@@karin6395 Love this

But you "destroyed" only the armor. You didn't killed the Angel.

Apparently a Weeping Angel can reform if it is shattered so long as it has the energy for it.

if bullets cant kill / shatter them, a sledgehammer has even less chance

@@Powerslave62 dont ruin the vibe graham

The image on an angel becomes itself an angel. So yes, a mirror would work

Trap all of those fricking angels inside a mirror house and then throw them under the deepest part of the sea where light will never ever reach then

@@silentwarriorts5779 but then they angels couldn’t see each other, this only causing a surge in numbers

@@silentwarriorts5779 No it would be better to just put them in a room entirely made of mirrors and a constant light source. However eventually, that light source will run out.

She didn't say no...

@@jaxtonlango6554that’s because the doctor is absolutely a mad man, just a mad man that she trusts 100%

I find it so hard to imagine this happening lmao

There was another comment that mentioned it would be more accurate to call them "Information Based Entities". I can't explain it all here, but they are effectively not really moving, just hopping a minor amount through the timeline to where they can before being observed again. (Which explains why no one heard the thundering footsteps of Ms. Liberty).

There was an image of the statute of liberty in the building. That which holds the image of an angel becomes itself an angel

@@nathanfrancis9376 Is the Statue of Liberty an angel? I thought it was inspired by other religion/culture. And, if every humanoid element is a statue, all humans are weeping angels and all humanoid statues are weepinf angels...It doesn't make sense. Also, why it has to be only 1 kind of angel? Also, this kind of angel doesn't fit the description of oldest versions of angels.

@@enibeni2071 bruh shut up and look at the spooky statues

just close one eye at a time

@@mvestudo2285 true but more you do it more you want blink with both

@@mvestudo2285 I thought the exact same thing. Sure it's a bit cumbersome to alternate blinking your eyes but I imagine one's life being on the line is more than enough motivation to see it through.

@@mvestudo2285 that’s difficult to do consistently

When death is an inch away from your face and the slightest impulse is all it needs to get you

Just emphasizes the point 10 made "their greatest strength is their greatest weakness"

Agreed

it's so funny how intelligent they made the concept but never thought of blink one eye and the other stays open. exaggerating too much of a concept

I guess they hoped people wouldn’t notice lol

Wdym “imagine of an angel is an angel”?

​@@pt5728like when you imagine in your head what an angel looks like, you get a picture of it in front of you, but how would you when you can never see an angel because then you would die

Yeah but after blink they kept on ruining them, they should've been a one time thing, but just my opinion

@@ironduke1377 I understand why you say that tbh

@@karin6395 Love this

@@kbone797 ye, I think he tried to develop on the concept but in doing so broke his continuity and kind of ruined the mystery behind them. I get what he was trying to do but he didn't execute very well.

@@ironduke1377 I think they are well-used so far in the current series.

Sad tbh

I haven't really watched Doctor Who (tried the season with the Doctor that only lasted one season - can't remember the actor's name) and this scene is giving me chills!

Lol. It wasn’t even the first to invent the concept it just popularized it.

@@tigerheart5087 And?

I rather enjoyed most of the weeping angel appearances but yeah, none really hold the same tension as the first, that was a masterpiece hard to be matched but doesn't make the other ones terrible. Hated Whittakers run because 99% of the episodes were poorly written and politically charged but the buildup was great in the episode the angels appeared and they managed to garner suspense, that is, until you know just like the rest of her run they start cramming more and more sci-fi concepts in without any real resolution... Not even gonna talk about the ending how they turned her into an angel just to free her 20 seconds later... God what a dumpster fire of a show now and its a shame the writing turned to shit as soon as we got the first female doctor, it could've been monumental but now it's just monumentally bad... Got all the feminazis praising it as the best run so far despite the tanked view count and cessation of episode productions, but nah, they might be right "people only hate it because shes a woman", ghostbusters: "the overly feminized version" all over again...

Not at 16:08 They were koving even though we see them Im sad 😢

@@NCR_vet_ranger2347what can you possibly say

​@@insertuserhere1748Some people can't wink their left/right eye without the other eye closing

You can hold one eye open and close both

When I was 10 (2016) I first met the angels in LEGO dimensions, and even in LEGO form they still scared me for weeks, and I refused to complete the Doctor Who level.

i dont know the vashta neradia from the library would scare the shit out of me more.

