I love it when we get a godlike character and they're allowed to have Q-like levels of wackiness while simultaneously displaying their disregard for life.
Q is so powerful he manifested himself as Discord the Lord of Chaos in My Little Pony and now he has infiltrated Earth as the Toymaker in Doctor Who. Truly Q is the master of the Multi-Verse
@@Soarin-AncientHonestly the Toymaker is more powerful. Q at one point had his powers removed by the Q Continuum and they oversee the actions of all those designated as Q. The Toymaker has no Continuum or overseeing authority while still having similar abilities.
@@xiphos8219on the other hand in the first few appearances of Q we also didn't think he had any limitations and he was just as much of a mad god. Perhaps we'll learn more about the Toymaker still, especially given that he did express fear for some entity we haven't explicitly met yet.
@@cryptozoomauler5505 In the older series, Delgado!Master also liked the Clangers. So Teletubbies was a nod to that. He's just a whimsical little boy inside sometimes.
He’s not even necessarily evil though. He has his rules and sticks to them. Rather than evil I’d argue just a far detached form of morality that we don’t understand. People and lives to him are no different than rocks and sticks. What deserves his respect are the games. That is Play.
I kind of feel that he'd be the technical definition of Chaotic Neutral. He's not necisarilly following our 'rules and morals', but he's at least bound by his own at such a meta level that he can't resist being banished from 'our' world, even though he didn't want to.
The Toymaker is not evil, he's a God, far beyond those morality concepts. To him all that matters is the Game. And he's fair, he obeys the rules of the game and even if he's totally able to bend the reality in his favour he doesn't cheat
Is it me or when a big bad is doing something. and UNIT or the military trys to detain them the doctor says stop but they never listen to the doctor and die or is that just me
@@griffinsgamevlogsandmore1792Yeah, but what else are they going to do? It’s their job, they can’t very well tell Parliament that aliens invaded and they just sat on their ass doing nothing while it marched into UNIT HQ and killed people.
@@griffinsgamevlogsandmore1792 Does seem to be the problem, doesn't it? Like UNIT is supposed to have a deep respect for the Doctor and considers him an authority on various Alien Shenanigans, but when he tells them to Not Do Something, they charge ahead, get people killed and then go, "Oh, uh, you were saying, Doctor? What should we do?"
On my list of things I thought I’d ever see on Doctor Who, I can safely say that Neil Patrick Harris doing a dance number to “Spice Up Your Life” was definitely not on it 😂
I love how well this shows how powerful the toymaker is. The whole driving the human race crazy I could see other threats doing, the toymakers domain in 1925 felt very tardis-like so still something others could do with technology but this? Just casually teleporting without any machinery, turning people into balls and bullets into showers of rose petal, even the exit of making a trapdoor appear and disappear underneath him. All outside his domain and with no assistance of any kind, he can just casually rewrite reality as he sees fit to entertain himself
The Doctor made that comparison once actually. Saying he felt a kinship to the Toymaker because he understood the feeling of a lonely god travelling around in his toy box.
ye plus out of all the eternals and old ones the toymaker is the most like the doctor in more ways then their lonely god travelling through existence it has been established nearly no one can keep up with the toymakers games like the doctor can and few who win his games have long lives like the doctor meaning every equal he finds to play against will die before he gets a chance to return into reality meaning besides the other eternals he constantly winds up or pranks the doctor is the only being in existence who could come close to being a friend.@@xiphos8219
I like to think the Toymaker wasn't simply lip-syncing, he was actually producing the song from his mouth for that moment, in the Spice Girls' voice, in a perfect replica of the studio version of the song, because he's a reality warping entity who can just do that if he wants.
According to the novelisation, the Doctor was hit by the beam within 15 hours of regeneration, meaning this is the *second* dance number he's been subjected to in a single day.
So.. according to RTD’s own rule.. if he’s within 15 hours of his regeneration then surely he must’ve been able to heal from the beam without regenerating? Maybe that’s why he bigenerated 😫😫😫😫😫
@@NileSWPhotographyno cuz within 15hrs grants limited regeneration for a single body part, like when the 10th got his hand cut off in the sword fight and he grew it back, he stated he had just enough regenerative energy to do this, and grew his hand back. The beam killed every cell in 14th's body, causing another full/bi regeneration
What makes this scene even better is that The Toymaker could've just appeared there, killed anyone he wanted and take the Ray. But, he decided to turn his arrival into a massive show/dancing sequence. Plus, we killed people while doing all this as if it was the easiest thing in the world. What a charismatic villain
His abilities gave me heavy Doom Patrol vibes just less butts. It’s interesting seeing someone so cartoonishly evil but still very much deadly in the Doctor Who space.
