- Peter Capaldis the 12th Doctor, who was seen in the 50th Anniversary but introduced fully in S8, was the Doctor from 2014 to 2017 under showrunner Steven Moffat. Running from S8-S10, his era was mostly disliked by fans and casual viewers alike. For Capaldi, Jenna Colemans Clara oswald, the sonic glasses and how different his Doctor was to the 10th and 11th Doctor. They just wanted Matt Smith back.
But in 2018 after Capaldi's 12th Doctor had regenerated we were introduced to the 13th Doctor, Jodie Whittaker and brand new showrunner Chris Chibnall. & this Doctor and era? It was hated by fans and everyone largely. Fans flocked to rewatch the show and finally gave Peter Capldis era of the show a chance and they loved it. No longer were they hung up on the 11th Doctor Matt Smith, they just wanted good Doctor Who. And people found it in the 12th Doctor!
id like to point out that peter capaldi is still attractive
Very

PETER CAPALDI IS THE HOTTEST!🔥🖤🥵
He is the single most attractive doctor (except maaaaaybe Tom Baker during his run)

I’m proud I never hated Capaldi
Me neither. I was fully on board with his incarnation from day one!
At first I was Iffy but after Deep Breath I was fully convinced that Peter Capaldi was the perfect fit to play the Doctor
@@The_Blue_Otaku suunlight yelloww OVERDDRIIVVVOOOOOO
me too
I was sold on Capaldi right away. What I didn't like was Danny in The Caretaker.
The sonic sunglasses I am told came about because Mr. Capaldi wanted to make it easier for poorer children to dress as The Doctor: simple suit and specs anyone can pick up at a thrift store. He is always thinking of the working class like that. Props to him for being an inspiration to us all.
stealing this from a comment in another video but "Chadpaldi"
at 1:57 he says that the sonic sunglasses don't make sense. Well, the sonic screwdiver itself doesn't make any more sense lol
@@MrDerpySheep I think it's more to do with how much more gimmicky the sunglasses feel compared to the screwdriver which has a distinct visual identity that you recognise and associate with what it does, rather than sunglasses that can do all these nonsense things
@@db5094true but what about the 6th Doctors Sonic Lance, or 7th Doctors umbrella (which is speculated to be a sonic umbrella like Missy's) or looking at the wider spectrum the 5th Doctors celery which turns purple whenever there's any thing in the air that could harm the Doctor, like he was ment to be allergic to certain things in certain atmospheres but it was bad enough it could kill him/force him to regenerate, the Doctor would then eat the celery which would protect him, or the 4th Doctors iconic scarf, Doctor Who has a long tradition of weaving in the whimsy so I actually loved the sonic sunglasses for the reasons everyone else hates them, I just look back through the shows history and point out everything I just pointed out as counter arguments in favour of the sonic shades
@@db509412th Doctor has sonic shades? 5th Doctors litterally wore a stick of celery why do the shades get more attention than the celery when the intention behind both comes from a very similar place?
Peter Capaldi is amazing. No arguing that. I will say, however, that Peter Capaldi was not “hated” by everyone. There was a drop off in viewers by the general audience, sure, but there were plenty of plans who loved Capaldi. The premise here is way off.
100%! but tbf to myself here, I did say that some people just stopped watching
its not way off. who fans know capaldi is beloved but his run had the lowest ratings in all of new who so to the average person he looks like the least popular new who doctor. “most hated” is obviously a clickbaity way of putting it but its not so wrong (coming from someone whose favorite doctor is 12)
I saw the title of this video and thought of Colin Baker. People really changed on him afterward and after Big Finish.
I would honestly have to disagree. I remember me and my grandma both complaining that he was not young and sexy anymore when we watched the regeneration as it happened. I just re-watched it with my boyfriend this year, this time I loved Peter Capaldi! but even my boyfriend complained that he’s old and he acts older 😂
How much of the drop off had to do with Bill Potts, I wonder.
Series 8 made me accept him, series 9 made me like him and series 10 made me start dressing like him
Series 9 made me like AND dress like him
@@lucianofab SAAAME
The greatest doctor who encapsulated exactly what a culmination of 12/13 lives would look like and act like. His portrayal of the doctor is THE DOCTOR
I agree entirely !!!
