@@theduckgoesmoo No. No it isn't. If you're in a War involving time travel, it basically means the War from the perspective of the Time Lords and the Daleks, was eternity. Millions planets died, entire species were made extinct. Hell, some actually were wiped from existence as if you never remembered them, no matter how important they were to your life. In fact, it was so bad, The current Doctor at the time, The Eight Doctor tried his damn hardest to stay out of the War, but failed because the War so expansive, he could never truly escape, it got so bad, The Eight Doctor (one of the most optimistic and sweetest of The Doctors) actually stated he would rather die, and by this point, The Doctor in his previous Regeneration had gone into a War against the Monsters from the Cthulhu Mythos (You know, the creatures if you so much gaze on their true form you would go into insanity?) and WON. Hell, The Eighth Doctor would've actually died if not for the fact he was convinced to Regenerate, because if the fact if he died. The Rest of the universe would follow. That is how bad the Time War was.(Sorry for the tanget.)

"It's not like I'm an innocent. I've taken lives. And I got worse, I got clever. Manipulated people into taking their own." - The Doctor

[@RopeDrink]

@@MrOarsonMost of that speech is attributed to the 7th Doctor - who casually wiped out a billion Daleks in one single episode. He was a machiavellian schemer who would convince 90% of the antagonists to kill themselves. When you've lived and travelled as much as the Doc - facing universal threats like they're just another Tuesday - even a pacifist will break some eggs. In fact, the Doctor has a ridiculously high kill-count, even if you ignore all undesired/accidental deaths and focus only only intentional/complicit kills. The important thing is - the Doctor desperately tries to avoid as much death as non-humanly possible.

This fight perfectly protrayed the Doctor's personality.

There was a time when people didn't have cell phones so there were phone booths called police boxes that had phones directly connected to police stations for emergencies and other police to keep in contact. Not 100 percent sure but I think the Tardis was originally supposed to be some kind of chameleon ship that could take any form, but it got struck with lightning and got stuck as a police box.

[@Connor-ONeill]

Yeah, it has a thing called a "chameleon circuit" that's supposed to scan the area as the ship lands, find the best thing for a disguise and then turn into it. It landed in 1960s london, found the best disguise it could, then the circuit broke. Every TARDIS has one.

@@DIVECRAFTGAMER Nah, it's not something that gets explicitly spelled out. But Time Lords can definitely do it. Some examples: When Missy escaped from being restrained, she crossed the room and got right up behind Osgood without making a single noise in the split second she took her eyes off of her. Another time, the 7th Doctor and Ace are driving. They go into a small tunnel. Ace is driving when they go in, but when they come out a moment later the Doctor is driving. In the novelization of this episode Ace makes it clear in her internal dialogue that she has no idea how the Doctor made that happen. If multiple Time Lords show the ability to do this, I think it's pretty safe to say they can. It just doesn't come up much.

[@IrrelephantRamblings]

Funny thing is, if The Doctor tried to kill Rick, instead of just playing defensively, this would have ended in like 3 seconds. But he hates killing, he's like Rick if Rick grew up to his age, old enough to be very, very, very, very, very good at killing, but just tired of wiping out lives. Rick is still in his genocide phase nihilist phase, the Doctor has had like 3 of those. It's why he said he knows people like Rick, the nihilists, because he's been Rick more then once and it never ended well. Rick with a few thousand more years of experience could probably beat the Doctor, but this fight was putting essentially a child against a grandfather.

