His depression, and drunken misery, his pettiness and not being able to move on, makes him reckless and self-destructive. The Doctor just took advantage of Rick’s self destructive tendencies/behavior.

Rick didn't lose due to a "misfire." The Doctor deliberately caused the portal gun to shoot that portal onto the wall of the TARDIS, so he could redirect Rick's shot by turning the portal on his own back toward him. It was one of the Doctor's typical brilliantly improvised tactical calculations.

I love the way the Doctor was characterized in this. The David Tennant impression was on point, and I loved how they showcased the Doctor's pacifism, like trying to just leave at the start to avoid the fight entirely, using a spoon against Rick's sword, or being reluctant to use the De-Mat gun. I love how inside the TARDIS the Doctor just straight up runs from Rick, because he does that all the time in the show, he just runs and comes back later with a plan. I loved how that "I don't wanna go" scene, which was not only a reference, but also in this context works as a response to Rick's nihilism. I specifically love how he barely even directly attacks Rick during the fight, and instead just outsmarts him using the environment or Rick's own attacks against him.

[@yourcordialvermillionchapw2398]

Yeah it all went so hard. Much like SpongeBob, they had to NOT reveal EVERYTHING with the Doc's stats, if they did, it becomes just unfair just from how much the Doc can actually counter or overwhelm, even surprisingly vaster Cosmology then what was documented here. I mentioned this before in DB's own vod regarding small clever details, but Doc outsmarting Rick in the Weeping Angel's scene makes so much sense, given Doc is astonishingly persuasive to a Supernatural degree, it has gotten to a point where he can subdue an entire army: Via words alone. Plus when they mentioned the Doc was a Deus Ex Menace, they meant it, homie can get absurdly improbable as it is, leading with Rick losing harder given the amount of convenience for Doc and inconvenience Rick will further have. Simply put, Rick was Rigged from the start and the Doc can subdue him in many infinite ways currently yes... Nice Sea Madruga profile picture BTW.

[@garrettviewegh9028]

It’s kind of like Batman. Only, the Doctor has killed billions before. But, he’s still scared that once he goes down that path again, he may not stop. Which may be why he has compianas with him on his adventures. Not to make them weapons, but to keep The Doctor human. He knows he’s potentially the most dangerous being in the universe. Which is why he doesn’t want more deaths on his conscience. That guilt has put him close to killing himself. The Doctor tries to keep away from the edge of madness and nihilism, while Rick fell over, and is still descending.

Yeah, when you see the doctor, noticing he doesn't have a weapon is probably the last thing you'll ever notice.

Fun fact: The Doctor has actually dealt with something trying to, for lack of a better term, "Mr Frundles," the TARDIS, an alien called House that was capable of possessing a planet.

[@lordolxinator]

Rick managed to outsmart them purely due to their hubris regarding that raging meteor species that followed them. They were smarter in a lot of ways, but you could also chalk that up to them having millions of years of prep time to focus on technological advancement. Their understanding of species and civilisations as well as their impact on those they leave behind is inferior to Rick's emotional intelligence (even if Rick almost always chooses to be a jaded asshole, he almost always recognises the impacts he has with his decisions but just doesn't care much of the time). With a bit of prep time and a lot of cynical oneupmanship he sabotaged the dinosaurs "utopian" vision and managed to outsmart them, forcing them to drop their pacifism to correct an issue they couldn't figure out how to solve (instead of just accepting death). I'd say the dinosaurs are up there for sure. Rick Prime is still probably the smartest, Rick C137 and Evil Morty are closely behind (then followed by the dinosaurs). Even if Rick isn't smarter than the dinos, Rick Prime likely *is*, allowing for the Central Finite Curve logic to still apply.

