    The painting is a reference to the wreck of the medusa, a naval disaster with the crew and passengers drifting out to sea in a giant makeshift raft. The crew eventually resorted to cannibalism to survive. Maybe the link the cybermen is the utter desperation to survive.

    “Silver mirror” would be a good name for an episode like you described. Also, I can imagine a team of scientists and engineers, working in isolation due to the pandemic and collaborating online, developing this technology. First ventilators that can be made in a garage workshop with 3d printers and such. Then, artificial lungs for those too far gone for ventilators. Then neural pain suppressors to make the artificial lungs bearable. Then more subtle suppressors for the emotional pain of so many deaths. Then,finally, as they one by one succumb to the disease and are forced to use this tech to survive, the realization that humanity must change its fundamental nature to survive. Thus, Cybermen.

Humankind WANTING conversion to escape corruption and all the other pain going on in the world. Rise of the Cybermen and Age of steel terrified me at the time of broadcast but even at the age of 6 I knew it was somewhat poignant and compelling. Tomb of the cybermen is also a masterpiece can’t deny that. Just found your videos a few weeks ago and I’ve been binging Dalekcember and Cybercember simultaneously, it’s incredible ( made my December so much better) Im loving this kind of content and I can’t wait to see who you cover next 👍🏻

    As someone who's trying to write a Cybermen story, this marathon has helped a lot, to identify the pro's and con's of these villains. So kids, what have we learnt?
    1.) The Cybermen are not robots, but are not humans. Don't make them emotional, but don't make them emotionless.
    2.) They should be the main focus of their story, and work best when they're not playing second fiddle to another villain.
    3.) For God's sake, give them a simple plan with a simple goal, that doesn't have 20 steps and plot holes.

    I like that idea of what to do with the cybermen, it takes the idea and evolves it well, fitting in great with modern issues. I think that it would definitely make for an interesting story.
    I have an idea for a trilogy of stories, the first two parts would be told together and the third part would be the Christmas special at the end of the next series (this is from my own 5 series layout of what would I do with doctor who). The first part is has an aliens feel, the doctor arrives on a colony, on an asteroid on Christmas day, in the middle of a cybermen invasion and after running into some survivors they try to help them escape but the characters get picked off one by one. At one point befire they die the parents of a child get the doctor to promise to look after her (the doctor also takes a liking to her like they do with anyone who is worthy of being a companion) but near the end the doctor loses the child and leaving the other survivors to escape they run back into the colony to rescue her from conversion. Unfortunately the doctor is to late, they prevent the erasing of their memories and emotions but that's all that remains and after destroying the cybermen in a moment of rage they take her to a care home in the future, one that specialises in cybernetics.
    Part two would have the cyber program take control, with the converted child taking people over, until the doctor gets them to fight back against the programming, the child cyberman dies but in the process frees the remaining cybermen of the programming and creates a whole new race of cybermen. Saddened by the loss but happy about the new future of the cybermen the doctor leaves to their next series of adventures.
    Part three would pick up after that series finale (possibly after the storyline where I'd break the doctor, with galifrey under the master, who also caused them to regenerate, the monk and the rani's rule, secretly controlled by the valeyard, who in an earlier story turned out to be the meta crisis doctor after rose's death and have a series of them being built back up after giving up on the universe and running away) and the doctor ends up several hundred years after the previous events. There they learn that at some point the entire cyberpeople where marginalised and scapegoated and finding the last of their kind frightened and alone the doctor is determined to save them. This doesn't end well, as the story would end with the cyberman dying in their arms but the image affects the public and some characters in the story see what they have done and decide to do something to change how the world is. Tired and not caring the doctor leaves. This one being more about fear of those who are different.
    I'd definitely want to bring in more of the body horror element and more of the tragedy element and run with that.

  • @schmoobmcfroob2800
    @schmoobmcfroob2800 3 роки тому +5

    I don’t think the story proposal at the end really lines up with what makes the Cybermen work. It would be interesting, sure, certainly a new angle where Cybermen are concerned- but the whole ‘brainwashed by the oppressive ruling class’ thing has been done to death for decades, and it would unavoidably result in that same problem of the Cybermen playing second fiddle to the real villains. If you make out the Cybermen to be victims to anyone other than themselves, it loses that crucial sense of inevitability that makes them so scary.
    In my eye, what makes the Cybermen scary isn’t the idea of this horrific process that has been forcibly done to them; it’s the idea of this horrific process that they did to themselves willingly, how they’re only trying to share what they genuinely view as a better way to live. There’s no malice there, no evil schemes (at first anyway), Cybermen are just something that becomes more likely to happen the longer a society goes for; no matter how thriving or how miserable the starting population was beforehand.

