Who is the 'God of all Daleks'? 

In my head, I consider this post-time war Dalek Empire the "Holy Dalek Empire", considering the Emperor convinced himself he was god and introduced the premise of religion to the Daleks. If anything in history has taught us anything, there is no better way to justify hypocrisy than zealous dogma.

I've always maintained that the Prime Strategist is the original Evil of the Daleks Emperor, enslaved by the new empire after his failure but deemed too important to kill (a la Davros) who eventually overthrows his succesor to become the God Emperor.

The best Dalek leader ever in terms of a Dalek point of view. Purity means nothing to this Dalek, only survival and victory.

what ive always wondered is why the timelords are sometimes considered multiverse but then in the time war they are battling over a universe

The Emperor Dalek is my absolute favourite Dalek character in DW, followed very closely by Sec. His design and the utterly perfect voice work by Nicholas Briggs combined with his god complex makes him such a great villain. He's also has a very interesting parallel to the Metaltron Dalek from the same season. Both of them survived the Time War and are absolute proof that, wether they have an army or just a singular Dalek, they are a force to be reckoned with. But the Metaltron showed us that Daleks obsession with their "purity" is just as destructive to them as it is to anyone else. That, combined with the fact that, as it itself believed, that it was the last of its kind made us sympathise with the metaltron. The Emperor Dalek's desire to survive, to rebuild the Dalek Empire and continue their universal conquest made him betray his own kinds philosophy and resort to stealing the "waste of humanity" and use human flesh to rebuild the daleks. The isolation in deep space and hating their own flesh slowly drive his own kind insane, then he starts filling their heads with the idea of blasphomey and making them worship him as a God. Any sympathy the audience might feel, goes straight to the Impure Daleks and not him. He's an absolute hypocrite, a complete and utter monster and I love it. He's one of my favourite villains from any media ever, and while he wasn't around for long, he still left such an impact. Also congratulations on 4K subs!

From a Meta perspective, I like the idea of the Dalek Prime/first Dalek we see in their timeline in Genesis of the Daleks being the leader destroyed at the end of the Revival's first series.

Davros: Dalek-God the Father Emperor: Dalek-God the Son Their inherit programming: Dalek-God the Holy Spirit The Doctor: Dalek-Satan

He's probably not the only God Emperor out there, most Whovians forget that somewhere out there the Daleks actually won The Time War and are right now as we speak conquering the Multiverse! Many Daleks Many Universes, Many Multiverses, Many Timelines, Many Realities. Always think outside of The box, time and space is not linear.

I have always believed that the Emperors in Evil of the Daleks and the Time War is the same one like Rassilon brought back to lead their children to ultimate victory

You say 'back up to full strength', but there were 10 million ships at the end of the Time War, and only 200 ships in 200,100

I want to believe that this Emperor is actually the mad Davros who turned himself into a Dalek. This would explain his megalomania and belief that he is a god, because, as we know, real Daleks have no concept of a god.

not sure how to phrase it properly so ill just take a shot i love its bent towards religious zealoutry as it gives the dalek god emperor a strong personality to play with and makes for an easy way to frame the dalek empire(s) that follow his banner. originally since we only saw this emperor variant in "parting of the ways" it could be a little hard to figure out how it got into whats basically a christian dogmatic POV even with the knowledge that its ship was damaged and it was left isolated with whatever daleks were left on board (if any), but since Big Finish started using him in the Gallifrey series its fleshed it out a bit more to show that its always had a bent towards religious dogma, if slightly less fanatic about it. in a roundabout way the god emperor dalek also helps flesh out a point ive made about the daleks before, which is that in the case of some dalek variants, the further they stray from their base model (whether by damage, mutation, being built/modified for specific purposes, etc) the more they start to exhibit traits associated with davros. the dalek god emperor basically declares his right to rule by divine right, which isnt far off from davros declaring himself the daleks true ruler by virtue of being their creator. even his speech patterns can mimic davros just a bit

The Best God Emperor in Sci-Fi fight me 40k fans

I wish I had the ability and the money to support this video in particular I’ve been wanting this for a long time and now I’m crying tears of joy thank you @DalekBumps for making my dream come true

I've never believed that he was destroyed. We only see the Flagship destroyed. As a Time War Dalek I bet my last Shilling he's got an ETS (Emergency Temporal Shift) like the Cult and the Time Strategist.

Ah the time the daleks cosplayed as the imperium of man Btw semi related what do you think of the parallels the daleks have with the imperium (provided you know what warhammer 40K and the imperium is)

Ever wonder what would happen if the Cult of Skaro mett up with the Emperor dalek? I'd think the Cult would easily catch on that their leader's gone a little mad.

Hey Dalek Bumps, great video, as always! I am thinking of making a DYI Psyche Dalek figure, but, one thing I am unsure of is the colour scheme. I wanted to base the figure off of Psyche Dalek Three, from the comic "Emperor of the Daleks". I may sound stupid when I say this but I don't understand what colour it is meant to be; in some pages, the Psyche Dalek appears to have a yellow and black colour scheme on its casing, but, in others it appears grey and black. What is your opinion on Psyche Dalek Three's case colour scheme? I understand if this is just shadowing, on behalf of the illustrators, but, I just wanted to be sure. I'm a big fan of your channel and look forward to each video - you do an amazing job, keep it up! :)

That Emperor was a compelling villain and very crazy!

I do really like the god emperor dalek I feel he is an extremely interesting as for his origins I do think he is more likely the restoration emperor as they have similar characteristics and not the strategist as he I feel wouldn’t gain delusions of god hood. And interestingly enough the god emperor actually gained these delusions early on in the time war with some daleks saying the emperor be praised or when a dalek supreme questioned the emperors strategy even just a bit the emperor had him exterminated calling him a heretic

I got the emperor in the attic

Theodore Maxtible -> Theo -> God

Also @DalekBumps neither of one of us even thought of Repainting an EagleMoss New Series Red Dalek Supreme and adding wires to make it the Dalek Time Strategist it was pointed out to me by my mom who watches doctor who with me but really only has a casual interest and limited knowledge of such things and she pointed it out to me smh I feel stupid

You could do a whole episode on the Time War because. Seriously what is a Skaro Degradation?

It's interesting that all the Daleks know they are grown from human tissue, and seem to be sort of okay with it. These Daleks, likely due to their religious devotion, are the most ruthless and efficient the Daleks have ever been. If they had succeeded in becoming the supreme race, I wonder if the Emperor might have destroyed them for being impure.

I thought he was the dalek that killed davros in genesis of the daleks

No denying, that Doctor Who needs a new Dalek emperor.

I was getting a bit concerned due to the lack of uploads

Dang it this video makes me want you to do an in depth explanation of the events of the time war in chronological order!! Can you make that happen @DalekBumps

I wonder if the design is meant to evoke the Martian Tripods? 🤔

I mean tbf maybe not all Daleks but there is a case to be made for him being the god of some/many Daleks isn't there? Like its pretty megalomaniacal, absolutely. But he's technically correct?

What would have happened if the Dalek Emperor's Empire bumped into Davro's Dalek Empire (from Stolen Earth/Journeys End); who would consider who impure? In addition, would Davro's Dalek obey the Emperor simply because it *is* the highest hierarchy, or vice versa if they'd see Davros or would just erupt in a massive (Remembrance of the Daleks-style) full scale war due to genetic impurity?

Nice to see the War Valeyard getting a mention.

What about the hood lead of the daleks or the mysterons from captain scarlet

Great lore vid
