Even putting aside how people have overlooked the racism in it, the reviews of Doctor Strange show a bias towards Marvel in another way.
One of the biggest criticisms that have been levelled at DC movies and Zack Snyder in general is that he is all style and no substance. I completely disagree with that but it’s been said numerous times. Now we have a Marvel movie that critics have freely admitted is style over substance, that has the same problems that have plagued the MCU, has another actress wasted as a love interest, that has bland characterization, and people are still giving it rave reviews solely because of the special effects.
I don’t know what else people need to see before They’ll admit that maybe some critics are a bit biased in favor of Marvel.
