Let's imagine the scene if Elisabeth Sladen was still here. Sutekh reveals himself, laughing as he clutches the TARDIS. Kate Lethbridge-Stewart motions to everyone. "Get back! Everyone, get back!" But Sarah stands tranfixed. Her eyes widen as she begins to shake uncontrollably, unable to breathe. Images from the past..... Marcus Scarman, servant of Sutekh. Lawrence Scarman, his brother who couldn’t understand what happened to Marcus and was killed for it. The vision of an alternative 1980 on a blasted Earth circling a dead sun. Sutekh lowers his gaze to Sarah Jane Smith. "We meet again, my child. This time you and every other insignificant life form will kneel, grovel, and ABASE yourselves before me!" His inhuman laughter echoes in the room. Sarah, openly sobbing, clutches her head as she slowly sinks to her knees. She screams, "DOCTOR!! YOU SAID HE WAS DEAD!!!"
I found the lack of cloister bell sounds in this scene weird because the TARDIS is definitely aware of the great danger. That's why I decided to add them myself. And I pitched the sound down after Sutekh appears to give the impression that the TARDIS cannot function properly. Nice catch!
@@SukruKaydak I actually have two thoughts on the fact the tardis didn’t sound the cloister bell 1: The Tardis Was seduced by Sutekh so she didn’t see a reason why it’s needed 2: The cloister bell is damaged by sutekh in order to control the Tardis i really like your idea of a warped cloister bell
@@SukruKaydak I always figured the Tardis had always been sounding the bell, but Sutekh had been stopping anyone from hearing it. One of those 'I have no voice but I must scream' moments. Honestly I greatly prefer the editing you've done here, makes this scene much more enjoyable IMHO.
I had a similar theory. I thought the groaning itself may have been the cloister bell as well, but Sutekh had twisted it, suppressed it. So it came out as a groan instead. But I dunno.
Sutekh is like Morgoth, in the sense that he seeks the death of all life. The Master is more like Sauron, seeking domination of all life, which makes much more sense.
Excellent job, the music is timed near flawlessly with the scene! I've missed the bombastic exciting music doctor who had. Like the one for this scene fit it fine, but I could not for the life of me remember it. This is so much more impactful and tense in my opinion. And I was sad not to hear the cloister bell, the tardis and the universe is in danger, I'm sure its dangerous enough to ring it!
The thing with the music used in that scene for me is that it distracted me from what's happening because it was coded in my head as the Master's theme.
I like to think that Sutekh actually got on the TARDIS in Wild Blue Yonder. When he got on, he wasnt evolved yet so he seduced the TARDIS to let him go on a past version of it (The one after the 4th Doctor trapped him). This is why the TARDIS landed in 1666 next to Isaac Newton, it was trying to get to 1911 but it was a little bit broken at the time. I also like to think that it landed at 1666 to symbolize of Sutekhs coming because of the "666". But hey thats just a headcanon
as someone else pointed out, it works great until harbinger reveal, but the tone of this music is a bit too up beat and not dark enough for sutekh, cool video though. It's interesting seeing rescore videos because you hear more of the gods names than in the actual episode. Their names got drowned out a bit by the music with the original music.
I know the soundtrack doesn't snyc perfectly. I tried to make it work for about an hour, I guess a more thorough effort can make a difference but I also think it won't be a perfect fit unless you edit the scene as well as the ost, because they probably edited the scene with that original soundtrack as their guideline.
It works up to 2:37. The worst bit is when Harbinger is going through Sutekh's names, it is too up beat for that, and to be honest him saying it was the wrong anagram shouldn't have any music behind it. It does begin to work again though from probable trap onwards. Interesting video. When I saw the title I thought it would be an awful fit all around but it works well for some moments, dare I say even better for some like Ruby's mother.
I would admit I was expecting cloisters in the episode, it's would be better with the groaning and the cloisters together.. now that's thought make it more feel like end of the universe..
I prefer instead of Sutekh's theme, something quiet more fitting, more dramatic and more majestic, like "strange, strange, creatures" but a bit darker. Miss Bill Murray old OST!
Yeah, what a strange, strange "coincidence" ?? I don't think so. Maybe Russell T. Davies made this scene so long, cause it fits cause of the title of the score and overall too??
What would be interesting is if Sutekh had 'changed' over time. Instead of being a god of death and merely destroying the entire universe, Sutekh has another set of roles: 1) every pantheon needs a destroyer god, one that is only let out in case of emergency. This is what Sutekh likely had as its 'Mandate'. Unfortunately with the other Osirons gone there are now no limits on Sutekh. 2) Every destroyer god eventually reaches the end on the universe where everything is winding down. The destroyer god's purpose is to clean up the last bits so the entire universe is dead (or part of the pantheon), ensuring that no others remain. The final destroyer god then destroys itself, sacrificing itself to bring forth a new universe that is closer aligned with the winning pantheon. imagine a Sutekh that had participated in 'Army of Ghosts' and 'Doomsday', but preventing the Cybermen from actually killing people and instead diverting the Cybermen to recruiting from retirement homes and the terminal patients' ward in hospitals. But when the actual fight comes, Sutekh stands aside from the battle as humans must decide their own future. Instead Sutekh is just a destroyer, like a child with a little bit of cleverness and unlimited power.
with the little I know about Doctor Who, I have NEVER seen The Doctor so utterly TERRIFIED of anyone. That is one hell of a way to introduce how truly powerful and dangerous Sutekh, the God of Death, truly is
He looked more terrified in "School Reunion", when he was about to understand what the Krilitanes are about to do. If they would have succeeded, they would have become the most powerful God like creatures. No other Gods, only the Krilitanes as new gods who contro "everything". I guess even Russell forgot about that. The universal code is a bit more dangerous, if you ask me!
@@Preceyese-Seyeght exactly why I say this. This is a PERFECT godlike villain introduction. Showing you why they are to be feared by making the MC powerless or terrified when they finally show themselves
Since when did mythology suddenly get proven real in this series? The Toymaker is a powerful entity but the show disproved multiple religions (as far as the canon of the show goes) as being related to some alien entities. Now there's a full on Egyptian God here? And I thought Anubis was the God of the Dead, not Set? Set is the God of Chaos. He can't just steal the big jackal's job like that.
Harriet Arbinger being an anagram of Harbinger is honestly one of the worst plot twists I think I've ever seen. Me and my friends were dying from laughter due to it
Should have had Harriet and others saying her last name was 'Arby', as her real last name is silly. You don't find out about 'Arbinger' until much later.
Harriet arbinger🤣🤣🤣🤣 What the actual crap, there must be context i dont get but that is the stupidest and funniest reveal ive ever seen Thats like the alucard is actually dracula 😱 my lord, who could’ve guessed this Thats so bad 🤣🤣🤣 It’s legitimately like one of those fake names middle schoolers make Oh my, that brought a tear to my eye 😅
@@JoshiVlogsOfficialAbsolutely nothing. Some people just love to whine. Clearly the show is now only a diversity hire with a gay black person in the lead instead of a gay man (John barrowman) and a black person (Freema Agyeman)
