Zesty niggers.
Kek he's so bad at PR
Did he sink the brand on purpose to keep disney's claws off it?
No, he's been in a homosexual LGBTQ bubble for years now. He honestly thought it would be a hit
how tiny is the the right guy holy shit
RTD's fall off needs to be studied. Amazing how the same man responsible for the absolute kino that is the 2005 run is also responsible for whatever the fuck we have now.
you have lived to see the end of /who/
it's been an honor and a pleasure
rusty is like 6'6"
The best parts of his original run were the stories written by others, or the ones he copied from EU stuff. He's definitely spent the last decade smelling his own farts tho
Oh no who could have predicted?
Remember that a male presenting Time Lord would never be able to give up power. Remember when ni e absorbed the time vortex from Rose and put it back killing himself?
Maybe Season 2 will be a bit better and save the show fro..... oh
the fans of the show will grow up
What did he mean by this?
And the zesty negro won't even dare that Doctor Who died on him. It's just white people shit
This is very embarrassing considering we are only just onto season 2 of the supposed "reboot". Just let this shit die. Dr Who was always a retarded premise and a shitty sci-fi universe anyway. It was briefly elevated by Christopher Eccleston, David Tennant and Matt Smith, and that's that.
Season 2
Huh? Didn't that air back in 2006?
ME FOOKIN DALEK WAS A FOOKIN INCEL!
David Tennant
If you're gay, sure.
More like 1964.
They rebooted it again a year or two ago. So we are just on the second season of the second reboot. It was just a gimmick to try and get new viewers into the show and they failed miserably.
Crazy to think we probably could have gotten a 3rd season with 15 that could have fixed things a bit if RTD didn't waste budget on that retarded UNIT spinoff.
At least everyone will memory hole what he did to Davros
Eccleston = Capaldi > Smith > Tennant > Zesty > Whittaker
inb4 muh scripts
Fuck off.
on that retarded UNIT spinoff.
Oh yeah LMAO. Torchwood and Sarah Jane were successful because they targeted different audiences. What was this going to be? Two grannies and a smug cripple fight aliens not good enough for the main show?
RTD's fall off needs to be studied. Amazing how the same man responsible for the absolute kino that is the 2005 run is also responsible for whatever the fuck we have now.
easily
this
absolute kino that is the 2005 run
is only the opinion of a complete retard
fat
UNIT spinoff
I don't even remember this. I remember some spinoff about teenagers or something. When did the UNIT spinoff come out?
What happened? Do people just not like classic science fiction anymore?
RTD is the one who gets Doctor Who cancelled
Couldn't happen to a nicer bloke
It's not come out yet. It'll be shat out on Disney Plus next year after the main show has already gone into hiatus
classic science fiction
lmao
No, he always wanted to buck break the doctor, but he needed to boil the frog to do it.
Unfortunately the pan boiled over and his dreams were dashed
Honestly I'm kind of hyped, I imagine it will the most glorious kind of trainwreck.
I could barely motivate myself to watch the femdoctor seasons. Sacha Dhawan was a solid Master though. Very menacing.
Then we got a brief return to form with the Tennant episodes, and I just couldn't bring myself to watch Black Doctor.
Literally all they have to do is cast any white dude and make some episodes with the old favorite villains.
>you have lived to see the end of /who/
it's been an honor and a pleasure
I've not watched an episode of Nu Who in years but I always pop into /who/ to follow the shitshow. Will be a little sad to see it go desu
Quite the reverse. They like it and want it, but not only are they not getting it, they're being given a paper thin facsimile and being told to be grateful.
Literally all they have to do is cast any white dude
No you should still demand quality
Dr who hasn't been classic science fiction for years
Apologize
Doctor Who is canceled
good
The children who aren't watching it now, will grow up and want to write it
You sure about that, Russel?
Even RTD's biggest YouTube shill (the wheelchair fella) is saying it's over now
Kek its actually over at last
Same. Haven't watched this shitshow since Hell Bent.
I will grieve for Doctor Who, for the kino it was, not the shit it became.
Literally all they have to do is cast any white dude
Capaldi was literally unwatchable.
Capaldi was one of my favorites. Any flaws in his seasons were down to everyone else.
Capaldi had a bad start but became kino as his hair grew
Bring Tom Baker back
Youth was thinking Tennant was best, but I'm beginning to realise this is the truth. I think Capaldi was the best actor to ever perform the Doctor.
h-history's a whitewash
Yeah no thanks.
