Patrick Stewart Calls Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness Filming 'Frustrating and Disappointing' - IGN

Professor X actor Patrick Stewart has called his experience filming for Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness "frustrating and disappointing", though may still return to the character for the upcoming Deadpool 3.

Speaking on the Happy Sad Confused podcast, Stewart was asked to confirm if he, like some other actors filming for the Marvel Cinematic Universe entry, were actually interacting with their colleagues or just playing the part solo.

"It was alone," Stewart said, shaking his head. "I think the big scene, each one of the leading actors had the same experience. They were shot on their own. It was a frustrating and disappointing but that's how it has been. The last few years have been challenging."

The "big scene" Stewart references saw Benedict Cumberbatch's Doctor Strange appeal to the Illuminati for help, which in this multiverse was made up from the likes of Stewart's Professor X, John Krasinski's Mr Fantastic, Lashana Lynch's Captain Marvel, Hayley Atwell's Captain Britain, and more. Each member of the Illuminati was then cut down by a savage Scarlet Witch, played by Elizabeth Olsen.

Despite the poor experience, Stewart admitted conversations were happening surrounding Deadpool 3, the upcoming Marvel entry starring Ryan Reynold's Deadpool, Hugh Jackman's Wolverine, and seemingly a lot more of the characters from the X-Men films.

Stewart was first asked if he knew how many times Professor X had died in his eight film appearances before laughing at the answer: four, meaning a 50% death rate. "I don't know [what that implies]," he laughed. "But I do now have every confidence that he's still around."

Deadpool himself wasn't around for the Mutant Massacre crossover, but it's a story that would make for good fodder for the next movie. In this story, the X-Men join forces with several other Marvel heroes to prevent Mister Sinister's mercenary squad the Marauders from slaughtering the sewer-dwelling Morlocks. It's a conflict that would pair well with Wade's habit of protecting mutant underdogs. Given how Deadpool 2 and X-Men: Apocalypse have both teased the arrival of Sinister, it's about time we see this twisted geneticist pop up somewhere in the X-Men cinematic universe.

The first storyline on Deadpool's relaunched 2012 comic started the series off on a bizarre note, as Wade had to deal with the reanimated corpses of America's past presidents, not to mention the pesky ghost of Benjamin Franklin. Somehow, the franchise just doesn't seem complete until we get to see Deadpool and Abraham Lincoln go head-to-head in the boxing ring.

When neither Cable nor Deadpool's comics were selling particularly well in the early 2000s, Marvel combined them together and instantly reinvigorated both characters. The opening storyline in Cable & Deadpool set a strong example for the series, pitting the two unlikely friends against one another over possession of a virus that can remake the physical appearance of anyone exposed to it. If Cable is going to stick around this franchise, there are far worse places to look for inspiration.

Deadpool 2 featured a tease for "M-Day," a disastrous event in Marvel's comics where Scarlet Witch all but wiped out the mutant race. Why not lean into that tease and give us a full-blown adaptation of House of M, the story that culminated in M-Day? The bulk of this story explores an alternate reality where Magneto and his family reign supreme. We'd like to see how Deadpool fares in a world like that. That's not to mention the long-term consequences House of M could have on the larger X-Men universe..."

BIG MISTAKE. HUGE, COS.

Why? Because I discovered months ago that the entire Star Trek franchise has been under the thumb of the Cult of Scientology for years. Not sure about the original, but for those who don't know, it had some very subtle Queering, so I'm pretty sure they wanted to fully queer Kirk and Spock in the reboots, but ended up just doing a side character. In addition:

David Birkin, having not one, but two appearances, playing Captain Picard as a child.

Bryan Singer, a known Pedo and serial assaulter, remaining attached to the X Men franchise for years (and they are linked)

Majority of the actors being British, where Scientology and it's Satanic roots come from

Ian McKellen joined in promoting the actress, Ellen Page, as Transgender

IGN, a COS partner, actively engaged in harassment of Benedict Cumberbatch, through negative articles and by repeatedly tweeting a short video, detailing one of the most traumatic events in his life (the kidnapping in Africa)

A character in Strange New Worlds (note, the piggybacking of his mcu character) La'an Noonien Singh, who it seems 'whined' about being bullied because of her 'infamous' last name. Pre-Programming. If they bullied the actor once, they did it a 100,000 times on social media, because of his name

One of the Strange New Worlds writers, also wrote the last project that Tom Holland did, which gave him so much trauma, he decided to take a year off, for which the Cult tried to threaten him using social media

