Capaldi before Doctor Who.
I'm so excited to see Davina play the 17th Doctor!
>another thread of nuWho bollocks incoming
>>211809132>>211809187If troons looked half as good as this there would be vastly more acceptance for them.
how many actors who played the Doctor have done drag? other than Ncuti, that's too easy.
>>211809369Chris and Matt have done it too.
>>211809369couldn't find anything for 1-4
>>211809341Nuwho > classic who
Always makes me laugh when people try to compare a comedian in the 70s crossdressing as mockery to drag in the 21st century as a pride symbol
>>211809482https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nazp_sNS6Ac
Doctor Who was always gay and trans, bigots
>>211809492There we are. Same old shit.
>>2118093692, 3, 6, 10, 11, 12, 14, and 15 have.
2 disguised himself as a woman in the Highlanders.

>>211809568this isn't even the pie lord's final form, tuggo
what is wrong with AIggers
>>211809590no wonder they were threatening to cancel the show back then, most people who never watched classic don't realize that most of Colin Baker's era was just him finding excuses to dress in drag like this
>>211809482the chicken lady?
>>211809765Big Finish Presents The Davros Doctor
Did the Doctor ever travel to Iran before the Islamic revolution?

>>211812640Yeah, fucked Persian baddies there too.
>>211815071Persians are goodies!
Disney has dropped Doctor Who and the BBC can't afford another season. It's finally over. Reminder that nu-Who hasn't been good in a decade.
>>211817764two more weeks, trust the plan
>>2118177642017 was only 8 years ago.
>>211817764There's like a dozen things they could do to reduce the budget, and the show would probably be better for it. Just saying.
>pick a singular location for a series, and do a bunch of individual stories that tie into a larger arc>rely more heavily on pre-existing sets, costumes, props, or shoot more stuff on location around the UK>cut down on big stunts, and visual effects. Make the plots more dialogue centric>stop pissing around with meme resolutions, and shoot for 1080p, like a normal person
what would a 12th Doctor SJA episode have been like?
>>211818580Rings a lil different these days, don't it?
>>211818594RTD is secretly based???
>>211818594Just a little more grim than expected from this franchise
>>211818883It was the one time RTD remembered his VNAs roots. And it was the best thing he ever wrote for the franchise.
>>211818883it's remarkable in hindsight that it works so well, Torchwood really struggled to straddle the line between "Doctor Who but more mature" and cheap exploitative crap over the course of its original run.
>>211818580>We want ten percent of the posts of this board
>>211819671Torchwood in general really needed to be more just good stories, written for adults (like the X-Files), as opposed to "DUDE SEEEEEXXX", but still weirdly childish.
It reflects deeply on who RTD is as a human being, I think

Apologize NOW
>>211820640I'm looking forward to her audio adventures. I hope without the interference of Chibs or the BBC she can give us a more interesting Doctor. Although the Eccleston audios weren't too amazing so who knows?
>>211820640I could see how you think that, if you are trans.
>>211820838Doubt there will be anymore Eccleston audios ever as he is unlikely to do them if Piper is involved now she has returned to the show with his old job. He will doubtless see that as a great betrayal and future 9th Doctor adventures will be voiced by another actor.
>>211820640All that stuff is shit though
>>211821520He's committed to do them until June 2027. Eccleston is a professional, it's not like Billie left the show with him.
>>211820640I liked the Jeetmaster
>>211817764The decline and rot started in 2011 with S6
>>211822107I'm sure he knows that Billie is just getting some east money. Chances are she was paid more in her five seconds of screentime in the last episode than most of us earn per year.
>>211820030It's such a shame that "dude sex" was so prevalent because it's one of the things Big Finish decides is core to the show and is keen to remind you. I'm fairly sure every "among us" set opened with gay sex
>>211822924yeah, that's why actors are constantly complaining about being out of work even though you only need to be on screen for 5 seconds and say two words to make more than ยฃ20k
>>211812673Surely tardis wiki editors realise how this makes their wiki look
This is a good way to push people back to fandom if they're just canonising random fanfic pencil scribblings from some schizo
>>211812673>>211824093The sad thing is this would get a pass because the author of Kingdom Cryptiqqa bothered to get licensors approval.