Shit tier scripts focused on contemporary politics. Personally i think a female Doctor could have worked out. Michelle Gomez was great as Missy AKA the master so i see no reason to blame the decadence on stuff like sex or race. Specially considering it´s never been an issue before. Like nobody ever made a fuss about Captain Jack or Martha Jones.
Honestly i blame it entirely on stuff like a time traveling racist going back in time to prevent a woman from sitting on a bus, solving Donna´s brain not being able to process the information that was melting her brain with a non binary pun or terms like bi-generation. It´s all just to cringy and embarrassing and immersion breaking.
The writing used to be kind of cleaver on it´s own way and the focus on the time traveling adventures made it fun to watch. Not to mention nobody needed a Dalek to have a Hitler mustache or Cybermen to use scythes and hammers to understand what they were supposed to represent. Abandoning subtlety and subtext really took it´s tool.
Best I can do is bring back Tennant (again).
It would be nice if they ended the show by going back to one of the Doctor's earliest incarnations. But which I mean, the little black refugee girl we saw in the Timeless Child
History was a whitewash
No
For me Doctor Who utterly died when they made him a woman. Everything I have got through osmosis about the show since then seems, even for the standards of things now, insanely butchered to the level it seems like parody. At this point, if anything, I feel relief that the show has finally been put out of its misery.
That's a writing issue, not a Capaldi issue, and that scene is so fucking ignorable.
I never said anything about Capaldi being bad, I implied the writer of that line should get fucked
What went wrong?
we can talk about wokeshit, and that is an issue. but I stopped watching the show when Jenna Coleman left because the writing was so fucking terrible when capaldi was on. It wasn't capaldi's fault, he did really well on the episodes that were written well, but the majority of capaldi episodes were ass
What went wrong?
everything after capaldi
My favourite Doctor Who tends to change from time to time (apart from Tennant, I just find him too cringe now). But I honestly believe every single Doctor Who story would be improved just by having Capaldi as Doctor Who
it's moffat's crush on her that killed the show
which means you're also liable
What went wrong?
Communism.
(((Disney))) strikes again.
Specifically gay space communism
Kek. Just imagine.
Just in: RTD confirms new season of Doctor Who helmed by series aumni Tom Baker
"I believe it'll reinvigorate and reenergise the fanbase!" - Davis
But what is Mr TARDIS saying? He's a big queer so he must love what RTS is doing
the writing was bad when she was still on the show in that last season with capaldi, but I could kind of get through it. I couldn't get through the first 10 mins with the black girl
They had a popular formula with Tennant and Smith. but then they needed to make the doctor a woman and black for some reason
I'm not even sure it was Disney this time
ME DAVIS IS FOOKING GONZO?
Like nobody ever made a fuss about Captain Jack or Martha Jones.
because jack was charismatic and martha was cute
They actively helped to finance it though. They'll have fully supported it becoming pozzed to fuck and would say nothing when the viewership got worse and worse.
The Doctor needs to be an attractive white man or else the tumblrinas dont care
Doctor Who Gives a Fuck
classic science fiction
Nurse What left his Companion to die because he was too busy 'getting snowmanned' by a noble guy in Victorian England.
Martha being black was never used as a major plot point or referenced constantly. Modern RTD would have had her defeat the master with black power
This, you can find interviews with him nearly two decades ago and Gatwa was definitely always his vision, but shockingly the studio tardwrangled him into obedience.
Or in other words because they were actual characters with individual traits and personalities and not tokens for social issues.
When I say TOTAL
I really truly mean
TOTAL
CLARA
DEATH
I've not watched an episode of Nu Who
Bro you should seriously watch episode called 'Dot and Bubble'.
I guarantee you that you have never seen anything like that. It's like Anon Babble shitpost.
Good
Wait, so they believe that children were watching this?
I've never met a modern Doctor Who fan who was sane.
Goes to show that we don't care about representation as long as you don't get preachy about it.
I was even willing to give the female doctor a fair shot. The way they did it was solid. With Capaldi being old and tired and refusing to go on. Then regenerates as a woman for the first time. A fresh perspective for a doctor who had become jaded.
But then her episodes were the preachiest shit I've ever seen. Especially the fucking Rosa Parks episode.
wait what? they made an episode where the doctor has gay sex and lets someone die to have gay sex?
Martha being black was never used as a major plot point
Shakespeare wanted to fuck her because he liked black chicks. when they went to the past didn't they always dress her up as a maid too or was that just like 1 or 2 episodes? I remember her being worried about racism in the past and then will shakespeare said he has jungle fever and wanted to fuck her black ass
There was one time I remember it being brought up and it was when Tennant lost his memory and she was stuck as the colored help in a WWI era boarding school who nobody took seriously. It worked then. They couldn't pull it off now.
that scene is so fucking ignorable.