    Thanks for the daily event. I looked forward to each day, each review, each in-depth insightful opinion and I enjoyed every second of it. I died for 3 minutes in surgery in the middle of this year and recovery has been slow. The idea of cybernetics to enhance life or remove emotions is a very potent thought in my mind now. This was a rough year for us all and it's UA-camrs like you who keep us informed, inspired and entertained. Looking forward to maybe a Master-cember? Who knows. Who... knows.

  • @DalekTheSupreme
    @DalekTheSupreme 3 роки тому +20

    I think the best thing to do with the Cybermen is to give them their own episode. No Daleks, no Master, no other villains unless it's a Tobias Vaughn type who is being used by the Cybermen, just the silver giants. Focus on the body horror (as much as a family friendly show will allow) and the loss of self. Show their strength and physical invulnerability, but also their inability to understand emotion. For me, World Enough and Time/The Doctor Falls and The Haunting of Villa Diodati have been a return to form for the Cybermen. Portray them like that.
    Also, I would love a Cyberman story where Ashad is resurrected as a Cyber-Planner and the story is interspersed with flashbacks to Ashad's backstory, with the Ruth Doctor being involved and serving as the Doctor's connection to those flashbacks.

    11:26 - Personally I think it would be more subversive, interesting, and closer to the Cybermen's origins to have a guerilla, desperate opposition decide to remove pain, emotion and hurt to confront those inflicting it.
    That way your story is about where you draw your moral line when fighting corruption ("do you have to become a monster, to fight a monster?") And it reflects the tragedy of the original Mondassians, who just wanted to survive, and turned to technology - but went too far.
    I also find it more logical than a population turning to their oppressors for the solution.

    Not to bore you with my own personal story, but sometimes when I watch dr who. I think. If the cybermen were converting me. Yes I'd put up a fight. But when they start announcing how it would free me from pain, emotional baggage, stress, worry, greif. I honestly think its possible I'd loosen my grip on my own life. I'm not dying. I'm still going to be here. But not have all my problems anymore. Its understood how humans may be tempted by that. But if I heard any of my children cry out or just caught site of them in fear. I'd snap. My submission would just disappear. I'd certainly feel like I would be able to rip a cyberman peice by peice to protect my kids. Not myself. But them yes. Definitely would be a good exploration to visit. Maybe it could tie into why Arshad volunteered for the ultimate upgrade.

    I think Unicorn and the Wasp had a minor cameo as well as I recall a Cyberman chestplate or something in the Doctor's possession or something with Agatha Christie's book.
    I think part of the shadow hanging over the Cybermen is not only the fact that they're playing second fiddle to the Daleks, but that they're kind of playing second fiddle to Star Trek's Borg as well. Those guys really stuck their claim as cyborg icons of assimilation (and them having an exterior of visible organic and technological components adds to the eeriness). It helps that they work as such a great mirror to the philosophies of the Federation and had quite a few impactful moments (and even a film). While they did get watered down overtime that peak is something the Cybies have never quite managed.

    I think next year would obviously make sense as Master-cember like probably everyone else has been thinking, but I think the year after that would make sense to be UNIT-cember. There aren’t any other villains who have enough stories like the The Daleks, Cybermen, and Master. The only other entity in the Doctor Who universe that could rival them in story amount is UNIT. I did the math in my head, and if you subtract the stories UNIT shares with the previously mentioned three villains, they have a perfect 25-ish amount of stories. Maybe even more than enough!

    I actually think the Cybermen are also the perfect base under siege villain. You don't have to establish what they want outside of having a minor character get converted, Ashad showed conversion isn't even a perfect process and can lead something way worse than if it's completed so getting saved part way through might be worse than getting killed. They're a ceaseless, needless mirror of humanity, one that won't stop until they've accomplished their goals and forces those under siege to make decisions to survive.

    I actually had an idea for my own Cybermen story. To put it simply it's a retelling of my all time favorite movie: Fritz Lang's Metropolis. My idea was that the Doctor and his companion(s) accidentally take aboard Fritz Lang and his wife (at the time) Thea Von Harbou after a quick trip to 1920s New York (where Fritz Lang got the spark of inspiration for Metropolis). They go to a distant planet with class struggles and retro-futurist art deco designs and on this planet the Cybermen get started as a means to make the workers more efficient by turning said workers into them. A different take on what was the original purpose of Futura the robot from that movie.

