Doctor Who, an iconic television series, always features change and something different!
id="the-controversy">The ControversyThere's no greater symbol of change than Doctor Who's most beloved hero- the Doctor! Fans of the show know how this incredibly special figure has the amazing ability to regenerate. That means every now and then, a new Doctor steps in. However, when Ncuti Gatwa became the Doctor back in 2023, he didn't just change in looks, but took the series to a whole new level! It also had some critics speaking their mind.
Doctor Who is about embracing the big, unusual changes that can happen to the Doctor, a really big moment. Even after decades of the show, the viewers have very definite opinions on their favorite Doctor. Fans feel deeply for the character and when it’s not the right kind of energy they are sure to call it out. But this new version? This Doctor, in their 15th iteration, is truly special, an amazing version that brings out some incredible traits.
Why the Emotional Doctor Is Worth Watching:
In a big break, for those watching the series this one takes an interesting and remarkable turn! The Doctor really has big emotions! There’s so much emotion with the Doctor. Now viewers see the Doctor open up and experience amazing depth.
- Fans know the Doctor had the power to change! That's one thing that is truly unique! There is no other character quite like this, a long list of Doctors who were incredibly reserved but with this iteration of the Doctor, you will not only see this character have emotions but really experience them!
This Doctor had a chance to have a completely different change from those before as they faced a new type of regeneration! So, instead of being a unique individual with all of these skills that fans have always expected. We're now presented with a Doctor who really makes their emotions known.
Now we've had time to process, as they took a wild ride from one Doctor, the Thirteenth to this one. They have to adjust. With such a strong, determined Doctor like the Thirteenth and their incredible resilience. Fans couldn't expect the Fifteenth Doctor to suddenly have this ability!
The Need For A Balance:
This change has also led to some trouble. It’s interesting how even when you're in an unusual spot! You still need to keep that sharp mind! The new Doctor, now on-screen! The Fifteenth Doctor. is so eager and in awe of the world that they get to see, this Doctor isn't always the most focused and might even get themselves in more danger because of it!
For example, one of the big scenes in the season, they even walk onto a landmine, in an area that is going through war! And a bit later. they got pulled into a special circle which seems like a "fairy circle.", in a world with powerful and unexpected energy. And as it turns out the new Doctor vanished without a word!
As a viewer you may have thought what a wild move, and we all want to see that incredible spirit and passion in the Doctor. But, in this case, a lack of attention really created these challenges.
A Look Towards The Future
But all is not lost! This really could mean a great evolution in the Doctor's character.
With all of the awesome change that has taken place with the Doctor! They are capable of reaching incredible heights of emotional depths! To balance those emotions! To truly become a really amazing Doctor and a really great guide to the universe. Hopefully. Fans get to see how the Doctor gets back to focusing, Season 15 may be the turning point!
It's interesting to watch this happen with each season and see how it plays out! But the anticipation for this iconic television series is always there! That makes the big question one that fans all want to know- how will the Doctor change and make the big evolution in the next season! Fans around the globe will be excited!
