Thanks

That's fine, I did cut the trailer to illustrate that section - when Superman is being jeered by the crowd. MoS was a deconstruction - The core is the same but Clarks dad tells him that he should maybe have let a bus load of kids die, then tells Clark not to save him - that intrinsically changes the nature of the character. Being brought up by manically paranoid parents is more likely to result in Brightburn than Superman.

​@@andyradart8498 Sorry this is again not a deconstruction, It is an opinion i give you a point there that we can argue about that the character would not have become the Superman we know if the parents would have an other viewpoint at it. But what did we then learn about the personality of the character really? Nothing. The only result was ok that's all. the personality of Clark was dependent on his earthly parents and everything else we learn nothing about the character but just see how it plays out which is far less a deconstruction but again an interpretation because if this is the case we don't learn anything about the character how he would act in a different world.

@@martinsonderegger5903 Except we know who Superman should be, and an interpretation can also be deconstruction. They took an established story and put a darker twist on it If your position is that it's more of an Elseworlds version, that's fine for comic fans but most people wanted to see Superman

@@andyradart8498 No that is the whole point of a deconstruction. You keep the core and put it in a different setting to learn something new about it. As soon you change the core which is not Superman's power but his ethos which is influenced by his parents but also must be a part of himself as listening to his parents and adapting their philosophy not because they are his parents but because the ethics of his parents is something Clark in his nature resonates with him as soon you change this you might learn something about the variation but not about the character itself which makes it not a deconstruction. Put Superman in a different time zone, change his ethnicity, make him disfigured these are deconstructions when his core personality is the same. You can all this an change his personality but then it is an interpretation from which you can learn stuff too but not about the core character.

Absolutely, a lovely piece

I think Spock was going on that eternal adventure alone, and Kirk just wanted to be there to say goodbye before Spock passed on.

lol

Thank you for your repetitive, profanity strewn comment. The irony of someone ranting and swearing at me when asking why I'm upset about something, whilst simultaneously proving my point, is always amusing. Kudos

Thanks

Stupid video. You believe in all the other movies but this one is somehow odd? Hmmm funny. Maybe it's just not meant for you to see.

Yep I can go along with that, great character and that complexity is what makes him great

Yep, lots of very strange decisions they seem to want to either destroy the stuff that is historically enjoyed by men or make them unwelcome in their own hobbies - a weird way of thinking

No worries and thanks for watching

Ozymandias is a monster but for me its more complicated than hero's and villains, I'd say the only actual hero in the book, in the classic sense, is Night Owl, but then look what decision he makes in the end

Yep, it really seems like it

Thanks and I had to cut that down, there are so many great clips. The range was the thing, I remember the scene in The Doctors Daughter when she is killed, the emotion and conflict that flashes across Tennant's face in those moments is incredible. We'll never know with Jodie if she could have been better but I agree about the lack of gravitas, similarly with Ncuti

Oddly I think that one is one of the most popular of the series, which should tell them something

It's unfortunate, because a posh black guy could have been an amazing next Doctor. But instead we got this.

A very good decision, I would've been out after eps 1+2 but decided to do videos on it, and at times it was a painful watch. Funny the Doctor hasn't asked for anyone else's pronouns since.

Straight for 2k years. Gay an hour after RTD comes back.. flamboyantly gay 3 hours later.. Sorry, people have a problem buying into that.

​@@AlexKennedy1999 "Straight for 2k years"? The show's only been going for sixty years. It's a fantasy show about an immortal shapeshifting alien who defies the laws of physics. Your problems with the latest incarnation's skin colour or romantic attractions are your own baggage.

