Doctor Who RACE SWAPS Historical Figure! "Wild Blue Yonder" REVIEW

It is rather peculiar, this double standard. If they change a white and or straight person into black or gay, then it is "diversity and acceptance". But if black or gay person is changed into white and/or straight person, then it is homophobia and racism. Funny how this one-way street works.

Fandom is like being in a relationship. The moment that relationship becomes abusive you have to walk away. Your first clue is they blame you for lashing out.

[@jerrymac6751]

It's sad that the things that preoccupied my mind as a hobby of sorts, has been erased by those who don't have a hobby like ours. It's the bullies from our childhood all over again. "You nerd", "you geekizoid", "you read comics? How childish!", "Star Wars? That looks boring", "D&D?? That's the work of the devil, BURN THE BOOKS, ADD THOSE OZZY ALBUMS IN THERE TOO!" We, or I guess I can only speak for myself, but I stood up to those who did that sort of thing, or at least attempted to, growing up in the 70s and 80s. To start, the bullies, they don't have anything. But they want what you have, cause they need attention. Whatever your Fandom was back then, we didn't need attention, we had each other. The needs and geeks, doing nerd and geek things, the punks and metal heads with their hair and music, the blacks with their beakdancing and rappin, hicks with their boots and firearms, the preps with popped collars, we all sat separate, but some played D&D together, some played sports together, some listened to the same music, others enjoyed the same movies and books and would talk for hours about it. We didn't need to look for attention from others, because we had each other AND it crossed social lines. They don't want to cross social lines, they've boxed themselves into their own world. Fandom has always been open to anyone, love it, nourish it, keep it true and it will last forever. Trash it, and you'll have a fight on your hands. (Remind me of what happened to the PMRC? Are they even still around? They may have won a small sticker battle, but rap, metal, pop, rock, folk/country musicians and fans stood together and we won the fight against censorship.) Just for the record, I quit after the last jedi and WandaVision, and after the spider episode of Who. Its like a bully stole all my comics and burned them in front of me, laughing. I'm sick of all the bullshit. If it wasn't for channels like this, I would be that person who had nothing. At least we all have each other. We've been through some dark times fellows... dark times and WE always won. Except that damn sticker on albums... or Ozzy getting banned from cities... well, he did piss on the Alamo, ANYWAY...... Dark times indeed.

[@purdunetae2995]

I got off the school bus at my friends house everyday. Turned on PBS and watched an episode of Dr. Who. I would walk home after, about half a mile. When it was rebooted I watched it with my daughter. She, I, and eventually my second daughter bonded with Dr. Who. I didn't say anything but one day at dinner I mentioned the woke thing. At first my daughters thought "oh here dad goes again". As I talked about different scenes talking about how awful and toxic men were. As I talked about how wonderfully written Missy was. The Master being a woman was a huge, surprise plot twist. Masterfully done and it had nothing to do with being woke. If anything it allowed us to see the deep love, non sexual, between these two boyhood mates. Not just friends but brothers, no matter what body they had. So it's with deep sadness that this all has been done. How many other stories like mine are there? How many people made connections over the decades because of hiring the best of writers. Writers who cared about the characters and conveying great stories that made you think. Pulled on heart strings. This is the true death of writing for the Modern Audience. It divides people instead of bringing them together.

[@johnpglackin345]

Missy was woke. The Master cannot change his sex.

[@stuartsteel1]

And that's why they target children. Young minds are impressionable.

[@Red_Devil_2011]

I did not grow up with Dr Who, but this did make me think of one example of how "woke" writing manipulates audiences, especially kids. Pay attention to how many movies portray the bully who torments the child main character as a blonde, blue-eyed white boy. How many movies portray a specifically white woman with a kind, considerate, intelligent black husband and happy children, versus portraying a white woman as unsatisfied or even abused by her loathsome white husband, and kids who clash with them? Just notice every single damn time these tropes happen in movies, shows, advertising, etc. This inverse of reality absolutely pollutes public perceptions against white people, especially white men and families. In the real world, I'm not afraid of some blonde, blue-eyed kid sucker-punching my friend's children at school. I'm not typically afraid of the blonde, blue-eyed boyfriend knocking up his sugar-momma and abandoning her with a pregnancy, black eye, and broken nose.