You are the reason we are where we are.
I've been saying it's heading for cancellation ever since Tennant's return & Ncuti Gatwa's announcements happened, over three years ago. This is a shocker to nobody with an IQ above 80.
honestly, the revival wasn't as good as people remember it. it had some great episodes don't get me wrong, but a lot of cringey shit too and it was carried hard by other writers. Moffat's run has aged a lot better despite its colder reception at the time, and will go down in history as the better series.
you're missing out, World Enough and Time/The Doctor Falls is peak Who. the series shod have ended there though.
I forgot about Family of Blood. You're both right. Though again Martha doesn't resolve the issue with her blackness
they made an episode where the doctor has gay sex and lets someone die to have gay sex?
TLDR there is an episode where Doctor is too busy getting it on with some lord to instead of taking care of invasive shapeshifting bodysnatchers. They kill his companion and this is reversed at the end of episode due to complete asspull that had nothing to do with him.
Gatwa season is fucking wild man.
The main problem Doctor Who has now is that a whole generation was raised to think that the Tennant-era slop was what the show is, or is supposed to be, whereas that coudln't be further from the truth.
As soon as the show started to get back to it's roots with Capaldi (mean with that kind of actor in the role, not nessecarily everything else), the new generation who had been raised to think the Doctor was suppsoed to be some young bleeding heart fetish fuel fell off. Then the BBC shat the bed with Chinballs and RTD came back decades after 2005 with an ego the size of a planet and shat the bed a second time.
In other words, for the last 20 years no fucker has had any real idea of what the show is supposed to be. And so no wonder it's starting to fail on its arse.
I fucking love Doctor Who, which is why I fucking hate Doctor Who. Because I'm a real fan. Real fans know the show CAN be good but hardly ever IS. And when it is, it's because the right writer writes the right story for the right reasons- to make a good fucking fantasy/sci-fi/horror Doctor Who story. Not for whatever other fucking reason they want to get some lazy bullshit on the TV.
So yeah, fuck this show. it needs to leave now whilst the climate is all "muh culture wars" and come back when that's blown over. And if it doesn't blow over, then good; it shouldn't come back. I'm fine with that. The legacy has been ruined enough already. Let it rest in peace.
I mean, I haven't watched a single episode of Doctor Who since that episode. I jumped right off the train at that very moment and I don't really feel a pressing need to come back regardless of who they cast. I don't keep track of it anymore, and don't really give a shit whether it succeeds in the future.
Call me when they get a Doctor who goes into a lengthy tirade to remind the watchers that the only people in history who have mattered since the Bronze Age are white Europeans and we'll talk.
The trans youth.
The focus went from sci-fi and adventure to being all about political messaging. Also fans of the 2005 version becoming writers. The Doctor is no longer an intelligent alien renaissance man just a mouth piece for whoever is writing the episode. The change is noticible in the costume selection. The Doctor isn't dressed like a professional but like a retarded child in 13's case or a zesty nigga on a night out in 15's. Say what you will about 05 but it did have fun and memorable episodes and aliens. The first proper episode we got for 15 involved talking babies, a booger monster and a heavy handed message about abortion and refugees. People want fun when watching TV and modern writers don't know what fun is.
Eh, whatever RTD said in interviews, unless I've missed something all we saw on screen was a walking Davros from earlier in the timeline in a charity short which even the Doctor suggested was non-canon
I told you the show is dead years ago.
Chibnall heavily crippled the show, his episodes were not only the television equivalent of the color beige (dunked in feces) but they were also lore-destroying nonsense. But that was okay because if NuWho went for a good lead actor backed up by a good showrunner who wipes the slate clean - NuWho could have still been salvaged.
RTD being announced was a massive red flag, because it indicated there's no good succession plan, no fresh blood, no new ideas. But hey maybe he still had the magic touch? No, he immediately started leaning into his worst impulses (without anyone to stop him this time) and surrounded himself with cronies & enablers.
RTD's choice of Ncuti Gatwa as the Doctor confirmed that RTD no longer understood the appeal or essence of the character of the Doctor (or perhaps he never did?).
RTD's choice to bring back the Tennant Doctor and grant him a new regeneration not only completely ruined the show's half-a-century tradition of regeneration - it was also indicative of extreme desperation in terms of brand perception and viewership.