[@connorwood9211]

- The Doctor was pretty much nerfed in this and still outclassed Rick. Whole time he wasn't even trying to fight and trying to avoid conflict. If this was the 7th he probably could had manipulated Rick into taking his own life with words alone, which he has done plenty of times. By Time Lords standards The Doctor was considered pretty mediocre - Doctor Who is 60 years old as of this year. Out dates Men in Black by over 30 years - Screaming sun is a reference from season 3 of R&M. 7 seasons total, 4 of them been out 2019 - Police boxes were telephones used by patrolling officers to keep in contact with the stations. Was also used for meal breaks and temporary keep people is custody until transport arrival. - Tardis' disguise themselves in the environment wherever they land. They landed in 1963 so it tuned into a police box but it got stuck like that do to a fault in it's Chameleon Circuit. The Doctor's ship is actually an outdated and faulty model - Daleks could match Time Lords technology. One point even created a weapon that would wipe out the whole of reality. Like everything. - 17:26 You can see Megatron, Frieza, Darth Vader, Harley Quinn and Jinx in the background - "Why'd he sound Australian?" Scottish. David Tennant(10th Doctor) is Scottish

I loved how the Doctor was portrayed in the animation. He never directly attacks Rick through the entire fight, mostly just trying to escape or playing defense, and he is also reluctant to use his weapons like the De-Mat, which is perfect, since the Doctor is a pacifist who hates killing or using guns. It was perfect to have the Doctor fight in a more indirect way that makes use of the environment and his intelligence to make Rick defeat himself, which is exactly how the Doctor fights in the actual show, he wins by outsmarting, not by outgunning. The regeneration scene was also beautiful, the Doctor getting an epic speech is another thing that the actual show does often, and it was great how they referenced an iconic moment from the show with the "I don't wanna go" scene, but used it in another context, as in the show that line was a sad moment where the Doctor couldn't do anything to stop what would happen ("I don't wanna go, but I have no choice"), while here it is used to shut down Rick's nihilist mentality ("I don't wanna go, which is why I won't give up.") Honestly, their whole clash of ideologies was great, with Rick being a complete nihilist who thinks nothing in life means anything, and the Doctor being a altruist who sees beauty and hope in everything. This was just a really good episode in terms of how the fighters were characterized.

[@jayburn00]

Rick killing himself basically is very in character for how the doctor operates. He outsmarts and tricks his adversaries into destroying themselves usually. That said, he has gone on the offensive at times. Ever heard the tale of colonel runaway? The doctor was so pissed he forced a surrendered enemy to basically change his name to Colonel runaway to humiliate him.

[@zacjumpman209]

Police boxes were a special type of phone booth used by London police in the 50's and 60's. The TARDIS has a "chameleon circuit" which allows it to disguise itself as anything in its environment. However, when the Doctor made a pit stop in 60's London, the circuit broke down and the TARDIS became stuck as a police box, and the Doctor just never got around to fixing it.

[@largo778]

actually he has fixed it on a few times, the TARDIS just likes being a Police Box so he just gave up fixing it eventually

[@jayburn00]

A little dark fact about The Doctor, despite his often playful and light hearted personality, he is responsible for multiple genocides and xenocides, both directly and indirectly. He has made several people immortal purely by accident (sometimes indirectly in the case of jack harkness), including one who forever remained a child physically and survived to the very end of time.

[@maxacorn]

fun fact: while they said the doctor is about 2000 years old, technically he's much much older. like several billion years old. its...........complicated.

[@arkthegreenwolfx3627]

Actually he's roughly 3000+ years old. After 1000 years old, starting with the 8th Doctor, he started recounting. So anytime he mentions his age in the revival, just add 1000 onto that.

[@localcomicnerd]

Arguably much older due to the whole timeless child stuff

[@kriegerh]

Peter Capaldi's doctor was put in time lord jail for a 2 billion years time loop until he literally punched his way out. So yes....... physically he's about 3k ish but he did experience more than a couple billion years to his life.