They just need to learn when to stop.
People have been suffering from Doctor Who fatigue. There was too much hype with Disney+ so audience numbers dwindled.
The only way this show will ever become popular again is if people stop talking about it and stop watching it.
>>211824093Idk why they didn't take the route Trek did with the Memory Alpha/Beta split, even if Who's off-screen content is more significant to the fandom
>>211824093>>211824463>>211824801or instead of just blanket approving everything with a licence they should just do this on a case by case basis
>Get license to minor classic/book character
>Write a short story called "Tardis wiki admins are gay retarded niggers"
>Story is just the character beating the shit out of the wiki admins
>Technically canon because the character is officially licensed
>Wiki admins have no choice but to include it
>>211812627How long before they reimagine Davros as AI
They could have his developers be a rogue faction of the Klade
>>211824463Because of that page, this one exists. https://tardis.wiki/wiki/Hunters_of_Angkor_(novel)
>>211824547People have been suffering with โDoctor Who fatigueโ since about 2015. Like all long-running shows, itโs been a victim of its own success. NuWho has gone on for too long. Now the show is regularly breaking records for โleast watched episode everโ and previously-skilled writers are churning out duds. The BBC should put it to rest for at least 15 years and let someone new take it over.

so Ruby Sunday is in love with Dr Who, even though he's a homosexual
RTD says in the commentary it's another one of those "ah, it doesn't even need to be said" situations
then Ruby Sunday pops up here and there, and she's just not in love with Dr Who? are they cool now? gal pals?
YOU CHOSE TO INTRODUCE THIS SHITE INTO THE PROGRAMME, RUSSELL.
>>211826159We don't even know what TV will look like in 15 years.
Here's your new Doctor Who
>>211826159Victim of it's own success because Classic Who mogs the fuck out of NuWho. NuWho had plenty of chances to turn itself around, but RTD was hellbent on turning it in to his own personal soapbox fanfiction, then burning everything down around him when people didn't like it. Take away the retard, the franchise gets back on track.
>>211826159this didn't happen with Classic. because Classic was built to last, whereas NuWho's inital success was mostly circumstantial and based on trends. one of which being targeting young women first.
>>211826568>Classic Who mogs the fuck out of NuWhoIncorrect.
>>211826207>she's just not in love with Dr Who?In Reality War? She was 100% in love with the Doctor. That scene in the TARDIS was cuckqueen material.
>>211826719it does thoughbeit
NuNuWho is to NuWho what Hyperdrive was to post-Hiatus Red Dwarf.
>>211826905More popular doesn't mean it's more kino, and there were less channels back then.
>>211824923I feel like Gareth Roberts would be down for this
>>211826606True. In retrospect the success of Tennant was absolutely disastrous for the long term survival of the show. Following him up with Smith was just gaping the wound.
>>211826975Classic was extremely kino. Fuck yourself, ReTarD.
>>211828917The Twin Dilemma is one of the most kino classic who serials.
>>211826159no its just shit
>>211830462tru. "franchise fatigue" is always an excuse for a franchise being actively ruined, and fans turning away.
Doctor Who had a thriving loyal fanbase that stuck around for decades, right up until somewhere around 2017. Now, what changed?
>>211828917Doctors 1-4 were. 5-8 were the nu-nu-Who of Classic.
>>211826207She's a Faghag
>>211831056>Blonde bland bitch>Controversial cross dresserOh no... The prophecy is coming true. At least the Sylvester equivalent will be kino.
>>211826310I hadn't seen it before, it's a lot darker than I expected.
>>211820030to be fair it was Chibnall running the show over there for the day to day, RTD just produced.
>>211826310Big spoiler alert, I'd recommend watching Children of Earth if you haven't.. They're probably referring to how the government in Children of Earth mandates vaccinations for kids at primary schools but the real goal is to use the vaccinations as a cover to abduct the children so that they can give them to 456.
>>211830808It was always political though.
>>211831690I feel like Chibnall was told to go in a certain direction with Torchwood by RTD before finding his own voice for it. Series 2 is a big improvement.