To top it all off, RTD's new episodes have been steaming garbage he pathetically shields with the guise of twee parody, instead of writing something he truly believes in. The'yre just more lore-destroying, poorly written, performative visionless slop. Anyone who thinks the Ncuti episodes are good is a flesh automaton and I do not believe they are sentient, same as Whittaker's stuff.
History will remember Classic Who and NuWho (2005-2017). Notice I said 2017, because anyone that's actually sentient and has the light in their eyes recognizes NuWho's essence 'disappeared' starting with series 11, everything since then has just been a corpse of a show, caked in makeup embarrassingly being paraded around as if it's still alive.
I don't think you know what "hard confirmation" is
yeah that's the reason
They went out of their way to not make Jodie sexy at all. A female Doctor could work but they made her a fucking sperg. For all of NuWho they made the Doctor a sex symbol. With constant romance plots and people overtly wanting to fuck him. Then we get a female Doctor and it all gets turned to zero. There's tons of humor that can come from a gender bender Doctor plenty of interesting situations you can put her in, they could even explore some gender issues. But they did none of that and just focused on racist tike traveling rockabilly and retconning the lore. To this day I still think Hayley Atwell should've been 13. Agent Carter with a TARDIS would've been a lot better.
2005 season was awful
He means the fujos will be forced to grow up and get laid and not be cat ladies
Eccleston
Fucking sucked with his overacting
martha's concerns were also fairly realistic. I think she only went to the past 4 times. she Shakespeare one where she is worried about racism but then everyone just wants to fuck her because she is hot. the dalek one where they aren't really around normal people that much and the family of blood one where she is a maid. I guess the other part you could argue is that martha was cute so it wouldn't be that weird that someone would want to fuck her and not care she was black and it isn't like they did the
oh no everyone was black and gay everyone lied
like the most they did was saying Shakespeare was down to fuck a hot black chick
As soon as the show started to get back to it's roots with Capaldi
the capaldi stuff was written fucking terrible. now maybe it was written terrible because it was written for tennant and matt smith and not capaldi but the dude had to sit through a bunch of really poorly written episodes
shame capaldi didn't have a competent writer
The stupidest fucking thing about bringing Tennant back is that there was a perfectly good human David Tennant living in an alternate universe with Rose. It would have explained why he had aged and why he was there at all, rather than just "Well I guess I'm this one again".
Now we have three fucking individual copies of the one Doctor running around.
Capaldi had some truly retarded episodes, but I'll die on the hill that Heaven Sent was the best single episode of the show ever put on screen. If the entire show ended on that cliffhanger it would have been great.
Capaldi had two competent writers (Moffat and Mathieson), the problem is that basically every other writer in that era was dogshit and produced total turds. The overall amount of talent in the writing room visibly degraded over time as the revival went on.
just as a reminder to foreigners, this man has a career because he made "queer as folk"
Doctor who's been bad since the reboot, which had 2 decent seasons before beginning the grand culling of writers. I think the tumblr era fandom craze really created this insane shift for the fanbase, going from only nerdy fags watching it, to actually gay fags and mentally ill fat teenage women who didn't shower. I was in HS during the peak fez era and my god the people who discovered this show and made it their entire life within 2 weeks of discovering it were the most greased up, putrid hogs of all time. They also loved to be extremely vocal, despite being the minority. Funny how that snowballs into globo homo so easily, should have bullied them. Anyways, you take that new age shart tier fandom and mix it with showrunners that are *way* too involved with the online "f*ndom" and you get new era who.
Name one episode during the Capaldi series that is worse than Love & Monsters.
Really, Moff should have stopped asking Mark Gatiss to come back. Each of his 12th episodes are rancid.
Especially the fucking Rosa Parks episode.
That's where I dropped it, it felt like a shitpost parody by someone who'd only ever read about Doctor Who. I don't even care about culture war nonsense, it was just cringe and weirdly inappropriate.
Forest of the Night, Sleep No More.
t. Capaldi fan.
Also Love & Monsters is far from the worst RTD story.
Hell Bent is kino and I'm tired of pretending it's not.
You're right, it's tied between Voyage of the Damned and The End of Time, whenever he gets way too fart sniffy and over indulgent
a retarded premise
Wut.
Honestly let it die, the amount of faggots (here included) that were whinging for the return of RTD should bear some of the responsibility. He can’t write for shit, even under Tennant he had retarded plots and resolutions (let’s not talk about the fucking messiah Doctor). It had a twenty year revival, it had a semi-decent run, now let it die under the helm of that fat fucking poofter.
i enjoyed all of those
I liked Sleep No More. If only because of the found footage horror vibe. Felt very unique.