"His portrayal of the doctor is THE DOCTOR"
Completely agree. Whenever I imagine the Doctor and the incarnation isn't specified, I always give them The Eyebrows.
Im sorry, i will never understand anyone who dislikes the guitar. The guitar is fucking awesome, why do people hate fun?
Put in RUclips Peter Capaldi Dreamboys
This is Peter singing & playing guitar, in his Punk Rock days of the 19.80s :)
Awesome stuff :) \m/
Peter was awesome ! He was also a life long fan of Dr Who :)
Yeah, I'd actually like an answer to this because it baffles me to
What would they think about Patrick Troughton's recorder?
Capaldi's chemistry with Michelle Gomez was magical, and she was the most brilliant incarnation of the Master, bar none.
I loved Capaldi's Doctor from the off, just found his portrayal so deep and nuanced. Great acting aside, his era didn't peak until series #9, which was a wonder.
That said, serues #8's The Caretaker is like a masterclass in comedy acting, and easily the funniest Dr Who episode ever broadcast.
Yesss, Michelle was amazing as Missy! She dominated the screen whenever she was on.
God, yeah. Michelle's use of voice and movement gripped me from the word 'Helloooo!' in Deep Breath. She was in such stark contrast to the themes of acceptance and loss. She just got even more hilarious especially when she tried to impersonate the Doctor in 'World Enough Time'.
Id say she was the best and on Par with Delgado, and in some respects surpassed that as Delgado Master was supposed to go out being redeemed and Michelles Missy did but She was certainly the best since Delgado
The thing about this doctor is that at first he is blunt, like, really blunt.
He doesn't understand the concept of kindness, but by the end, he is the encarnation of it.
Correction he doesn't understand niceness you don't have to be nice to be kind, Capaldis Doctor understood that perfectly he could do the right thing, the kind thing, but he could be harsh to those around him or abrasive or rude or even downright terrifying while doing it.
'Always try to be nice, never fail to be kind.'
The MOMENT Capaldi appeared I loved him. He is my favorite doctor. Always has been and always will be. Capaldi had character development and it shows.
Same. When we just got the Angry Eyebrows in the 50th anniversary special, I was all in with Capaldi.
I didn’t, i liked a lot the episode but I still wasn’t sure about capaldi, but as the season progressed end up Liking him more and more.
Capaldi and Tom Baker will always be my top two. Clara and Sarah Jane top two companions. Brigadier and Wilfred Mott. The doctors most faithful followers. Rose, ruby, Martha and Jack. Most loyal friends. Donna Noble best friend. Those people made Dr who worth watching.
Capaldi’s era is legitimately the only era I watch regularly anymore, the performance and some of the stories are just fantastic
At the time I remember thinking that Capaldi was like one of the finest doctors we ever got. Writing wise in series 8 and 9 it was quite hit or miss but his final series was so good, I feel like Moffat final gave him the consistent season he deserved. Now he's my favourite Doctor, him or Troughton.
You know it sucks. As soon as Capaldi was announced there were tons of "fans" left the show literally because of his age. And it was so stupid and shallow. Capaldi's Doctor is my favorite. Period. This era of Doctor Who was so gratifying to watch.
I was always a fan. Capaldi became my new favourite right from the start.
While Capaldi had an average start, the longer his hair grown, the better as the Doctor he was. He truly loved this role and put all of himself into it, even if it meant having the sonic sunglasses or the guitar, it was done with passion. Capaldi was just awesome and I really wish to see him again in DW. Also, he had a completely different intro after the super emotional 11th regen, together with him being a crazy demented man for half the episode (yes I know how it works with the Doctor, sad he no longer has that state), that made it hard for people, me included, to like him off the start. He felt too dark, too serious, but as time passed and we saw him riding a tank to a battle for fun, yet how he argued with Missy in the finale, man he was great. I honestly think he could stay for longer.
As someone who liked Capaldi from the beginning and thought his era was great as I was watching it (though season 8 was a bit hit or miss), I would just like to humbly and with humility say.... I FREAKING TOLD YOU SOOOOO!!!!!!