>>211831690honestly i have a hard time believing the idea of rusty being hands-off on anything he has any power on
>>211831862if he weren't busy running the day to day of DW at the same time i'd be more inclined to believe that but i think he probably handed most of the decisionmaking off to Chibs
>>211831862By the time of Torchwood, there were like 6 Doctor Who shows running at the same time. Plus maybe Infinite Quest around the same time.
>>211831709No, I was not.
>>211831844Ah, I see you're on the 13th doctor, anon.
Stop now, it doesn't get any better.
>>211832144Infinite Quest was just a part of Totally Doctor Who
>>211832154You weren't, but I don't know what else the "rings a little different" anon could be referring to.
>>211832144>Doctor Who>Doctor Who Confidential>Torchwood>Sarah Jane Adventures>Totally Doctor WhoWhat was the sixth?
>>211829043this but unironically
>>211832208It's been that long that I forgot. Maybe I should watch Infinite Quest and Dreamland again. The only thing I really remember nowadays is that big metal bird.
>>211832365well Rusty shot some private movies with Barrowman and Tennant...
My Jordan Burling died because of the heat.
>>211830808>turning the show into a corny teenage romance soap>business as usual
>>211832365Torchwood Declassified. The Doctor Who Confidential for Torchwood.
Which Doctor has the biggest penis?
which Doctor is the best at playing basketball? hard mode: no Ncuti
>>211832476>>211832585Davison. No explanation necessary.
>>211832476Conservation of mass means that the shortest Doctor must have the largest schlong
>>211832476Seven had a notorious girth.
>>211832203R2D > Chibnall
>>211833881We need proof that Matt Smith is over 10 inches.
>>211833905He has photographic evidence.
>>211826905Why did everyone drop Tom in S18? I know it was shit, but there was no way of knowing that before it broadcast.
>>211834260Season 18 is one of 4's best seasons.
Tooth And Claw
Love And Monsters
Smith And Jones
The Unicorn And the Wasp
Flesh And Stone
Vincent And the Doctor
The Doctor, the Widow And the Wardrobe
World Enough And Time
The Story And the Engine
>>211834260I don't think it's that everyone dropped him, but that it was the natural decline in viewership. The 11.2 is an outlier because I think that was the season where ITV went off the air for a while and only the BBC was on TV.
>>211834260S17's ratings were unusually high because ITV was on strike for months. when ITV finally came back to the air there was some sort of backfiring with people getting tired of only watching the beeb and switching to ITV instead. plus ITV had prepared its return with many high-budget American shows.
S18's below average quality didn't help, but it was secondary.
i am now rewatching Children of Earth. so much DRAMA is happening, all at once. who can they trust? is it anyone?!
>>211826905>6, 7, and 12 shit on>the better their seasons got the less people watchedThe British public are such plebs, they don't deserved Doctor Who.
>>211834749What were ITV striking about?
hello is torchwood children of earth any good?
i heard it is more dark than doctor who and is disturbing. ive found it online should i watch it? is it very sick and twisted? i dont want to watch anything that involves pdf files
>>211834260other shows came out with better SFX, plus there was probably Tom Baker fatigue setting it by that point. also he was really sick during the filming of this season, drinking a lot, not happy with JNT taking over the program so he wasn't at his best.
>>211835028the slow grinding and eventual cancellation of Doctor Who was totally inorganic. it was orchestrated by the highest ranks of the BBC itself who even used the BBC's own official PR to denigrate the series. it's actually a remarkable feat that it managed to stay on for 4 more years (and even survived S24)
NuWho meanwhile (after S1) always had the complete and total support of the BBC and still collapsed on its own.
>>211835069Their pay increase wasn't big enough and the transmission equipment was said to be unsafe.
>>211835264The BBC's support in 2025 is much worse than it's attempts to denigrate in the 80s.
>>211835264the cult fanbase of the original series is exactly who they don't want watching it. The kinds of people who play warhammer.
>>211835136I forget exactly what happens but I think the central plot is aliens want kids, the government has to choose between sending them or being destroyed by the aliens (and chooses to start rounding them up) and there's a big coverup about the government allowing kids to be abused while not only not stopping it but facilitating it themselves.
Can't think where they got such wacky ideas from.
>>211835382it's pretty identical to what happened with Star Wars with Disney going out of their way to intentionally alienate the original fanbase but not being able to gain enough new fans to replace who they lost. same usage of faggot identity politics to do it too.
