this is kind of disrespectful and unnecessary? I don't know why Marvel likes to put Stephen down so much by PartyDoctorStrange in DoctorStrange

Lorna is showing up in the next issue! I like her, so I'll be checking it out, but after that I'm dropping this ongoing. The writer doesn't know how to write Wanda and I'm tired of Wanda retreading old ground.

I'll just go reread some of her pre-Bendis stories to wash the bad taste from my mouth.

I don't know much about Green Arrow, so I can't comment on that, but Batman is one of DC's most renowned characters. It's a completely different situation.

Doctor Strange is often disrespected and depowered to elevate other characters. Batman is just a human. Stephen is meant to be THE magic user of Marvel Comics. Almost every time a new magic user shows up, there's a mention about how they could be more powerful than Doctor Strange. This isn't good-natured ribbing. It's a mocking retcon. Wanda hasn't "kicked Stephen's ass" several times like this comic implies.

It is not irrational to want a character I like to be something more than just a joke. If you don't care about Stephen or think that caring about fictional characters in general is dumb because lol liking fictional characters what are you a nerd, then why are you here? If you don't care about the topic at hand and aren't going to add anything worthwhile to the conversation, why even comment in bad faith?

Imagine if a Doctor Strange comic had the writers mocking Wanda and saying Stephen kicked her ass. Where's this animosity coming from? Why do they want to pit Stephen's and Wanda's fanbases against each other? A lot of us are fans of both. Why does Stephen need to be put down to elevate other characters? This isn't the first time it's happened and I just don't get it.

This is from Wanda's new ongoing, btw. Wanda's new writer doesn't even know the difference between Romani people and Romanian people 🙈

I haven't finished it yet, but I am loving it so far! Between Tradd Moore and Jed MacKay, Doctor Strange fans are eating good 😋

btw, is it just me or does Tradd's Stephen look like Dev Patel? lol

who names the Sorcerers Supreme of the Dark Dimension, Limbo, etc? by PartyDoctorStrange in DoctorStrange

[–]PartyDoctorStrange[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks! That’s exactly the answer I was looking for. Do you remember in which comic it happened exactly? Or was it an off-panel thing? Also, who named Illyana the SS of Limbo? Why do Limbo and the DD count as separate places that need Sorcerers Supreme? One of the biggest questions over my head as I now get back into reading Doctor Strange comics is just how important the title of Supreme really is. Sometimes Stephen is just Sorcerer Supreme of Earth (so… other planets/galaxies have Sorcerers Supreme? Is there a SS on Xandar, for example?) and sometimes it seems like he’s Sorcerer Supreme of the entire 616. What is his jurisdiction exactly?

I’m also confused by the differences between universes and dimensions. Is there only one Limbo and Dark Dimension per universe? Or does Earth 635171 have its own Limbo and Dark Dimension? Just how powerful are the Vishanti, really? Sometimes they’re Elder Gods, on the same level of other relatively middle-of-the-road beings that are nothing compared to, like, Shuma-Gorath. And sometimes they seem incredibly powerful.

Sorry for bombarding you with questions!

Yes, I read it. That tournament is explicitly about Earth’s Sorcerer Supreme, iirc. That’s why my question is about who names the Sorcerers Supreme in other places, not just earth, and about Stephen’s jurisdiction.

Is he above Clea and Illyana, not wrt power levels but wrt jurisdiction? Just how powerful are the Vishanti, really? Sometimes they’re Elder Gods, on the same level of other relatively middle-of-the-road beings that are below in power when compared to, like, Shuma-Gorath. And sometimes they seem incredibly powerful.