The 12th doctors final episode felt like a conclusion to doctor who and everything else after that is fan fiction
Wouldn’t it be great if Doctor Who did a Dallas and Peter Capaldi just woke up and said “I’ve got to lay off the scotch” - it was all a lurid, alcohol-induced dream.
Not all of it is a bad fan fic. I genuinely think that “The Giggle” is one of the better specials of Modern Who.
Peter was a fan of the show as a child and young man. You see his interpretations of William Hartnell, Tom Baker and Jon Pertwee's Doctors. His work with Jenna Coleman was magnificent; a veteran at the top of his game and a star on the rise who played three different versions of herself on the show. The trilogy "Face the Raven"/"Heaven Sent"/"Hell Bent" is as good as it gets, with "Heaven Sent" a master class in acting as he carries the entire show, except for that one moment where Coleman helps put him back on track. They remain my favorite pairing.
I confess to being a 71 year old Whovian and Sammuel's observations and opinions remind me of a particular line in a one man play performed by the actor Hal Holbrook when he protrayed Mark Twain. Mark Twain's line goes something like this. " When I was 16 years old, I thought my father was the dumbest person alive. When I turned twenty, I was amazed at how much smarter my father had become in 4 years. I throughly enjoyed Matt Smith's Doctor. But everyone has a particular Doctor they call their own. The 12th Doctor is my Doctor and always will be.
I have to say yes, I was regrettably also one of the viewers who hated Capaldi at first. He didn't resonate with me, and I think I was still butt-hurt over losing my doctor, Matt Smith. It wasn't long after he regenerated, though, that my affection grew, and as you stated on a re-watch, I started to love him more and more. He is still not my favourite doctor, but he is such an amazing actor and brings a wonderful new perspective to the character that just fits in so well. I have so much respect for him now!
Yes, me too, and I agree with you.
Series 10 is my favorite season. Capaldi was at his best and his chemistry with Michelle was amazing. I think the average fan now loves Capaldi because the avarage fan was young when he aired. Now the fans are older and mature and can understand 12 better. I love the sunglasses and guitar, and my favorite episode of all Doctor Who ever has got to be Twice Upon a Time
I'm so proud that I always loved capaldi day one. I'm really happy people are coming around to how GOOD his era was!
I honestly felt like I was in an alternate universe for a long time, people kept referring to 12’s era as a jumping the shark moment, when to me, he was the best New Who Doctor by far, and his episodes past s8 were possibly the most consistently good. I’m glad he’s had a re-evaluation overall, it’s very similar to how Troughton was widely disliked in his day for being such a departure from Hartnell, but is now regarded as possibly the definitive Doctor in many ways.
It feels so bizzare that since Tennant left each doctor specifically smith and capaldi started with huge fan hate but people either grow to love them by the end or after a rewatch
Capaldi's guitar harkens back to Trouton's recorder and I love it
"Do you think I care for you so little that betraying me would make a difference?" is the exact moment I fell in love with Capaldi's doctor... and also playing guitar on a tank 😎
I loved Capaldi as the Doctor, he was brilliant from the start. He was many of the old ones rolled into one.
when Capaldi's era was airing i loved it and honestly he is my favorite doctor.
As a fan of classic who from watching it with my grandfather on pbs in the 90s, i loved capaldi almost immediately. It took till that shot of him looking at the camera after the automaton 'fell'. That look or pure rage and uter remorse sold me. He reminded me of classic doctors, but modernized. He became my absolute favorite Doctor after the first 2 episodes of season 9. That bit where he saves kid davros was amazing.
Personally, I believe 12th Doctor became the exact construct of the Doctor himself. Every time I think of how Doctor lives, his styles of living - Peter Capaldi perfectly catches up all the pictures I imagine
Almost each episode I adore the most in the show was shot with Capaldi
I absolutely love this man, I think Peter is the best actor among the Doctors (not meant to be disrespectful)… the amount of nuances he portrays just by his eyebrows is crazy lol.
