Facts About the Sweetie

[przed]

A few brief facts about the Sweetie:

1. He loves Doctor Strange comics. Like, really loves. He's always quoting "by the hoary hosts of Hoggoth," one of Strange's catchphrases, to the point where I didn't even have to look that up.

2. He really, really has taken a dislike to Benedict Cumberbatch. Hates him, hates Sherlock, hates him a lot.

3. He has just found out that everyone is expecting an imminent announcement at Comic Con that Cumberbatch will be playing Doctor Strange in an upcoming Marvel movie.

A fact about me:

1. I am a very bad person, because I'm enjoying his outrage and disappointment far too much. *g*

Oh dear, poor Sweetie... But maybe it's just a rumour? In a sense (as not so much a Cumberbatch fan as general well-wisher) I rather hope it isn't true, because I feel Cumberbatch is getting towards overexposure at this point... but maybe that's less true outside the internet. That said, Cumberbatch can act, so maybe when he's not acting the Sherlock character he might be more likeable for him?

It is just a rumour so far, but it seems to be an increasingly likely rumour.

As for the Sweetie liking Cumberbatch in other things, um, no. He only finally watched the first episode of Sherlock this past December because I made him for my birthday, but had developed a dislike for him in other things long before that. He called him the worst thing in Tinker Tailor. (To be fair, Cumberbatch is up against a pretty stellar cast in that film.) It is, no doubt, the overexposure that's helped do it for him. That and me and everyone else we know (Everyone!) telling him how awesome Cumberbatch is. (The Sweetie is nothing if not a contrarian. *g*)
