Former fanboys entrenching themselves in the creative process. Everyone has to see the Doctor the way they saw him as a child, as opposed to how he was, which for the most part was just "old man with time machine, and tricks up his sleeve".
bro, he like saves the entire universe, and he knows better than everyone!
Really, when did that happen in the old series? If anything, the character was defined more by being petty and childish, looking like a fool whenever in the company of other timelords, and continually shirking off calls to some kind of greater heroism or responsibility.
oh Doctor you have saved our planet, mostly by being in the right place at the right time! Please stay and be the champion of our people!
um, yes, just let me get something from my blue box... *disappears
That's the actual character.
Not space Jesus.
