[Steven Moffat]

[(Anonymous)]

His habit of doing this reminds me of Whedon's inability to shut up about his past projects. I cringed so hard when he likened Loki to Spike...

[philstar22]

He did? No. Bad example. Spike's redemption may have been badly written at times, but at least it kind of worked. I can't see Loki ever being redeemed.

[(Anonymous)]

He may have been talking personality wise, which I can see. Both are snarky, self centered assholes with a flair for the dramatic.

[(Anonymous)]

Also their Draco-in-leather pants allure, which I think Whedon might understand even if he's intellectually completely against it.

[(Anonymous)]

TA is basically Yoko Factor. it actually makes sense to compare them, and I say this as a Loki-hater and a Spike-lover.

[(Anonymous)]

Are you sure he didn't just say that because that is what the interviewers would want him to say. You know, "Lol, of course he wants to be the doctor. Get it? BECAUSE HE WRITES DOCTOR WHO!" Like how in say...Avengers cast interviews they would be all, "Which actor is the sneakiest?" -"Tom Hiddleston." "Of course cuz he is Loki, lolololol." Or how RDJ plays up his "Tony Stark"ness in interviews.

[(Anonymous)]

No, that couldn't possibly be it. That would suggest he was being cooperative in an interview, and Moffat's detractors couldn't have that.

[othellia]

But that doesn't make sense.

Tom Hiddleston/Loki being the prankster is at least MCU related in an MCU interview. Moffat being asked about Tintin and replying with a Doctor Who answer is just kind of weird.

[(Anonymous)]

That isn't how that works. Moffat is most known for Doctor Who. Thus, him bringing up Doctor Who in a funny "lol THE DOCTOR" way is something interviewers love. I expect several interviewers straight up asked him about Doctor Who.

Taking avengers cast again. During interviews for Lucy, it would not be odd for Scarjo to be asked something like, "And how would Lucy hold up against [insert Avenger]?" Or "How would Lucy do if she was in The Avengers?"

[othellia]

But in that example, it's still the interviewers bringing up the other canon. A better example would be an interviewer asking Scarjo who her second favorite character in Lucy was (assuming Lucy is number one) and Scarjo replying with "Black Widow." Or asking her who her favorite cast member was to work with and Scarjo replying with one of the other Avengers actors.

Like I mostly stay away from Steven Moffat interviews, so I admit I don't know the norms, and if it's this giant injoke that everyone's cool with, that's okay I guess.

But IDK, if I was an interviewer asking a direct, specific question about Tintin, I'd expect the answer to be related to Tintin. If I asked what would happen if Tintin met the Doctor, then yeah. I'd obviously be fine getting a Doctor Who answer back.

[(Anonymous)]

But really that's bad form on the interviewers parts. The actors or writer or whoever is there to do PR for a said project, we don't need to waste minutes rehashing (or worse yet, going into a whole tangent and waste the whole interview) their most popular works. I hate when they do this because it really makes me question if the new projects worth a damn if they couldn't find enough to talk about for an interview.

[(Anonymous)]

Yeah. Interviewers ask the same questions OVER and OVER and OVER. It is sort of a thing.

[(Anonymous)]

I honestly think he does it because he wants to prove a point about being the biggest Who fanboy there ever was, despite how badly he's mishandled the series.

[(Anonymous)]

I wouldn't say he mishandled the series when he improved it. I grew up with DW and I think the first four seasons were embarrassing. New Who didn't get good till mid-series 5. The show went from second hand embarrassment tier to ok tier. Moffat era episodes I dislike are just kind of boring. Where as all the RTD era episodes I dislike are usually pretty cringe worthy and really awful.

The show has been kind of boring recently but still better than farting aliens.

[(Anonymous)]

"I wouldn't say he mishandled the series when he improved it."

*wipes away tears* You crack me up, anon.

[(Anonymous)]

Protip: All of Nu!Who sucks.

[(Anonymous)]

Good thing you're here to tell everyone what they should and shouldn't like.

[mimi-sardinia.livejournal.com]

I do know that right now there are reruns of early Nu!Who on weekdays and I have to put music on to drown it out because I am finding it makes me cringe. Maybe once I get to season 4 I won't cringe as hard (I like Donna, she was cool).

[arcadiaego]

I think there is good and bad in both (the last season was particularly good, the one before particularly bad) but nothing in Moffat's run makes me embarrassed to watch the screen, the same of which can't be said for RTD. Ten was appalling and often horrific as a character, so Eleven was a good breath of fresh air, and Moffat cares about the overall canon more, but he couldn't sustain the quality of Eleven's episodes for the next 2 seasons, which is the source of most of the criticsm on Tumblr etc. Fandom has a very short memory.

[(Anonymous)]

Yes, he sucks.

[kallanda_lee]

Oh gawd, he did that? *eyeroll*

Text: I never hated him despite his lack of showrunning capabilities on Doctor Who and Sherlock. My feelings were more in the lines of “Eh, he’s bad but there are worse out there.”

But nothing infuriated me as much as when he went on interview for the Tintin movie (as a scriptwriter.) One interviewer asked which character out of Tintin-verse he would dress up as, and he said THE DOCTOR.

I wanted to slam his smug face into the floor. Don’t fucking shove your manic pixie Mary Sue into everything you take part in you fuckwit.

[arcadiaego]

I mean...you know that he didn't invent the Doctor, right? Or even the manic pixie version. I know we're supposed to think he's Satan but it just sounds like a daft joke. He was hired for that movie specifically because of his work on Who after all.

Literally the dumbest secret I've ever seen

[(Anonymous)]

No seriously. You spent TIME on this? Get therapy, or a life, or SOMETHING. God damn. Are you 14? If you're 14, I guess this is forgivable. If you're not, you might want to just give up because I really don't think you're smart enough to survive on this planet.
