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?

Heh. That'll teach him to hate Sherlock..

I don't hate Cumberbatch, though I've cooled on him significantly as time has gone on, but he would be massively bad casting as Dr Strange. Not that this'll stop anyone, unfortunately, but there you go.

Not that you're asking but my vote is for either Oded Fehr or Alexander Siddig, personally, but I'm realistic that neither of them are probably considered to be big enough to carry a Marvel movie.

And yes, you are a very bad person. ;)

I don't know who Dr. Strange is (ouch! don't hit me!!!) but - disliking Benedict Cumberbatch is a thing? Because he's one of the few newishly prominent actors who can actually act...

Ah, Sweetie - be nice!

I must be the only other person on earth who shares the Sweetie's dislike for Benedict Cumberbatch - I can't stand him! Not because he is a bad actor, because obviously he's very talented, but he's put me off every character I saw him play... Sherlock bored me to tears (again, I feel like I'm the only person not loving this show - in my defense, I watched 2 seasons because I thought there had to be something about it, as everyone else was so excited but nope). He was very good in 10 Years A Slave - but his role was very dislikable so I guess that's why it worked for me ;)
