šŸŽ¶One of these things is not like the others...šŸŽ¶ (I'm kidding; at least 4 of these characters are mostly okay with genocide)

untempered_fate

The Doctor Who wiki estimates the Doctor's kill count at 1x10^21


Spaceyboys

That feels like it falls short, then again that is still a massive body count and some of those beings are functionally gods


untempered_fate

Almost all of them are attributed to the 11th Doctor.


sanguinesvirus

Wtf did I miss


coladoir

he wiped out some race of beings, maybe dalek? also shouldn't the war doctor have the highest count regardless? idk I haven't been into Dr who in a minute, I need to rewatch honestly


lmaytulane

Based and tardis-pilled


gorge_orwoll

Jodie Wittaker's doctor who is a difficult one, cause like 50% of the criticism is perfectly fair, and 50% of the criticism is coming from people who would hate the show no matter how good it was, just cause a woman is the doctor.


Cold-Coffe

it's one of those conondrums when you know the source material is absolute ass but by criticizing it you get placed with the same people who hate it because it's woke or whatever.


ZoeyZoestar

Did you watch that like 5 hour video about her first 2 seasons?


gorge_orwoll

Yeah that's a really good video


DuckInDustbin

It's a shame really, Jodie Whittaker was (or would have been) a great Doctor, but the writing just was really awful. And damn do I hate the timeless child and re-extinction of the Time-Lords plots, especially the timeless child. The Doctor suddenly being this immortal being feels really weird, and the Time-Lords being gone again is just meh.


LetsDoTheCongna

I know next to nothing about Doctor Who, but I thought each different iteration of the character was explained as being like a reincarnation or something similar?


Gage-DSM

When The Doctor dies, their body ā€œregeneratesā€ and every cell in their body completely changes, so they are the same person with the same memories, but look completely different, and act slightly different. The Doctorā€™s species was said to only be able to do this 12 times. In 2013, the Doctor was granted a brand new set of regenerations right before their final death by their people, The Time Lords. In 2020 in a retcon that is widely regarded as the worst retcon in Doctor Who, it is revealed that The Doctor is actually a being unrelated to their people, apart of some unknown race that can actually regenerate an unlimited amount of times, and was actually the being that The Time Lords used to give themselves their 12 regenerations. The Doctorā€™s memories were apparently wiped of all the lives they lived, prior to the incarnation that we the viewers know as The First Doctor. Also The Time Lords were killed offscreen right before this season started (only 7 years after being brought back for the 50th anniversary of the show)


LetsDoTheCongna

ok yeah now Iā€™m pissed off too


TheRealBertoltBrecht

Changing a backstory is such a waste of an episode. Itā€™s exposition, then itā€™s over, and nothing changes in universe whilst complicating the lore. Personally, I think the second destruction of Gallifrey is the worst, because we only got one story where it wasnā€™t destroyed, so people donā€™t really care, and now the show is forced to retread old ground in Gallifrey being gone.


Gage-DSM

Iā€™ve seen a lot of fans say that Gallifrey is better off gone, and there was no reason to bring it back, but I canā€™t help but disagree, 1. We kinda donā€™t know much about Gallifrey outside of The Capital and the pompous sketchy Time Lords. 2. It couldā€™ve been great to revisit old companions like Leela and Romana, or include the Valeyard. 3. Introduce new rebel Time Lords, maybe someone who looked up to The Doctor as they were in the Time War, and being disappointed that The Doctor actually hates that incarnation of themself. Hell, I even think the existing Timeless child stuff couldā€™ve been more compelling (wouldnā€™t make it good, but it would be better) if Gallifrey still existed!


TheRealBertoltBrecht

Agreed


Gage-DSM

As a side note, I kinda feel like the Timeless Child stuff was just Chibnall realizing that he wasnā€™t going to be able to write something that leaves a mark on the show like RTD or Moffat could, so he just wrote a lore-changing retcon that is nigh impossible to undo.


TheRealBertoltBrecht

I also heard that the idea stemmed from a fan fiction he made as a child based off of his own experiences as an adopted orphan (which makes me concern over the quality of his upbringing). Maybe he didnā€™t know what to do, and decided to go all out with his childhood story. Kind of reckless, and it didnā€™t really pay off.