@@matthewchristian9591 both are terrifying four weeping angels just creep me out more, the concept that they’ll come closer to you if you don’t see them it’s terrifying

They are pretty scary in TV form. But game devs thought to add them to games. And I hate them for that cause they are terrifying to experience

I ran into them in the vr doctor who game and holy crap. That was the scariest thing I’ve ever done in a video game

*PTSD flashbacks intensify*

Why it didn't teleport her to the past?

​@@teryomonteverde681maybe the hologram shell thing?

​@@teryomonteverde681Likely too starved. Angels don't do it if they're not strong enough.

😨 Weeping Angels are no joke in the Who universe. I'd be horrified too if I heard the word 'statue' if I were lucky to survive the first time.

A stone cant kill you? What if the angel is seen midair and falls on someone?

I think he evolved it and made them a force to be reckoned with. After Blink the Angels needed another arc to make them a proper villain. And unlike Daleks and Cybermen they aren’t overused with that same old story, and now in Series 13 episode 4 there’s a lot of hype for the angel since they haven’t been used in years, just like the Sontarans.

The reason we weren't allowed to see them move is because we as a viewer felt involved because of that. If we aren't allowed to see them, that means they can see US too. It was a vital part of what made the angels so terrifying; the fact that we as viewers knew just as little as the characters

@Al watch it fully, if it was standalone it would be better but it’s still great

I agree. The creature that it be comes when you close your eyes is up to you to decide, and that is a good thing. I did like the new york episode though.

@Al glad you liked it

It disappointed me and made me less scared of them

You can just interchange your eyes opening and closing...at least in sunlight

What if you close only 1 eye, then you open it and close the other? What if you use a mirror to see what's behind? Maybe these methods work! Also I would like to know what happens when a dead body, a human statue, a robot...watches them. Would weeping angels freeze?

​@@enibeni2071 the Doctor explicitly says that something living has to be viewing them. So perhaps one of the Cyber-Men could keep them in place but that's because they're more lobotomized humans than robots.

Which episode did they move on screen in??

But if they see each other they can't move and only way we could see it is in thermal camera

How many episode does this series Have?

Dreams? More like nightmares?

2 best episodes

I dare you to get a couple of weeping angels and place them on your door step for everyone to see when they come to visit you

i like the library just as much

"Are you my mummy?" "Mummy!?"

Mate this is awesome thank you and this needs to be pinned.

that’s awesome man could you explain it in hurr durr english for me though

Isn’t the whole “information based entity” the metaphysical explanation for an angel’s existence? Where they can move through thought?

@@commentchannel1197 They only exist until they're acknowledged and send people back in time to feed themselves.... I think.

This is my new head canon for weeping angels now thanks. The whole idea of being an entity of pure infectious information gives me SCP vibes (which I guess only makes sense, since SCP borrows ideas from sci-fi media like Doctor Who). Either way it’s a wonderful take on the angels

Yeah that was my first thought. When I saw it for the first time, I was about nine, and it terrified me beyond belief because I kept myself up at night thinking about what would happen if the lights when out lmao

they can see in the dark

@@PlantLifeEvaluator i dont know about that, two of them were in line at one point in the clip where they surround the tardis

So much for quantum locked

That’s how my family started Doctor Who; with Blink. Then we went back and watched them in order.

So...what do you think of the ur....new doctor who

just close one eye at a time and you're good, not sure why he didn't think of that

@@mvestudo2285 Probably because that doesn't work and just makes you want to blink more. Seriously, how do people not know that?

@@shadowkhiz7455 sounds like you're the one who can't do it

@@mvestudo2285 what if you sneeze? What if you’re trapped for an extended amount of time and you succumb to exhaustion? What if the lights go out?

@@thecheshire5762 you hold it you don't succumb from exhaustio from blinking you bring a flashlight

The Doctor's side gig

Christopher Eccleston was my first doctor but he was on the show for such a short period of time that I sometimes forget he was the Doctor. Whenever I see Matt Smith I can't see anything other than the Doctor. With David Tennant it's a coin toss between Barty Crouch Jr. and the Doctor.

@@brett8460 why not both? Makes for an interesting experience at the least

Nah, David Tennant was amazing.

Samething when I saw him in The Crown

I like “Blink” and “Don’t Blink” :)

They’re some of my favorite Who villains! Others are the Master, Daleks, Davros, Silence, and the Cybermen.