That reply sounds remarkably familiar, did you post a similar comment thing on another video a year or so ago? It's interesting, you accept my arguments until I say something you don't like, then my arguments are invalid...lol The BBC freely admit they have quotas and I didn't mention skin colour at all, In fact I've only referenced it once in my videos following Dot and Bubble so that's all you. But thanks for taking the time to comment, it helps promote the video

@@dinogoldie9716 He was generally pretty much asexual until Nu Who where he showed more of a romantic interest, in only women. However, based on a few of those episodes I presumed he was pansexual, then the revelations about Time Lords changing sex, completely upended what we know of their society, and pansexual was confirmed as the only way any relationships could be sustained. So if a Time Lord is straight it doesn't work and if they're gay it doesn't work - to quote: "we're the most civilised civilisation in the universe, we're billions of years beyond your petty human obsession with gender and it's associated stereotypes"

​@@andyradart8498 I never accepted your argument because you don't have one. I was clearly being sarcastic about your inability to make it even five minutes before showing your true culture warrior colours. Thanks for being such a fan of my comments that you have been following my comments across youtube for at least a year. That's very dedicated of you. Well done. If my comments regarding your grift are similar to those addressing another culture warrior's AltRight grift, that's because you're all so interchangeable. Slot far-right talking point A into Children's TV/movie B then lather, rinse repeat. The critique will be similar because you're all parroting the same groupthink. Want an original response? Say something original.

So can I check, you've posting a comment complaining about me complaining? That's some meta stuff there lol Trust me if they make something good, and I really wish they would, I'll praise it as I've done with other shows

@@andyradart8498 yes darling I am complaining because this new series is getting way more hate than it deserves

@@CatDuckChu If you liked it you liked it, that's cool, whilst I think its mostly garbage for all the reasons stated and think it deserves most of the negativity it's getting

@@andyradart8498 i mean its not deserving of all the hate but pop off queen

@@CatDuckChu Another weird reply but thanks for the comment, I'll file it in the appropriate place

lol

Explains a lot with Liefeld lol But did they do any life drawing?

Yep and spot on about the dots, there's a lot of contrivances to it

lol not at all, nothing like that in it

Nope. That's Jon Malin's Graveyard Shift.

Yep, plenty of holes, like what could she be saying to make Ruby's mum run away - all it needed for that bit was for old Ruby at the moment of becoming the apparition to comment on "now I understand" alluding to where she came from. But nope nothing

Fair point and It did amuse me when Eric hired 3 women to write and draw his first female led comic. I've no problem with that per se, there are some great female writers and artists (I'm talking about the ones before current times) it just felt antithetical to his previous stance

@robcoguy6909 What do their recent interviews touch on?

Captain Marvel broke a random normal guy's hand for daring to hit on her. She then stole his bike. Yaira is in the middle of a prison brawl where all the prisoners are superpowered individuals that were imprisoned by Alphacore. In the panel right before this she is punching one guys head into the floor while throwing another one. She was trying to get to Stephanya and he got in her way. She would have punched him just as hard if he hadn't said anything. Additionally, Captain Marvel is supposed to be a hero, whereas Yaira is deliberately an anti-hero. Captain Marvel goes out of her way to save people that she has never met, so her behavior towards that guy was out of character. Yaira only cares about herself and her family, so it is perfectly in-line with her character for her to punch a guy that is bothering her when she is trying to get something done.

​​​its amazing you can predict what would have happened if the story had gone completely differently, its almost like you can't accept an honest critique and are having to make up "what would have happened anyways" to justify something plot-wise that you don't want to accept 😂.

@@testing2741 It isn't an honest critique to claim that Yaira punched a "guy's jaw off" for hitting on her when she just got done smashing another guys skull into the the ground. After she punched the "guy's jaw off", she says, "I'm not doing this for you. Or even Solari. I want the @#$%ing girl." You want to ignore those details that directly contradict your "that makes her a woke girlboss" bogus take. She flat out tells the reader why she punched the guy, but you want to pretend that she only did it because he was "asking her to smile" (that's all the guy in Captain Marvel did). Also, in what world is saying a woman should smile the equivalent of saying that you'd like to thank her by busting a nut on or in her? The first might annoy her, but the second is sexual harassment. They aren't the same no matter how much you weirdos want them to be just to "own Eric July".

Thanks, and yeah, it feels like Eric's getting a bit over excited with it all and expanding when maybe he should be consolidating - but the audience is there, ready to spend it seems. And i hope they learn too but its the 4th book and there are still the same mistakes

Why do you think that was the trade off? Like sending a sketch to McFarlane toys and having people work on prototypes of that statue means that the quality of the Yaira book would suffer for it? That doesn't make any sense. Perhaps you think they should focus on only releasing one 46 page book every 3 years so that the "quality" can be "better"? They sold 200 of those statues during the campaign and likely will continue selling them. The statue is already profitable for The Rippaverse, but for some reason you think that they should have not made it for the fans that were asking for one to be made?