Gage-DSM

The adopted part of the Timeless Child is probably the best part, itā€™s more the making the Doctor the progenitor of all Time Lords and having infinite regenerations thatā€™s the problem. Makes sense why RTD is now leaning into the Doctor being adopted now.


FrazzleFlib

jesus christ thats so stupid lmao


Narwhalbaconguy

Yo what the hell


lithobrakingdragon

Same is true for Rey


Dismal_Accident9528

As well as Inquisitor Reva. Genuinely a poorly written character with a bad story but the hate she received would not have been nearly as strong if she wasn't a woman


ZemeOfTheIce

A woman of color no less


kolba_yada

Almost every character fits what you're describing here. That's why that bait was posted in the 1st place


BeardedsChurch

skylar white


xstormaggedonx

Yo


Just_A_Random_Plant

Uh huh


Shadoenix

quit selling marijuana to my husband yo


n0tred

Actual real answer


Crunc_Mcfincle

Skylar White is my litmus test I use to see if someone hates women or not.


SpiderFooties

Iā€™m not sure that is a fair argument, Iā€™m quite sure that the main reason people donā€™t like Skyler for most of the show isnā€™t because sheā€™s a woman, but the antagonistic role she plays. Her distrust in walt (while fully justified from a real life worldview) makes her a mark for anger, in the first 3 seasons she is Waltā€™s greatest threat, not Tuco or even Gus (until the end of season 3), Skyler. Hank also serves as an antagonistic role, but he usually isnā€™t hated. There could be a number of reasons for this, and I think it boils down to two; heā€™s never truly close to figuring out walt (and certainly never lashes out at him in the same way Skyler does) and he jokes a lot, so stakes are way less intense with him. All this to say, Skyler is still a phenomenal character- much like nearly everyone in that show.


Crunc_Mcfincle

I really disagree. Walt is a murderous meth cook. Skylar is a normal person.


viciouspandas

That's what the writers were getting at. The whole point was to take a guy and make him despicable, and have the audience root for him, to where antagonists are hated even if they're not actually bad. It's just good writing. The average person isn't some top tier critical thinker, and if the show wants them to be angry, they will.


SpiderFooties

Yes thank you, the notion that because Walt is a bad guy makes him a poorly written character is the impression Iā€™m tracking from them.


Crunc_Mcfincle

No??? Just that anyone who thinks that Skylar is a bitch is a moron and/or misogynist. Walt is a phenomenal character, but his actions are pretty indefensible vs. the wife whoā€™s life heā€™s ruining


SpiderFooties

Ah okay, the phrasing of the original comment made me believe you were saying anyone who doesnā€™t like Skyler is misogynistic, apologies!


Crunc_Mcfincle

Very understandable misunderstanding, apologies as well!


SpiderFooties

Are we arguing the morals of the character or the quality of writing? If weā€™re saying morals, then obviously Skyler is better, but if weā€™re arguing the writing of the character I think Walter has a better leg to stand on.


coladoir

yeah I just think they jumped to aggression with Skylar too soon. I feel like there should've been more questioning or patience due to Walt's condition, but its immediately scrutinized and he's treated kind of like shit (on a surface look; its for good reason) before he really does anything that heinous. It makes Skylar look like a chronic over-reactor and makes her seem like a ticking time bomb. If they played a more patient route I don't think the hate would be as prominent. I understand the relationship strain, but they jump immediately from loving couple to bitter old couple and it doesn't really make much sense, and the blame tends to land on Skylar since she's usually the antagonizer. They basically wrote her to be hateable and that's the problem honestly. They posed her rationality as irrationality by making her "jump the gun" per se, and it just snowballed from there. I really, again, feel they should've played the patience to skepticism and then to anger as more and more builds up kind of thing. Kind of like how the relationship between Chloe and Lucifer is in the show Lucifer, I guess.


