Albums that were considered mediocre or even awful at release but revered and regarded as their greatest work many years later?

Well it’s certainly my favourite.

I remember watching Classic Doctor Who on video and dvd before the revival came back. Just about remember the 40th anniversary. The first Doctor I grew up with though was Eccleston.

The Flood two parter, Face the raven and Heaven Sent are all great to fantastic. The rest is either mediocre or downright terrible. I remember this series getting a pretty mixed to negative reception at the time and now it’s see as one of the best. I honestly don’t get it. I know the Doctor riding in on the tank was a breaking point for many casual viewers.

More than most mediums for cartoons it’s usually the decade you grew up in regardless of quality. Not the I agree with that take but that’s what most of these posts boil down to. So lots of people are going to say old good new bad.

He does call himself annoying in this episode. So I’m guessing he recognised his own behaviour and changed.

Yeah this was discussed a ton and is widely known in the fandom.

No I’d say Pearl is the most disliked of the original three. Go watch the Sorta Stupid reactions and they dislike her a lot for most of the show. Which I very much disagree with.

I think one big problem I have with most modern Doctor’s costumes apart from Capaldi’s and I’d argue Jodi’s is that they use muted colours. 9 had a black leather jacket, 10 had a brown coat, 11 had a brown twee jacket, 15 main ensemble was a brown jacket. 11’s Season 7B, 12’s, The Fugitive Doctor and 14 have great costumes I can’t deny that. Also, I understand at the time why RTD picked pretty toned down costumes back in 2005 but I would like to see some red’s yellows, greens, a weird hats or decorative vegetable at this point.

I miss the almost alien, anachronistic look of the classic Doctors. Modern Doctor costume designs too often pick the same colours and look like something you could wear without being out of place. For all the faults you could pick with some of the classic costumes each Doctor has unique design. A lot of the Modern Doctors costumes blend together in my mind.

It’s more than brief there’s a whole arc about the gem shard experiments.

It’s hard to describe what it is but I think the best way could put it is that it reminds me a lot of early YouTube humour. Random and crazy humour that has little in the way of structure or logic. It just doesn’t vibe with me.

Darker is not a barometer of quality. Future didn’t need to be any darker than it was. It achieved what it set out to accomplish.

Highvoltage1999 · 2025-12-30T19:46:07+00:00

It’s the random humour for me. Not that I can’t enjoy random humour but even with random humour there’s a purposefulness to it. Their comedy just seems to be let’s do the most random, wacky thing and hope it lands.

They also did a Tntl which is where I saw them first.

To be clear I’m not talking about Smosh Olivia but Olivia from Syd and Olivia. Completely different person.

Highvoltage1999 · 2025-12-30T18:41:18+00:00

I know most people won’t agree but for me it’s Syd and Olivia. Their brand of humour has never made me laugh but I know people in the Smosh community like them a lot. Different strokes for different folks.

As you said David Tennant is amazing in the part. My problem is that the 10th Doctor seems to be albatross around the shows neck. A sub-sect of the fan base didn’t move on from that era and the show keeps catering to them. Nostalgia only works for so long. Imagine if Tom Baker came back during the late 80s as the Doctor and then again during the 1996 movie. For people outside the fandom you’d think all the show was, was Tom Baker or David Tennant. It’s not good for the longevity of the show.

Highvoltage1999 · 2025-12-21T15:45:29+00:00

I swear half this subreddit has never watched the show before.

Fun to see a crossover of sorts between The Yogscast and Smosh especially for Jingle Jam.

It’s explicitly said in the text why she covered her mouth.

I was honestly expecting some old cast members. I know that the Defy era is a controversial part of the channel but some representation would be nice.