He’s amazing in Devils Hour, and it’s fantastic that in real life he considers himself as the Doctor too. He really gave his heart to this performance and it shows
His first season was a little slow going, but he became one of my favorite doctors 👍
Capaldi’s been my favorite since the attack eyebrows got revealed in Day of the Doctor. I’m so excited that more people are finally coming around to him.
I admit I was skeptical at first when he first appeared after the regeneration however the moment I saw his first trailer "I'm the doctor I'm over 2000 years old" and "am I a good man?" The moment I heard those lines, I was like," This is the doctor"
As someone who is has just got into Doctor Who and is almost completed binging ever episode from 9-15, I just got to 15 to get into the fandom to cosplay 9,10,11,12 with friends I wasn’t immediately in love with 12 but he grew on me in a few episodes like by two episode. I loved him and I cryed just as hard as I did for 11 and 10 and 9 when they regenerated. they just have to grow on you sometimes.
I loved Capaldi since he became the Doctor.
I've never hated him (worth to notice I started watching Doctor Who since 2018 from Eccelston era), furthermore, he became my favourite Doctor. I was really suprised to learn that he was hated
I remember during the time people stopped watching because he was “too old” or people left because it was “bad”. I(and I believe some others) stuck around and had a great time whilst everyone else was either yapping ‘bout nothing wrong or just thinking “I want david tennant back”
The main thing I can agree on is that he should’ve kept his more serious side from series 8 in series 9. We should’ve seen him lighten up then see him how we do in series 10
Also I don’t get why people where thinking I don’t want to watch because he’s old. Literally almost all of classic who is just old people(or people who looked old) playing the doctor. William hartnell, patrick troughton, jon pertwee, Tom baker, Colin Baker, Sylvester mccoy. This is pretty much all the classic who doctor actors and were all 40 or over so the idea of a doctor the age of peter capaldi wasn’t that high of a bar yet people still insisted that his age was bad 🤦♂️ still surprises me to this day
I wouldn’t say it was hated while he was airing I would more say that the casting was hated because of his age and a lot of people didnt bother to watch that being said bar the few eps at most 3 I would say most people who watched it actually enjoyed it and it became even better like with most of Moffat’s run after it’s conclusion. For me I just remember noticing that he suddenly became my Doctor(the doctor I immediately think of when thinking of the doctor) during his first season and since no one and I don’t think anyone will be able to top or change that. I think how he embodies ever past Doctor while being unique in of himself just make him to me in terms of looks, personality, demeanour etc the purest form of the Doctor. Plus he is definitely imo the best actor to play it he like DT and Ncuti were born to play the Doctor they just have that naturally aura (not saying other don’t but they have it more so from the off)
As someone whose.... not a fan, but can enjoy episodes of the show.
I found Peter Capaldi as one of the more interesting characters on screen.
I dunno, I would say a lot of fans still hated Colin Baker's era more, but luckily his era has had a lot of reevaluation recently, thanks to the likes of dwfan91.
Also the big finish audio stories definitely rehabilitated audience looking at Colin Baker as the Doctor. He was great, but the writing was horrible in the show. Big Finish gave him some great stories and he's amazing in it.
When I went to watch Doctor Who for the first time, I stopped watching after Smith, just because of how much Time of the Doctor emotionally damaged me. After the 60th, I decided to give Capaldi a shot and finish Doctor Who. Much like he does in the show, I am holding off watching his regeneration as long as possible. He's my new second favourite and I don't want to watch him go.
Update: I just watched twice upon a time. I have now finished Doctor Who and will watch the classic series
i was 50/50 on his eae when it aired. Went back to it a few years ago and I absolutly agree, he's now my favourite modern doctor by far.
Cycle of showrunner hate is a real thing. Newest thing will always be the most hated until something newer comes along. Peter Capaldis era was great despite a few admittedly poor episodes. Hopefully in years to come people will realise that Jodie Whittakers isn't as terrible as previously assumed either. I'm glad that I got to witness in real time the shift in the consensus
Yep exactly, I've rewatched jodie as of recent and although it definitely still isn't my favourite or for me, I had a real appreciation for some of the episodes like demons of the punjab and jodie herself.
