Ode to the Updated Post: As Mike Pointed out in his post: "In the Marvel comic, "Dr. Strange," a character called "The Ancient One" was a Tibetan man. But for the upcoming movie, they made "The Ancient One" a British woman played by Tilda Swinton. "The reason, it turns out, is appeasement of the Chinese Communist Party, which doesn't want anyone bringing attention to their annexation of Tibet, their cultural genocide of Tibet, or their treatment of the Dalai Lama. "It's one of many, MANY ways that the Chinese government censors what you see, hear, read and know, regardless of whether you live in a country with "free speech" or not."