This god-like, impish creature who can turn reality into his own personal playground just messing with everyone because he can and no one being able to stop him is actually terrifying despite the deceivingly lighthearted presentation.
I love the fact that despite the cuts from one perspective to another it still feels like you are just panning around the room in a near continuous shot
There is a huge audio versions of Doctor Who and Torchwood adventures from Big Finish. There are also books. Toymaker was in both. This version though is new. So there would be stories about this Toymaker even if not in show format. Also Big Finish vastly expanded companions and guest characters, so it's kinda worth listening.
It's awesome to think that in the history of DW (at least since the 2005 renewal) there have been a distinct number of american actors in supporting roles, but only ONE American Actor in the last 18 years have played a major villain This speaks volume about how much confidence they had on making him portray such a wacky character in the right way Yeah, also Eric Roberts played the Master in the 90s movie, but I put that on perspective since the movie was intended for the american audience to begin with, they tried to use it as a fresh start for a new series and they needed to sell it on the American market
@@cryptozoomauler5505 Noth appeared only in two episodes (Arachnids in the UK and Revolution of the Daleks) and was not the major villain of those episodes, which were the Mother Spider and the Daleks respectively I still get your point but I didn't said that NPH was the first ever American actor to portray a villanous character on Doctor Who (which is obviously not true), but the first one to portray a foe that is the main antagonist of the episode itself (and in this particular setting also a very powerful one)
He was great in Batman the Brave Bold as the Music Meister also...Another silly super powerful being in a show that is generally thought of being semi-serious.
@@neoterumi4772 I respect your opinion, but I have to say that is exactly the kind of thing that the master would do. In fact, I am honestly shocked that they have not yet gotten an actor who played the Doctor to play the master. It would be incredibly shocking. Oh my God, David Tennant. 🤯 the twist will be he will be playing the master! ( probably this is not going to happen, but my God, it would be insane. He would play an amazing master.)
@@mathewaquino6304on a similar note, Matt Smith once said in an interview that if he were to return to Doctor Who, he would be interested in playing a new incarnation of the Master. I also really enjoy the idea of the Master taking one of the Doctor's old faces to taunt and torment them with. Probably won't happen, but, like, imagine the collective shock of the fans if it did!
I loved this villain, Neil does such a good job of portraying that mix of bananas and pure evil, I'd say he could play really well with Missy but uh, pretty sure he already did cause the Master is in a gold tooth in his mouth during this scene sooooo. Also that "I think they're still falling" scene is legit just one of those scenes that makes you shiver cause you know he just casually threw those people over the edge without remorse or anything. People really are just play things to him.
In some ways, I think Missy being bananas was more threatening because the actress nailed crazy and intelligent in a very different way than NPH. I'm not saying his performance was bad (quite the opposite, actually). I would enjoy seeing how the two absolutely insane people in the room got on with each other. That's definitely worth a watching of some sort. Given the Toymaker's powers, one could logically assume that he could in fact somehow make that happen.
God this is just so well done. It feels genuinely like a music video but that same editing lends so much weight to the violence, like when he slams Kate into the wall. Really impressive work, definitely a highlight of the episode.
@@Munchausen45 I'd say that he's actually completely Lawful Evil. He is bound to a set of rules. The rules of play and the rules of any games he is playing. They define his existance. He is physically unable to cheat.
I’d say he’s more chaotic neutral. He’s just having fun like a God and simply doesn’t see the significance in human lives. If they didn’t get in his way he probably wouldn’t even have killed them. He killed the guys with the balloons because they were getting in his path during performance, and he threw the people off the pad because he needed to clear the stage for his next scene. Our morals and ethics don’t mean anything. His morals are based on games, in his eyes, a cheater is evil and honest players are good. He’s like deadpool. He does whatever is fun and whatever happens happens.
The toymaker has to be the most powerful enemy I've seen in doctor who, he's literally a reality warping god. If he wasn't literally playing games he'd be unstoppable.
Although the episodes were over a year apart, this episode was only a couple days after the Power of the Doctor, at least from the Doctor’s point of view. He just recently dealt with the Master doing a musical (Rasputin).
Apparently one of the episodes that'll be happening during Ncuti's era is going to be a whole musical that forces him to sing so The Doctor's really gonna start hating musicals at this point lol
@@anthonydeadmanThis rumor makes me immensely happy, because Johnathan groff is in the new season and it is a crime to not have that man sing at least once when he is on screen :)
I also gotta say I love it when UNIT/Torchwood get involved cause usually they are about the only people who understand when the Doctor is here and is worried, you should be too
Man I have never been so terrified of a dance musical until I saw this scene. The Toymaker is a good chaotic evil or anatogonist. I have not seen that many scenes with Neil Patrick and boy he is very talented❤.
