Yo! I'm Knightly, RU-vidr extraordinaire, and I think I'm pretty funny. I make media reviews and stuff, and I'm always open to suggestions! (Just message me with any video ideas)
I mean is good for the comedy. So i find it fun to watch. 8/10 for pure gag and comedy (My opinion), 1/10 for writing. Like a 6-7/10 overall. It is a good anime if you want to turn your brain off.
I know everybody has their own favourite Doctor but i believe we can all agree that when it comes to new who David Tennant, Matt Smith and Peter Capaldi are the top 3
For me, I like that the doctor changes and elements of the style change with each doctor. I enjoy the reveal of the new tarsus interior and how the writers shift the humour to play to the new cast. Ranking them has always missed the point a bit to me. You wouldn’t like any of those doctors as much if they ran for a decade.
10 will always be my Doctor, at first I expected to hate him because I was really attached to Christopher Eccleston. but no, he made me fall in love in his first episode! there's so much to be said about him which I don't think I can ever say, witty, funny, emotional...no these aren't enough! He's showing the spirit of the Doctor in the most humble and respectable way. He can be both ruthless and unforgiving, but as time progresses, the more you see he's actually the kindest one and even his most tragic flaw also grows from what a gold heart he has and how much he's desperate to do good, how much love he had for his companions and went out of his way to make sure they're safe, and just most relatable reactions to things that were happening around him. stories were written well as well, with weight they need, what they need to be memorable. 9 is my second favorite because although he'll always be in my heart, but will never replace 10 12 is the redemption after what I saw in Matt Smith era! which we'll get into. He shows just as much protectiveness over his companions the same way 10 did, although he's much nastier towards them than 9 was. stories in his era are also again written in a much mature way which they were in 9-10 eras. He's actually called out on his behavior so many times and isn't hold on such a high pedestal the same way his predecessor was. the flashbacks of his past which makes it clear that the Doctor is alive inside him. however I think what brings him down is that just like 11, he spends too much time being too clingy to a certain companion, as if saying goodbye is such a hell. that's annoying. 10 had to say goodbye to those that were most dear to him, while 11-12 being afraid to even feel slightest of the pain he felt, is embarrassing. and I was annoyed on how much the show kept making jokes about Capaldi's age! I didn't like it. not only it brings bad memories, but the fact that they kept using it over and over. is a joke that isn't much funny, really can effect you after 100th time? 11 well, at least in the modern era is my least favorite. not just because of the reasons you said. but hear this! so many things happens in his era, so many messed up things. his companions I swear, are the most tortured souls in DW and yet, at the end, none of them matters, because none of them are given deserved or enough weight. The Doctor himself most of the times is obviously shown that he's the magnified version of 10's timelord victorious. he crosses lines so many times and mistreats his companions so much, takes them for granted or neglects them and is never called out on it! even in one of the episodes he turns into the exact person Davros described him to be and...nothing happens. all of the events in his era have potential to create huge dramas and great storylines and the show never uses them! hell, in one of the episodes, the Doctor is faced with one of the monsters in Timelords children's scary stories and what's his reaction? nothing! he only gets better once Ponds are gone and Clara enters the show and a much more darker, sadder version of 11 appears, but it's really too late! and on countless oceans he shows he has far more ego than 10 and is far more merciless and surprises me how no one remembers them! and what makes him irredeemable, is that how much sexualised he is! I don't mind 13 and 15, I have beef with 13 for being even worse than 11 in terms of unrealistic psyche and bad written scenarios and storylines that have no weight which they should. but about 15, I just don't know him enough. about Classics, I probably can never watch all of them, not only it's too long, but missing episodes are just...
I love Matt Smith and I think your right. It's because his run was told like a big movie. I love the big surprises, twists and turns and convoluted plot points and that's why I loved 11
6:21 what do you mean the mushroom cork has no use that’s an infinite food source also she used poisonous mushrooms that admitted poisonous spores that got trapped in your lungs
Yes, I adore Chris. he is such a great mix of a man looking for joy and a soldier rather fresh off the decision to destroy his home planet. He is camp and yet he feels so much! Great character. I also adore David, and Matt has his amazing moments. I didnt love Clara, especially with Peter and i rather fell off the series at that point. need to go back and rewatch. this was a great video, you have a new subscriber!
@KnightlyReviews the show didn't start gaining popularity till Tennet, and it real gained world wide popularity with Matt Smith. Plus, other than bootlegger onto RU-vid (where I actually first watched the show, it was the wild west 🤣) the older (new) seasons were harder to find outside of the UK until a few years later or if you had access to reruns on cable. The way we watch TV has changed so much in the last 19 years since New Who came out. And no, I can't believe it's been 19 years 🫥
Technically, One For All wasn’t as powerful it is now back when the first and second users had it. As we saw when Monoma tried to use his Quirk to copy One For All, he couldn’t unleash the same amount of power that Deku could use, because, while the Quirk _itself_ could be copied, the power that was built up _inside_ of it over the years couldn’t be, due to it being an “Accumulation-Type” Quirk, meaning its base power needs to be built up over time in order to reach its current strength.