The Doctor being pleasantly amused by the screaming sun is just so on brand for him I love it. ❤ I never thought too deeply about a Vs match between these two, but I do think you made a valid point with Mr. Frundles! I'm sure The Doctor might have a counter to something similar, but I can't recall any instances off the top of my head so it's a fair shot especially if Frundles is able to FrundlFy the TARDIS before The Doctor could get inside and travel back to a time before Frundles. Essentially tho if TARDIS is turned to Mr. Frundles, The Doctor (I am 99% sure) should be stuck in that place and time. To my knowledge and recollection The Doctor doesn't necessarily have full reign over time itself, hence why he needs to go back to TARDIS whenever he wants to travel through time. He's just able (through his innate being and training) to see facets of time beyond what other beings can, and is able to use the tools at his disposal and that knowledge to accomplish really crazy shit (or to know things others can't possibly know; like the time he knew the Moon was an egg about to hatch a cosmic being and he knew everything would be okay while the entire earth was panicking; and also knowing Fixed Points in time versus what can actually be changed). So hypothetically if he was able to know of Mr. Frundles or something similar to it ahead of time and had easy access to the TARDIS (or is already within it) he could figure something out; but if he was caught in a situation where he's on a planet and away from the TARDIS he might not have as many options as he otherwise would. That would be Rick's best bet tbh; like you said just portal gun Mr. Frundles into his universe at a random moment and let it take care of the rest. I'd be curious if the introduction of Frundles and the start of its takeover would be considered a Fixed Point within time itself; as under normal means how can you go back from that? Rick just abandoned the universe Jerry let Frundles lose in altogether. To my knowledge Doctor can't traverse universes just time via the TARDIS. So hypothetically he'd be stuck in his universe traversing the Time before Frundles endlessly until he can find a solution. On the flip side I'd love to see Rick's way of dealing with things like Weeping Angels and The Silence. As we know Rick is a bit psychologically disturbed and those foes play heavily on psychological horror (Silence especially). It'd be interesting and probably kinda sad to see Rick slowly lose his shit at the Silence after seeing all the tally marks he's made on his hands.. I'd love to see his approach to these kinds of horrors. I don't think he'd find the Dalek to be a huge deal, Weeping Angels I think Rick would handle decently. But to have the Silence eff with Rick's mind, his greatest weapon and source of pride, would likely hit a more personal note. To have him overcome Silence in some way I think would also be a massive boost to Rick's ego.

Rick obviously doesn't have the same love for living his life, nor does he show the same regard for other life unless it's one he personally cares for; he's been depicted trying to unalive himself and has a clear tendency towards self-destruction even at the cost of those around him. Ironically tho both characters do have a breaking point where they completely flip from their usual virtues.. One breaks their usual optimism and pacifism; whereas the other "lowers himself" from his god-complex to feel human emotion to care for others despite his insistence against caring at all. Where one breaks and resorts to violence after years of pacifism, the other breaks and resorts to truly caring for his loved ones after years of cynicism.

I still feel like a female doctor could work, it's just the writing was awful.

I walked away from the last Great Time War. I marked the passing of the Time Lords. I saw the birth of the universe and watched as time ran out. Moment by moment until nothing remained -- no time, no space, just me. I walked in universes where the laws of physics where devised by the mind of a mad man. I watched universes freeze and creations burn. I have seen things you wouldn't believe. I have lost things you will never understand. And I know things. Secrets that must never be told. Knowledge that must never be spoken. Knowledge that will make parasite gods blaze.

[@boomblade1397]

They forget to mention that the doctor is also the timeless child so they can regenerate an infinite amount of times theoretically

[@Slayer398]

It was alright to forget the timeless child, not mentioning it was probably for the best to be quite honest.

[@DarthZ01]

we dont mention that season of the show. peter capaldi is the current doctor and the show has been on hiatus for a while.

[@noahsmith1053]

Lol

[@thelazygamer1639]

Not currently, everything that makes them The Timeless Child is in the watch, right now they're a normal Time-Lord that was granted another cycle. We also don't know if the Timeless Child's species has infinite regenerations.

[@thelazygamer1639]

​@Slayer398 I mean it doesn't play a factor into this overall, they are no longer The Timeless Child.

The amount of shade Nux is throwing towards one of the best shows while rooting for one of the most cringe shows is very telling. Lmao

[@thelazygamer1639]

The very show that Rick and Morty took some inspiration from as well.

[@thelazygamer1639]

@BeeruzChrysler Bold of you to assume that some continuity errors here or there actually make the show less fun. Being a stickler for that restricts yourself from just enjoying an story even if in the mainline continuity it didn't happen or isn't referenced. Time Streams are funny like that, in some they did happen, in others they didn't.

[@thestargateking]

@@BeeruzChryslerlmao if you think doctor who is trying too hard you’ve never watched doctor who. The biggest villains to this day have toilet plungers as an actual effective weapon. The show does have serious moments but so does Rick and Morty.

