    The Meep being evil was kinda obvious, what i did not expect was for the Wrarth to be so wholesome.

      I got that the Meep was probably evil when the doctor said "Either we've escaped or we've gotten it horribly wrong" but I didn't see it coming beforehand. I was wondering for a little bit why they'd cause all that devastation (which, it ended up not being that much) for a fur coat.

      It’s interesting comparing the special to the original 4th Doctor comic, the Wrarth in the comic tried to turn the Doctor into a bomb for aiding The Meep

      I didn't have a clue until the trial- I don't think they did a very good job at all of setting it up. The Wrarth sounded like typical gruff henchmen, and they pointed their guns (which we didn't know at the time were stun guns) at an innocent child in their first appearance. Then suddenly they're speaking with polite upper class accents here.

There’s a scene in one of the opening episodes of the 12th Doctors seasons ("The Magician's Apprentice" I think it is) Davros sends Colony Sarff to find the Doctor and he somehow manages to break into the SP main base and they protect the Doctor by claiming “they don’t know where he is!”
      (They always know where the Doctor is) just like he’s considered “President of Planet Earth” by Unit, he’s held in high esteem and regard by the SP so has a very high position because of all the good he does (and probably because he saves them a lot of work and paperwork by doing the job for them without him realizing it! 🤣)

    • @pinzokiyama3387
      @pinzokiyama3387 5 месяцев назад +104

      That’s pretty cool. Using the puppet to sell that the Meep is some sort of helpless creature that can’t do anything on its own, then use the CGI to *animate* it into its true self: a very capable monster.
      Edit: Yes, I’ve read the replies below, but I still like how the hybrid use of VFX makes you consider if the Meep is some push around puppet or more that’s just waiting to attack you for being stupid.

    • @ewobbley
      @ewobbley 5 месяцев назад +59

      This isn’t true at all. A CGI version of the Meep was used when it is running, and the face was always enhanced with CGI.
      The same still applies when the Meep is evil, they had an evil version of the puppet and they fine tuned it with CGI.

    • @cmh8204
      @cmh8204 5 месяцев назад +39

      According to the behind the scenes/unleashed and episode audio commentary CGI meep is used several times up to the point of the reveal. The eyes are often CGI and there are several instances of running where the meep is full CGI prior to the reveal - one of these can be seen at 0:24. But it’s such a masterful blend of puppet and CGI it’s so hard to tell.

The Meep’s hands for example are Cecily’s ( the movement artist) actual hands, reacting to being poked in the eye, or who operating the spaceship controls, and can walk in the costume, all while the 2 puppeteers are controlling the ears ( one puppeteer) and the other controlling the mouth etc.

    They truly made the meep a unique two sided character. You truly believe and wish to believe the meep is a kind-hearted creature that is under attack but once the evidence is presented along with other testimonies in a trial fashion, just like in real life, the meep shows it’s true colors and let’s down its facade that made it likable to begin with. It’s sad and scary but it goes to show not all things and people are as they appear in this world, or any world beyond our own.

    I knew all about Meep but all my children when we watched the episode fell in love with the character and couldn’t understand why anyone would want to ha*m such an innocent thing, until this scene when Meep reveals their true self. S-cared the 💩 out my husband and all six of our children with our youngest set of twins saying “Sh00t it, quick!” I almost fell off the couch laughing watching all their reactions and feelings change in the split second Meep does! 🤣 I knew it was coming at some point because I’ve got the original comics still. They don’t want one in the house now. Thing is our house is like a personal collector’s museum there’s going to be multiple versions when/if they do decide to release Toys, bears, figures etc… of the character.
    The Bugs s-cared them more even after its revealed that they were the good guys, they don’t want any of them in the house either. They’re all gonna get a Meep for their bedrooms as well as the living area and my office.
    Also seen people whining about the upgraded Sonic Screwdriver and saying that it shouldn’t have all the extra things it can do added to it! Have they not been paying attention to previous episodes and Doctors going all the way back to Tom Baker? The Doctor has repeatedly made comments and reminders to himself and the TARDIS that it needs upgrading with extra settings because it never worked on wood when it was a life or de@h situation and the only thing that was in the way was wood in some form! It’s literally one of the last things 13th said to TARDIS before her final showdown with the Master. She told the TARDIS to add a wood setting, so it would make sense that she (the TARDIS) would add other settings as well on top of it being able to work on wood now to help the Doctor if needed and they wasn’t anywhere near the TARDIS.
    I personally like that it’s got even more settings, it saved the Doctor’s, Meep’s, Donna’s and her whole family’s lives by being able to create the panels for them to get upstairs because the TARDIS wouldn’t have shown up due to the hos-tile action that was going on at the time in the house and on the whole street! Or has people forgotten about all the Doctors saying it needs more settings especially one for wood? 🙄🤦🏾‍♀️

    While I really like this twist, I think a better one that fits the story of both sides is that there were two Meeps. One corrupted by the Psychedelic Sun, the other was immune to the Sun and/or they were born off world while the Sun went mad.
    The reason the Bad Meep wants the Good Meep dead? Either because a cure to the Psychedelic Sun's madness could be synthesized from the Good Meep's DNA or the Bad Meep sees any Meep that don't worship the Psychedelic Sun as heretics who should be put down.
    The Wrarth Warriors chase and shoot down the wrong spaceship, causing the Good Meep to misunderstand the situation and giving the Bad Meep plenty of time to gather an army on Earth.
    The reason why there are only two Meeps left? Because the Bad Meeps killed the Good ones, while the Wrarth Warriors then killed the Bad ones.