>>211832447Easy to forget that one, it was like the one show missing from the "Whoniverse" collection on iPlayer because it has the cast and crew laughing about Barrowman pulling his cock out
>>211835459lmao, really?
desu i think he was just mucking about, i don't think he was ever doing anything outside of banter
After Saville the papers seem eager to publish a full spread about some dirty sex bugger but they simply don't exist.
If there is going to be one it's going to be Sir David Jason. a knighthood is like +50% likelihood of being a nonce.
>>211835670for sure, be suspicious of anyone they hand those out to.
>>211835670a lot of it is because Noah Clarke (Mickey/Ricky) got metoo'd and started frantically lying about the extent of Barrowman's conduct to try to save his own skin or make it seem like RTD's era was just rife with sexual harassment and the beeb is to blame. as Barrowman explained it, he would just be nude on set for nude scenes and would be playful about people on set walking in and not expecting him to be nude. he didn't put his genitals on anyone's body, he wasn't walking around in a robe flashing people or anything.
>>211835136>hello is torchwood children of earth any good?It's good, but you have to really be in the mood to watch it because nothing nice happens in the whole series.
>i dont want to watch anything that involves pdf filesBeing specific is a spoiler risk, but there's no sexual angle to it at all. The fucked up part is more about government tearing kids away from their families never to be seen again.
>>211835747Most importantly Barrowman followed rules 1 and 2.
>>211835448Because the intended audience of boys thought it was lame and gay. Simple as.
>>211835235Was that the one where he was in such a rough way his hair went limp and they had to perm it to have his usual curls?
>>211836371why don't they make it less lame and gay, tho?
>>211836411Because they themselves are lame and gay.
>>211836371well sure when you make the hero of every story a girl, make every man evil or a bumbling idiot, boys are going to start to get the message that they aren't wanted as viewers.
>>211836395yes, i think it was Leisure Hive in particular where it was the worst, also because he and Ward had broken off their relationship but were still forced to work together for the sake of the show so on top of being physically unwell, he was also an emotional wreck.
>>211836461can they *try*, at least?
JNT tried.
>>211835747That's not what actually happened. People just dug up the old clip of Noel Clarke talking about him.
primitive jewish trickery
>>211834760They were going for it with that one. Just all the safety measures or whatever you want to call them turned off.
>>211835670Barrowman is just your typical bawdy type, they're generally harmless
>>211836247What are those?
>>2118366981. Be Attractive.
2. Don't be Unattractive.
Just do this and you can commit as much sexual assault as you like.
>>211836493>broken off their relationship but were still forced to work togetherA warning to others about having a romance on the set. Sometimes you wind up married for 50 years and it's all well and good, other times you're filming with your acrimonious divorce all day, all week, for months.
>>211836764True, I would inherently brush off Barrowman flashing as just some fag humour, not a sex pest thing. Perhaps that's a bias.
>>211835069It was the style at the time
>>211836919he wasn't really flashing though, he just happened to be nude on set and people would be surprised when they walked on set and found him nude. he's a bit of an exhibitionist it seems but it's not like a Louis CK thing where he's going out of his way forcing others to participate in his fetish with threats/coercion.
still definitely inappropriate though and he's said that he wouldn't do it anymore and apologized if anyone was seriously hurt by what he did.
>>211836764Adam's actor follows rule #2, but not exactly #1.
never seen anyone pining for his return, even though he's served his time for HIS sexual assault.
>>211837088>famously play a gay on Coronation Street (notable as their first coming out story)>assault a girl
>>211836985He apologised back in like 2008 but I'm pretty sure I've heard him do the same thing in Arrow.
>>211836985That isn't even fag behaviour, the jocks at my college used to do shit like that in the bar
>>211836985didn't he intentionally get his cock out, Errol Flynn style?
even as a gay, that's not on.
>>211837133>pretend to be gay>rape girlstale as old as time.
>>211837293according to him he's never done anything like that, the complaints were only in the context of behavior he exhibited while filming nude on set. he wouldn't go back to his trailer between takes to save time so he would just hang out on set fully naked.
>>211837293>even as a gay, that's not on.Read in Jodie's voice.
