Much appreciated, thank you! Seems like I'm going to have material for all slow weekends for the rest of the semester, if not more. :D

    I have no idea how much what you find interesting lines up with what I do.

I'll put it like that: judging by your analysis and points that you made about Doctor Strange and earlier ones about Batman and Superman, I think that the cliche "we are not so different, you and I" is in order. ;)

If there is anything that I feel could help is that I hate certain arse-pull moments resulting from sloppy writing. I don't mind, for example, a brilliant engineer doing decades worth of work in a week, provided that said scientist was established as that good and resourceful. Which is point for point Iron Man from what I've read on Wikipedia. If Iron Man would suddenly be able to out-diagnose Dr House, that's where I would stand up and leave. Or let's say that Superman would also had some contrived super-brain that would let him memorise and understand everything amassed in Library of Congress in nanoseconds. That's would require going beyond words like 'omniloathsome'.

    I don't know which movies you've seen

Pretty much none, so you making the above selection and synopsis will undoubtedly make bunch of evenings really fun for me. Most of them came out when I was still in high school, a pretty hectic time for me all things considered. I barely had any time between piano practice, schoolwork, science Olympiads, basketball training etc. In that regard I was fitting the trope of über-achieving kid a bit too much for my liking. That said, while I love my parents and constantly look-up to them, this is a major reason why I'm living in the dorm. ;)