I read some people talking about X-Men comics this week basically saying 'Why would you still be reading if you weren't left-wing?'. And with X-Men they try to make the point that 'It was always about minorities' which completely misses the point that if you force examples of EVERY single type of oppressed person to the forefront then you're completely removing the point of it being a metaphor.
the amount of faggots (here included) that were whinging for the return of RTD should bear some of the responsibility.
I almost wish there was some form of penance for my sin.
t. zoomer who grew up on NuWho
the capaldi stuff was written fucking terrible
>the show started to get back to it's roots with Capaldi (mean with that kind of actor in the role, not nessecarily everything else),
queer as folk
I remember watching this as a kid and seeing CIA from TDKR having gay sex with people
fpbp
With the DonnaDoctor you could have also had a Doctor finally be ginger with the Donna genes expressing themselves, Tennant could have just kept his colour from Good Omens. There'd have been a few issues bringing him back though, if you have to have Tennant back at all. He's not *the* Doctor, Jodie's already started regenerating and Ncuti's not available for much filming for the specials, and The Christmas Invasion and Twice Upon a Time have already been done.
You'd also have to remind the audience who/what he is, explain what he's been up to and why he's back, bring back Rose Tyler with him or explain why she's not around then give him and/or Rose another send-off, all within a few specials, while still setting up for Ncuti.
No. Cause this is what I'm gonna do. I'm gonna SACK Russell T Davies. I'm gonna SACK Jane Tranter, and then SACK Phil Collinson and SACK Julie Gardner, and then, just to finish off, I'm gonna wipe every last STINKING episode OUT OF THE ARCHIVE!
i liked the original RTD run a lot but i had no hope for his return and never even entertained watching any of the episodes
What went wrong?
Zest status?
You are correct.
I remember reading about how the show was actually doing really well in the past few years. Absolute cope.
It's a shame. Ten and eleven were really good. The actor for twelve was great as well, but the writing started to go downhill.
The first season of Matt Smith was master class.
Mohamed also felt that the underlying racism shown by characters in "Dot and Bubble" was the most important part of the episode, but wished for such matters to be raised by a non-white writer in the future.[10]
I love it when they bend over backwards to appeal to this ideology, and it's never enough
The best thing about Dot and Bubble is the character's racism is justified and shared by the Doctor.
If you're bugchaser in London, and you're bored with monkeypox and AIDS, and you want the next big African cannibal homo plague, he's the man to talk to.
Capaldi, Bill and Nardole were kino and we were robbed of them. The Pilot is one of the best episodes of Doctor Who, it's close to perfect.
If the show had any fans, it probably wouldn't be getting canceled.
What went wrong?
I commented in one of the recent threads exactly why the show is in the shitter and I got banned from it. A big part of why Doctor Who is dead is because the audience doesn't want it to better, they just kick out the people who want it to be better and pretend nothing's wrong.
so we're going to cast this black guy, he's also a flaming homosexual and, oh yes, also he's a fucking Rwandan immigrant
If these "people" did not exist you could not make them up.
2019
Xhe is positively normal by current year standards.
The remaining audience only care about owning the chuds.
I have that reaction gif too. I've always used it as
Adjusting my suit because I got a boner
Interesting to see it used otherwise.
ive only watched 3 or 4 episodes of this show from past seasons...
where would you suggest a newcomer to start the show? should i watched a few of the old vintage seasons or start straight with the 200's reboot? and which season should i stop or skip?
Doctor Who's not cancelled. Don't be stupid. It's only a bad season. Just watch.
No.
One little bad season. Come on.
I guess you don't know me so well. I refuse.
Watch. Just watch. Please. Please! Just watch. Come on.
And see the rest of the show produced by you?
You've got to. Come on. It can't end like this. You and me, all the Who we've watched. Sutekh. Remember Sutekh? And David Tennant. We're the only Doctor Who left. There's no one else. WATCH!
How about that... I win... Will it stop, Russell? The shit writing. Will it stop?
The only one I ever saw was the Matt Smith one with Amy Pond and Rory the cuck who waited and that other hag character. I kinda liked the show even despite its cloying sentimentality and excessive melodrama
Thank you God. Now please punish ALL fags and Dykes.
Tennant only has truly retarded episodes
He's talking about incels
Pertwee's first season or the first season of the revival are usually the best places to start
Someone on here made a great point, either in /who/ or /trek/ - about people who are fans of a *thing* vs fans of a *show*.
Fans of a thing will watch your show. They’ll rave “THERES MY THING!!” And then? They leave, going on to find that thing elsewhere, again.
