Okay, full disclosure first: I know nothing about the guy or his views and I haven't played any of the God of War games, and only know some basic stuff I've heard about them. My views on the "Angraboda issue" are such: 1) This is a video game series that mashes together superficial aspects of ancient myths and cultures, makes them their own and has fun with it. It is thus irrelevant in my mind what form they chose for mythical beings to have. They are *mythical beings* , they never had any canonical skin tone to begin with. There's no description of Angraboda that I know of from the sources. She's described as a giantess, that's it. This is just *one* iteration of her in *one* title of *one* video game franchise - this really is a non-issue to me. 2) When it comes to someone feeling that the skin tone change is jarring in contrast to the Norse setting - I see that as a matter of taste. Some people can get used to it, to others it breaks immersion. That is unavoidable risk of any art rendition. The other side of the coin is Kratos who is a literal albino ancient Greek turned divine - but everyone is used to him so they don't mind, as they shouldn't. When something sits with me the wrong way, I always try to identify if it is something crucial or superficial. More often than not it is just a gut-feeling of discomfort that dissolves upon closer interspection. Is Angraboda one of the main characters? - if yes, and she annoys me, I'll probably get used to her over the course of the game - if no, then I don't have to put up with her much and can enjoy the game regardless I haven't played the game, so I cannot tell for sure, but I'm pretty certain I would enjoy the game regardless on the look of one of its many characters.

If the Daleks succeeded in eradicating all other life forms then they would turn on each other, and a new Civil War would erupt between the Daleks of Skaro that contain the original Kaled-mutated DNA, and all others. There would be a Civil War led by 2 Emperors: the true Emperor/ Leader and a Emperor/ Leader who is not of pure Kaled DNA. They would attempt to pursue one-another across Time/ Space and since that would create a huge and expansive scope of paradoxes, then eventually the Daleks (of all DNA types) would surely render themselves extinct.

What’s disturbing as well the Daleks technically started out as something good as the kaleds were mutating due to the chemical and nuclear fallout used in the thousand year war, Davros experimented to find out what they would become and designed a mobile life support device for them. If only he stopped there instead he began creating more of the mutants, editing their brain chemistry and DNA to make them hate and lack compassion, creating the Daleks. A entire race of, armoured eugenics obsessed fascists unleashed onto the universe all because of one man. And if the expanded lore is true the Daleks are fully aware of this and hate that there purity is a genetic mutation of what was once the kaleds.

The real horror - they are the biological Annalong of what Marx said about capitalism (lol 😂) "The ultimate outcome of all this competition is the end of competition". The ultimate outcome of the Daleks nature is the end of evolution.....but unfortunately through extermination. And there is something else. They are actually innocent. They have, not only no choice - They are actually incapable of corruption. In some ways they are "the meek...pure of heart". But they will kill you.😊

I think this is a crucial point that made me change my mind on the ultimate fate of the Daleks. If they were to succeed in exterminating everything else, then they would have nothing more to hate. BUT if they have nothing more to hate, they cease to have that fundamental trait that makes them Dalek. I think they would then exterminate themselves, since they are no longer "pure" Daleks. They really are the Uroboros, eating its own tail.

For as on the nose as the representation of Nazis as it was, I found that especially in the early NuWho era, the establishment of that mindset was both engaging and dangerous. You used to look at them and go ‘haha funny shouting angry evil german racist analogue.’ But at first, the same idea was played with a new gravitas. That yes, racial hatred to the point of genocide is a terrifying and abominable thing, especially if they have the power to do so. And to the victims of the Nazis, they would have seemed like it. That logic and compassion can be twisted into depraved depths of unfathomable cruelty because of a fundamental basis of their worldview. And the worst part is, we can see ourselves in this embodiment of evil. That the Nazis were human, just like us. We’ve seen people do terrible things because of this ingrained hatred, even through the eyestalk lens of a spacetime-faring genocidal assortment of killer octopi in salt shakers.

