Sometimes voice actors don't translate well to live action, and sometimes BF needs to slow their roll costuming them for pics and promos...

I see step 1 in RTD's master plan to make DW as big a franchise as Marvel or Star Wars is going just swimmingly

I think the funniest part about this whole thing is the expression on her face in the thumbnail for this video, just like someone who freezes up the moment a camera is pointed at them. Coincidentally, it's also the same expression that the people who fired this video up had on their faces, when they were probably expecting some exciting DW news, and were instead confronted with what looks like a scene from a particularly bad 1990s FMV game E: she also reminds me of how Andrea Martin's character (the lady married to the non-English speaking Dutch guy) reacts whenever the camera's on her in this classic SCTV sketch: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GwZBnUR6P-A Sydney Bottocks fucked around with this message at 14:14 on Mar 20, 2023 |

It’s an interesting choice of the BBC to launch another multi platform project (including the lovely mobile game!) at a time when the UK is in an economic crisis, and a lot of people won’t have the disposable cash to follow the whole story. I wonder if this will actually tie in with the TV series, or if it’s going to be another Time Lord Victorious where it was ultimately meaningless in the grand scheme of things.

It doesn't look good but I haven't seen a "character in a void announces what they're about and what the plot is" that looks good in general, it's just something that doesn't appeal to me at all

The BBC's SFX department apparently currently consists of one greenscreen left over from the Pertwee era (it's more like a green blanket, really, and it's got some patchy spots on it, but it's still perfectly serviceable) and a teenager whose dad lets him use the computer (but only if he's gotten all his household chores done first), and who has pretty obviously recently played the Xen portions of Half-Life Sydney Bottocks fucked around with this message at 15:10 on Mar 20, 2023 |

The_Doctor posted:The Doctor appearing in Loki S2 is about to leak out I guess. Unfortunately, if rumors are to be believed today, Loki just got canned. Genius move if true. Also, this seems like Big Finish trying to do some of the promo material BBC did for the series releases (that thing with Peri from a bit back etc) but while BBC could barely pull off making it look decent (IMO) there's no way BF can attempt to mimic that, not without a lot more practice. Just not their wheelhouse. Stick to the audio-only trailers with some maybe animated still shots, that's where their strengths lie IMO

Big Finish is involved in some capacity, since it's a multi-media experience and they'll probably be doing one or a handful of the 24 parts, similar to how they were a part of Time Lord Victorious. But it's being run by the BBC, and it's whoever was in charge at the BBC that decided to put that promo together. Edit: yep, someone else said it too

The budget was £4 for that video because when they asked RTD how much to spend he just reflexively answered “Four to Doom’s Day.”

Given how essential Loki is to the current big story arc of the films, they’re probably doing a bunch of rescheduling than outright cancellation.

I'll just helpfully point out that, as showrunner and caretaker of DW's future going forward, RTD had to have signed off on this. He saw that video, its production values, the SFX, the costume, the way that lady looked at the camera and delivered her lines, and even the SoundCloud rap beat at the very end, and said "yes I am fine with this being representative of my vision for the future direction of the show".

One thing I did notice was that the Doctor’s pronouns are now ‘they’. Which makes sense because plural incarnations, but also feels like a RTD edict.

On the one hand, that video is nowhere near the worst Doctor Who media ever produced. On the other, I did have to remind myself that it's nowhere near the worst Doctor Who media ever produced.

It's not the worst piece of DW media to be sure, when put in the context of DW's historically bad production values. But when put in the context of there being much recent media hype about DW having an increased budget (though to be fair, that budget is obviously more for the actual production of the show)? Oh yeah, it's definitely bad.
