you have GOT to remember when watching the new doctor who that the question is not is this good. doctor who is only ever actually 'good' once a season at most. THE ONLY QUESTION IS is it fun, camp, and has aliens. also remember the worst doctor who showrunner is always the current doctor who showrunner. now go watch the new episodes as god intended like you're ten years old and still remember how to experience joy and whimsy.
Some people: “Tobeys Peter was bland.”
Me punching the air, trying to go web go: “HES A SHY, AWKWARD NERD WHO WAS CONSTANTLY BULLIED AND PUT DOWN, WITH A MASSIVE AMOUNT OF WEIGHT AND GUILT ON HIS SHOULDERS WHO HOLDS AND BOTTLES EVERYTHING IN. HE IS DELIBERATELY PLAYED THAT WAY AND IT WORKS. JUST BECAUSE HE ISN’T AS CHARISMATIC OR EXPRESSIVE TO YOU AS ANDREW OR TOM DOESN’T MEAN HE ISNT ANY OF THOSE THINGS. YOU MAY JUST LIKE A DIFFERENT INTERPRETATION OF PETER PARKER WHICH IS TOTALLY AWESOME! YOU KNOW WHAT ELSE IS AWESOME? TOBEY AS PETER PARKER/SPIDERMAN! IN THIS ESSAY ILL BE-”
loveee the thought of zuko as fire lord making his first diplomatic visit to the SWT and sokka taking FULL advantage of his and zuko’s friendship status to mortify his fellow council members and the general population of the south pole, as well as the fire lord himself.
like zuko will be chatting with some council members and sokka comes up and just starts roasting the fuck out of him. just saying shit like “who let you off the boat in THOSE shoes” to get a reaction out of the council members, who are making giant eyes at him like this is a professional visit where the fuck is your father to restrain you?!!!?
bato would be having an awkward conversation with zuko about resource allotments for the rebuilding effort and sokka needlessly throws in “did you know zuko sings to himself when he’s alone? he’s pretty good. give him a demo, zuko, come on,” and zuko’s grimacing because it was one fucking time sweet spirits sokka and bato is giving sokka the most embarrassed look of his life
sokka throws snowballs at zuko in the middle of the village and zuko falls over four consecutive times as a result.
for all his outward expressions of aggravation, it eventually becomes apparent to everyone that zuko isn’t too bothered by the teasing and sokka doesn’t mean anything by it, because every night they sit at the water’s edge and joke for hours.
The Doctor being able to to hear non-diegetic music explains why Eleven always fixed his bowtie so dramatically. Motherfucker could always hear 'I am the Doctor' blasting and acted accordingly.