No. Jodi’s episodes still suck in general regardless. She does a fine job playing the role though. Alas, the one person that needs to get past the cycle more than anything is Gnuti himself. I have super high hopes after falling in love with his performance in “The Giggle”, but of course, people scream woke and gay wah wah.
I always liked Capaldi, it took until the final episodes to really like him, and to season 9 to LOVE him.
Capaldi was always in my top 4, and by season 10 was and is in contention with Pertwee as my favourite Doctor, and Missy overtook Delgado as my favourite Master in series 10.
Capaldi did have some weak episodes, and I am still not keen on Danny Pink, but I get what it went for. But his highs are some of the highest in the whole run. I love this mad man with a box and a screwdriver and a fondness for earthlings, and I’m glad more people are realising how amazing we had it!
I never hated the Capaldi era, series 8 and 9 are my favorites. And 12's dynamic with Clara was the best ever. I find the fan girl reaction to when Capaldi was first introduced as the new Doctor hilarious! 😅 As if the main purpose of the Doctor was only to be young and cute (hello people, the character is over 2,000 years old!!!). 12 's relationship with Clara was the most complex and, realistic between the Doctor and a Companion, and there wasn't any need for sexual tension between them like what happened with earlier Doctors. Only Capaldi could have pulled off Heaven Sent like he did, the best episode in Who ever in my opinion. It's good to see some fans are coming back around to appreciate his era again. 👍
I was a Twelfth Doctor fan since the beginning. He was the first Doctor I watched as he was coming out on TV. I stayed as I watched many of my friends drop the show saying they didn’t like him (primarily because he was old). I always loved him, even from Series 8 he was my favorite Doctor. I dressed up as his Doctor for 3 Halloweens. His Doctor will always hold a special place in my heart. He was my Doctor.
I really enjoyed him on my first watch-through, and by the second he has become my favorite. I feel him searching for identity, his place in good and evil, as well as redemption, and his ability to persevere and change is what made his Doctor so much stronger. I think we saw a hint of this towards the end of the 10th's run, but not to this extent. There was just so much passion and emotion just bursting from Capaldi. I really hope to see him again in a special.
Just getting a little bit older I greatly appreciate capaldis portrayal more than ever
Loved Capaldi from day one. And think he's one of, if not the best of new Who. Proved that an older man can still play the Doctor.
I still think the same thing will happen to Jodies era. In a few years, people will actually watch it and hate it much much less.
Personally, I don't hate it anymore but after a rewatch of the era, I find it mostly mediocre...
@beffjuckley that's how I feel about all of Tennants Era. Waaaaaayyyy overrated until Donna shows up and then pretty good. I've always liked Moffatt more. I wouldn't call Chibnals Era disappointing per se but I respect that. It was just very different and refreshing, I loved Graham, there was a very good version of the Master and the production quality was by far the best we had ever seen in who. I also loved how much care for the original series was put into it. Especially Power of The Doctor.
I don’t care what anyone says Peter was one of the best doctors in the whole series ❤
Honestly, I didn't liked him in his first season just because I felt that he was needlessly rude. Even mean at some points.
But when his first season arc was finished, and he allowed himself to be more goofy and lovable, he instantly felt like the Doctor to me, and even became my second favorite version of the character.
I've always loved Peter's portrayal of the character, he has so much heart.
He’s always been my favourite doctor, I didn’t even know ppl disliked him, I knew he wasn’t everyone’s fave, but that breaks my heart
Capaldi is my favourite, best story lines, best actor with great gravitas
I didn’t stop watching at Peter Capaldi. But David Tennant was my first doctor. I’d only had young doctors. So I didn’t give him a fair chance. And you are pretty much bang on, I just finished my rewatch of NewWho (I’m not watching 13. Stopping at Twice Upon a Time.), and I genuinely love his run. And whilst I think I love Matt Smith’s companions more than Peter Capaldi’s overall. I’m certain that the actual writing and story was so much better in Capaldi’s run than Smith’s.
I never understood the hate. He did an amazing job as the Doctor.