RTD didn’t bring any fans to Doctor Who in his second run. He bought fans of a *thing*. In order to keep them coming back, he had to ruin the actual show. Saturate the show.
He disrespected the canon, then the fans, then the show itself.
I’m not even sure how the BBC allowed it.
le male presenting
I know this is science fiction, but stop making shit up.
le toxic masculinity
Goes double for you.
writing room
NOT A THING RETARD
(actually chibbers introduced it for series 11, first thing they came up with was what if there was another doctor which turned into fugitive of the judoon (which of course is series 12 so who knows what they really did))
because the show was about their characters - NOT THEIR ACTORS.
You think none of the original Doctor’s actors were gay in real life? But they weren’t playing a gay character on the show. That’s called ACTING. I think everyone fucking lost track of what that is.
Agreed. RTD only came back to drag Tennant’s doctor out of the closet.
NuWHO's problem is that it no longer has anyone in the audience with any energy or room left to stand up and say it sucks. The fact it's still kinda shite after Chibnall (but in a different way) has demoralized all the fans who had hopes of the show's improvement, most just got up and went to watch or do something else. So now the only remaining vocal NuWHO fans are sycophants who are obsessed with praising the show, because everyone else either can't be arsed to open up anymore or the show has adopted patterns that make it verboten to criticize it.
I'll explain this by comparing NuWHO to the The Flash from CW.
The Flash show started ok, for CW standards at least (let's call this NuWHO S1-S10). Then it went into the toilet for a bit (let's call this Chibnall) and a sizeable portion of the viewers loudly criticized the show's decline in quality. Then it went through a very brief "revival" period where it showed signs of perhaps being good again as if the criticism was heard (RTD announcement and initial hype)...... before rapidly turning into shite again (RTD2 era). At that point the people who previously protested about the Flash's lack of quality just gave up and pissed off forever without saying much at all, not watching the show anymore. From that point on the show's reception seemed overwhelmingly positive despite the viewership dropping off a cliff and episode quality being crap, why? Because all the viewers who can't stand trash simply left, leaving the fanbase full of sycophants who'll eat up any Flashslop and loudly cheer at everything hoping to convince themselves and each other that they're having a good time.
Sound familiar? NuWHO is in the same spot now. Reditors and twitterfags are cheering for the show, all 500-1000 of them them in total. Because everyone else left, and everyone else left for a reason. So I hope RTD appreciates the 90% of audience scores he's gonna get in his final series because it's about to get cancelled.
people who are fans of a *thing* vs fans of a *show*.
Fans of a thing will watch your show. They’ll rave “THERES MY THING!!” And then? They leave, going on to find that thing elsewhere, again.
RTD didn’t bring any fans to Doctor Who in his second run. He bought fans of a *thing*. In order to keep them coming back, he had to ruin the actual show. Saturate the show.
/got/hotd/ Anon here. That's what happened with our shit too.
Why does Capaldi look like David Lynch in these shots?
You need to grow up and center your viewing habits around the petty social games of your betters!
You need to grow up and realize that you are literally the vapid, degenerate, tyrannical nobles who frequently get portrayed in fantasy. It's almost a 1/1 comparison.
The show is really hampered by its rating and needed to start marketing towards older viewers with a higher standard for writing
I got just past Iris being trapped in the mirror universe (which was all cut short by covid?) - where in your Flash eras was that?
It's essentially a form of survivorship bias. Sure, there's 2 million or so viewers still devoted enough to watch and praise the new RTD2 seasons no matter what. But focussing only on that base ignores the far greater magnitude of viewers, both casuals and fans alike, who've increasingly given up on the show over these past several years. Yet the move consistently seems to be to pander more and more to this devout viewership minority while dismissing any criticism out of hand as tabloid fearmongering or toxic bigotry. That's never going to make the show popular again. It certainly doesn't make it any better.
is heaven sent the one only he was in? that as good but most of his episodes were ass
tennantfaggot
What went wrong?
Endless DEI shit. Faggotry. Insistence on inserting modern political talking points/indoctrination into le light entertainment sci-fi show.
the robinhood one or the first one with the black girl or the moon abortion one
retarded
love & monsters is worse
journey's end is worse
midnight is worse
JNT
RTD
It's always some faggot ruining things
in a few YEARS the fans of the show will grow up and then they'll BRING IT BACK
I highly doubt the future Muslims and Indians of the UK will give a shit about Dr Who to revive it.
We could abolish the concept of ratings boards and they would still produce ugly, hypocrisy-ridden sanctimonious slop that nobody wants to watch.