@BeeruzChrysler No but it can be used to absorb your knowledge, the process turning you into a husk that turns to dust.

@@BeeruzChrysler TV budget design when the show was created in 1963 sure, but they’ve kept with that design for several decades through several budget increases. (It did like, suck the life out of a guys face before though)

[@gadlygamer]

thank god they didnt use the doctor with the lux aeterna or the skasis paradigm or even the glory which is the strongest thing in doctor who. able to literally control the marvel omniverse

[@MotivatedBean98]

About the moment that the hook is stuck in the door of the TARDIS, well, the TARDIS might be indestructible but it's exterior is a projection made of the same materials of the thing that is trying to replicate. Which in the case of the Doctor's TARDIS it's an 1960's British police telephone blue box that's actually made of wood. So yeah, the hook can get stuck on it, just can't destroy the TARDIS. And by the way, it's external original appearance is a metallic cylinder with the same size of the police box. It looks complex but it's very simple: it's indestructible, but the external shell is made of wood.

[@alexkaen1701]

You can relax, the Doctor isn't actually British, he's just hung out there so long that he picked up the accent

[@aussienimbat9988]

There was something else about the final moments in the fight Nux did overlook it was subtle but noticable. 1: when the Doctor Hacked the raygun he also forced the portal device to activate 2: we saw that Rick was going to jump through the portal hinting at him assuming the portal was an exit 3: Having used all options Rick had to hope that the Doctor was stupider then him and wouldn't use the portal on his back and he more then likely was going to just shoot elsewhere with the next shot These are important because of the Biggest flaw with Rick's Portal Device. Because he likes no one knowing where the portal is going and enjoys the small surprise his Ego over it became what kills him. If he had just simply made the portals show where they were going to go to from a distance he would have known the portal was linked to the one on the Doctor's back but that Pride came before the fall. His own Ego and Pride Killed him not the doctor.

honestly as much as I do love RIck, I have seen too much Doctor who to know this outcome already!

[@Sirblueshueify]

Also at the end, they were playing off of the stat they read earlier when the Doctor did those calculations while those 5 lazers were in the air already to make a plan to redirect them. I also have not seen Doctor Who, so am really only working with what the episode gave me. Lol Enjoying the content Nux!

[@BLAZE_EDTIZ]

The thing about Rick is that he seems to already KNOW who the Dr is. So I would think he knows everything about the Dr already.

[@Whispersmith646]

Box in the explainiation said there's no evidence he's watched the show, just that he know of him

[@carrot708]

He knew about Time Lords already (which makes sense as they've likely tried to intervene at least once), but not The Doctor specifically. That's why he shot the doctor twice, stood there waiting, and said 'hurry up'. He's waiting for the regeration to start before he fires again. He know how to double-tap Time Lords

[@BLAZE_EDTIZ]

@@carrot708 But he did mention that he and I quote "I'm Dr who in this Mother fucker." In that one episode. But nothing more about the time lords he called out Dr. Who specifically.

[@silverstone9836]

​@@BLAZE_EDTIZbecause that's the name of the show? Anyone would know the Doctor over what a timelord is. Besides if your quote is correct then Rick hasn't seen the show as his name is The Doctor not Doctor Who

[@Pokemaniak180]

One of Death Battle's rules is that the combatants have no prior knowledge of each other. These rules are in the credit roll

[@donutguy804]

Bro cannot grasp that the doctor only has 12 backups (until that one Christmas special)

[@Link-from-hyrule]

3:32 "what kind" instant is one of my favorite lines from the show

[@mak3x7]

In theory the doctors is easy to kill, you just have to double tap. The regeneration process is not instant and had a few hour long window. But if that doesn't work, standard time lords just have 12 lives... the doctor only has more because his regen got reset on the twelth hour. Currently he can have up to 24 lives... but honestly by the 24th in the show they will give him another 12.

[@jeckjeck3119]

Nah, regenerations came FROM The Doctor, Rassilon just removed the limiter. 12 regenerations limit is artificial, time lords could regenerate infinitely, but their government kept it limited for power and control.

[@Prince__Teclis]

Rassilon himself doesn't even know how many regenerations the Doctor has.

[@fajfejk0598]

Currently doctor has infinite amount of lives and there are only 3 ways to kill doctor while in regenrations. And he overcame all of them
