Grade 8/9 extension tasks
Read this Guardian Film Blog on Doctor Strange - plus the comments below. Did audiences consider the film a success? Why?They think that is was a success but the way that the actors were placed as they needed a a certain ethnic background but the actors were way different from what the story required e.g they were supposed to have a Nepalese actor to fit its wizard but they used a different person, the consumers figured out that it would fit better.  

Read this feature on whether there are too many Marvel sequels and spin-offs. Do you agree? I think there are a lot but crucial to the story line as when you watch the marvel movies in a certain order you late understand the concept of the whole sequel, this is a common move made by marvel by releasing so many sequels and spin-offs if they didn't do this then they would be unique and it makes it interesting by releasing so many sequels.
