The most annoying thing for most fans is that it doubles down on all of the things that have made so many potentially good films and shows go so wrong in the past two or so years.Ī Female Lead (Because Diversity y’all): I think Jodie Whittaker is actually not a bad choice for the Doctor I think her character is a bit too much Tennant/Smith lite and the costume is a bit naff but She’s done pretty well and I think those shortcomings are more down to the writers than anything else. I actually think that a lot of complaints about most female leads recently (Being a Mary Sue, doesn’t need help from anybody, no flaws at all) actually make the Doctor a pretty good role for a woman. The Doctor is meant to be hyper intelligent, competent and adaptable, you can’t just complain about the Doctor being overpowered because honestly, that’s the Doctor’s whole schtick. That being said, it’s obvious to anyone with half a brain that they went with a female lead because diversity. We didn’t need a female doctor, it wasn’t necessary and to be frank, the Doctor is probably best left male. Those who complain about the lack of female leads generally also want to stop young boys being exposed to so many macho, gung ho action man male leads. In comparison the Doctor runs away, is a pacifist, uses his intelligence, empathy and diplomacy to solve problems and forgives genocidal maniacs who killed his people.

He’s probably the best role model for young boys out there and making the Doctor a woman doesn’t really bring anything to the character.Ī Diverse cast (Because we need dark skin and women to not be racist): I don’t mind having a diverse cast per se but the reasons for it have to be related to telling the story and not just for the sake of diversity. I would prefer that instead of focusing on hiring actors for their skin colour or including disabilities or cancer just for those extra diversity points that they write characters with greater diversity of thought and then hire whichever actor best suits the role. The main point of Doctor who is to tell morality tales and explore current issues or potential future issues in a way that is entertaining and not overly taxing or preachy. Focusing on the way characters think and how they agree or conflict with the Doctor (and indeed the villain) makes for a far better story. It would be far more interesting to have someone with High Functioning Autism or a properly written Psychopath be a companion and see how they deal with conflicts and ethical conundrums.