This is an issue with how the people who are running the show view the world, plain and simple.
doesn't change the fact capaldi had shitty writers
midnight was based you gay retard. 99% of capaldi episodes were ass
Kids do not gravitate toward zesty, flamboyant main characters. They like cool and suave heroes. Characters they want to imitate.
Capaldi was the best actor to ever perform the Doctor
my fucking ass
Tom Baker >>>>>>>>biggest power gap you ever saw>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> everybody else
midnight was based you gay retard.

FAGGOT
Very kino first regeneration

That's the poojeeta from Strike Back
I would give it to her brutally hard
Torchwood was mature rated and was just childish in its edginess
As a Timelord I am non-binary
You are presenting as male so shut up and listen. A female presenting nonbinary is speaking.
Who wrote this?
Apologize, Anon Babble.
I think I'm addicted to porn. I just saw the words "free use" and started laughing
You can take any speech from any Doctor and imagine Capaldi delivering it as 12 and no matter how good it is it instantly becomes better.
You lot up there, you're all whizzing about, it's really quite distracting. Could you all just stay still a minute because---I AM TALKING!!
There, much better, now, then - question of the hour is, "Who's got the Pandorica?" Answer: I do. Next question: "Who's coming to take it from me?"
No? Come on, look at me! No plan, no backup, no weapons worth a damn... oh, yes, and something else I don't have: Anything to lose! So, if you're sitting up there in your silly little space ships with all your silly little guns, and you've got any plans on taking the Pandorica tonight... just remember who's standing in your way! Remember every black day I ever stopped you! And then, do the smart thing...
Let someone else try first.
Dude could read a phone book and I'd listen
Millennial cringe dialogue.
>in a few YEARS the fans of the show will grow up and then they'll BRING IT BACK
Makes sense. By then the UK will be an Islamic state and you'll love the emasculation of your former country and people or you'll be beheaded. Enjoy UKucks.
Good. Fuck Doctor Who and the nerds who actually watch that shite.
You didn't deserve what Davies did to your backstage backstage, I'm so so sorry
Good night sweet prince ;-;7
Women and gay niggers
Sane people dropped Doctor What about ten years ago.
anyone else kinda sad/relieved? like watching a friend you care about suffer for years from some painful illness then die peacefully. like im gonna miss it and wish it went out on a higher note but- at least the suffering is over. my dumb ass used to cosplay from this and have a tattoo im embarrassed to explain to people, like this was a major aspect of my personality ive moved on from years ago...
I'M GOING DOWNTOWN IN BROWNSVILLE
shame capaldi didn't have a competent writer
Mother-fucking-THIS!
the robinhood one
The Robin Hood episode did the best job of capturing how Capaldi should have been. Petty, competitive while trying to play it cool for the pretty girl who he can't be with but doesn't want to see with anyone else. The dialogue between RH and Who really worked with the sniping which played to Capaldi's strengths. Wasn't this also the episode which started with the rock guitar on the tank opening?
bring Tennant back
you only do it to put his beloved doctor through a humiliation ritual
he does his best anyway and it's still watchable
follow him up with the gayest man alive and a negro to boot
make every episode full of trannies, crossdressers and faggot shit
act shocked when people stop watching
What was the plan here?
oh dear oh dear
Gay nigger from outer space
Wasn't this also the episode which started with the rock guitar on the tank opening?
Nah that was the Davros one, The Magician's Apprentice. Which for some reason filtered people really hard.
the BBC's plan was to bring back "the fan favourite showrunner" to revitalise interest in the brand. davies' plan was to leverage their desperation to be free of the restrictions they put him under previously, because he's a creepy sex pest.
SHE DIDN'T EVEN HAVE A CHANCE
A female doctor eradicates the entire geeky male audience and is a terrible idea promoted only by simps and trannies and is one of the main reasons feminised Star Wars and gay Dr Who died.
rock guitar on the tank
Gee I wonder why people were filtered
You'll be studying the Western Left's descent into madness at that point.
10 puts on 3D glasses and starts jumping around like a retard
this is fine
11 puts on a fez and starts babbling babytalk
this is fine
12 puts on shades, a David Bowie shirt, and plays guitar on a tank
wtf this show is so childish now.
Hey look, your hero agrees with our bullshit, so you have to agree, too! Also, people who take your stance are villains in our show! You don't want to be a villain, right?
Their reasoning that worked until the march of neoliberalism finally reached a point where they're completely open about the fact that they're trying to destroy western civilization and hate normal heterosexual white men.
