Doctor Who rant, feel free to ignore lol

Doctor Who always gets real bad when it tries to do “plot” stuff. I like it better as a weekly adventure show, that seems to be its strong suit. I just don’t understand how anyone could have liked the past few seasons. Jodie Whittaker deserved so much better than to be part of probably what is the worst written part of DW.

It’s like they literally went out of their way to ruin anything that made DW interesting and compelling by trying to add weird, stupid, kind of “chosen one” story. The best part of The Doctor is that they’re just a person - and also an almost immortal alien lol, but just a person, it could be anyone with that box, The Doctor isn’t supposed to be super important and stuff. That kinda feels like where DW fails the most, is trying to make The Doctor to be some kind of incredible superhero or something as opposed to a person who just gets into adventures with their friends.

That’s why these last few seasons were just so much worse. And it sucks even more because so many chuds and idiots are going to blame it on The Doctor being a woman or something like that, as opposed to a complete destruction of the character and their backstory. I wonder how in the world they’ll fix it, I don’t know if they even can.

#just a little rant #I love Doctor who so much but watching the Chibnall stuff just felt like a chore and was often straight up painful lmao #not to mention The Flux #what even was that??? #nothing made sense and things just happened out of nowhere #I need to rewatch it and try to chart what happens because when I binged it the first time with a friend it just #oh man #it just didn’t make any sense whatsoever #like there was some snake guy going around turning people to snakes for no reason #there was the dumb plot about the Doctor’s psudeo-mom trying to escape to another universe??? #why was any of it necessary at all? #weird crystal guy and his sister #and omg the scene revealing her also made no sense #a thing beeping in the living room and the two people are like “no let’s just ignore it #and then crystal dude shows up or something and the lady was his sister the whole time???? why what?? who are these people?? #it’s been a minute since I watched it so I don’t remember everything but my friend and I talk about it all the time lol
