I hope so. Then in 20 years after culture has stabilised it can be rebooted again.

Lore has been damaged irreparably. Show can only be rebooted if everything after 2017 is explicitly retconned and there is some clause preventing any showrunner from undoing that retcon. Otherwise, show should stay dead.

Nobody is allowed to be gay in this world and every woman must be a mother. Black gay Doctor slowly realises he is gay and then confronts the Indian Rani.

I heard that Disney official canonised the black doctor seasons as seasons 1 and 2
I also heard that they brought back Donna Noble to imply she now has a trans MTF child called Rose

I tried watching some multi-hour long Doctor Who hate reviews on youtube, but the only ones I saw were creepy lefties who mocked the idea of pointing out agendas
Yet one of them spent an hour criticising how the episode Kerblam did not critique capitalism, and how it was out of character for the Doctor to love the delivery corporation

The fanbase got infested with troons and fags during the Matt Smith era. As the show got shitter they were the only ones to stick around. Sad
>>
>>214264820
Well Matt Smith era was clearly written for that Tumblr stereotype that loves dorky lulrandom "genius" men, and stupid love triangles
But even these people now make 5 hour video essays on how shit Doctor Who is, even if they avoid the elephant in the room
>>
>>214264887

that tumblr stereotype hadn’t fomented yet. How could it be written for the Superwholock crowd when they didn’t yet form? Nah it was written for Moffat to smell his own farts. Boomers didn’t even know what tumblr was
>>

You're wrong there
I literally lived through it, my cousin was a tumblr user, I was a doctor who fan, and I got to see the overlap of both

Okay I see what you're saying
You just mean that it wasn't a two-way thing, the doctor who writers (boomers) didn't know about their obnoxious tumblr fanbase
But I also disagree with that, tumblr folk used to get loud, doctor who had conventions, and doctor who writers usually keep an ear to the group because they love to parody real things
They parodied internet culture sometimes too, I'm sure they had a couple of brony references

When those BBC writers made Sherlock or Matt Smith completely naked for a quirky scene, they know exactly who they are pleasing

I agree that just because to things shared the same era does not mean they have anything to do with each other
But the difference is that the Matt Smith era and Tumblr are strongly correlated.
You agree that tumblr-type people loved Matt Smith, you agree that this community was loud and obnoxious, yet you aren't willing to believe that the BBC was aware of these people and leant towards them?
The BBC monitored fan reactions, and the production team knew Tumblr, LiveJournal, and later Twitter were hotbeds of activity. Moffat in interviews often spoke about "the fans on the internet" sometimes defensively, sometimes teasingly. Writers and actors attended Comic Con and other events where the online fandom spilled over into real life.
It wasn’t like RTD era (2005–2009) which mostly saw discussion on forums and LiveJournal
Moffat’s team came in at the moment where Tumblr culture was defining mainstream geek fandom, and Moffat leant into it

>>
>>214265522
Productions didn’t rengage with their internet fanbase on an intimate level until the post-2013 parasocial corporate brand account boon really. I remember MLP being the first of its kind to try and they instantly fucked it up by doing le ableism and referring to the retard pony as the fan-naming of “derpy hooves”. I think I remember reading about Matt Smith being confused by how young and female his fanbase skewed when he was doing the convention circuits.

>>214262387
if it weren't for British citizens forced to fund this shit through Stasi-like levels of government intimidation and bullying into buying TV licenses, this show would have died a long time ago.

If you feel the need to finish the Capaldi era, just watched Series 9 and then skip to the finale of Series 10. The rest isn't really worth it. Capaldi is based though
>>
>>214264425
I think if they do continue it, they may have a second time war as the ending to make rebooting later easier
However instead of this second war being contained in the past, it happens in the future and causes the heat death of the universe, which results in the events of Utopia

>I thought the D+ era was supposed to be a clean entry point.
There's two possibilities. One, RTD went mad with power, assuming everything he touched would be gold. Two, the "clean entry point" stuff was a lie, because the real intention was to hook viewers with continuity references that would lead new viewers to binge older Who on Disney+.
>>
>>214266293
I've been watching for over 20 yeats and I don't understand it. It's completely unapproachable to a new viewer

>>
>>214266293
>thought the D+ era was supposed to be a clean entry point.
that was a lie, they only said that to make Disney happy because they wanted "Season 1" of Doctor Who, not Season 16 or whatever it would have been.
>>
>>214262387
The biggest downfall of Doctor Who is toxic positivity. And I argue a huge part of that came from the goddamn system of the Showrunner writing half of the fucking stories.