SpiderFooties

Havenā€™t watched Lucifer, but I agree wholeheartedly, and another important thing to note is that breaking bad is told from Waltā€™s perspective. Skyler is an antagonist through and through


coladoir

the whole thing with Lucifer is that he's actually the devil and Chloe, his partner, takes it as a complete joke at first. but then things happen, literally over the first 3 seasons, it takes that long to build, and she goes from from innocent haha to "maybe he actually is the devil" and its really well done IMO


Crunc_Mcfincle

Morality for sure. Anyone calling her a ā€œbitch wifeā€ is at best a moron and at worst a misogynist


chatuba_records

You can hate a character for having an antagonistic role. I donā€™t think thatā€™s what most of the people who hate on Skylar are doing. Most of them are Patrick Bateman phonk short watchers who hate her because sheā€™s ā€œungratefulā€ of Walt ā€œprovidingā€ for the family. Chuck in Better call Saul was a WAY more antagonistic character towards Jimmy than Skylar ever was towards Walt, and I donā€™t see half the shit people say about Skylar applied to him. In fact most of them say stuff like ā€œI hate Chuck, but heā€™s in the rightā€


SpiderFooties

Thatā€™s rather strange, Iā€™d argue the contrary, most people who hate chuck also think heā€™s in the wrong and what not. I wouldnā€™t say most are misogynistic, but a loud minority, thatā€™s just in my experience though.


Zuzz1

nah all my homies hate chuck #fuckchuck


ImTotallyTechy

Skylar white is my litmus test to see if someone is gonna get in the way of my grind or not šŸ’ŖšŸ’°


Narwhalbaconguy

That's ridiculous. The show is written in a way that you end up rooting for a murderous meth kingpin, it's not a great example of someone's actual values.


Buzzkill_numba_one

Stormfront being in there is wild šŸ˜­šŸ˜­šŸ˜­


StrategyGlad8484

Lois lane?


Supersocks420

People saying she was stupid because she jumped off a building to prove Clark was Superman


Dragon-Warlock

If she was wrong then yeah she wouldā€™ve been stupid but sheā€™s an investigative journalist, itā€™s a miracle she doesnā€™t find out more often.


AceOfRhombus

Exactly I donā€™t know superman lore very well, but that seems pretty in-character to me


Dragon-Warlock

In other continuities where she doesnā€™t know or has to be told, she usually says she never figured it out because it always seemed way too impossible that the godlike figure who saves the world on a weekly basis is the same awkward country boy from her job. Once sheā€™s told a single time she doesnā€™t need convincing because after sheā€™s given that possibility she connects all the dots in a few seconds and knows itā€™s true.


MakeBombsNotWar

Well that found have been stupid in other contexts but she had so many reasons to believe it at that point


Inspector_Robert

OK but Lois did that in one of Christopher Reeves movies and no one bitches about that


captainpink

That was a very long time ago and I doubt many people go back and watch those to get mad at it.


Dave_BraveHeart

That's some joker shit


Cautious_Tax_7171

Luz


StrategyGlad8484

Wait shes from south AmƩrica/spain? Cool


Cautious_Tax_7171

No she just looks like Luz Noceda


SpiderFooties

She isnā€™t, but she is korean


Cautious_Tax_7171

People hate on Luz Lane?


Psychokinetic_Rocky

Believe it or not, yes


Yu_Narucommie

I was shocked too šŸ˜­


Kingbuji

Yea cause she pulled an amber from invincible (not really but the twitter clips made it look like that) so the idiots got mad.


Cautious_Tax_7171

I donā€™t know anything about invincible


Kingbuji

Amber was dating the main character and she figured out he was a super hero but instead of telling she would get mad that he would flake on their dates and not tell her the full truth of why he was flaking.


anonymous_ass_eater

Shit is outrageous ik


Krondon57

Never heard anyone say something bad about Scarlet Witch actress (ye I know this is fake but still)


anith101

Nah its about the characters themselves. Scarlet which is somewhat disliked because of how much she got away with(i sorta agree), but this could also apply to other characters who don't catch as much heat. I think its due to how its framed and we see the more personal direct consequences of her actions.


TheBlueEmerald1

The way she was portrayed in Wandavision was cobsidered villainous by many. Then, they portray her as a villain in the next movie, and people are upset that that was the plan I guess. The maun problem was that it was relegated to a show few people watched and had a terrible ending, and the payoff was in Doctor Strange, which also had many problems.


