TwiLyghtSansSparkles she/her Posted December 26, 2014 Author Posted December 26, 2014 I've seen some of the early episodes with the First Doctor--and frankly, he was kind of a jerk. He was a bad-tempered old man with a raging superiority complex, topped off with a reckless disregard for human life. But the beautiful thing is... over the years, the Doctor has experienced the magic of character development. He's gone from a scrappy young teenager to a wise old man, right in front of the audience. He's learned valuable lessons, and has become a mentor to his companions. His development is far from over, but he's visibly further along the path to virtue than he was at the beginning of his journey. Or at least, he was before Twelve. Nine, like you said, was a step backwards. Heartbroken over the loss of his homeworld and wracked with guilt, he regressed to a more mean-spirited personality. It was tragic, but it was never held to be "right." He was a man who was suffering, and a substantial part of the series centered around his healing. The character arcs of Doctors 9-11 can be defined as a doctor in desperate need of a cure. Cut to Twelve. The actions and attitudes of the Twelfth Doctor are fundamentally at odds with the character development he's experienced for the past seven seasons. We saw him slowly, painstakingly learn to treat those around him with respect and kindness, suppressing his darker side to become a mad-but-kind man with a box. Then, in a single sneeze of regeneration energy... ...all that character development goes out the window, with no stated rationale. He's 2, 000 years old and is acting like he's 400 again. The Twelfth Doctor is brimming with personality flaws, to the point that in half the episodes I can't even find it in me to like the guy. Yet the writers not only fail to explain his drastic change in behavior, but also seem to be of the opinion that there's nothing wrong with the way he behaves. The Ninth Doctor was a man in pain. The Twelfth Doctor comes across like a self-centered slontze. The Ninth Doctor was a man in a slow state of healing, and was treated as such; the Twelfth Doctor, on the other hand, is presented as a new man altogether, whose personality flaws can be chalked up to "He's an alien, he doesn't have to be nice, if you don't like it than stop watching the show." (Which is an opinion I've found in disconcerting numbers amongst the pro-Capaldi fandom.) The doctor, we are told, is in no need of a cure. And as long as his hate-motivated behavior continues unchecked, I will be worried for the future of the character and the show. When I heard Capaldi was going to be a darker Doctor than Smith and Tennant, I was excited. I thought we would see him encounter darker situations, more terrifying nemeses, have his morality stretched to the limit. I thought we would see him struggle to maintain his moral code as he confronted enemies that got under his skin, enemies who brought out the worst in his personality. In short, I thought we would see the same optimistic character we've grown to love, confronted with situations that he can't always talk his way out of. So I rejoiced, because who doesn't like to see their favorite character challenged in some way? And honestly, I could relate to that arc. Having been homeschooled and tossed into public school in seventh grade (right when students are at their most sociopathic), I had to rethink the morals I'd been taught all my life. The lessons that seemed so simple, so clear, when hearing them taught by my mother at the kitchen table, suddenly became murky and hard to enact when confronted with the realities of public school. I had to reconsider everything I'd learned, figure out how to apply it to a world that wasn't as black and white as I'd thought. But in the end, I held on to most of what I'd been taught as a child. I kept my faith. I adjusted some beliefs I'd thought immovable. I saw the horrors of everyday life, and I managed to find beauty regardless. That is what I wanted from Twelve. I wanted a Doctor who had to rethink everything he'd come to believe. I wanted a Doctor confronted with problems he can't just wish away. But most of all, I wanted a Doctor who saw the darkness of the universe and held on to his optimism. I wanted to see him confront the ugliness of evil and leave with deeper knowledge of the beauty of existence. That is not what I got. Like you said, we got a Doctor who is a jerk because he can be. He's reverted back to his First Doctor tendencies, and no one calls him on it. Clara never says "What is with you? You were so nice before, and now you're not! What gives, you jerk?" Instead, we get the Doctor yelling at her, Clara crying, the Doctor rebuffing her for crying, and so on and so forth. In a way, the writers seem to glory in making him as unlikable as possible, and honestly, I get enough of that working customer service. I don't want to see that in a character I've grown to adore. My hope for Season 9 is that some of the themes Moffat took such joy in deconstructing will be reconstructed. I want the Doctor to realize that embracing his inner ugliness isn't the way to destroy it; no, it has to be confronted and exorcised. I don't want a Doctor who gives in to the darkness. When I said I wanted a darker Doctor, what I wanted was a Doctor who sees the darkness and embraces the light instead. 3