    Just like with Dalekcember last year, I have thouraghly enjoyed Cybercember. Gave me something to look forward each day in this abysmal year. Aswell as Christmas of course!
    Here’s my own Cybermen Story ranking as it stands right now as I am currently rewatching the Revived series:
    1. Tomb of the Cybermen
    2. Earthshock
    3. World Enough and Time/The Doctor Falls
    4. Rise of the the Cybermen/Age of Steel
    5. The Invasion
    6. Army of Ghosts/Doomsday
    7. The Tenth Planet
    8. The Haunting of Villa Diotadi/Ascension of the Cybermen/The Timeless Children
    9. The Moonbase
    10. The Next Doctor
    11. Attack of the Cybermen
    12. Silver Nemesis
    13. Nightmare in Silver
    14. Closing Time
    15. Revenge of the Cybermen
    16. Dark Water/Death in Heaven
    I haven’t seen (or heard) Wheel in Space fully.
    So what’s next for December 2021? Mastercember? Weepingcember? Included expanded media like with Cybercemer. Regenerationcember? Could cover the Regeneration and post Regeneration stories you’ve yet to cover. Would be appropriate if, ONLY IF, Jodie Whittaker announces her departure from the role come 2021.

    I’d like to see this, in Series 13 and 14- and I mean your idea for a cyberman story, it’s rather fitting- it’s already been established, there’s civil unrest and growing corruption in Britain in the Chibnall era, probably even worse than our Britain (if that’s even possible)- and, yes. Perfect for a cyberman story. You could even link it to the origin to Ashad from ascension of the cybermen.

    1. The Tomb of the Cybermen
    I have always been a fan of the stories where the Cybermen are front and centre and not playing second fiddle to Daleks, the master, etc. That's why I'm a big fan of the top 4.
    I think the story I'm really keen to see would be one focussed around the origins of Mondas and the Cybermen's birth on their planet. A story that shows the desperation they got to for survival and how they had lost all hope. I always thought the initial state of the humans in WEIT and TDF were great, the look of the gowns and the blue liquid inserted in to them is haunting. Overall the other gripe I have is with the design of the Cybermen, I feel they lost a of of the cool voices and looks over the re-designs.

    On TV, the Cybermen sometimes have it tough. But their good stories are all-time classics:
    1. World Enough and Time/The Doctor Falls
    2. The Tomb of the Cybermen
    3. Earthshock
    4. The Haunting of Villa Diodati (make it a standalone and slight rewriting to focus more on Ashad and this would be number one)
    5. The Invasion
    6. Rise of the Cybermen/The Age of Steel
    7. The Tenth Planet
    8. Attack of the Cybermen
    9. Amy of Ghosts/Doomsday (not their best showing, but it's a solid finale regardless)
    10. The Moonbase
    11. Nightmare in Silver (guilty pleasure)
    12. Closing Time (really turned my opinion round on this one, it's really solid, fun Who)
    13. Cyberwoman
    14. Ascension of the Cybermen/The Timeless Children (certainly more interesting to talk about then any of the ones below, plus Ascension is just a solid episode in its own right)
    15. The Next Doctor
    16. The Wheel in Space
    17. Silver Nemesis
    18. Dark Water/Death in Heaven (redeemed by good production and strong standalone scenes)
    19. Revenge of the Cybermen

      As stated though, Cybermen aren't Pokémon. To have a Mondasian Cyberman as a companion, in isolation they would stay as a Mondasian Cyberman. That was the only part of The Doctor Falls I thought was a bit naff. Especially when the Cybus-men were used. Considering they are a parallel to those of Mondas & Telos.

    I love the idea at the end. I drafted these lines to see what they sound like:
    Doctor: Look at them! They’re starving in the streets. Marginalised and abused, your workers. Your friends. Your fantastic government has lined their pockets with their money and run. They’ve lied to you Gen. There are people dying on curb corners, look at them! No wonder you’re depressed.
    Gen: Well… they say they have a thing for that now.
    Doctor: What?
    Gen: They call it… the depersonalisation program.
    Doctor: What does it do?
    Gen: Well, eh… no-one really kno-
    Doctor: Gen. I am being deadly serious right now. Tell me what that means.
    Gen: You… you can still see what going on… but… you’ll just stop caring about it.
    Doctor: … that’s it then. They use you and abuse you, and you don’t even know it, but theres something isn’t there. Something in the back of your head telling you something wrong. And they can’t have that. So, when the slightest chance of removing it; of being ignorant to their actions come along… no wonder they’re taking it.
    ... I've seen this before... Along time ago. And I hoped I'd never see it again, but I guess thats the point. The Cybermen can appear anywhere when desperation comes to call.

      That sounds like it'd be an awesome story. I'm imagining this as a 14th Doctor story with The Doctor being played by Michael Sheen. I don't think this idea would really work with Jodie in her current form. But with a 14th Doctor played by Sheen. Giving us an ever so slightly darker Doctor, after some incredibly traumatic event that causes 13 to regenerate. I think this would be a good finale for his first season.
      Side note: This is coming from someone who really likes Jodie's doctor. I just think a story like this is a little bit too much for her Doctor. Michael Sheen giving us a similar sort of Vibe to his Character in Good Omens, aziraphale, but with a slightly darker edge to him would be awesome.
