Thanks 
You've incited some further thought on my end, I appreciate the prompt. I haven't written in ages.
Pride and Prejudice:
I know this is a historical piece of writing that many have thoroughly enjoyed and while that's amazing and wonderful that people have found something that is entertaining to them, I have found it very bland. This is likely due to my personal values and overall disinterest in such mundane matters that are thoroughly covered in the novel. To some, these mundane matters are the majority of what they know and their awareness has settled in that genre and they are still exploring these matters. The other aspect is that I prefer a different awareness than the one which has written Pride and Prejudice. It's certainly a beautiful story, complex, and full of lessons. It comes down to a difference of opinion and the topics covered in P&P are dry to me.
Anything Marvel or DC is incredible to me. It seems so childish and basic to be entertained by superheroes who are saving the world, and I don't really believe in people with superpowers. I believe in everyday heroes who are secretly making a difference and imparting an invisible handprint across humanity. The costumes and powers are Hollywood's method of making a message more interesting. I'm a fan of the "show" and not the "tell". The artistic creativity involved in "showing" a message takes more effort on the part of the viewer and there is more respect in showing than telling. So many want to "tell" with an opinion. I prefer a complex show and to stumble upon a truth by my own intellect. I find this very meaningful, self-discovery. Those who must be "told" what something is do not deserve to know. Naturally, I've grown a fondness for complex matters as the matters of truth are anything but simple.
I can see why JJ found interesting messages in Doctor Strange and why you may have overlooked such things. As similar as you both are--there are some distinguishing differences
That's the beauty of movies (or books, messages, etc)--one movie can become a million depending on the eyes viewing it. When we talk of "stalking" knowing thy audience means we can send messages in plain sight to those who know to read between the lines. Movies are a different form of stalking and includes a much wider audience. How big is your platform for being heard? How important is your message? How deep down into the rabbit hole have we traveled? How much further can we dig until we strike gold? Pushing the envelope until we break through the ceiling and enter an entire realm of "holy ****" is an amazing feeling. To understand that everything we have learned and been taught is lies, but also kernels of truth. When we reach such understanding a new world opens, much like a metaverse Rosy mentioned.
So I ask, why are so many stuck on mundane matters like those discussed in P&P when there are issues in the world related to topics from Doctor Who to resolve. I find it useful to ask where time is better spent: on mundane or metaphysical matters. A balance seems most ideal. Then again, I recognize living in two worlds isn't easy for many. Balancing two lives (or more, for some) takes a magnitude of strength and compassion to maintain. Kudos to those people who do the impossible.