[@localcomicnerd]

@kriegerh if you count the timeless child it's much older

[@whydoistillusethissite8626]

just a heads up for people, the next fight isn't so much a "Goku vs Superman 3" as it is a reboot. It's no secret that the info in the older episodes is VERY outdated and Death Battle's research methodology has evolved a lot in the 8 years since Goku vs Superman 2 in 2015. So this is them tackling this debate again using their modern research Ben Singer (the voice of Wiz) has also gone on record to say he despised Goku vs Superman 2, saying that was an episode he wanted to undo, for how it portrayed both characters. So don't expect "Superman is Infinite = The End" to be a win-condition this time (though if Goku Black vs Reverse Flash and Vegeta vs Thor is anything to go by, it doesn't matter. Supes is still winning). They even renamed the older 2 episodes and called Goku vs Superman 2 "The Irrelevant Sequel" just to drive home the fact that the entire Death Battle team disowns that fight. Also according to Death Battle the episode is meant to be a send off to both characters, meaning they won't appear again after it is all said and done. Which is kinda sad because there are some great matchups for both Goku and Superman that doesn't involve each other, like Goku vs Jin Mori (from The God of Highschool) or Superman vs Optimus Prime.

The reason they're doing Goku vs Superman 3 is for a few reasons: - Ben wanted to do something special for Season 10, as that's a huge milestone for the show, and Goku vs Supes is arguably their most well-known episode, so having a rematch feels apt - The show has come a long way since their early seasons and the way they conduct their research is vastly different than how it was when the first two came out - Most, if not all, of the Death Battle team consider Goku vs Superman 2 as something of a failure, evident by them changing the titles of the two previous episodes to be "Goku vs Superman | The Classic One" and "Goku vs Superman 2 | The Irrelevant Sequel"

Doctor Who isy favorite series of all time, and the Doctor himself is my favorite character in fiction. Death Battle really portrayed him fantastically and this episode was one of my favorites. And the funny thing is. The REALLY funny thing is...they really used the absolute bear minimum. The Demat gun is really cool, but it's basically a Time Lord equivalent of an infantry rifle. Looking at things like The Moment, The Eye of Harmony, The Glory, all things which are more like Time Lord WMDs, it's nothing. The Doctor has several methods of becoming an all-powerful reality warper who can rewrite causality post-hoc to ensure he made it to that point. Even without those things the laws of cause and effect twist to his needs subconsciously as all of reality wants him to succeed and knows how important he is. That doesn't even get into how the TARDIS, despite being an outdated and faulty model, is a legitimate contender for the most powerful artifact in fiction, considering two of them fought the Quantum Archangel and forced her to retreat (a being that had merged with the underlying fabric of reality and basically WAS reality made manifest and given a will). Rick is a crazy, multiversal tiered super-genius and yet he is so many degrees of magnitude beneath the Doctor that it's frankly one of the most one-sided matchups Death Battle has ever had if they had actually used everything.

I would highly recommend checking Doctor Who out if this Death Battle got you a bit intrigued. Best part is, you don't even need knowledge of the original run that started in the 60s and ended in the 80's; the 2005 revival is the best place to start, and there will be several callbacks to the original run that may pique your interest into checking, IF you decide to go down this rabbit hole at all. It is worth nothing though, a good amount of episodes involving the First and Second Doctor from 1966-1969 are presumed lost forever, as the BBC didn't see any value in preserving anything until into the early 70s, though there have slowly been animated recreations of those lost episodes using the audio that survived in certain cases.

[@navifairy6287]

Doctor Who started airing in 1963 and Men In Black was first published in 1990. Torchwood is closer to being a British Men In Black and it's a spin-off of Doctor Who. The Torchwood Institute was established by Queen Victoria after an encounter with the Doctor and Rose Tyler. It is meant to fight against supernatural and alien threats, which she included the Doctor in that list, as she found his actions and mannerisms too strange. Ironically one of the Doctor's former companions became the head of Torchwood. Torchwood is also an anagram for Doctor Who.

Piss off Rick and he'll kill you. Piss off The Doctor and he'll make it his mission to keep you alive. No matter how creative he has to get.

To answer your question: A police box was like a phone to call for help or for officers to call for backup. It would also be used to contain violent suspects until help could arrive. Kinda like a mini-jail

[@RookMeAmadeus]

Why Goku Vs Superman 3? From what I've been able to find, it sounds like it's going to be a combination of ALL OF THEIR POWERS, EVER, across all media this time. In which case I'm pretty sure Goku loses horrendously because Pre-crisis Superman was basically a reality warper.