>>211837293>didn't he intentionally get his cock out, Errol Flynn style?Errol Flynn used to get his cock out?
>>211837439>they locked me captain jack in fooken costa, and he's flashin' me!
>>211837469played the piano with it as a party trick.
he also ended up in court over a couple of teenage girls. but things were different back then.
Why did Nuwho make the Sontarans into midgets?
>>211837576Because that's how they're supposed to be. They forgot when they made The Two Doctors.
>>211837520'is got 'is knob out in fuckin' costa... oh my god what shull a do? 'is frothin't milk wi' it nah.
>>211837719In classic they're always tall. I just watched The invasion of time and they're big hulking bastards in it and all of the previous stories they were in.
>>211837576saves a fortune on costume materials.
>>211837576wrote themselves into a corner with ANOTHER copy-pasted clone army + catchphrase villain. needed an extra gimmick.
>>211838030Yeah, they were always like football players, they just casted a short guy in NuWho for some reason
>>211838030Linx and Styre were both short. I don't recall them being particularly big in Invasion of Time.
>>211838030I would guess it's because people forgot Pertwee is tall (6'3") so it looks short compared to him
The difference is striking
>>211838607That makes sense to me.
>>211838796doctor who never said that
>>211838796very good post.
Don't care about their height, care that they turned them from a proud warrior race to a laughing stock.
They should do an episode where Strax is tortured and beheaded.
>>211838607>"Yes, perhaps you're lucky enough not to have met him yet. Nasty, brutish and short just about sums him up."
>>211809369Why is it fine for a man to do drag but not do black face?
>>211838834>ya fictioni don't want to google that.
>>211838861Strax is based.
friendly, threadly reminder that the brunette in pink & blue in the 'call on me' video is matt smith's sister
>>211838861The fucks made them a credible threat again imo.
>>211838861It's telling that the CBBC show did them better than most of the main show.
>>211838834in what context did this person say this?
don't care what gender you are, when did sharing this sort of shite about your personal life become normal? paparazzi types used to stalk celebrities HOPING for a scandal like this, now random authors are dishing them out for free? why? "i am into kinky shit", good for you, mate...?
>>211838947wow Jo Martin really let herself go
>>211838834>trans-identifying maleIs that a woman who believes she's a man, or a man who believes he's a woman?
>>211838897Young Adult, the creatures primary targets.
>>211838947They did pulled the episode and were forced to say sorry though
>>211838978That's Leslie Jones you racist.
>>211838990Don't think even they know anymore
>>211838973>in what context did this person say this?Guest speaker at a primary school assembly
>>211830808Women really do ruin everything. I prefer men.
>>211838834>trans """woman""" is just a turbo coomerEvery time
>>211839038I'm just glad they let him out and brought an end to apartheid.
>>211838973I once got dragged along to a drag show where the performer said he was fucking someone up the ass and came, and then he shat out a log of shit that was covered in his cum.
These people get off on being disgusting. That is their fetish.
>>211826606I think the first season was pretty solid.
>>211838865This is why it's funny to see Chappell Roan get attacked for "appropriating gay culture". The whole point of drag was for fags to mock women (as there wouldn't be any women at their clubs).
>>211839443Reading into that iceberg was cathartic. Watching the snake eating itself.
Same with TERFs and trannies. Can't wait for whatever eldritch horror comes out 20 years from now that makes trannies seem sane.
Animals? Kids?
Who wouldve guessed the Disney+ Dr.Who would be more gay and more lame
>>211839611Anybody. It's fucking Disney. The girliest corporation out there.
>>211839611We thought it would be 2005 tier gay.
>>211839661anon are you legitimately autistic
protip, the phrase "who would have guessed x" is always immediately followed by a rhetorical sarcastic statement
>>211839669I think what hurts more is how good the visuals are but everything else is pure unadultered shit
>>211839741Are you a fan of marvel movies?
>>211839712>anon are you legitimately autisticNah, just high.
>>211839594Mtf and ftm trannies will come into conflict with non-binary and genderfluid trannies
>>211839866>Ammo pack added to Vindicator for this one scene to make it more gun-like
>>211840217That's a stand that was always on it.
>>211839962I never got how troons wearing flowery dresses and essentially cosplaying as an imagined ideal of femininity and androgynous boy/girl people were supposed to be allied anyway.
