Honestly I'd love to see DiMartino and Konietzko adapt the series in animation. I feel like that would fit the style and spunk of the series so much more than just a feature film.

Agreed. FF is what made me love Scott Lang and defend the existence of this Ant-man movie and his role in it. It's just so utterly charming in every single way.

Evidently Patriot was supposed to appear in the second run of Young Avengers but Marvel told Gillen he wasn't allowed to use him because he was going to be used in another project that ended up never happening.

Yes, I think we disagree about Donna. I feel about her arc the way you feel about Amy's. That ultimately the ending was about making the Doctor sad and not about what Donna wanted or felt. It's kind of a classic example of a woman in a refrigerator as her "death" exists to fuel the Doctor's story.

I agree Donna's arc wasn't about finding a man and that's why I dislike the ending of having her be married and acting like she should be happy after the Doctor forcibly wiped her memories despite her protests. The same with Rose. I think the way marriage is used in those contexts delegitimizes their arcs because…

I agree, so then why is it a problem that Amy's arc is realizing that she doesn't need the Doctor and Neverland and to settle down with Rory? Amy was always looking to escape life and run away, her accepting reality is a big character goal.

I'm not going to argue with you about Moffat being sexist, but I really think it's a disservice to discussions about sexism to only focus on Moffat and give RTD a pass for his sexist moments. You can think RTD's characters are the shit but I feel like there was a lot of sexism in his stories too. All of his female…

While we might not agree overall, as I said I actually agree that Clara needed stronger characterization, there were issues with Amy's story, and that Moffat has a type of lady he likes to write. I just disagree that they react in the same way and I think they have different concepts. Clara comes from a very…

I didn't call you lazy and of course you can have a different opinion and I am sorry it came across as calling you personally lazy. My point I was trying I think calling all of the characters above the same is lazy or shortsighted criticism because it ignores that they clearly have different stories and motivations…

Honestly, I found Waters of Mars to be the Tenth Doctor at his most annoying, topped only by End of Time which I consider one of Who's worst episodes. It's very cynical, the Doctor is whiny and uninteresting and rife with martyrdom. I don't hate drama in Who, but with the Tenth in those specials it became so…

Personally, I don't find it hard to determine between Amy, River, and Clara at all. River is obviously the most flirty and intelligent. Clara is sassy and faster talking. Amy is someone who goes in between harshness and bits of vulnerability. And if your argument is that they have different attitudes towards the…

I actually really feel like Rose regressed as a character. At first she was the girl exploring the universe and be appreciated for things that she didn't expect herself to be capable of. Then her character became about making the Doctor look good and being in a really co-dependent relationship with him. Rose in S4…

Er. Have you ever seen an interview with Karen Gillan? She is the most "edge"-less person I have ever seen. The edge in the character is how the character is written and Gillan plays it as such.
Hence, Amy wouldn't really have a conversation with the TARDIS. She'd be a lot more demanding and make no attempt to…

In all honesty, I think it's super lazy to write Amy/River/Clara off as samey. That's like saying Rose and Martha are samey because they both love the Doctor. Moffat writes dialogue in a specific way due to his sitcom background and it's not just his female characters I don't really see how you could replace Clara…

I agree. There is a lot to criticize about Moffat's female characters but RTD isn't god's gift to female characters either. He did a lot of terrible stuff as you mentioned above. I think the thing is both writers have a particular view of what women ARE and they write like that. Moffat thinks women are super…

I agree. I feel like they could get away with not having her have any character development because she was only there for 7 episodes (I will fight anyone who says she has no personality, but she definitely has little character development). If she'd been through the entire Series 7 I feel like it would have forced…

I agree.
I always wonder where the MOFFAT FEASTS ON YOUR TEARS thing came from. The guy seems pretty clear that he likes sentimental and decently happy endings for his characters. RTD is ultimately a lot more cynical and brutal in his character treatment.

I don't mean he had it easier in showrunning. I think he has it easier when it comes to comparisons because he set the bar. The way he did Doctor Who became the way many people believed is the only way Doctor Who should be done.

The emotional stuff packed a punch but I feel like a lot of the time RTD wrote emotions for the sake of emotions as opposed to them being logical for the character and plot. I feel like Journey's End is the biggest offender. End of Time too. However, I do think Moffat goes too far in the opposite direction.