Edgedancer he/him Posted December 26, 2014 Posted December 26, 2014 I know what you guys mean with 12 and because you already wrote some very good posts about the topic, I´ll keep it short. There´s one or more like two scenes that showcase his flaws not only being the flaws of a well written somewhat cynical character but that there´s a bigger problem. He asks if he´s a good man, he acknowledges his flaws and what does he do to become a better man? Nothing, appart maybe from abandoning two women completly over their head, so they can´t decide if they want to abort a giant space baby, that´s actually not a danger to humaity at all. I hope no one expects him to get points for that one. What does that question lead up to? An idiot with a box and a screwdriver, which in context essentially means "I can be a jerk if I want to, just because." 1

How "Kill the Moon" should have ended: "But Doctor, what if it's a danger to us? What if it's going to destroy the Earth if we let it hatch?" "Hm, good point. I'll let the two of you sort it out. Peace!" Before the Doctor could dash for his TARDIS, Clara caught his arm. "Seriously?" "What?" "You're just leaving us here to sort it out with none of the information we actually need to solve the problem?" "That's what I said." He tried to tug his arm free, but Clara held fast. She rolled her eyes. "Doctor, you have a time machine. Can't you just take us back to, I don't know, the moment the egg was laid so we can see if its mother tried to eat the planet or something?" "I…." A look of deep confusion crossed the Doctor's face. Clara smirked a bit. "You didn't even think of that, did you?" He frowned, and Clara knew she was right. "All right, into the TARDIS, everyone. Let's go see if this giant space baby's going to eat the planet." One minute later "Aw, see? The space baby's mother didn't mean us any harm. She just laid the egg and flew away." Clara stared in rapture at the iridescent dragon-like creature as it spread its wings through the blackness of space. "She's beautiful." "Well, I vote we let the space baby live." "Me too." One by one, each passenger cast their vote for life. The Doctor took them back to the moment they had left, and Clara put her arm around his shoulders. "Imagine how much pointless drama there would've been if you'd just up and left." The Doctor did his best to appear irritated, but he couldn't hold back a smile. "You're right, Clara. I'll listen to you next time."

And that´s the positive interpretation that the Doctor really didn´t know what was going to happen and acted out of some misguided sense of morality. However, from how I remember the episode it´s completly possible he knew what was going to happen but left, because... Slontze. Sure is. I´m gona add somethings on it later as well but I just spend a little under an hour trying to figure out how to create a page. Turns out you don´t create one but let TvTropes generate it itself by editing a WikiWord into another page to the yet not exsistent page under ther right namespace. It´s as roundabout as it sounds.

Mailliw73 he/him Posted December 26, 2014 Posted December 26, 2014 It didn't apply to Koschei, either, at least when Remington was through with him. I personally like the idea, but it would have to be after the panda thing is taken care of. Very true, but that's not what Freq believes. Oh, of course. Also, if I recall the conversation right, we wanted Remington to be the assassin that took down Emperor!Paladin, and then have Light!Paladin and Remington work together to bring down his old empire (now ruled by Lightwards). I think that Remington won't be coming to The Dalles until after Portland falls (or is Remington going to bug out before the Corpsemaker war? I don't know the plan there...) Wow. Remington is the Dalles' very own Badchull Epic Dictator assassin. He takes care of everyone who tries to take it over. Problems with plans like that is that it also means other things can not happen. For example if you need the Dalles destroyed for Paladin´s character development that also means all the attackers have to fail and none of them get to rule there, not even for a short time. Meaning in this case for example that Mailliw won´t be able to pull of his idea with Freq ruling the Dalles. What could work for both is Paladin suffering a crushing defeat and retreating to Salem to recover from it. As a christmas present you don´t have to suffer a Nighthound POV but that only helps that much I´m afraid. It could still work with my idea. Freq could take it over, and then be assassinated, possibly by a man named after two rifles, and then Paladin could take it over. So, I'm reading Portland (already finished Dalles), but happened