>>211839741They need to cut the budget in half
Why did they make Ncuti's UHD anyway? Who the fuck is watching this crap on a projector?
>>211840841The show relies too much on spectacle and action. It needs to slow down and become more centered around solid and well-written scripts.
>>211839310went to see a transsexual comedian in Soho once, it was all bits like this. advertised their Fetlife profile at the end.
again i'm not even 'against' any of this, it's the broadcasting of it. if a non-transgender woman said the exact same things i'd be concerned. in fact it makes MORE sense for FTM men to be like this, since they're getting testosterone in their system all of a sudden.
>>211841032Doctor Who follows no logic so it doesn't need well-written scripts.
>>211840811i've watched this episode twice now and did i miss where and when he set this little hidden-in-plain-sight trap up?
>>211841158I missed the line that explained it in the first episode, so I had no clue what it even did all series.
>>211841138I agree, it just needs to be less gay and less lame
>>211840811But let's change the sonic so it looks less like a gun
>>211838990I believe they recognise they're a man but sincerely identifies as "trans" rather than male of female.
>>211839360
>>211840794>>211841032counter-suggestion: just make it twice as long.
it's come up a lot that each of those stories had way, way too much for a single 40-60 minutes. pick one idea and stick to it, or make them two-parters with a cliffhanger in the middle.
the African barbershop episode sticks out the most. it just kept going.
>>211838990Twitter radfem word for transgender women (so born male, transitioning/transitioned to a woman). joke is it abbreviates to "TIM" (similarly, there's "TIF").
one of those situations where i find both sides pretty hilarious, Twitter was such a fucking mistake. neither group of "activists" does themselves any favours.
I love this little asshole almost as much as I love Auton Mickey Smith. Big Finish, get to work on a crossover.

>>211835670I thought so but I can't find the clip, maybe there's some other reason why it's not on iPlayer. Perhaps it was talked about in a late-night promo interview but I definitely remember him being open about getting his dick out before he got cancelled when the same shit resurfaced years later

>>211830808The far right get a real cob on about the show taking the piss out of them, but remember it also took the piss out of:
>New Labour Turning them into fat farting monsters that hid their real faces with suits made from dead peoples skin.
>The Iraq war:Oh, I wonder what "Weapons of mass destruction that can be launched in 45 seconds" was an obvious reference to.
>New labour againHarriot Jones, M.P. /PM
>Barack ObamaThat episode where he is claiming to solve the financial crisis but ends up just being changed into a white man.
>Teresa MaySusan Triad cringe-dancing like her.
Thats just a few of RTDs ones, there was a metric shit-tonne of political references in the classic series, that you might not pick up on if you weren't around at the time, and Moffat and Chibnall have tbejr fair share (even if Chibnall has the subtlety of a brick through a window).
The only reason a far right chud would think the show has become political "recently" is if they had never seen an episode before. The only thing that has changed is the far right have become big enough to be the butt of jokes, they should be flattered if anything.

>>211847294I agree. The Jon Pertwee episode about being anti-genocide is exactly the same as the episode about respecting the Meep's pronouns.
>>211847294It's just too gay brown and female now, in all honesty.
>>211847294RTD loved Obama.

>>211847544Equating the "anti fascist themes" of the Daleks, to the solution of an episode being a troon patronisingly explaining the female perspective to the "male presenting" Doctor?
>>211847294There's a difference between subtle messaging and outright lectures.
>Harriot Jones, M.P. /PMJones was a riff on Thatcher and the Belgrano
>That episode where he is claiming to solve the financial crisis but ends up just being changed into a white man.That wasn't taking the piss out of Obama, RTD sincerely believed the stuff he wrote in that episode about him fixing the world financial crisis. (pic rel)
>Susan Triad cringe-dancing like her.May isn't Labour, you do realise? Also, mocking a forgettable PM who left office 6 years ago is just embarrassing.
>The only reason a far right chud would think the show has become political "recently" is if they had never seen an episode before.You're autistic.
>>211849714>May isn't Labour, you do realise?Do you think the conservatives are right-wing?
>>211849934Do you know what right-wing means? And no, social views have nothing to do with the left-right axis.
