I thought Bricklayer Crumpetbum's performance was excellent, but his accent was so-so.
Strange was educated at Oxford. handwaving
He wears the cape with wonderful panache.
The sassy cape was my second favorite character.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.

Zen, the only thing is, there really wasn't anything substantial that required the beginning of the story to be set in 2016, rather than far enough back to give Strange his canonical 7+ years of tutelage under the Ancient One before moving back to New York to stand on his own. That actually would have worked far better to give him the time for character development such as realizing his own mistakes and being apologetic to Christine Palmer, as well as the bravery and self-sacrifice needed for his solution to the Dormammu problem. As far as I can tell, the only reason the movie didn't start in the mid-2000s or earlier was so Wong could name check the Avengers when showing off the big magic globe display.

I agree, Matt. It's unrealistic to think all of that happened in one year. It really only had to be 2016 when he was touring the library and Wong mentioned the Avengers. I prefer to think everything previous took a more reasonable amount of time. I'm real good at handwaving and retconning on the fly.