Doctor Who is a British science fiction television programme produced by the BBC. To date, 875 episodes of Doctor Who have aired. This includes one television movie and multiple specials, and encompasses 304 stories over 39 seasons with 15 incarnations of the Doctor starting in 1963 and is the longest-running science-fiction TV series in history.

[@chrisdiokno5600]

Police Boxes, from what I recall reading, were basically booths where officers would be in, and you could call on them for aid

[@TAGfrost]

The team wasn't happy with the 2nd vs of Goku v Superman, corporate entities got involved and mucked up their video and the fans noticed and got mad.

[@ExplodingJellyfish]

From my knowledge, Police Boxes were used in the streets in the UK in the early 1940s that were close to what you say, the college campus emergency stations, but had a few more uses. For example, the Police Public Call Boxes have a telephone in the front compartment to call police, but also policemen could put criminals they've caught inside the police box and lock it, in which they could call the station and have backup come pick up the criminal to be brought into custody.

This episode is by far my favourite out of this season so far. As for the next time: I think we all know how this is going to end, so if he loses again I doubt they will do the match up ever again.

[@patricklatham3897]

Well, back in the 1960s, the Police Box was a phone box designed for cops to reach the station for backup while simultaneously holding a suspect or perpetrator inside.

[@tython055]

The Police Box is from the 1950s, actually. 9th Doctor confirms this in the first episode of the Doctor Who revival series, aka Doctor Who Series 1 Episode 1.

That wasn’t Idris Elba, that was Ncuti Gatwa (the 14th Doctor). On that note: over the weekend, I had a conversation with a fellow Whovian (one who doesn’t particularly care for the forced-woke writing of the newest seasons), and he said he thinks Idris Elba would be _perfect_ for the role of the Doctor. And I honestly agree.

[@smugsneasel]

15:12 Yeah it absolutely is. Never underestimate it. While I can't relate because mine is year-round, won't leave, and eats all my food, those who aren't used to isolation, especially in areas with freezing cold/rain and heavy snowfall, really do need to make an extra effort to get themselves healthy and stimulated around winter months. Even if it seems trivial at first.

[@JackassJunior627]

To kill a time lord fully is to kill them in the process of regeneration. They did explain that but I think you were talking over it 😅 Time Lords can be killed the same as a human but the regeneration is their last attempt of cheating death. Typically from stab/gunshot wounds, radiation poisoning, old age, internal damage, or anything that isn’t decapitation.

[@redraven123]

To answer the question at the end, they're using Dragon Ball Heroes for Goku - meaning he'll have all his modern powers like Ultra Instinct, on top of a massive boost to his strength. And they're using Infinite Frontier for Superman - which is basically just Superman, but even more busted.

The pickle in question here is a cucumber based one and cucumbers are in fact a fruit. They have seeds and grow from flowering plants. That is how you can tell the difference between fruits and vegetables. Berries are mostly in the fruit category but since not all berries come from flowering plants they're given a class on their own.

[@frasechico]

Something that makes the Daleks completely terrifying stems from an unmentioned ability; Time Lords have In-Universe plot armor. Because they were part of the reason the Universe is less magic and more science, when a time lord is in danger the Universe may look at it and change certain things to give an edge. And The Daleks almost wiped them out. Not bad for machines initially designed as transport for a dying race.

[@frasechico]

Mind they do have a rather painful weakness; One gained the ability to feel sympathy and immediately killed itself

[@vivithegoblindruid]

Rick never shown the ability to use the death touch on the fly, the only time he reliably used it he had to go to the oval office and wait, so I suppose they assume it requires prep, which, given that he never used it again, seems like the right call.