Too bad he became completely toxic during 12’s run.

@@baxatakbaxatak2014 eh it got way better during the end of 12ths run with missy,Nardol and bill.

@@AssassinIsAfk Maybe so, but at the end, it was “If you don’t like Capaldi playing the guitar with sonic sunglasses on, then go to Hell. It’s my fucking show.”

@@baxatakbaxatak2014 I honestly liked that scene, it does seem to fit the doctors persona so well like a mid life crisis and just some overall goofy and alien thing to do. The doctor suffers from loneliness the most so it makes sense he'd pick up an instrument and learn to entertain people, have an entire crowd to interact with after he's gone insane from being alone. He would normally just get a companion but he doesn't want to hurt anyone again so instead he takes a break from his adventures and lives life as an entertainer in some random medieval village... Never heard the quote you're mentioning before but ye that is hella toxic and uncalled for if he actually said it...

Maybe as the viewer we only partially observe them as we technically dont exist to them but they are still being observed to an extent

Yall rlly pulling so much Doctor Who logic into this and I'm here for it

OP I think you're missing a bigger point of them moving to where we the viewers could see them. Allow me to explain. In the episode "blink", it establishes particular cannon regarding the angels. 1: when they are observed, what the observer sees is a statue. The angel is not present, it is literally outside of the dimension. You can break the stone up, grind it to dust, so forth, but ultimately the angel survives because it is not in this dimension. 2: they are extremely fast. In the blink of an eye, they can close a 30 foot distance. 3: they cover their eyes because if they observe each other, they are observed, and therefore revert to stone. This information is used by the doctor to trap them. This fully establishes the cannon, as the episode ends with the angels trapped because they are looking at each other without their eyes covered. In the episode with the angels on the ship, the area was lit by the electronics running through the trees. 1: the angels could see and observe each other, and we see three of them moving while within view of each other. 2: they are moving slowly, as if unsure if they are being observed. According to cannon, they do not CHOOSE to become stone, they simply become it, and therefore if they can move, they should be moving to full capacity, not hesitating. 3: in blink, even if unobserved by each other, the angels also didn't move if observed by the camera. But in the later episodes, they broke this, and this is what we ended up with. That episode basically broke all established cannon concerning the angels. That's what's frustrating about it.

@@matthewbrown5228 I so I retcon that for my head canon that bc the time rift is so close it is partly binding them, that is why angle bob was still able to talk bc they could not fully shift to the alt-dimension, so my head-canon is that as the time rift got ever closer they were getting more and more trapped in the stone bodys, because of this they could still move when being indirectly observed but still couldn't when being directly observed this meaning that they would be in a state of being partly stone and partly what ever they are normally when being indirectly observed

@@David-jt9nt I always saw it as “there’s only so many frames per second in a video and the space between every frame counts as a blink”.

@@ViirinSoftworks - Yes, autocorrect. Thanks VirginSoftworks.

@@OGSinisterPotato :| No porkblem.

they’ve not been overused though, they’ve only appeared in a handful of episodes and every appearence always feels important.

@@AlesSimoncia and none of them are good. Time of the angels is Pretty solid, but it gets let down by the twist being pretty easily guessable, and that it's a two parter. Flesh and stone breaks the fundamental rule, and shows us angels moving. Which completely contradicts what we were told in blink. Angels take Manhattan has a decent premises, but the liberty statue angel is dumb and makes no sense. Village of the angels also has a decent premise, but is let down by bad angel effects, and that it has to tie into the flux storyline. Even the ending of it is bad. Like it looks cool, but if you've seen "survivors of the flux" then you know why it's bad. The only angel episode that doesn't have a glaring major issue is blink. They were better as a one off and should have stayed that way

@@izzik2781 The Liberty statue moving has a whole story behind it, The Angels used a perception filter and the things you see, is only what the Angels allowed you to see. but thats just a fraction of what The Weeping Angels are capable of. search it up if you really wanna know because im not gonna type it out here.

@@cptdtinyreaper3697 im not really interested. It wasn't explained well enough in the episode, I shouldn't have to go to a secondary source for it to make sense

@@izzik2781 I can understand that, But some things in Doctor Who which I've noticed get explained in later episodes. 🤔

"Do you lot trust me?" "...We have faith, sir." That line is one I will remember forever. And the military man proves it by following the Doctor's request for a gun by handing his over without question.