@knightlyreviews thanks for liking my comment. Btw I can't wait till you finish Capaldi's era. It's the last good one before it all goes to hell with Jodi lol
I'm biased and love River so season 6 is my favourite season, though favourite doctor? I'm going to go out and say Ncuti. Like we haven't seen as much of him yet but he's already become a doctor to remember.
I've not seen this yet, but Ecclestone has to be my fav doctor, with his version of Rose as my favourite companion. However, my favourite episodes are all Tennant.
My favorite Doctor is Tenant but I really like the whole Matt Smith arc and how all three seasons of his era end up being connected. I just think the 10th Doctor is the perfect balance between everything that makes this character: his goofy humour, his sadness and loneliness, his Darkness, his complicated relationship with humans. All the doctors have these traits but none of them balances them as well as 10. Also no other actor has made me feel as much as David Tenant in general.
I love Tennant, but he’s my 3rd favorite. Capaldi is 1, Smith is 2, but they’re all amazing. I must say though; hoooow do you think Rose is the best companion?!?! She’s quite literally bottom 3! Edit: I just reached the end, hooooow is Eccleston the best?!?! He’s quite literally bottom 2! Before people get upset I can understand how you could like Eccleston, I just don’t
No offense but Toru's quirk is pretty useful for Stealth info gathering and espionage her Quirk is not useless in the slightest also her quirk is light reflection actually of her skin resulting invisibility
Unpopular opinion: of 9,10, and 11 (because they are the only ones that have seen in their entirety, not including Gatwa), Tennant’s doctor is my least favorite. I don’t hate him and he does have some great episodes but I had to really push myself to finish his run. Once Rose was written out, it was a bit easier because Martha and Donna had a much better dynamic with 10. Matt Smith is my favorite, for the record
3 and 10 are tied as my favorite. 4 and 12 are my 2nd tier. 5, 6, 8, 9, 11, and 13 are the middle for me, with none of them really catching my enthusiasm except for special episodes in each. 2 was alright, but nothing at all of his caught my attention. 1 was weird, but everything has to start somewhere, i guess. I absolutely despised 7, though, and he almost made me quit the series for good. 8's barely passable TV movie that tried to change too much from the canon lore, in my own opinion, gave me hope for a better, future, return.
This is really under-baked analysis of the show. First of all, you have it backwards: the show was restructured as Moffat took over from Russell T Davies, and the focus shifting from character to narrative was just one the ways it changed. Many people disliked a lot of changes, not just the focus shift, i.e. the writing became weaker in the 'filler' episodes, the show became more self-referential, etc. Secondly, 'people' didn't just collectively stopped liking it at that point - it's just one of the easier reference points that is close enough to different reasons people stopped liking it, thereby making the most upvoted comments. If you look at the show a few seasons after Moffat took over, the writing quality goes straight downhill - even if you're willing to roll with the (many) new directions the show being taken. At the point when the Dalecs have all colors of the rainbow in their color scheme and "somehow Palpatine has returned" their way from extinction every other episode, the show looks completely different from the Tennant's 'banger after banger, yet grounded' era.
I personally do not like Rose as much as other people I found her character way too lovely dovey with everyone (i.e. jealousy of mickey dating other people and the obvious romance between rose and the doctor) and it comes off as this really cringey character. She did have some good chemistry with the 10th doctor I'll admit but I feel like a lot of people were blinded by nostalgia
Smith is my favorite - and the one scene I always think of first, is his farewell to sleeping Amelia at the end. Yeah, being clever with planting seeds of the rhyme, but it is truly beautiful, especially the crushing end of it "Live well. Love Rory. Bye bye, Pond."
Makes sense, i disliked how Matt Smith's seasons all ended in increasingly convoluted and cataclysmic end of the universe situations, and how childish he acted most of the time. Rory was the best thing about his run.
I still think that Matt Smith era is worse than Tennant's, but purely technically. Even if the entertainment value is similliar if not on the same level, there are a view things that bug me as a writer. Like, there have been a lot of characters that were set up during Eccelston's and Tennant's era's, but as soon as Matt Smith era begins, we're cut off from all of them. No more Martha, or Mickey, or anyone. It's like a hard cutoff. Doctor still interacts with UNIT, but Martha is nowhere to be seen. As a writer, that just feels wrong. When Peter Capaldi's era starts, practically the same thing happens. Strax, Vastra, gone. I dropped the show after Bill's era, because the writing that season was god awful, IMO. And in this sense the writing has gone downhill since one of the lead writers left the show after Tennant's era.
@@KnightlyReviews eccleston is four. I like his character there just isn't really that time for me to love him as much as the others, they're all pretty close except Whittaker bc the writing let her down, she had a few great episodes but her characterisation is so inconsistent. Waiting for the rest of his run to rank Gatwa
I think there is a lot that goes into the sauce of who your favorite Doctor is. It could be personality, the quality of the episodes, the age you were when you saw them. For me, 8 will always be my favorite. He was my introduction into this crazy madcap world and he blew it out of the water on Day freaking One! I think the main thing though for me is that he is more or a chill doctor, which is more my energy level, so it resonates with me deeply.