Okay, maybe you could say Peter Davison was gay cause he was a little light on the feet, but that would just be playing into stereotypes. Oh, and how John Hurt's Doctor was gay! That's 9 Doctors.

We all probably had mulatto ancestors. Newton was actually black. 4. That EVEN IF Newton was white, we ought to present him as nonwhite because the FUTURE ought to and will be nonwhite! 5. History was too white and all these white people today are too white, which is why we need to encourage portrayals of nonwhites in order to further deracinate white people.

I remember when the Paul McGann TV movie came out and it was dissed by the fans for (at least) two reasons: 1) the Doctor claims he's half-human, and 2) the Doctor kisses Dr Grace Holloway (Daphne Ashbrook). It causes an uproar because the Doctor was NEVER seen as "sexual." Or, as Janet Fielding used to say, "No hanky panky in the TARDIS." Remember, this was designed as FAMILY VIEWING and they were sensitive to their demographic. Fast forward to Russell T Davies and he's always wanted to sexualize the Doctor. Then, in recent panels, he said he's "messaging" children through Disney+. "Messaging?" If I started "messaging" children I don't know with sexual stories and innuendo, I would rightly be called a "perv." And what is this messaging? It's ALWAYS something sexual in nature (going forward). It's an evil world we live in.

I saw no sense in gender swapping the Doctor but I gave it a chance. Yes, the show was becoming more woke but with Chibnall, THE MESSAGE was being crammed down my throat. I left midway in the Doctor Impersonator's second season, fortunate enough not to watch the Timeless Child. That was the nail in the coffin for me. When I heard RTD was returning, yes, I was foolish enough to hold out hope. I decided to let you brave souls, Gary and Az watch it for me, review it. When I saw how RTD was giving the few fans left, the middle finger, I can say, I have no regrets about walking away. Doctor Who is DEAD. I'll reconstruct an ending where Capaldi never regenerated.

[@DoctorTimelord]

i really wanted jodie to regenerate into tennant as some sort of regeneration fever dream where capaldi (midlife crysis doctor) and jodie (i never watched an episode or studied the lore doctor) simply never took place, tho as much as i didnt really like capaldi and his stupid guitar and sonic sunglasses, he has become the final doctor for me, its good to see david back and i think he is doing a good job if you remove all the woke shit, but they would have been better off not renewing after capaldi i have zero hope for the next incarnation, they have already told us who he will be, there is no mystery, and no reason to watch, any hope for "Rose" was lost the minute he told the doctor to ask the alien for his pronouns...piss off and then the solidified it with the whole makeup infused degeneration of him and donna's not so subtle promotion of disney and frozen as they "let it go" im half surprised they didnt play the song

What the writers are admitting is that black people don't actually have any noteworthy culture of their own to place characters in.

[@boringmonkey6958]

