been more chatter over this than Fantastic Beasts.
It's just a teaser trailer and this is a new character. I don't expect it to get the same recognition as the heavyweights right out of the box.
Like you said, he's alien. He can find a way. I mean, Captain America has an indestructible shield. Wonder Woman has indestructible bracelets. These are comic book characters we're talking about.

Mads Mikkelson is the bad guy (he's the one tripping out the hallway by waving his arms). We don't know who he is but the going theory is he's Nightmare. The black guy is Baron Mordo who may or may not go bad this movie.
You see cowering I see caution. Even Faora and Superman dodged similar fire until seeing the big lummox tank it.

I don't read comics or follow all the movies, but this looks appealing to me.
yeah i dunno what people in this thread are smoking Ant-Man wasn't a tough sell.
It was said at first that the Netflix shows were in the same universe but as time goes on they really seem to be make sure they aren't. Makes me sad, I like Rosario Dawson as Night Nurse in the Netflix shows.
Dawson is not night nurse.

The showrunners specifically said that even though it was their plan to, they couldn't call her Night Nurse because Marvel had future plans to use her (ie this movie). If they weren't in the same universe,I don't think they'd have a problem with it.
Ant-Man is Aquaman level hard to sell. It is not THE hardest to sell, but it is the hardest to sell on the most famous people.
I mean ... talking to ants, wife beater fame and "becoming small" always being seen as a bad thing to happen.

Oh shit, Rosario's going to be in Doctor Strange, where'd you get the 411?

Wwwow. Yeah, no. Thor did a shit ton more impressive stuff than in either of his solo movies.
They mean Marvel had plans for Night Nurse, not Dawson.

Let's go!!!!!
It's pretty heavily implied though.
Should have just used Rosario, would have been a nice crossover.

That for some reason felt generic. Might be Marvel fatigue and general sameness.

That was the least MCU-like Marvel trailer there is.

I hope they don't just off Mads without really developing him some. Seems to be a thing with the MCU flicks. Kinda hope if he does bite it, they develop him a bit, or leave him to be a threat in the future.
Wanna see a supernatural Hannibal-type monster character

Too bad Dr. Strange wasn't around to help Daisy win the debate against Fitz.
indeed, but that was an exceptionaly low bar. Like, he's just witnessed
his mom getting killed
like, what is this weak ass shit. I would have went on a rampage and demolished Asgard chasing that space elf and obliterate him
in the Avengers movies he does slightly more impressive stuff but still not enough tbh. AoU was especially bad in that regard
This looks so amazing.

Yeah, Thor has been nerfed so fucking hard. On top of that, he's also been dull as shit since the first Thor movie ended.
Biggest waste of potential in the MCU.

I don't understand why DC sold dr Strange to Marvel 10 years ago
Major insight into the workings of Marvel in that interview, even more hyped for this after hearing Cargill talk about Strange.
Good, I watched their teaser discussion yesterday, it was pretty good.