The 12th Doctor is my favourite Doctor. I was always hyped about his casting and I was one of the few defending the Capaldi era and I love that people are going back and discovering that his era is actually great
The Twelfth Doctor is my favourite Doctor, Capaldi is the actor I've looked at that has immediately screamed the Doctor for me. It'd have to be a major miracle for Capaldi to be knocked down from my top spot.
I followed the show closely during Capaldi’s time and I don’t think it’s accurate to say he was ever “the most hated Doctor.” His Doctor was certainly divisive during his era, but even then, the fandom never came together to denounce him like they did 13. Viewers like me could see the gold. Others got nostalgic after seeing how bad the show can really get, and realized he wasn’t so bad after all.
Capaldi's Doctor won me over right away.
David Tennant and Peter Capaldi’s Doctors are still the only ones that INSTANTLY clicked with me. Ofc overtime I grew to like the majority of the other actor’s takes on the Doctor but those two will always be at the top for me.
At first I hoped Peter was a one off Doctor. So glad his is now probably my favorite doctor. Peter is a brilliant actor. Wish he was back.
Deep Breath is my favorite post-regeneration episode. His grumpiness was endearing. Angry eyebrows, cracked me up.
His speech about war in the Zygon Inversion was powerful.
Heaven Sent was literally a 45 minute monologue and might be the best episode in the shows history.
Michelle Gomez as The Master was the perfect foil for Capaldi.
Missy had a beautiful, bittersweet redemption arc. I watched each week, more and more sure that Missy was gonna turn on the Doctor by the end. The Doctor was expecting it himself. It’s heartbreaking that the Doctor will never know that in the end, Missy had chosen to stand by his side against the Cybermen, she was done running. Her remorse was real.
Capaldi became my favorite Doctor pretty much from his first episode. I never understood the hate the fanbase had for him. Same thing with Donna, the fanbase REALLY hated her and she’s my favorite companion. Don’t know when it changed but I’ve noticed a LOT more people like her character than when season 4 was current.
Capaldi’s Doctor was Star Trek. He was thoughtful and preferred to talk his way out of trouble instead of using force. I’d put Eccleston in this category too.
Matt Smith and David Tennent were more Star Wars. Flashy, in your face, fast-paced.
I love Capaldi immediately. I loved the stark contrast.
"Listen" became an instant top 5 episode of Doctor Who for me back in 2014. The hiatus between s9 and s10 made me slowly drop the show until i came back last year to finish all the seasons just in time for the 60th anniversary specials. Capaldi's Doctor didn't start off by being my favourite but claims that spot in my heart today. The arc he went on to become the man that he is in Twice Upon a Time affected me the most out of all the Doctor stories in Nuwho so far.
I'm happy he's now getting recognized as one of the greats but it saddens me how many made Capaldi feel like he wasn't beloved enough. (same for jodie, fans are awful)
1987: BBC hires a Scottish actor to play the doctor, gives him a moral arc and morally grey actions, leading some fans to hate him for being "out of character, leading to a rough patch.
2005: BBC hires a Scottish actor to play the doctor, makes him young and lovable, fans love him for giving the best moments in the shows history
2013: BBC hires a Scottish actor to play the doctor, gives him a moral arc and morally grey actions, leading some fans to hate him for being "out of character, leading to a rough patch.

I think people « loving » ncuti is far more nuanced. It’s quite split.
I never stopped watching the show (until mid way through series 11) but it took me until the beginning of Capaldi's second series to really start liking him, he just didn't click until then. Ever since then he's been up there with my absolute favorites, top 3 of all time.
As an American fan since 2005, I always loved Capaldi. I had a lot of friends drop off the show unfortunately but as someone who was a huge fan of the show and the character on the whole, I instantly fell in love with Capaldi. I liked him way faster than I liked Matt Smith tbh.
His regeneration speech was epic!
Never hated Capaldi, was just really sad to see Matt go
Capaldi was always my doctor straight from series 8 airing so I was always sad that he didn't get much love. It makes me happy that has changed and I hope Capaldi, Gomez and everyone else involved in making that era feels the love
Capaldi is my favorite Doctor, his performance was amazing, I loved Series 8 through 10 even when they were airing, so I’ve always been at odds with the DW internet.