I can’t stop watching this. The Toymaker is so entrancing and terrifying but entertaining. I think the Giggle just became the top of my Doctor Who favourite episodes list.
I've been watching Who my entire life (I'm 50) - and this is honestly one of the greatest villain scenes in the entire history of the show. NPH *nailed* it!
All the performances in this special were great, but NPH completely stole the show with this scene, and I can't get enough. There is no one else alive on this planet who I would rather see in this role. Really hoping we get to see more of Neil's Toymaker in the future!
And the Master lost cause the Toymaker says earlier that he played a game with the master and the master lost and was turned into a gold tooth in his mouth
@@averywho6430and after the Toymaker got folded, they cut to a close up of that very same gold tooth - you can't get rid of the Master that easily! Wonder what mayhem they'll be causing this time around...
I love how his basically an all-powerful and mortal being that you can only imprison because no one can kill him and this is what he chooses to do with that power show up and literally mess with everyone for no goddamn reason. Also, it makes sense that he doesn't give a s*** about other people's lives. Most immortal beings wouldn't really give a s*** about your life, even if they were once a kind person that did because after living so long from their perspective, you're just going to die in like a fraction of a second
If you had told me the Toymaker would do a dance montage to Spice Girls & spin Mel into severe head trauma before this finale started, I'd have looked at you like you were crazy. Now I'm the madman.
You know this is in a way how the doctor got used to approaching some of their villains. think how 12 casually rolled in on Davros' throne just to screw with the daleks. It's the absolute mockery of any sense of power the enemy may have thought they possessed. That's probably part of why 14 is so off put by this display.
The toymaker was such an breath of fresh air i love the master but the master isn't just simply chaotic everything he does can be traced back to either being mad at Rassilon or the doctor the toymaker isn't like that it isn't about revenge to him it's just about having fun and I love that
In my opinion the toymaker has no limits except for what he puts on himself. If i remember correctly he basically stated that he became so bored that he had to start playing games to keep the boredom away. I think at some point he just decided that he couldn't cheat even if he wanted too because he wanted some challenge. Same as with the prize at the end. The toymaker had to give himself high stakes and it seemed as though the toymakers powers are temporarily given to the winner for them to alter probably any aspect of the universe that the toymaker himself could have altered with his powers.
Showed this to 2 of my mates who dont like doctor who and they both said that was both funny and scary and that its a perfect example of what a powerful person would be like in real life.
If I had a nickel for every time I saw a deceptively horrifying scene in a movie/tv show this year using this exact song, I’d have two nickels. Which isn’t a lot, but it’s weird that it happened twice

The image of a guys screaming head in a plastic ball is actually haunting- I love it
I've been watching Who my entire life (I'm 50) - and this is honestly one of the greatest villain scenes in the entire history of the show. NPH *nailed* it!
the "what's that?" GOT ME CRYING OF LAUGHTER I'M SORRY 0:10
All the performances in this special were great, but NPH completely stole the show with this scene, and I can't get enough. There is no one else alive on this planet who I would rather see in this role. Really hoping we get to see more of Neil's Toymaker in the future!
The Master/Voodoo Child: Finally, a worthy opponent! Our battle will be *LEGENDARY!*
And the Master lost cause the Toymaker says earlier that he played a game with the master and the master lost and was turned into a gold tooth in his mouth
@@averywho6430 That was probably the exact battle actually, they had a dance off
@@pikachucetthesecond4296The toymaker just own the dance floor.
@@averywho6430and after the Toymaker got folded, they cut to a close up of that very same gold tooth - you can't get rid of the Master that easily! Wonder what mayhem they'll be causing this time around...
Shows up does a dance number, kills 2 people, doesn’t elaborate then leaves
I love how his basically an all-powerful and mortal being that you can only imprison because no one can kill him and this is what he chooses to do with that power show up and literally mess with everyone for no goddamn reason. Also, it makes sense that he doesn't give a s*** about other people's lives. Most immortal beings wouldn't really give a s*** about your life, even if they were once a kind person that did because after living so long from their perspective, you're just going to die in like a fraction of a second
the perfect blend of wtf is happening. and creepy.
Yeah. Screw all the people who say the show is dead.
Neil Patrick Harris dancing around like a deranged oompa loompa is awesome. I want more insanity like this.