[@largo778]

from the looks of it, they are doing DRAGONBALL (the original) Goku vs Superman (Golden Age comics, not the current)

[@featherguardian6023]

At First I didn’t know who would’ve Won, they’re both seemingly Unstoppable but I remember that while Rick is a Problem Solver with a Random Arsenal that made him into a Advanced Super Human, The Doctor is a Literal British Time God with a Knowledge beyond Anything Rick could do, 9 out of 10, a Great Death Battle with Clean Animation and Funny Rick and Morty Energy plus a Screaming Sun, next Death Battle is Another Goku vs Superman One that I’m hoping it’s the Last One.

[@danielwilson8604]

to quickly explain the fruit/vegetable thing, if it's grown ABOVE the ground, it's a fruit (trees, vines, etc). below, it's a vegetable. that's a very simplified version and there's other things, but it generally holds true.

[@spugnoxngubcux9801]

Apparently something in the DC comics happened that gave Superman limits to consider. I don't know the specifics, but apparently the main continuity is different from the last time these two fought.

Kinda a police box is a well box in which a policeman might sit, have a cup of tea and use it as a camp site on their patrols throughout London, since London is typically wet or raining or cloudy it’s mostly just used as a form of shelter for any nearby police officers, along with a telephone built into it.

the reason the Tardis looks like a blue police box is because they have the ability to change aperance depending on where they are to fit in. his is broken so it cant change anymore but he likes the look of the police box so he never bothered to get it fixed iirc

[@jordanhansen5934]

A police box is something that used to be all over the UK. Think of it as a temporary holding cell. Let’s say a police officer arrested a random crook or a drunk on the street. They’d simply be able to shove them into one of these blue boxes for temporary containment and then use the phone built into the box (in a small hatch) to call for backup and a way to transfer them to prison. The phone also doubled as a way for police officers to check in with their home office.

[@weaponmaster1515]

The doctor is like a multiple personality symptoms kinda guy

[@TheOriginalJphyper]

9:04 "Why is there a tank?" Because he's The Doctor. Seriously, him riding a modern tank into a medieval battle arena while wearing sunglasses (at night), playing rock music on an electric guitar, and shouting dad jokes doesn't even faze us Who fans. We don't even question how he managed to fit a tank into his TARDIS considering it lost its ability to change the size of its external doors in the very first episode.

"British Men In Black" would be Torchwood (the spin-off of Doctor Who) A police box was a telephone kiosk or callbox for the use of members of the police, or for members of the public to contact the police.

[@RaphaelRavenwing]

A police box is a public telephone kiosk or callbox for the use of members of the police, or for members of the public to contact the police. It was used in some countries, most widely in the United Kingdom throughout the 20th century from the early 1920s. Unlike an ordinary callbox, its telephone was located behind a hinged door so it could be used from the outside, and the interior of the box was, in effect, a miniature police station for use by police officers to read and fill in reports, take meal breaks and even temporarily hold detainees until the arrival of transport. The typical British police box contained a telephone linked directly to the local police station, allowing patrolling officers to keep in contact with the station, reporting anything unusual or requesting help if necessary. A light on top of the box would flash to alert an officer that they were requested to contact the station. Police boxes were usually blue, with the most notable exception being Glasgow, where they were red until the late 1960s. In addition to a telephone, they contained equipment such as an incident book, a fire extinguisher and a first aid kit. - Wikipedia

For me, it was a bit of a letdown compared to the previous episodes, but still a great episode overall. I think they could have had a bit more fun with the dimensions and time travel stuff, and had Rick use more of his weapons, but overall a great episode. Also when are Morty, Morty Jr, Beth and Summer going to be erased? If Rick was never born, they wouldn't have been either.

(Oh, and as for which Goku and Superman they're using, it's the ones from Dragon Ball Heroes and Infinite Frontiers - composites of their best, so to say.

Something death battle missed out was The Doctor Could Multiversal travel as well, it just it extremly dangerous and the Timelord had rules in place about it. and rick can do time travel yet has to deal with the Time Police the doctor on the other hand never has to deal with them since he does not interfere with the laws of time, plus his tech is more advanced.