Also, Tennant is 100% on board with this. He's got his.
The turnover at a place like the BBC is insane, fhe decision makers are now all people who remember the good old days of watching RTD Who as teens so they gave him carte blanc on this assuming he would bring the magic back and not sabotage the show on purpose
Also this turnover is why Ecceleston is a confirmed dramafag, any higher ups at the BBC would were involved when whatever faggy schism he had would have been gone by 2009
RTDfags are the cancer of Doctor Who and I'm glad he's killed the show.
Gah why do I love desi girls with big boobs, bros?
Don't get me wrong I know Tennant is just like the rest of them, I was just saying it was still sorta watchable with him because of his talent.
his talent
what talent
going GAAAH!!!
HURRFFFF *shows teeth, bulges eyes out*
Okay weirdo thanks for stopping by.
Only the Cartmel Master Plan can save /who/ now
real fans hate tenet.
No
I just pretend that the show ended with the Doctor Falls, and we never know who Capaldi regenerated into.
hate is too weak a word for what he deserves.
I don't hate Tennant, I just hate the effect that he and
*sniff* *sob* I DUN WANNA GO!
had on people for the next 15 fucking years
In new behind-the-scenes show Doctor Who Unleashed, showrunner Russell T Davies indicated that Davros’ classic look will not return, as it ‘associated disability with evil.’ Davies explained: ‘We had long conversations about bringing Davros back, because he’s a fantastic character. Time and society and culture and taste have moved on, and there’s a problem with the old Davros: he’s a wheelchair user who is evil. I had problems with that. A lot of us on the production team did too, associating disability with evil. Trust me, there’s a very long tradition of this.‘I’m not blaming people in the past at all, but the world changes. And when the world changes, Doctor Who has to change as well. So we made the choice to bring back Davros without the facial scarring and without the wheelchair – or his support unit, which functions as a wheelchair.
‘I say, this is how we see Davros now. This is what he looks like. This is 2023. This is our lens. This is our eye. Things used to be black and white; they’re not anymore. Davros used to look like that, and now he looks like this. We are absolutely standing by that.’
Fuck RTD with a woman's pussy.
There's only one path forward...
Doctor Who Parody: Dalek Who
m.youtube.com
Time traveling Dalek that fixes history according to its own moral code.
Another option is to rewrite WHO HISTORY by one simple add-on... DALEKS ARE TARDISES.
Daleks changed history and created the first Tardis, eventually incorporating a BlackHole timejump source inside the body cavity of the Daleks. Daleks eventually scaled up their bodies to become a Tardis Control Room for Timelords to use, every Tardus is a disguised SENTIENT DALEK.
But you say, that's a maximally shitty retcon for no logically consistent reason.
PAUSE... CALM DOWN... CONSIDER...
If Daleks are Tardises, then Time Lords ABSOLUTELY CANNOT destroy the Dalek race for any reason. Because if they do so, the Time Lords can no longer comfortably travel through time & space. This links Daleks to Time Lords like a hated relative that cannot be ignored at a family reunion. Ultimately it makes Daleks a Symbiote that is basically bulletproof against any Time Lord schemes.
Furthermore, look at the exterior of the Dalek with all the spheres embedded. Now look at the interior of Tardis control rooms, notice anything familiar?
The Fiveish Doctors thing that Peter Davison did in 2013 remains the best part of nuWho
This is all because Davies was mindbroken by his husband who was dying of AIDS reduced to a crippled mess in a wheelchair. This is also why he's obsessed with putting characters in wheelchairs everywhere, including the ramp for the TARDIS.
David Tennent as Scrooge in Ducktales is better then every episode of Doctor Who that ever existed, not surprising people finally caught on
if you only knew how bad things really are
Cant we just get a white guy who travels in space and time and fights aliens?
the show peaked and ended with Capaldi. the kino Doctor.
The Doctor reveals to the cripple his new TARDIS is wheelchair-accessible
Then doesn't let her in the TARDIS
What did he mean by this?
He looks right and he acted well but he had awful scripts which left him little to work with.
NPC response
yeah. I actually quit finally in the middle of his run out of boredom.
he looked the part for the first time in ages but i can't remember a single plot line from his era.
this poster right here, he got it right
same situation for me
just nosedived when it became the clara show and without clara it was just sad as shit
poor writing to lead into capaldi
i nope'd out after 1 ep of bill
Hi, I'm Doom. I'm the universe's greatest assassin.
Who looked at Davros and thought people in wheelchairs are evil? Stupid Taff queer cunt
