Some nut on Twitter is upset about this! Oh, FFS. She would win in the comics, too! I feel like folks only watched the "What If" episode and think that that is the real Strange (where can can just absorb the energies of entire universes). He gets his ass kicked all.the.time in the comics. Mostly because he is wicked arrogant. He is fallible. He needs to be that way or you can't relate to him. He is a human. Not a god. I mean, IIRC, there was one comic where he thought some villian chick was hot and then she kicked his ass because he underestimated her, then he ended up winning (I think - I have to go reread it, I guess). It would not be any fun to have the hero just easily win. None of the other heroes easily win. They all get beaten at some point. ETA: He, seriously, was magical Tony Stark. He slept with all kinds of women, was a total prick, was completely arrogant, and had no friends. There was no Christine Palmer. He was just a complete ass. He was a product of his time and kind of straightened out when he met Clea, but that was weird, too, and ended up being an unhealthy relationship we would frown upon now. I doubt he was nerfed. Highly doubt it. Unless he nerfed himself because he was being an arrogant know-it-all like in Spider-Man. ETA2: Not everything needs to be a fight to the death or have violence be the answer. What I liked about Strange 1 is that he used his wits to defeat the villian. Not just punching someone until they give in. So, yeah, maybe she would win in a fight. But, hear me out, what if he kicks her ass in Twister? Or, cribbage? Using his wits? Wouldn't that be cool? Violence isn't always the answer. I also liked how Spider-Man subverted the "kill all the villians" trope and worked to save them.

Yep, people is getting very intense about these cartoons characters! Who cares?! I mean, I like to talk about them (obviously) and I do with other Marvel fans IRL. It can be fun talking about costumes and references back to the comic books and stuff like that. Sending each other stupid memes. Reading silly theories. It is fun and harmless. But, they are still fictional! No need to get really really serious about it.

Of course! They are things made for fun! It's like what Scott Mendelson suggested in his review: there is a huge problem if people base their own issues and identities on them!

I noticed during his Live with Kelly and Ryan interview that he’s wearing something yellow under something white (or grey?), under his jacket.

Isn't that his light purple merino sweater? Not a white shirt? I can't really tell the color!
Also, I noticed in one of his interviews, he was wearing that yellow fisherman's rib scarf he wore years ago when he was doing that soccer game with kids (does anyone remember that? It was for some sports award).

I watched the Lorraine show on that app that I’ve mentioned before - TV Mucho. The connection isn’t great, and it cuts out a lot, but it’s better than nothing! With the free version of the app - which I have - you can watch up to one hour a day. I’ve only checked out the UK channels so far, but they have other countries listed, too.
The best feature is that it lets you record something and watch it later. The Lorraine show was at 4 a.m. my time, but I had set it to record and watched it later. It keeps your recordings for 6 days, so the recording of Lorraine is still there if I want to watch it again. I also use the app to watch The Great British Sewing Bee!
The paid version of the app lets you watch for more than 1 hour, and hold on to your recordings for more than 6 days.