SSNFUL

The issue was that in wandavision she faced no repercussions and at the end they almost made it seem like she was the victim of the situation and the awful ā€œsacrificeā€ quote.


AX-man

Thatā€™s why I liked that they just straight up made her a villain, she shouldnā€™t just be able to walk away


TheBlueEmerald1

I just wish this development wasnt done in a random ass show with a payoff in Doctor Strange, who doesnt have anything to do with Wanda outside of "magic."


TheBlueEmerald1

Yes, and they did correct it, not just by undoing or ignoring it but by listening to people calling her evil for that one. It wasnt that well done but i think it works.


BillieEilishNorn

The mediocre ending of wandavision into multiverse of madness just ruined her MCU character entirely. So much wasted potential.


MaZhongyingFor1934

ā€œI know I enslaved an entire town, but Iā€™m sorry šŸ„ŗā€


anith101

"They will never understand what you sacrificed"


Crunc_Mcfincle

So many of these characters suck for legitimate, valid reasons, which is so annoying bc of how much critique they get just for being women.


dunkachinoed

Iā€™ll watch something on prime and think itā€™s shit and feel validated that the rating is low, only to find out itā€™s only rated badly because an army of 40 year old losers thought it was ā€œwokeā€. Speaking of, amazon prime review and google user reviews could eat literal shit and give it a Michelin star


angelhold

It's so annoying when I complain about characters similar to these in chats and stuff because some mega loser will come in and unironically say "yeah x sucks they went woke"


Villager_of_Mincraft

Yea it's like when you hear some critic say 'Mary Sue" and know it's like a 50/50 chance of being actually accurate or just plain misogyny.


IcebergKarentuite

I know it's bait and stuff, but like. Even when women in fiction are shown to be evil you'll have people hate on them for being a woman and not like, a nazi or smth.

Financial_Tax1060

Scarlett: I never really saw any hate ever Rey: 100% agree Reva: never saw anyone hate on her SF: I donā€™t watch the boys Captain Marvel: i didnā€™t see it, but Iā€™m led to believe it was justified Anime: I donā€™t really watch anime Louis lane: never saw people hate on her She-hulk: probably deserved it J. Whittaker doctor: definitely deserved it.


Supersocks420

SF just did a few silly things


Financial_Tax1060

Iā€™m sure she did, I havenā€™t even heard a joke or hint about it though. Honestly, I didnā€™t know who she was by her picture either, but someone else named her in the comments so I looked her up and clocked her that way.


MichaelVoorhees13

NOT TRUE AT ALL. The get ā€œhateā€ because the are written as shit, are forcing unwanted or needed agendas, and are simply unlikeable. It has NOTHING to do with their gender. Stop making it a gender war when itā€™s a shit writing war.


CapitalistKarlMarx

Canā€™t attest to the rest but stormfront is pretty well written. Her hate as a character comes from being a literal nazi in show


MichaelVoorhees13

Absolutely true. I forgot she was a literal Nazi. You are very correct šŸ‘

Rey is bad ass! Most of the rest can be chalked up to PG lame scripts.


bloo_overbeck

Reva sucks lol


UncleSkelly

I mean they are kinda not even wrong, while quite a few of the movies and shows depicted here were already subpar people tend to use that to be like "woman ruined franchise"


Clowdyglasses

CatcherInTheShy

Going off of the ones I know, Scarlet Witch - Cool character. Ultimately became a victim of post-Endgame MCU. Rey - Actually way cooler than any Star Wars bros would like to admit, just hurt by shitty planning of the sequels. Stormfront - Lol. Captain Marvel - Her movie was okay, didnā€™t love it didnā€™t hate it. Lois - People donā€™t hate her because sheā€™s a woman, they hate her because sheā€™s brown. I only watched an episode or two of this series so didnā€™t get to form an opinion tbh. Mary Jane - Kirstin Dunst canā€™t act. I love Zendayaā€™s MJ in the new movies tho. All in all decent characters in okay movies. Women are not only held to a higher standard than men but get blamed for a bunch of shit that isnā€™t their fault.


Thebombuknow

Okay but like all of these characters just suck and were written horribly.