If the Daleks succeed, and all there is left is Dalek, will they find peace? No, they would not. All they know is hatred, they are, for all intents and purposes, Nutzis in tin cans. They fight amongst themselves, not only over genetic purity, but ideological purity. Three main factions I can think of off the top of my head are the Imperial Daleks, who follow the Daled Emperor, the Cult of Skaro, who follow their founder's beliefs that Daleks CAN be improved further, that the original genetics are not the 'purest' form the Dalek can take, and the Cult of Davros, who revere the Kaled who created them in the image of his own unquenchable hatred. Exery single Dalek sees THEMSELF as the Only True Dalek, and all others are merely tolerated for as long as they are useful. If the universe were filled with only Daleks, then they would engage in a multi-front, multi-faction civil war until there is only one Dalek left. That Dalek would then make clons of themselves to ensure the survival of the Dalek race, and the infighting would resume once more.

I have indeed changed my mind on the ending. I acknowledge your points, but even the idea of Dalek factions imo still has to end with *a* Dalek or a group of Daleks eventually coming out on top as the only things period. But I did realize that even if there was just one Dalek left alive, it would lack something that fundamentally makes it Dalek - something to hate. If a Dalek doesn't hate, it isn't a Dalek by their strict definition. Therefore any Dalek or Daleks left standing at the end of everything would just end themselves out of pure conviction. They really are the Uroboros eating its own tail.

@@arcaneengine6216 The Last Dalek would not self-exterminate. Daleks are defined by their hate, but their hatred is based on their unflinching belief in the superiority of the Dalek race. No, the Last Dalek would see itself as the Supreme example of the Dalek race, by virtue of eliminating all competition, and would seek to perpetuate its own perfection by cloning itself, creating more Daleks, which will soon break into factions over minor differences in philosophy (for reference, consider Prodestants who use "forgive us our trespasses" in the Lord's prayer versus those which use "forgive us our debts". A single word, similar meanings, but the groups will dislike each other for it, almost as much as they dislike Roman Catholics), and then, as a companion is won't to say after witnessing a fresh regeneration of the Doctor, "...here we go again..."

Great video, as a side note, they can also be looked at from a tragic viewpoint as well, especially going off of the classic series back history. A race of peaceful scientists and scholars in a symbiotic relationship with a race of warriors to keep them safe, until those warriors turned on them. Backed into a corner facing potential extinction, their fear, pain, desperation, and paranoia slowly devolved into hate, malice, and rage, twisting them into the Daleks we know now. A potential reason they show no mercy was because no one showed them any until it was far too late to go back to the way things were.

Are the Daleks evil? Depends on your definition. They hate because that's all they know how to do. They don't see themselves as evil. Few do. But from the outside looking in, they are evil. Evil like the Borg. Both can be seen as a force of nature. Both want to make the universe of nothing but them. One wants to exterminate everything but themselves, the other absorb. Same goal, different methods.

This makes me want to play Stellaris as the Daleks again. I want to say that when it comes to Sci-Fi, I prefer Star Trek. Doctor Who is my favorite show ever, but the "history" changes with each episode. It's too inconsistent, convoluted and complicated. Everything is either canon or not canon. Despite saying that. Lord, I wish the Daleks were in Star Trek. Like, I don't even want the doctor or other Doctor Who characters in that like "crossover". Being of pure hate facing off against the United Federation of Planets would be poetry.

They cannot be reasoned with, they do not form genuine alliances, they do not want surrender. They will not rest until the only form of life in the universe is Dalek life.

If the Daleks ever succeed in exterminating all other life in the universe, they would surely turn on each other in time. With undying hatred and unwavering belief in their own superiority, eventually, they would kill each other for not being 'Dalek enough'. Only the sole survivor would be the True Dalek, one so ready and able to exterminate that it would exterminate itself, for if given the choice to exterminate or to not exterminate, it will commit that action *every single time* no matter the target. A peaceful Dalek is not a Dalek. A Dalek that will not exterminate is not a Dalek.

I’ve often made this argument for why the Daleks are ultimately the most terrifying of all the enemies of the Doctor. They are focused, single minded, and arguably pure in their form and function . They are engineered to survive above all things and over all things. What makes this so remarkable is that it is not simply logic that prompts this focus on Darwinistic survival, but they feel so strongly the hatred and contempt they have for others. They are not emotionless but the epitome of hatred and centrism for the most practical reason, survival.