to see the latest stuff between Nighthound and Red, and... Another reader? YAY! Yeah, that evening will only be pleasant if Remington and Max, completely coincidentally, choose that same night to go out on the town and, also completely coincidentally, bring loaded guns with extra ammo and The Big Illegal Book of Epic Weaknesses: Updated with Quota and Timeport! "Hey, Remington?" "Yeah?" "Let's go back to town armed with our biggest guns and go out on the town for a night. I just have this feeling." "Me too. Let's go." And thus began the misery of Quota and Timeport. Other than be sad at not being able to take his mech? Nope . Why can't he take it? Couldn't he just go to the hangar and take it? Electro's done that. It's hard to say. It'll depend on how the conversation goes, I think; long enough for Lightwards to introduce Project Amber and for Altermind to put in a request for a floating museum. Yeah, that's about what we need to happen. Just a couple more posts probably. 2
Edgedancer he/him Posted December 26, 2014 Posted December 26, 2014 Wow. Remington is the Dalles' very own Badchull Epic Dictator assassin. He takes care of everyone who tries to take it over. It could still work with my idea. Freq could take it over, and then be assassinated, possibly by a man named after two rifles, and then Paladin could take it over. Another reader? YAY! Senoid´s current plan as is actually wouldn´t, because the whole emperor/assassination plot would be in Salem not in the Dalles, that city would be destroyed in the battle with only losers, to drive Paladin´s charater development along. Unless we stall Paladin´s arrivel hard Freq (and no one else for that matter) won´t manage to properly rule the city until he got rid of Paladin, he and his group is to large a force for that. Yeah, having readers is always nice. Goes to prove we are good enough to interest outsiders.
TwiLyghtSansSparkles she/her Posted December 26, 2014 Author Posted December 26, 2014 Or, alternate idea to a The Dalles being destroyed: Paladin is actually successful in helping drive the "cultists" away. His victory goes to his head and he goes to Salem in an attempt to secure it as well.
Seonid he/him Posted December 26, 2014 Posted December 26, 2014 (edited) These are all possible ideas. I apparently didn't make myself totally clear with my idea (insert blushing emoticon here). I didn't intend for Paladin's arrival to spell the destruction of The Dalles, nor do I plan for him to be Emperor of Salem in the near future. I was projecting quite long-term plans here, that range beyond the end of The Dalles' roleplay thread. I fully intend for Paladin to remain a The Dalles character until the bitter end (however long that takes). Actually, the reason I wanted to move Paladin's spell as dictator to Salem was to make room for Freq and the various other Epics who intend to rule there to have a chance. With all that was already planned, it seemed rather like shoehorning Paladin in there just because The Dalles was where he was currently headed seemed a little forced, and that it would be better to put off Emperor!Paladin to a more distant future date, after we finish our The Dalles thread. I definitely didn't intend to preclude anybody's plans, but rather to make room to accommodate them. Just so that I'm clear, my plans for Paladin's character development are as follows: Paladin arrives in The Dalles in the middle of a panda invasion. Lots of stuff happens. (Possibly including Freq taking over, if that's canon now) Lots more stuff happens (probably including Freq being removed from having taken over, possibly by a man named after two rifles) Even more stuff happens (potentially including Ironmonger's invasion) Somewhere in between, Paladin meets Remington and dies in such a way that Remington realizes that Light!Paladin comes back upon reincarnation. We find a good way to destroy The Dalles and end the RP thread (like we're about to do to Portland...that is the end goal, right?) Paladin then goes to Salem, sets himself up as emperor, is assassinated by Remington, has his empire taken over by Lightwards, reincarnates, and works with Remington to bring down his own empire. Sorry if I confused anyone. Edited December 26, 2014 by Seonid 2
TwiLyghtSansSparkles she/her Posted December 26, 2014 Author Posted December 26, 2014 I made some changes to the WHiO TvTropes page. Just enough to get started.

I was just thinking of him as a sort of deconstruction of sidekicks in general—like Robin, he has no powers, far fewer high-tech gadgets, far less combat training, and his connection to Funtimes is arguably his most important…and instead of being this awesome, fun, "I get to pal around with a super powerful Epic!" thing, it's just another source of stress for him, with his connection to her becoming one that could make or break his entire existence at the drop of a hat. Although it is a good thing for him in some ways, being her sidekick has brought him more trouble than she acknowledges. Already set to theorize, are we? 1