Also, Capaldi is what I remember a lot of people asking for. They were asking for the show to not so Smith/Tenant again. Back in 2013 people were literally like “Give us something different. The Doctor should be a woman or an older guy who isn’t a manic pretty boy.”
Peter Calpaldi was my introduction to Doctor Who
Capaldi's era was telling a more mature and nuanced story that's hard to spot when you watch it the first time. On a rewatch, I realised that Capaldi was disliked because he wasn't perfect from the beginning and was going to grow. Tennant & Smith did have character development, but they were likeable from the start. Moffat did wrench the audience TOO hard with "Deep Breath", but it gave me echoes of Eccleston and how he grew as the Doctor. The final 3 episodes of Series 9 are my favourite finale EVER because instead of being a grand plot with big stakes, it was a grounded story illustrating real-world issues like grief, toxic friendships and the consequences of abusing your power. The doctor was so broken by the loss of Clara he broke ALL his rules to get her back. I love 12 & Clara but they were SOO toxic in the end. There's a lesson in there for all of us.
I liked 12 bc he was dark and was a bit of a dick. He kinda had a sherlock vibe about him which i liked
Peter Capaldi is the best Morden doctor ever
I loved his era way back from 2014-2017
I don’t know why people hated this doctor but I never did the 10th doctor era I don’t like apart from the later half of series 3-4
I don’t like the hole lovely Dovey stuff with him and rose and the end of time just ruins his arc for me
The 11th doctor matt smith is my 2nd favourite doctor and era for the Morden who
That’s so interesting to me. I binge watched Doctor Who for the first time years after their release, and I immediately took a liking to 12. Right from his regeneration sickness, writing out calculus in chalk all over the floors and walls lol. His super toxic relationship with Clara was also very compelling to me, hit me in a place that was altogether too real and raw.
Fascinating to me that at the time people didn’t like Clara or 12. Great video!
" I unfairly hated capaldi for bad reasons. But now I hate the new doctor for unfair reasons but don't have the ability to reflect on my own history "
I didn't hate Capaldi. I hate the writers for turning him into Midlife Crisis Doctor.
He was only like that in ONE episode
I LOVED Capaldi's era so much...
Early on, when the Doctor said, “Clara, I’m not your boyfriend,” and she responded, “I never thought you were.” He says, “I never said it was your mistake.” At THAT MOMENT, I loved Capaldi’s Doctor. And he only got better from there.
I will say this until I die: Peter's run of the show was FAR from perfect. Writing problems, a few mid episodes, some less than perfect finales. BUT Peter Capaldi was ALWAYS the best part of it. In any scene, any episode, he was always a shining example of what the show can be when it's good.
I was sold on Capaldi immediately, I thought he was genuinely, unironically cool. I didn’t realise people didn’t like him.
Started Doctor Who a few months ago bc of my gf who is a big big Whovian. Because she loves Matt Smiths Doctor we started with him. Right now we are at the last season with Peter and I freaking love him. At the first episode I thought: "I don't know if he fits", but like towards the end of his first season I really started to like him. He reminds me of the old people who never learned to show their feelings or talk about it, but by the things they do and if you listen carefully between the lines they say you recognize a good heart. That's what Peter did for me as the doctor. The outside is grumpy, but he wants to help and do the right things. While I understood Matts take on the doctor and i liked it, it's Peters doctor which brings me to the point to try to think about him more and so I build more empathy. It's not right into your face.
i was initially disliking capaldi's era but when clara's time was over, and particularly hell bent and heaven sent I went and rewatched it properly. those two episodes sold it again for me completely.
I remember when heaven sent came out, I was very confused and didn't like the episode. Now it's one of my favourites
Damn I am the exact opposite I remember that day so vividly I said it was the best ep of all time and rewatched it 4 times even though it was midnight and I missed the TV viewing
Same!!! I thought it was just very average, but I love it to pieces now
I'm one of those people who stopped watching sometime during Capaldi's run. I was in my teens (13-16) when he was on the show and I was still used to the fun and quirkiness of the previous three Doctors. Although, it's not like the show had never gone dark before. I'm currently rewatching the entire series on Max and now that I've matured I appreciate Capaldi's Doctor a lot more. I like the use of monologues directed at the audience. It makes some episodes feel very much like a stage play. This darker version of the Docto makes the show more interesting.