Posting again to reiterate that the whole meme of the Daleks being Nazis is such a fucking reach.
If you take the original serial in a vacuum, there is literally nothing there to create that impression. And if you pool together every appearance of the Daleks across the course of the original series, they're more like generic imperialists, who are a lot more likely to enslave and exploit, than they are to act out a policy of total extermination.
Terry Nation literally just made this up at a certain point, because he wanted people to think he was clever.
>>211850254So letting in more immigrants than any previous government in history is a right-wing policy?
>>211850288Counterpoint: the daleks were created less than 20 years after ww2 when they were in the collective consciousness of the entire nation, if they weren't inspired by the nazis what were they inspired by?
>>211850643Cold war anxieties, mostly. The original serial is firstly about the damage done to a planet, and done to the Daleks themselves due to nuclear war, and secondly about a conflict that has gone on for far too long, where both sides have a chance to make peace, but refuse out of stubbornness.
One might also argue that alien invaders were a well trodden sci-fi trope even before WW2. That's what War of the Worlds is all about. Doctor Who owes a lot to HG Wells in general.
>>211850824Explain their penchent for extermination specifically, a term only used in regard to the nazis at that point in time.
Now, if you're a man of the 60's, and there's no distinction in your mind between the Nazis and absolute evil, and you intend the Daleks to be a depiction of absolute evil, that still doesn't work, because the Daleks depicted in the episode are far too merciful. They imprison, and negotiate with the Doctor and his crew. Not exactly the single-minded kill frenzied monsters you'd expect.
>>211851120Classic sci-fi convention. Aliens talk mechanical and computery. Devoid of emotion. They say things like "affirmative".
>>211851147You've never heard of the gestapo or how they're used in media before? The whole "ve have vays of making du talk" is arguably more symbolic of nazis than outright killing.
>>211851202The cybermen of the same era say "Do not attempt to move or you will be *killed* instantly." and they should be more medhanical and computery than daleks.
>>211851280That's a pretty shaky argument. It's not like every script writer is going to do the same thing.
>>211851220Interrogation is hardly something solely applicable to the Nazis.
>>211851567Every script with the daleks has the word exterminate.
>>211851606But it does refute your claim that "if they were supposed to be a nazi allegory all they would do is kill people".
>>211851637Because it's their catchphrase. That doesn't make it a big brained critique of the Nazis. It's simply not there in the material.
>>211850504Literally yes. Anything to make the line go up.
Economic policy is the entire basis of the left-right axis.
The people the media incorrectly calls "far-right" are more often than not on the left or radical centre.
>>211851681If you're approaching the Nazis in that cartoony two dimensional way where they're just evil to the core, and kill on sight, yes. That's how the modern series approaches them.
>>211851727Capitalism in and of itself isn't really right wing. It's just Capitalism. It's rootless and uncaring, by it's very nature.
The true right is supposed to care about things like tradition, and ordering society in accordance to some rigid ideal.
I'm sick of arguing with contrarianmaxxers. If you can't see how the daleks are nazis you're either trolling or lack basic media literacy.
>The Doctor and Susan are sitting cross-legged on the floor.)
>DALEK 1: You have destroyed our videoscope and one of our lifts.
>DOCTOR: And you in turn killed the Thal leader in your ambush. And you will be responsible for more deaths unless you help these people.
>DALEK 1: The only interest we have in the Thals is their total extermination.
>SUSAN: What do you mean?
>DALEK 1: Tomorrow the atmosphere will be bombarded by the radiation from our nuclear reactors.
>SUSAN: Why are you doing this?
>DOCTOR: That's sheer murder.
>DALEK 1: No, extermination.
>DOCTOR: But you must listen to reason. Please, you must.
>DALEK 1: Without radiation, the Dalek race is ended. We need it as you and the Thals need air.
>ALL: Tomorrow, we will be the masters of planet Skaro.
>>211852451They have a grudge against an enemy they have been fighting for centuries. That actually has almost nothing to do with the Nazis. The Nazis were all about expansion and building up their nation. The Daleks as we see them in the original series seem to be quite happy to live in one decaying city, and have no aspirations for anything beyond wiping out the Thals.
How are you seeing the Nazis in this? It doesn't even make sense.
Because they say "exterminate"?
