I think that people tend to be comfortable with the familiar... but having that repetition is what made me lose interest. Not that ideas should never be repeated or preserved, I just think there should be a balance between the familiar and the new. I lost interest after TFA so I can't tell if that balance was ever achieved. Judging by the mixed reviews of the remainder of the sequels, I'm going to guess it wasn't.

I have enjoyed all of the Rey star wars movies.

I agree and I'm a SW fan. SW is pretty predictable, good always wins, the characters often have to be retconned in order to be "fleshed out more", it's cutesy and kid-oriented (lol duh), all of that. They're all very similar but nobody wants to hear that because stAr wARs.

[meadowphoenix]

honestly i've never heard anyone say the overall quality was worse...just the specifics. and a lot of people think it's better.

[(Anonymous)]

I think the main issue wasn't even quality or anything, it was that a lot of fans felt (rightfully) mocked by Johnson for liking the franchise the way it was. Because that's what he did. Intentionally mock a huge part of the fanbase. And shocker, people don't enjoy being mocked by one of the very movies whose franchise they supported for decades.

I hate it too, for all the same reasons.

[(Anonymous)]

It was dumb, but I had fun, so I don't care that it was dumb. If we get one-off specials of 14 and Donna every now and then, and get to follow 15 along for the main series I'm down for it. Less because of Tennant specifically, and more because I love the Doctor and Donna's dynamic.

[(Anonymous)]

Yeah, something uncomfortable to me about bait and switching the first* black Doctor's regeneration into being all about David Tennant, TWICE. Ncuti Gatwa deserved a better introduction than that. It's also completely unnecessary to make up an excuse to bring back David Tennant. Time travel is, in fact, a pretty well-established thing in Doctor Who. So like, what is the fuckin point.

That being said, I'm choosing to remain hopeful about RTD's writing because I AM hyped for Ncuti Gatwa. The Christmas special was reasonably fun and I'm looking forward to next season.

*For the sake of pedantry I do have to mention Jo Martin. She also deserves better, an audio series at the very least.

To be honest, since its Doctor Who, they could just bring David Tennant back at any time for any old BS sci-fic timey-whimey reason if they wanted to with or without that plot. Just look at all the ways they've brought back the Master out of no where.

Then again, I enjoyed the episode. Also I think Ncuti Gatwa is going to do just fine without David Tennant being a threat to his role. The bare minimum is for the scripts not to be as dogshit as Chibnall's era and Gatwa could potentially have a good start to the series.

[(Anonymous)]

I hated it because RTD pulled a similar trick during Tennant's first run when the Meta-Crisis Doctor appeared out of a regeneration and a hand.

[(Anonymous)]

I'm sorry, maybe I've misunderstood everything, but having been aware of the show for decades (and having watched maybe two full actual episodes in my entire life), I thought that a lot (a lot) of the Doctor Who mythos was an arse-pull. Is this not true? Is it not some dude spitballing in the writer's room and everyone just kind of going along with it?

I think it depends on the upbringing. I did have a lot of unrealistic body image expectations as a young girl, and TV was a part of it, along with magazines and other media. I don't blame such things entirely though; I had a shitty upbringing and was never taught self-care, self-respect, or anything resembling a healthy diet or exercise routine/activities. I couldn't understand why I couldn't look like those beautiful thin girls no matter what I did, and eventually just accepted that I was going to be fat all my life. It was only later I even learned about other contributing factors, and was able to adjust my diet and stress levels, etc. (And while I was overweight, nobody told me I was only supposed to keep the size meant for me, not for someone else.)

Whoa, I didn't even recognize him! (I'm out of the loop - I used to love FOB and saw them in concert once in 2017, and I know they have a new album out, but I haven't listened to it yet and didn't follow promo for it.)

I tried reading Digital Fortress. It felt like the entire book was minmaxed towards maintaining the appropriate level of tension at each point in time. This was self-defeating, because tension isn’t the only component in investment. You need to actually care about the characters in order to get up a good worry.

This is one adaptation I do not want. I just really dont think its going to translate to screen well at all.

But also, totally agree OP.

The thing is, Sam!Cap will have a super similar role to Steve!Cap in the MCU. They're both moral, upstanding, trustworthy dudes. They'll work closely with whatever power structure there is and punch bad guys and give speeches.

Meanwhile, Bucky!Cap would HAVE to have a secret identity and would just generally have a really different time as Cap. And that would fucking RULE because the MCU could use some goddamn secret identities and stealth. It'd be great seeing a Cap who's not working shield in glove with SHIELD. (yes Steve went AWOL for years but we never got to see it) I actually want to see this story. And I'll never get it in the MCU.

Also Bucky!Cap fucking rules.

But honestly at this point idk if I'll even get to see Sam!Cap in his own movie.