His tormenters also used trolls to accuse the British actor, again repeatedly, of stealing a role, Khan, from BOTH East Indians and Mexicans. After years of this we finally realized that if anyone was guilty of that, it has been Richardo Montalban. He is European Spanish...white European. So, it was another lie

Picard also engaged in that new, strange, activist writing that Hollywood has been into, whereby they ruin an iconic, white male character

They even try AGAIN, to promote Elizabeth Olsen, in this article. Let me make it plain, so that there's no mistake about this, because our group IS privy to info, sometimes and so far, it's usually correct. Elizabeth Olsen wasn't just acting as a meme thirsty actress on DS2. She acted as a SPY for Disney competitors. Now, if any of the COS partners, like Universal or WB want a piece of that chick, they can go ahead.

And ALL THIS, I actually just kept to myself, specifically out of respect for SIR Patrick Stewart. I should know better and if Hollywood doesn't stop pushing these actors to do and say stupid shit in public, they won't have anyone left, worth having any respect for. Good God, he even uses the same narrative that Olsen used during DS2 promotions, where she complained about the Green Screen. What's so ironic is that for an actor to show they can stay in character and work, using a Green Screen is to show real skill in your craft. These two say they can't hack it.

Deeply disappointed in this man.

Me: "Stop reblogging scammers who are catfishing as Gazan civilians, and donate to Anera and Doctors Without Borders instead, because they are actually on the ground helping the Gazan people."

Hamasnik cult member antipalestine-bigotry: "uR a BiGoT iF yOu DoN't ReBlOg GoFuNdMe ScAmMerS!!!!!111!!"

.

BE SO FOR REAL RIGHT NOW.

You Hamasniks are DEPRAVED. You are guilt tripping each other into reblogging obvious catfishing scammers, and some of you are obviously donating to these scammers' gofundmes, AND BY DOING SO YOU ARE LETTING THESE SCAMMERS STEAL YOUR MONEY THAT SHOULD GO TO HELP THE GAZAN PEOPLE.

You are so committed to your USELESS virtue signaling that you are willing to STEAL FROM GAZAN CIVILIANS.

You are STEALING from the Palestinian people and trying to make yourselves look virtuous for doing it.

You are a VILE, DISGUSTING BIGOT. You are actively HARMING the Palestinian people.

I suggest that you change your blog name to "Palestine-Bigotry" because you are obviously so BIGOTED against the Palestinian people, and you view Palestinians with such contempt, that you are willing to STEAL from them to stroke your own depraved ego.

Get the fuck away from my blog, you bigot.

Leaving a Cult and Dealing with Religious Trauma - Knitting Cult Lady

Ironically, this video crossed my feed yesterday shortly after I opened the NY Mag Gaiman article. In it, she talks about how getting out of a cult is a first step, but is not the end of what you need to heal. That there's a Decade of Deconstruction necessary to fully be present in and enjoy the new life you build for yourself.

It dovetails with some issues swirling within the ex-Scientology community right now that I'm sure are about to collide with the parts of the NYMag article about Gaiman's roots in Scientology and the traumas he has failed to deal with appropriately.

I'm not super deep in the ex-Sci community, though YouTube likes to suggest certain videos to me because I watched Leah Remini's show. In general, it seems that many of the younger people who left the cult and have chosen to be public are constantly beefing with the elders who've been out for years or decades. Most of these younger folks have YouTube channels, and they're playing out all their personal dramas there in public in ways that are deeply unhealthy. Every time I see or read about the newest development, all I can think is: They're acting the way Scientology taught them to act while maybe not realizing it.

Based off of what Danielle says in the video, they have not fully deconstructed, and appear not to realize they need to do so. They think that because they are Out, they are fine.

Narrator: They are not fine.

It makes me wonder how little deconstruction from Scientology Gaiman did. Makes me wonder if he did any. Because the high level of compartmentalization that appears to be going on with him feels very close to what we've heard people who left Scientology talk about needing to do to survive, and how those still in the cult engage in it.

This isn't constrained to Scientology. In the reading and watching I've done, it's a part of any high control group/cult. Which is why getting out involves more than just not believing, anymore, and physically escaping. There must also be deconstruction so that you don't carry these destructive ways of existing and relating to people out into the world.

This is in no way any kind of excuse or apologetic. In the end, Gaiman is responsible for the choices he made. He had the money to get help, he had friends and family and community to lean on, and even if the tools weren't all there when he was a young man, they've been available and talked about for many a year.

