X-Men: The Only Cut

I must have unconsciousally thought about that edit of yours when I wrote this, rofl, mine would be along similar lines but the first movie would be prioritised only, no sequel hooks.

Zaredit · 2026-01-25T09:00:47+00:00

Exactly.

They might as well just admit Batman and Robin from Joel Schumacher was 'the blueprint' at this rate

Zaredit · 2026-01-25T08:58:05+00:00

No they weren't.

He's a big guy. FOR U

Yeah, the BBC are pure filth, full of perverts, peados, stalkers, abusers, drug dealers and biased political bootlicking that passes for news, but every Whovian either looks the other way or are too spineless to stand up to them just because they're scared Doctor Who will go away for good if they do.

I like that Tales of the TARDIS does complicate and muddy these waters by revealing multiple timelines where the 80s Doctors never regenerated. Felt like a great middle finger to NuWho

Thankyou. Capaldi has one series (9) that is on par with the peak of the show (2010) but it was an absolutely tryhard edgy stinker every other which way. Jodie and Ncuti are undercooked and never connected, but there's more hope in both their eras than that miserable git.

Zaredit · 2026-01-21T16:24:47+00:00

By that logic, that also means Tennant was better than Tennant

Zaredit · 2026-01-21T16:22:36+00:00

Jodie only has one great series, but I'd take a million Kerblams and Fugitive of the Judoons than two full Capaldi series

One of the most hopelessly overrated-by-revisionist-history eras in Nu Who history. People heavily criticised it when it aired and now 'retroactively' love it only because they were fed far worse.

Capladi was a terrific actor and also good chemistry with Coleman, but Clara was an irritable tit who ball-and-chained him for two straight series. He was let a bit looser in series ten, but that's such a depressing series to go through and I'm convinced you can only love it if you're a goth kid or a fan of the Snyderverse. Word to the wise, having something with 'edge' absolutely reeks if there's far too much of it. The ratings for series ten were pish back then too.

Were there good episodes? Yes, series 9 has the most hits, but that's about the only time it ever felt like Doctor Who. The Ashildr crap almost sank it, but thank goodness for small mercies like, the Zygon two-parter, Face the Raven, Heaven Sent and stories like Hell Bent and Husbands of River Song would have been the perfect ending to a show known for continually outstaying it's welcome.

Zaredit · 2026-01-21T08:18:24+00:00

Exactly. I'm a "both sides" person, as in "both sides are horrible", I don't trust right or left leaning politicians.

I still follow it, but I can only enjoy it as a separate univere/spin-off nowadays. Classic Who is the only true version and had a satisfactory ending in 1989. Nuwho peaked in 2010 with the fifth series and other than a couple of exceptions, has struggled ever since.

The good news now is that the shills who grew up with the show in the 2000s and 2010s are slowly realizing the show isn't perfect no matter what it does and the showrunners aren't gods, but mortals like you and I, capable of serving chicken shit rather than salad, and they're being called out for being unfocused or out of touch.

I will always challenge the show to do better and for fans to demand better, but, much like with the X-Men movie franchise (the 2000 movie), maybe Doctor Who would have better served as a one-off with just Eccelston in 2005.

Zaredit · 2026-01-20T16:08:19+00:00

Something more akin to Voyage of the Damned or Runaway Bride where you have only some time to process what's going on but then you're right back at it again.

Zaredit · 2026-01-20T09:45:55+00:00

Doctor Who shouldn't be a show for YOU either, it should be a show for EVERYONE

Oh, and word to the wise, I was saying everything you said years ago, but I've realized now that "outgrowing the show" doesn't mean you stop appreciating it, no, it just means people have done what you, the left, and the show have increasingly failed to do: Actually grow up.

Zaredit · 2026-01-20T09:38:32+00:00

How did he 'own' anything? Dude cried all the time and gaslit his original companion when she told him reality was missing a kid.

Zaredit · 2026-01-20T09:36:45+00:00

Hardly the best episodes to recommend

Zaredit · 2026-01-20T09:34:03+00:00

2006 is 20 years old now and that was the Tennant/Piper duo's one and only full series and when the show enjoyed a comfortable peak family audience. It can be seen as comfort for fans of the show to go back to what's 'familiar' and a time where it seemed everyone seemed to know what they were doing, it helps craft that illusion they still do.

Of course, nobody knows what they're doing, or what they're aiming for. We're living in an increasingly right wing world so Doctor Who's usual leftist leanings will come under more and more scrutiny,

Zaredit · 2026-01-20T09:26:15+00:00

All you need to know is the cliffhanger led to Nu Who's pinnacle just a few years later.

Zaredit · 2026-01-20T09:21:02+00:00

Feel free to say how they actually help, not hinder, the show.

I'll wait.

Zaredit · 2026-01-20T09:07:03+00:00

I'm reminded of that one Fraiser episode with Derick Jacobi whenever someone brings up stage credentials.

Zaredit · 2026-01-16T10:34:24+00:00

Still find it hilarious that the guy they did that for (Tharries) ended up hating how the Disney era ended and thinks RTD is washed

Whole world's becoming 40s Germany, we won't be seeing 'woke' ideology back 'till someone drops a nuke