@@andyradart8498 Marvel and DC have been making books for almost a century, can you show me one comic book that either of them has made without any mistakes? They are still getting set up and every comic is being worked on by a different team of people. You people also don't seem to understand that there is a time delay between when all these books were finalized and when the reviews for Isom 2 and Alphacore were coming in. Yaira was mostly finished before Isom 2 was even in reader's hands, so how could the Yaira book have learned from things pointed out in the critiques for Isom 2 and Alphacore? I am seeing continual improvement from the company and expect that to continue, but I don't expect them to ever have a mistake free book, because I don't expect that from any company.

@@truthedministry I appreciate the logical extreme argument (which actually seems a bit self defeating, is wanting better quality bad?), but it's because its a division of attention and focus. When you can do both that's cool, but it's undeniable that the same mistakes are happening with each issue, they couldn't even get the blurb on the back of Yaira #1 right - that's a basic lack of care and poor editing.

@@andyradart8498 How does my argument imply that wanting better quality is bad? My argument was that the Yaira statue had no impact on the quality of any of the Rippaverse books! The people who worked with McFarlane on the statue are not the same people that worked on the Yaira book. There is a missing space between two words on the back of the book.... so your claim is that if they hadn't made the statue then that space would have been added? There are typos in Harry Potter and the Half-blood Prince published by the Scholastic Corporation. To stand on principle then you should be against J. K. Rowling working with Warner Brothers to make the movies based on her books, Universal for the amusement parks based on her books, and all the toy, clothing, and food companies that made Harry Potter related merch just so that a single page in her book could read "ten owls" instead of "eleven owls" in the original print run of those books.... "J. K. don't focus on the things that helped you become a billionaire, because some random troll on the internet demands that your books not have any mistakes in them." Does that sound reasonable to you? Eric said they identified the typo and that it will be corrected in future prints... that's what publishers do. Meanwhile, there are typos in every EVS book so far, but no one is telling him that he is splitting his focus on too many things and rushing his comic book output... Typos happen and all the time and focus in the world won't prevent there from being typos in a comic or book. You put a standard on The Rippaverse that you don't apply equally to all companies. "Perfect is the enemy of good" - Voltaire. You demand perfection from The Rippaverse, but are more than willing to overlook more glaring flaws in other created works.

🤣

Thanks for your comment, and I've heard a lot of people say it has the same vibes as Midnight but for me its not anywhere in the same league. As you say that was a reflection on human nature under crisis but also on the effect of the Doctors arrogance without the companion as a filter. Built on a simple premise with a single mystery, it was intriguing and the tension built throughout the episode thanks in no small part to some incredible acting. This was just mystery built on mystery with any tension removed shortly after we arrive in the pub with those quite unpleasant representations of Welsh people. It felt like a bunch of derivative ideas cobbled together with no real thought behind the explanation. I also saw people talking about abandonment, I didn't get that, sure it happened but other than her mother I didn't really feel it - and the problem with that is there's no explanation at all - what would it take for a mother to shut out her child? But as I say, I didn't feel anything for Ruby, I don't think she's a good character so it failed on the character front for me too. Fyi the "parent" in space babies tried to kill the bogey man Its cool that you're enjoying it and I appreciate the thought out comment

That's true, the pub scene stayed for too long and the people there were needlessly cruel. The pub scene only needed 2 or 3 people. One to tell the connection of the top of the mountain to the blue yonder episode. Where they were both described as the edge and that the boundaries are weak there or something like that. The 2nd is to demonstrate the "Lady's effect". I don't think the episode meant to focus on why the parent would ever abandon Ruby, but what would happen if she was abandoned. And it showed how she would break down with no parents, no doctor. She stopped looking for her birth parents. Which is her most important thing we know so far. So it's not about the reason for abandoning Ruby, it's focused on if Ruby was abandoned. But yeah, not as great as Midnight but still a nice watch for me.

