They Make Me Insane

people also use this idea of the show "falling off" to just be misogynistic. Jodie whittaker is a fantastic actress, as seen in other projects she's acted in, and blaming her for personal dislikes with the writing is horrible and inexcusable. I think she has some great episodes, and i think there were some misses. But the same applies to every single doctor. There is something to be said about your first doctor having a special place in your heart, but that shouldn't be turned into hating every single other doctor, or using that fondness as an excuse to attack the show for diversity. For instance people are coming out and calling doctor who "woke" now, as if it hasnt always included lgbtq characters??? Yes, some of the dialogue around rose in the 60th anniversary special was clunky, but it wasnt awful and most importantly it didnt distract from the episode. If the fee pieces of dialogue about Rose being nonbinary destroyed the episode for you i can guarantee its because you could not move on from it due to hatred, not because it overwhelmed the episode. There have always been lgbtq characters in doctor who, but i think that usually its not focused on or explicitly stated as much because of the differences in culture and acceptance. It is brought up around Rose in the special in regards to her own personal struggle with identity and the discrimination she faces. Most other characters for are queer in the show just are, and its accepted by the culture thay surrounds them. Lets not forget Jack Harkness, who would flirt with anything that could consent, Jenny and Vastra, reptile from the dawn of time and her wife. River Song had a wife, clara said she and jane austin kissed, BILL. I mean 11 met a transgender horse!!! Attacking newer episodes and eras for containing queer characters and claiming to love 10 and 11s era is hypocritical and outright weird.

Anyway, long tangent to say; i agree with OP that people romanticize earlier eras and are steadfast in their beliefs that newer eras and soctors will be trash, which is just not a great outlook. I also wanted to add the layer of people who are angry at the new "wokeness" while loving old eras.

hot take but i think some whovians who believe doctor who was at its best with tennant or smith will never be happy with the show. comparing new episodes to the feeling of nostalgia is a fight that no showrunner or actor can win. there were issues with moffat and chibnall's eras of course but they were by no means the train wrecks that people say. i've been rewatching some of tennant's run and let me just say, if some of those stories had whittaker in the titles then they would have been ripped to shreds. it's okay to have rose-coloured glasses (pun intended) for a particular era but man. people are setting themselves up for disappointment when the vibes of the new era aren't exactly the same as the original rtd run. i can see it now.

Peak character development is the angel spending enough time on earth (with his disaster husband) to become That Guy

im not even christian i sound insane. but the real ones get it and im right

good omens fans are cowards they're all like "ooh teehee my gay bible fanfic" meanwhile it is an entirely made up angel and demon. they are bible ocs. REAL bible fujoshis watch jcs. and ship the real actual canon judas and jesus. from the bible

its on sight

reblog to put john winchester in the meat grinder!!!!!!!! mince him!!!!!!!

The Mavity thing is godsent honestly because it's such a good counter argument for future drama. "This story was too silly" on the Mavity show? "This episode went so drastically against canon" an episode of the Mavity show? "That made no sense" on the show where they retconned gravity? "They race-swapped Isaac Newton but he was a real person who was white" you mean the same episode that also renamed the real life concept of gravity?

Today, I'm thinking about Jesus Christ Superstar again (specifically the 2012 live arena version). Im thinking about how raw and desperate and viceral all of it is. Thinking about the inherit guilt and shame and anger is jesus and judas. How they can rail against the narrative all they want, can drag their feet towards the end, can go kicking and screaming, and it will end up the same anyway. How hard they fight against their fate, desperate to be heard. Judas begging Jesus to trust him, to listen to his concerns. "Listen Jesus, I don't like what I see. All I ask is that you listen to me, " Jesus begging God to have mercy, to answer the cries of his knly son. "God, god, why have you forsaken me?". Anout how Jesus begged for him mother as he was dying, about how scared and alone he was. Thinking about how Judas was right the whole time, that they did turn against Jesus, that it was out of his control. Jesus did want him, need him, to betray him for the sake of gods plan. "You wanted me to do it,". Thinking about how Judas didn't go to the rally with Jesus in hosanna, isntead watching over him from afar. About how all of the zealots who only saw jesus as a savior, half god half sacrificial lamb, and how judas was the only one not there. Thinking about anachronisms and using each others name like a curse. "You liar, you Judas." "Christ you deserve it. " Thinking about the love that threads them together, even if its not enough to save either of the.

literally hes just a little guy and he has nothing to apologize for

I’m not a Dean apologist because Dean has done too much wrong that I can’t justify, and I’m not a Cas apologist because Cas has never done anything wrong in his life

hes just like us fr

Can i just point out how fucking deranged it was for jackles to say dean's biggest regret was not being able to save cas instead of saying it was dying on that piece of rebar. Cuz jackles fucking HATES the rebar. We know this. He dunks on it every chance he gets. This wouldve been a great opportunity to rag on it disguised as a ha ha funny joke. But instead he. he
