I really wish we could have kicked Chibnall to the curb and kept Jodie on for another season or two under a different showrunner, just so she’d have an opportunity to show her true colors as a Doctor under more competent leadership (and scriptwriting).

Sadly, I think she’s destined to be the new series version of…

Same could be said for Capaldi really.  Lots of potential wasted there too.

Jeez, have any more comments to leave about Gal Gadot?! You’re having a crap fit all over this thread. Are you Palestinian? Did Gal Gadot personally hurt you? Or do you just simp for Ashley professionally? 

You know, something really troubling is how so many people have used Palestine as an excuse to fully pull off their masks and allow their antisemitism breathe right out in the open.

what is wild is i have yet to see a comment to this article i disagree with, even when they’re presented in opposition to each other.

Okay.

I mean, he does have a point. Rogue One was one of the high water marks for the Star Wars franchise since Disney bought out Lucasfilm. It’s pretty much that, and Mandalorian season 1. (Season 2 was still good, but went a bit heavy on fan pandering, IMHO)

I used to visit this site a ton some 6-7 years ago. Visited now just out of curiousity and the drop in quaity here is astounding. Crazy that this is the same site that Charlie Jane and Annalee started. This is some gossiprag quality of article. A shame.

I haven’t, and have no interest in doing so. But I never said Whedon doesn’t have issues with sexualizing women. In fact, I have said the exact opposite many times, and even in my OP I said Whedon fetishised small breasts.

Its sad to see happen but its so clearly from on high. Kotaku has become even worse to the point I don’t even read them anymore. I get the media landscape is shifting right out from under them but to see these sites go down this path is sad. This is one step above those clickbait sites that just make stuff up.

I09 has a real bad habit of giving something a good review and then reversing course when they see how the wind is blowing in later articles (almost entirely to cash in on need social media rage)

Why is it so hard to hold two positions at the same time that is both likely true.
Joss Whedon is an asshole. Justice League was bad because Justice League was a f***ing terrible production. You don’t have to link Joss Whedon to every bad thing. Especially when the bad things he is accused of are REALLY FUCKING BAD!…

It seems like A LOT of the narrative being written, in the wake of the Carpenter tweets, is that Whedon was the primary issue with Justice League and Snyder is going to be the savior here.

Age of Ultron really isn’t that bad - flawed, yes, but not bad - and the blame for its flaws is not entirely Whedon’s fault - there is a reason Feigue moved to get rid of Perlmutter and the story comittee after AoU.

But it’s not a technical manual, is it now?

RTD coming back would save Doctor Who for me. The current showrunner has legitimately ruined the show for me to the point where I stopped after the Harkness episode last season

I’m pretty sure the final scene confirmed Jack’s immortality was restored, and an another dude was made immortal, but yeah, who cares? Happy to have that resolution off screen. And Bill Pullman’s last lines were definitely something to that effect.

If I recall correctly, his last words were him saying that he was going to chase after his child victim in the afterlife. Yeah, I don’t know what the hell they were thinking — did they want us to root for him?

Yea, well maybe RTD should come back and do The Return of Donna Noble himself, if he thinks he’s so smart.

The problem here is with the BBC. The BBC inherently has zero interest in Doctor Who, but keeps doing it because it makes money. You’d think they would like money and the fact that they can license the show to other countries (like with HBO Max), but RTD wrote extensively in The Writer’s Tale about how he had to…