@@stuffyroom173 Weirdly, being adopted myself, it's odd that she didn't become more obsessed with finding her birth parents after loosing her "mum" but fair enough, I think it could have been good for me with a few tweaks

Ah nothing it's a classic. I probably should have expanded on that, I watched it as a kid and it scared me so much I had to switch it off, It wasn't helped by a neighbours cat jumping against the window outside lol

@@andyradart8498 👌😼🤣

Lol so it was left ambiguous because RTD didn't have any answers to his own story jus thought I'll take a bit of that and that and throw this bit in, that make sense given the episode

Great response

You made some valid arguments but it seems you just couldn't help yourself from being aggressive and abusive - not sure why people always think that's necessary or a way to win an argument. Maybe I'd get upset, but I'm not a Timelord who's several thousand years old and is fully capable of thinking his way out of almost every situation - it's literally what he does. So that logic doesn't really apply. I could perhaps understand it at the very end when he's failed, but not almost the entirety of the episode. I'm guessing you've never seen a dil**, they're flesh coloured and veiny, obviously it's not an exact replica but too close to be an accident as far as I'm concerned. Like chap below, you don't seem to have listened - I didn't say you couldn't criticise capitalism, war or religion (faith in this case), in fact I said I said it was OK I just I said it was incredibly unsubtle and with faith, it was aggressive. I also didn't say emotion or the Doctor expressing it was bad, I said when a character is constantly scared and crying it looses its impact and I illustrated my point with an example. Its like the boy who cried wolf.

​@@andyradart8498 you can't handle characters expressing emotions nor other people pointing out how you're wrong without crying "aggressive." Those are very much You problems and, in no way, flaws in the show. The Doctor instantly comprehending the cataclysmic ramifications of his predicament is nothing at all like "The boy who cried wolf."

@@dinogoldie9716 Na dude, I called you aggressive because of the aggressive tone and content of your reply. I'm quite fine with listening to criticism, but you have once again ignored what I said in both the video and my reply, to put your own spin on it and back up your incorrect assumption, not to mention completely misunderstanding my use of the term "the boy who cried wolf" - it takes some skills on your part so kudos for that.

Ha ha ha, insults and aggression, the sure sign of someone on the right side of history. I didn't say he hadn't berated capitalism before of that criticising it was a problem, my point was the lack of subtlety of all the messaging, I guess you didn't understand that bit? I was expecting RTD and Moffatt to come back and write some great stories like he used to not this trash. To echo you're own advice, why don't you go away and come back when you can be civil and formulate an argument

@@andyradart8498 I wasn't aggressive, and you are a freak if you think everything a queer coded character holds is a dildo. Absolutely nothing has changed with this show, you're just pretending things have changed just so you can aim you're unjustified hate and anger towards. People who use subtext are cowards. If you have something to say, don't dance around it with strawman arguments and nowhere rants, just say what you actually want

@@marcusmcculloch3410 No you're not aggressive at all, calling someone a freak etc when you disagree, is what all calm rational people do lol Nothing has changed in a show that constantly changes? Yep of course lol. You seem to have decided I meant stuff I didn't say, I'd say that probably says more about you than me Eg "you are a freak if you think everything a queer coded character holds is a dildo" never said that, that's all you dude. I'd also suggest looking up what a "strawman argument" is because that's what you are doing - perhaps also look up "ad hominem" attacks whilst you're at it.

@@andyradart8498 I'm not being aggressive when I'm calling you a freak, that's just a basic observation. You parade around saying the gays are the ones sexualising everything...but here you are thinking everything in a Family Show is a sexual act or a dildo. Thats not the gays putting that in, that's all you

@@marcusmcculloch3410 Again dude that's all in your head

Thanks and it was a curious use of the word so you may be right - Knowing RTD's recent works its probably a dig at the Government's Rwanda plan

I tend to watch other opinions after I've recorded my own and have seen a few too and its all a bit confusing. Watched the Ups and Downs one, if you know the one I mean, and it felt delusional - I do like watching that particular channel but they definitely have a noticeable bias

You're definitely not the only one

Well yep according to an interview from RTD himself, its all a bit creepy

It is painful watching all of my favourite franchises systematically decimated

Thanks and in what way would you change it?
