released in october 1948 was the very last hoppy film made. boyd also made some 52 half - hour hoppy tv episodes between 1952 and 1954. forty of these were fresh (original) shows co - starring edgar buchanan as red connors. the others were condensed / edited movies converted into half - hour tv episodes, usually with boyd narrating parts to aid the editing and condensing .
strange gamble
happens to be one of the films which was turned into a half - hour episode; it is episode 3 of tv season 1. i' ve seen both the tv episode and the feature film, both by the same name
strange gamble .
maybe i am too influenced by the tv episode, but the movie seems like cheap, formula tv. that' s my review. nothing positive to say .
speaking with cinemablend, spaihts explained that he, marvel, and his co - writers initially weren’t committed to doing an origin story. he says they actually “played devil’s advocate” and sketched a version of the movie at one point that would open with strange “fully - formed. ” they’d fill in his backstory along the way, but he’d “be doctor strange from go. ”
this far into the existence of the marvel cinematic universe, it’s pretty widely assumed that every solo movie introducing a new hero will be an origin story that lays out how they got their powers and what negative personality traits they were held back by before their lives changed. doctor strange is no different, with it chronicling the transformation of stephen strange from arrogant surgeon to slightly less arrogant sorcerer, but writer jon spaihts says the movie almost went in a different direction .
spaihts doesn’t specifically say why they decided to go with an origin story anyway, but he does explain that strange’s origin is his favorite in all of comics. he knows origins can be repetitive and that there’s “an inevitable same - ness to their structure, ” but he says this one in particular is “so good” anyway. “it’s operatic, ” he says, adding that he doesn’t think “there’s been a better realization of it than in this film. ” cinemablend also notes that the doctor strange movie is the first real introduction of magic in the mcu, so easing viewers into its world was probably a good idea either way .