I was 12 when I was shown Dr Who by a friend (in 2012). I didn't vibe with RTDs writing or Rose (the episode and the character) on first watch, but I was intrigued by the show's history, I had watched a lot of shows from the 60s, and am a life long Star Wars fan, so the idea of it being 1 show, 1 continuity all the way through was very interesting to me.
I decided to watch "An Unearthly Child" - and I fell in love with all of it instantly. My Dad kept on dragging me through Modern Doctor Who with Eccelston & Tennant, meanwhile I was loving 60s Dr Who, and watching the surviving episodes, the then only 9 missing episode animations & the newly recovered Galaxy Four (3) - Air Lock & Underwater Menace: Episode Two.
I remember being so excited when Peter Capaldi was announced b/c to me The Doctor is a Grandparent to the entire universe, and who better to capture that than the oldest actor to ever be cast as a "main" Doctor. I LOVED Series 8, watching it week to week at 14, I remember talking for hours with friends from school about the new season, all while working my way through Classic Doctor Who, and falling in love with Matt Smith's Doctor as soon as My Dad & I got up to Series 5.
"The Husbands of River Song" has been, my favorite Christmas Special (and possibly my favorite episode) since it aired in 2015, and still rewatch it every year without fail on it's anniversary (an honor only "An Unearthly Child" also holds). Series 10 was hit or miss for me at the time (I was taking a lot of College entrance exams, so I've been meaning to rewatch it for years) but Capaldi, Mackie & Gomez were excellent & I LOVE "World Enough and Time / The Doctor Falls".
Today I hold Series 5 as my favorite of Modern Who, and openly admit to preferring the original series, but Series 8-9 (2014-15) still hold a very special place in my heart. Peter Capaldi will always be "My Doctor", who I first watched week to week, and try to revisit as often as possible, not as often as Matt Smith or William Hartnell, but more often than most other Doctors.
Heaven Sent is one of the greatest episodes of Dr Who ever. I also loved how they made the 12th doctor old since the 11th Doctor's story arch started with him being young and naive and as his character developed he got worn down by events to the point where he acts like a crotchety old man. So when he regenerated into the 12th doctor he outwardly looks like how he inwardly felt.
Capaldi is MY Doctor since his third episod. I fell in love with him and his era is so, so good ! I love how he grown during those 3 seasons, I love his kindness .... Laugh hard, run fast, be kind is really the pure essance of this Doctor. (and yeah ... I really like eleven too, and the Ponds are my favorite companions. Fortunately, the 12th Doctor has spend 24 years with his wife)
I found Capaldi's first season to be a very slow start. He just didn't make laugh or feel excited like David or Matt did. His second series felt like a much stronger start. I really loved how he went through a kindof mid life crisis phase the glasses were a bit hit and miss cool piece of of tech but not quite as awesome as the sonic screwdriver and waiting for Peter to get his own personalised version. I also loved his regeneration arc refusing to change and giving us one of the most heartfelt exits ever in the modern show. And then Chibnal waltzed and took a massive shit right down the Tardis's glass tube...
The problem with Capaldis Doctor wasn't Capaldi it was the shows obsession with Clara that made the Doctor second fiddle in his own show. I feel like I never really got to know him..
Also we never got those behind the scene outtakes of the Doctor just dropping those F bombs..if you know you know ..if you dont for the love of god go watch In the Loop
Clara wasn't hated, if the character got hate it was with Pete .The writing of the character got bad
He became loved because of what came after...
i've always liked Capaldi's doctor and era, and he's the one i consider to be my Doctor as he was the first doctor i followed on TV from beginning to end without reruns
Thanks for this
I liked Peter Capaldi when he was on. Didn't much like the sunglasses but Capaldi was class
I never disliked Capaldi, I thought his last season was poorly written. Capaldi did the best he could and he was amazing.
12th is Goat Actor to play The Doctor.