He learned all the wrong lessons from Hubbard.

sorry to be glib this is gallows humor but it hits like a brick to see "scientology" amongst all the other horrible things listed in that post going around trigger warning people before they read the gaiman article

It's not that I don't support her because of her sound, I just can't support anyone who ever supported scientology and Danny Masterson. I don't care if she apologized. Apology not accepted. She's just saving her ass now to try to not look like a horrible human being. It's not gonna work with a lot of LP fans. It's sad the fans have to be divided, Chester wouldn't want that. But Chester did want us to move on. However I'm incredibly saddened that out of all people on the planet, that's the singer that Mike chose.

Benedict Cumberbatch, Olivia Colman to Lead 'War of the Roses' Remake

"The Roses’ is a wildly funny, bigger than life, and yet deeply human story,” said Searchlight president Matthew Greenfield announcing the project. “With Jay at the helm, and Benedict and Olivia and Tony, we have a dream team bringing it to life.”

So Matthew Greenfield at Searchlight is dirty...BEYOND dirty. No comment on Olivia Colman as of yet, but we all know now that actors and actresses usually have NO SAY I'm the projects they're currently put in. This film should not be made. It's another horrible, cruel joke to play on the fans of Benedict Cumberbatch and the people pushing it are on the same level as that jackal Jay Z and the NFL This is pure, sick, Freemason, ancient bullshit. Also, how is it this project is STILL in development, when it's BEEN in development since 2017?

And Benedict, if you go along with this project, it will be revealed to the public that you are going along with your own public humiliation, in order to enrich human traffickers.

Was Clarence really not enough for you?

Or Eric?

How about pissing on yourself in Louis Wain?

AND HEY, DISNEY...BIG FUCKING MISTAKE!

More Gaiman thoughts

There is another episode in the Tortoise Media podcast series about NG, this time focusing on Claire, the woman who told her story in the Am I Broken podcast earlier last month. There is apparently a recording of a phone call NG and Claire had, where he sort of "apologized" for his actions and said that he'd pay for her therapy and/or donate to the charity she was working for at the time.

So, did he admit guilt? Innocent people don't apologize or offer to make up for their shitty actions by donating money.

It all boils down to consent. And if the person felt icky about these actions, if they felt violated and traumatized, then there was no consent! Even if they were okay with it in the moment! If they look back on the events years later and don't feel right about it, if they have ongoing trauma about it, it was not consensual! And their doubts about that relationship are valid! Too many people seem to think that just because they were okay with it "at the time" then they can't reverse course on their views of that relationship later. Claire clearly had trauma about her time with him. It was not consensual.

I'm sure NG had consensual relationships. I'd heard the rumors about his "groupies" and I figured they must have all been consensual. Now I realize that quite a few of those were not. And I feel bad that I was lured into his "rock star author" persona and never thought about the women involved because I'd thought they were consenting.

But that's was NG wanted me to think. He crafted this charismatic public persona which charmed me. He crafted a fictional version of himself because he's very good at creating characters that people like. All the while doing awful awful things to women. And I'm angry on their behalf.

I don't necessarily want to keep harping on this but the whitewashing of NG's character on the internet is in full swing and the tag needs more posts that share the truth. NG is a gross creep.

Finally, Bill Cipher has united the Mormon cult and the Scientology cult. Honestly, Bill will do LESS damage...

Frodo: "Thetans?"

Elrond: "Yes, they are invisible amalgations the spirits of dead alien beings."

Frodo: "Alien beings?"

Elrond: "Yes, you see, 75 million years ago, the evil tyrant of the Galactic Confederacy, Xenu, was..."

I've taken to describing Cruise as the world's highest profile cult victim.

@cosmictuesdays I can see why.

Honestly, I don't know much about Scientology or Cruise’s history with it (nor do most people). But I do know that he doesn't talk about it publicly anymore, and it’s always the first thing anyone mentions about him or as an asterisk next to his success. It shouldn’t be when we all realize that Scientology is a cult and we don’t know about his personal struggles or how he’s treated in these circles. I just feel bad for him honestly, I really do. Cults don’t feel like cults when you join them, (as an observant religious person, I can say that the thin line between religion and cult is one that is easily crossed, but not so easily noticed) and leaving is far harder than most people realize. Cults attract people who are already vulnerable and who desperately want to belong.