There weren't people in the writing and editing room who said no. This is how we ended up with shit like Space Babies ans the Pro Corporation Genociding people episodes.

You have writers patting themselves on the back. "Oh I did such a great job making Donna's daughter trans. I'm going to have her not do anything for the rest of the two seasons, she's gonna disappear because Conrad made all trans people cease to exist, and then I'll have Belinda say that every trans person being dead is okay as ling as she gets to keep her fake baby. That won't upset the fans."

They basically replicated everything wrong with the live action Snow White movie, resulting in a show that became racist and homophobic from the far left. The Horseshoe theory essentially. Black villians get a chance of redemption while most (not all cause of Conrad) white villians are killed or punished. Entire episodes are dedicated to trying to highlight race or disabilities instead of treatong those cast members like regular fucking people. Story messgaes become far less thoughtful. Instead of showing how bad racism can be, the show just bluntly states it is without any thought provoking story to pair with the message. Compare Dot and Bubble to Rememberance of the Daleks to see what I mean regarding the message of race.

I pray to god three things happen
1. RTD and the other three fucks are sacked
2. Doctor Who is made to be more for adults. Fuck making it a children's show
3. A public apology for fucking Ncuti Gatwa over so much
>>
>>214272495
Dot and Bubble is such a confusing one too because if it was written for 11 in mind then the message was "zoomer phone kids are stupid" but somehow it became "RACISMMMM THEY HATE THE DOCTOR CAUSE HE BLACK NOW"
>>
>>214272942
How would they have ended it for 11?
>>
>>214273126
Probably the same way but without the "actually the zoomer kids are racists"
RTD said he pitched the episode during when Matt Smith was the Doctor
>>
>>214272942
Let me fix Dot and Bubble

>Concept still same at start. Planet is pretty vain about themselves
>No fucking slugs. Instead there's a mysterious illness that's starting to spread on the planet
>The ai/robot villian creates deepfake videos of deceased victims saying "I found a way to cure it"
>Unregulated misinformation spreads like wildfire, killing more of the population off
>Doctor isn't trusted because he's an alien. Neither is Ruby.
>As Doctor and Ruby try to find a cure, the Doctor discovers that before he landed on the planet, these people were akin to the cyberme /daleks. A warrior race who wanted death to all outsiders and were even planning to drop aerial strikes upon a nearby planet out of fear of an invasion (ie preemptive strike)
>Ai, fearing war would lead to it's own death, started off killing everyone in the military before targetting the teens/kids of the planet
>Doctor keeps pleading with the teens to just trust him.
>Instead of a twist villian, we get a twist hero where one kid does and runs out. The rest of the race saying he is an exile and to never come back.
>Doctor takes the teen with him and comforts him on the ship. It becomes abudantly clear that the ai will kill off the rest of his species on the planet. The Doctor can't save the race because the cure is an oral pill and their own hatred and the manipulation by both ai and their parents caused them to become untrusting. They'd rather die recording themselves for an archive that will be lost in years time instead of taking that leap into admitting they're wrong and that they need help
>Ai will die in a few years due to power running out on the planet and it can't launch weapons at other planets without it wasting the last of it's energy that it has, so Doctor just leaves the planet
>Teen becomes the next male companion in the group with his character arc revolving around trust and dealing with fear. He almost becomes a full on ludite because of the ai

I forgot to say. Yes it's a covid allegory. No it's not aimed at the far right alone. I saw equally retarded people on the left as well. Healing crystals won't save you and neither will drinking bleach.

>Compare Dot and Bubble to Rememberance of the Daleks to see what I mean regarding the message of race
Remembrance would be derided as anti-Leave wokeness if it came out nowadays, given the white male romantic interest for Ace is a racist fascist who talks about defending his country from immigrants. The only major distinction is that McCoy treats the two female scientists as mules he delivers exposition to.

>>Episode about previous companion Ruby. She meets a white guy who turns out to be an evil conspiracy theorist. Black gay Doctor appers at the end and tells him that he'll die alone in a prison
the worst thing is, this was the best one.
>>
>>214279975
so, some point in the Pertwee years?
>>
>>214277588
But that was the point if the entire episode was to show how retarded it is to fight over race/color.

The two warring daleks are practically the same minus a paint job. If they had united together, they could have killed off the human race. Instead their distracted war resulted in the near extinction of their entire species.

So it could even more generalized as needing to overcome your distaste for others (whether religion, race, etc) to ensure the survival of your people.
>>
>>214277721
Honestly would be nice to return to an older Doctor again like Pertwee or Capaldi. The actors who were in their 40s or older always seemed to have this idea of what their version of the doctor was that isn't just "haha im quirky".