How is nobody talking about The Doctor being all but confirmed as gay now? After The Doctor and Donna meet black Newton, Donna talks about how "hot" Newton was... Doctor: "He was SO hot. Oh, is that who I am now?" Donna: "Well it was never that far from the surface, I always knew you-" before she gets cut off. I instantly rolled my eyes... For so many reasons: 1: Great... So the Doctor is now a sexualised character... And a gay one at that... Brilliant 😴. I've always viewed The Doctor as fairly asexual, yes he's had some romantic tendencies but he's never been sexual imo, he's NEVER talked about anyone being "hot" before, not in that context anyway. 2: So this is all but confirming that Ncuti's Doctor is going to be gay... And outwardly so. This is clearly the writers setting this up. When I found out about Ncuti becoming the Doctor, I figured I would reserve judgement. I thought, MAYBE, this guy has some acting range? Maybe he has the ability to play a character that isn't his usual eccentric homosexual type character (which is clearly just Ncuti in real life... Hardly ACTING, but I digress). This confirms that Ncuti will be playing the role in the exact way I was hoping he wouldn't... He isn't going to feel like the Doctor at all, he's just going to feel like "gay kid from Sex Education". Great 😴 3: As a gay man, I am SO SICK of pre-existing, beloved characters being "diversified" and made LGBT. I, for one, couldn't care less about representation - but for those that do... Just make a character that's gay (like Jack Harkness, even though he's bi), don't RETCON someone as now being gay. It's cheap and forced. It's also such an old and worn out trope that the best friend/family member "always knew" even when the person in question never knew themselves... And what's funny, is these writers don't even realise they're perpetuating a negatige stereotype about gay people - that you can just TELL who's gay and who's not... Like there's some sort of "type" or character trait outside of sucking D that somehow makes you gay. It's also completely disrespectful to the source material and makes ABSOLUTELY ZERO SENSE. The 10th Doctor NEVER showed any signs of homosexuality, never even hinted at. In fact, there was such a focus on his relationship with Rose and the possibility of him having a romantic type of love for Rose. So for Donna to turn around and basically say, "I always knew you were gay", is just an insult to the character, as retcons usually tend to be. If they REALLY wanted to go down this route of making the Doctor gay, just have Donna be surprised but happy/supportive of this new side to the Doctor... Don't try to imply that the Doctor has always been gay... It's just false and none of us are buying it.

The biggest problem with Isaac Newton scene is that it should never have gotten into final cut. Why even bother? It does not do anything for the plot, characters etc. apart from some gags. Rest of the episode I really enjoyed. It really felt like Doctor Who. Benchmark is low, I know, but it felt more like Who, than ANYTHING since Moffat left. Maybe the Haunting of Villa Diodati is better, but I enjoyed Wild Blue Yonder much more. And if they never even mention Timeless Child and Flux anymore, the events of Chibnall era don't matter anymore

At the start, where you've got the guy in c17th century clothing, I thought it was just quotas and Daily Mail bait. But when it turns out to be Newton... 🤯 Lazy whataboutery referring to stories involving historical characters is missing the point. Those stories are grounded in who that person actually was, they aren't just inventing a different person of the same name. Ask yourself why Churchill or Nixon didn't get the race swap treatment. The mavity thing was a stupid throwaway joke, but my headcanon says that it's actually proof that they got into the wrong timeline. We *know* it's called gravity, therefore the Tardis must have landed in a weird alternative history, and remained in it while they were labouring the joke to death at the edge of the universe. Frankly, it's the only way to explain it within the story, but I don't expect RTD to have the slightest interest in internal consistency. Another appropriate quote, from John Cleese: "It's not the despair, Laura. I can take the despair. It's the hope I can't stand."

It's like they want to kill thier show. There is no other way to look at it, they hate thier own money maker so they took away the shows ability to make money. Also they clearly want to just lure the fans back with Member Berries, but hate them so much they force the one thing the fans fully reject 100%.

When Isaac Newton was Asian, me and my sister did a simultaneous bow into a part of our hand accompanied by a long deep sigh. The villains being fractal non beings of the void was cool af tho. I quite liked the doctor having that conversation with the fake donna and having that tantrum after; gave me an existential dread vibe when you think of the existential implications, even though the whole doctor Donna thing makes no sense anymore. Like before yh, Donna got doctor's mind, that shits gonna kill her cause an earth evolved human body ain't gonna handle centuries of memories through time and space. But now she remembers it again and won't die cause she had a kid, (and I relatively liked how they incorporated the trans thing in the story) but it doesn't make sense. And also, if you've got all the doctor's memories, I thought that meant you ARE the doctor. Cause Donna's small life is nothing in comparison to the doctor's, who's also dealt with alternate lives (namely when he was John Smith with Martha, or the whole timeless child thing) so wouldn't Donna cease to be Donna anymore. She'd just be the doctor in Donna's body with her few memories. I dunno tho, I don't usually leave comments this long. Just finished work and I'm mildly stoned (I smoke em on the way back)

These 2 episodes so far are more concerned about gender politics, and milking any little bit of nostalgia than telling an actual good story.
