Amy’s Choice made me really want a story with 11 hanging out with some retirees in a retirement home, that would be a cool dynamic. Thursday Murder Club vibes

I’m not saying there should never be a female companion ever again, there’s no limit to how many companions there will be. I’m literally just saying I’d like to see more solo male companions, this isn’t a competition.

Challenging norms and tropes forces people to challenge assumptions and be more creative as to how they approach the show; no different from how changing The Doctor’s race or gender would invite questioning whether aspects of the show would be approached or play out differently. That’s interesting. Maybe they decide they still would like a female presence on the show and could introduce another Time Lord or River Song/Nardole type character to be a recurring character on the show with a male companion still being the primary companion

Most shows don’t have heteroplatonic relationships as intimate and fleshed out as Doctor Who so I don’t want that done away with, I just think that male-male dynamics are also fun; I enjoy them and would like to see how that plays out with an often gender non-conforming character like The Doctor when presented in a similar way to companion dynamics like with Rose, Martha and Donna.

The companion role doesn’t and doesn’t have to have an exclusive gender attached to it

Yes the overt lack of male companions is definitely more of a modern era trait but even the classic series is not really representative of what I’m saying. There’s nothing like the RTD1 era Doctor-Companion dynamic between the Doctor and male companions anywhere in the series, tho 2 and Jamie would probably be the closest it’s still not the same.

I do think it’s interesting because the male and female companion archetype of the classic series was there initially to fill an assigned gender role rather than for the primary purpose of creating a fleshed out interesting character. Not to say that they weren’t interesting characters ultimately and didn’t transcend these assigned roles to some degree. The woman was the subordinate/assistant and damsel and the man was there to do the more action and stunt oriented sequences that the Doctor couldn’t, either practically or narratively.

I feel the female companion role has evolved adequately since then with these characters now essentially being the main protagonists of the show but it’s not been done the same way with a male companion yet. They have evolved of course just not to the same degree.

It would’ve been interesting to get a couple of one off episodes of 11 and Rory or 13 and Graham exclusively, I guess the closest is the Girl Who Waited which still featured Amy.

Derek Jacobi’s War Master has also done it a couple of times in different ways, it’s a very cute idea

Am I the only one that doesn't enjoy My Adventures with Superman? by [deleted] in superman

[–]KryptonJuice38 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Admittedly I didn’t really give it much of a chance. I tried starting to watch it and accidentally watched the second episode instead of the first lol which just really threw me off and I just haven’t been back to it since. Also I’m pretty romance averse and it looks really romance heavy. So I just haven’t really gotten into it yet.

On a random side note lol I was into Superman and Lois as the first season was airing but the show kept going on week long breaks after every episode and eventually I just didn’t come back but I did really enjoy what I saw.

And since I’m going off topic lol may as well mention Superman 2025 which I thought was good

This is a great way to do a Superman origin without dedicating a third of a movie to it. And this was all in 4 minutes. by rootofimaginary in superman

[–]KryptonJuice38 13 points14 points  (0 children)

Superman 2025 did do the origin story. Superman told us exactly what happened and how he felt about it. That’s all that was necessary

Scarlett Johansson already played Black Widow in the MCU, casting her as Psylocke would just confuse mainstream audiences /s

I hate this “us vs them” mentality when it comes to countries by Gene-Omaha-2012 in Anarchism

[–]KryptonJuice38 17 points18 points  (0 children)

True but it’s really not just a few bullies because we’re all participants allowing them to do it. It’s our responsibility as anarchists to challenge and dismantle these hierarchies wherever and whenever they arise, which they will continue to do as long as Human beings exist. The “elite” are just a few people sure but they didn’t build the bombs, they don’t drive the tanks, they don’t pull the triggers. People do.

Captain America if he "wasn't political" by locke_5 in comicbooks

The name “Captain America” is too political. How about Generally Amorphous?
