Disney really fucked this franchise

It was fucked long before Disney arrived. The BBC should put it on hiatus for seven years and reboot it with people who actually care about the property and its history.

It would be so nice if someone with at least 2 brain cells could take over this IP. It’s such a shit show.

Nooooo, no, no! Easter? Fuck off, I won't wait till Easter, it's too late.

Honestly sooner than I thought. I never thought they'd hit the December 2026 goal. I figured they'd kick the can a whole year and we'd be looking at a December 2027 special. I still expect we're not going to jump back into things and the next arc will be a mini one (maybe a three special arc).

When do you think they should have put it out of its misery?

Didn't even know there was gonna be one. Since endgame I've only stuck around for spider-man

Doctor Who, not Doctor Strange. The TV show from BBC.

Oh, my mistake, sorry
