I disagree. I don't get what another movie set in the 20th century takes away from anything?

Just two years ago this concept wouldn't be controversial at all … urgh

Personally, I only have young aunts.

You think our foundational principles are the problem and not the fact that we elected someone with no respect for them (or anything)?

- It seems to me that a large element of one's identity is lost in regeneration. It isn't just a change in physical form. It isn't crazy to think someone would see that as a quasi death and not want to change.

Day of the Doctor aired in November 2013. Capaldi has done three full seasons with an off year. So his run has been just as long as Smith and Tennant

How many Time Lord have literally committed a temporal murder-suicide?

I have Game of Thrones if I want to see characters violently cut down.

Well, at least to the film makers credit, they only tried to pass Maquire off as a high school for the intro and made him a 20s something for the rest of the franchise. Unlike Amazing Spider-Man … sheesh

If Peter was born when his parents were in their 30s, and we assume Uncle Ben/Aunt May are about 10 years older than that, it wouldn't be that weird May to be in her 60s/70s during Peter's college/post-grad years.

The original X-Men trilogy obviously wasn't designed with sustaining 20 years of movies in mind.

Days of Future Past would have been inconceivable 20 years ago. If film franchises aren't allowed to get more complicated than Star Wars/Indiana Jones style trilogies, there is no way you're getting a big "What If" scenario like that on the big screen.

Yes, the cinematic universe concept allows for story structure much closer to comic book story arcs that these characters steem from than the traditional film trilogy structure.

Most MCU movies don't expect you to have seen the preceding ones. You can watch Avengers without having seen a single one of the movies building up to it and still follow the story. Even if it continues story lines from other movies, you are quickly filled in one what is escpeically important to know.

I need Gen X to get its shit together! I'd do it myself but I won't be 35 until well after the 2020 election

As cool as it would be. I think there is a 5% chance of Maisie Williams returning and a 99% chance of Jenna Coleman returning in either a flashback or with the Doctor encountering modern in a pre-Face the Raven timeline.

There is something fundamentally wrong with us for not buying as many shiny rocks as our parents.

The xmas special is probably going to 95% be about 1/12 being cranky together.

He got hit with a couple cyberman lasers

I don't think it is possible. But I'd be really suprised if the Orient Express Guy/Minister of War got addressed. That would basically have to be the whole plot of the episode.