I love this scene. Something about it just makes me so happy. Great job Neil Patrick Harris!
NPH was the perfect actor to play this version of the Toymaker. I wonder how much of that scene was him just being himself
NPH was absolutely PHENOMENAL as The Toymaker! PERFECT casting. 😍
Something about that little “honk honk” when he leaves it amazing
I love characters that are literally gods acting like a teenager at a party
every time Neil P Harris plays a silly, chaotic, but villainous character, he does it *perfectly*
If you had told me the Toymaker would do a dance montage to Spice Girls & spin Mel into severe head trauma before this finale started, I'd have looked at you like you were crazy.
Now I'm the madman.
Hell I'd watch a spinoff that was nothing but NPH as the Toymaker, unfortunately I doubt the BBC could afford him full time.
You know this is in a way how the doctor got used to approaching some of their villains. think how 12 casually rolled in on Davros' throne just to screw with the daleks. It's the absolute mockery of any sense of power the enemy may have thought they possessed. That's probably part of why 14 is so off put by this display.
Neil Patrick Harris wasn't even scheduled to be on set that day, he just happened
Appears, does a song and dance routine, murders two people, refuses to elaborate, leaves.
The toymaker was such an breath of fresh air i love the master but the master isn't just simply chaotic everything he does can be traced back to either being mad at Rassilon or the doctor the toymaker isn't like that it isn't about revenge to him it's just about having fun and I love that
never watched doctor who in my life but i'm immensely entertained by neil patrick harris clearly having the time of his life
For a sec I thought he was gonna have the wheel chair girl dance.
In my opinion the toymaker has no limits except for what he puts on himself. If i remember correctly he basically stated that he became so bored that he had to start playing games to keep the boredom away. I think at some point he just decided that he couldn't cheat even if he wanted too because he wanted some challenge. Same as with the prize at the end. The toymaker had to give himself high stakes and it seemed as though the toymakers powers are temporarily given to the winner for them to alter probably any aspect of the universe that the toymaker himself could have altered with his powers.
This has been the best thing from doctor who since David Tennant left, and came back as the doctor
UNIT: "Come with us Doctor, we need you."
Doctor: "Okay. Don't shoot at--"
UNIT: "SHOOT!"
Script says: Neil Patrick Harris enters and just let him be himself.
One day, ONE DAY, when the Doctor says "Stop let me talk" Kate Lethbridge-Stewart will actually goddamn listen.
She got it from her daddy.
@jeckjeck3119 Yup, had the Brigadier been here it'd have been the same except "open fire" would have been "the chap dancing, five rounds rapid."
@@Prince__TeclisYou never know. Maybe one day, they'll find the one non-human threat that actually can be hurt by guns.
(It's never happening)
No one listens to immortal time travellers that tell them not to do something.
you'd think they'd stop shooting after the flowers started coming out
Gods this was a fun episode.
Doctor Who when it plays a soundtrack from between the 90s and 10s is when you know it's gonna be a hit.
It is a seriously good Sound of Drums callback.
No CGI was used in this scene, it's just NPH being NPH
Showed this to 2 of my mates who dont like doctor who and they both said that was both funny and scary and that its a perfect example of what a powerful person would be like in real life.
This song came on in work and I instantly went “oohh I think he’s here”
The honk at the end makes it Better
The guards are just like if we shoot enough confetti we'll get him sooner or later.
I truly believe this video has no dislikes because Neil Patrick Harris kills it in this scene
If I had a nickel for every time I saw a deceptively horrifying scene in a movie/tv show this year using this exact song, I’d have two nickels. Which isn’t a lot, but it’s weird that it happened twice
love it when doctor who villains just jam out to music
I'm kind of rooting for the Toy Maker, Villains always know how to party :) 🥳🎉😆🤣
gonna admit i was rooting for the toymaker
he didn't have to slay so hard...
Neil: I can’t dance at all
*proceeds to do the most perfect sequence of dancing that’s both intimidating and funny*
Of course they'd let NPH have a musical number lmao
I genuinely hope that I get to have as much fun doing literally anything as Neil Patrick Harris is clearly having in this scene
The best exit ever
I always love how the toy maker has th power to dominate the whole timeline but doesn't simple because all he wants is to have fun
Toymaker is such a showman… and I love it 😁
Cinema has peaked. No one else should bother
This scene alone makes up for some the other episodes
This is like Matt Smith's Doc intro. Rather than the aliens being afraid the Doctor is. Shows how powerful Toymaker really is.
Man...best Spice Girl's music video we've had for decades!
If you don't use omipotance to be this extra, then you don't deserve it
