- Just a little something I slapped together in a day, Power of The Doctor review coming soonish, probably this week,
Here's the tier maker I used if you want to make your own: tiermaker.com/...
Stay Frosty!
Christ what an awful, awful list
RIP Opinions
Yeah. WHY THE HELL PUT JODIE IN F?
@@Hgames_RBLX I agree, too high of a placement.
@@Hgames_RBLX Because she was awful. F is for failure.
@@Hgames_RBLX jodie is trash
I think Eccleston could have been an S tier doctor but he had such a short time on the show 😢 would have loved to see more of his doctor
Agreed. Eccleston belongs in S. Also don't know anything said in video which deserved B. It sounded like he was putting him in S or A.
Edit: then how he spoke about Tennant and put him in A. It didn't sound like he like Tennant better.
Agreed
Capaldi is sooooo good. The episode with the mummies controlling humanity, and Capaldi almost becoiming the Valeyard for a moment... but starting to regenerate in front of Bil... it was unexpected and I started crying shouting : "not now..."
and it was indeed a fakeout ! But still. Capaldi, the legend : "This regeneration... it's a bit of a clerical error anyways!!!"
"these shoes! They fit perfectly!"
"Bring me knitting!!"
Paul McGann is amazing, the Night of the Doctor was the best minisode since the Time Crash of Tennant-Davison
“Well how’s that for gratitude?”
“Good on you Ragsnov, that’s not going to keep the stabilisers going isn’t it?
11 is my favourite but I understand why 12 is yours I love him as well.
Other than Eccleston, I agree with this list. Eccleston revived the show, and it's hard to overstate how important he was back in 2005. Great character and his run felt one of the most complete out of any of them.
I watched every episode of Doctor Who ever made, but it pains me no end that I couldn't rewatch most of Patrick Troughton's 2nd Doctor because the BBC, wiped the tapes. Hartnell is my #1 Classic Who Doctor, because he was my first. Matt Smith is my favorite NuWho Doctor. I love Matt's portrayal of an old soul in a young body.
I feel so bad for Jodie xD
Still, this tier list was completely on point, really fascinating to watch, really appreciate you giving your honest full thoughts and reasoning, and...it's just great to see another one of your videos again after almost a year of...nothing... ^^'
(Yes, I saw the D&D video, tis quite a fun lol)
Glad you enjoyed!
Don't feel sorry for her,. She was terrible and had a bad attitude. Never has an era been swept under the carpet so quickly. We won't be seeing her again.
@@blastfromthepast8344Except you should be feeling sorry for her. Jodie herself is not at fault, it's The Chibnal's writing.
All I need to know is you put 7 in A tier and I'm happy. He's superb
Except in Season 24.
It's nice to see 7 get a bit of love. The master manipulator and chess master - taking on gods and monsters - contrasted by the explosive teenage rebel, Ace, who is almost the complete opposite of the Doctor. Their dynamic is so good - ranging from caring teacher/student moments to familial arguments and personality clashes. She really is the template for modern Who companions, and I'll always appreciate a Doctor who doesn't shy away from taking the darker route when necessary.
Would’ve loved to see Jo Martin play 13. She would’ve brought so many layers and so much gravitas to the role. Shame :(
Nothing against Jodie, tho. Her work on Broadchurch was spectacular, sad we didn’t get more of that in Doctor Who.
Jo Martin would have killed it and also wouldn't have used her race or gender as an excuse if she fucked up. She's been a Doctor Who fan since childhood.
@@tomnorton4277 Jodie never did that either.
@@tomnorton4277 Wtf are you talking about, Jodie never used her race and gender as an excuse for messing up 💀
I'm baffled by the hype Jo Martin gets, because she was a big nothingburger to me. Is it just that folks know her from something else, and so they bring that into her Doctor Who role?
@@stuffyouotterlistento1461 I just thought her depiction of the Doctor was much more interesting and compelling than Jodie’s plain portrayal of the Doctor.
So happy for your new video! Waiting for the Power of Doctor's review))
Almost totally agree with your rank, but for me Tennant is quite higher, I really love him, he is so special and dark below the surface. And, of course, Capaldi is best of the best, no questions.
Hey welcome back, you've been missed, and I look forward to more of your WHO content. Let's hope RTD brings back something good to talk about. Take care.
I hope so too! Thank you.
I hope so, also, but I’m not holding my breath.
Gotta agree with 12 😎 I'd have pertwee higher mainly because he was my first.
Tenant was so blooming annoying with his ego and god complex.
Loved Jodies doctor , some of the stories weren't great but the way she tries to explain her thought processes is great.
also her " summit" speech in the haunting of villa diodati was pretty impressive.
Thanks for taking the time to do this, very interesting 👍
My ranking:
1. Tom Baker
2. Sylvester McCoy
3. Peter Capaldi
4. David Tennant
5. Patrick Troughton
6. Jon Pertwee
7. Paul McGann
8. Colin Baker
9. William Hartnell
10. Christopher Eccleston
11. Matt Smith
12. Peter Davison
13. Jo Martin
14. John Hurt
HUUUUUGH SPACE
15. Jodie Whittaker
you missed the point he didn't give up the name of the doctor until he was at the push-the-button moment.
I'm American and I think Dr. Who being American in any way, shape, or form is just wrong in so many ways...except for the time when the Daleks were in New York. That was pretty cool.
the war doctor is very good in the comics and audios, same goes for 8th he has my favorite dr who moment ever in the audios
Let me guess... hmmm... "How did yo get in?" D- "Your back door was open." "No it wasn't." D- "It was when I'd finished with it."
OR : D- "Bored is just a blank page on which you can write an adventure." "Written many adventures have you?" D- "Enough to fill the biggest library in the Universe."
OR : D- "Centris, can you hear me?" "DOCTOR!!" D- "It's that man again, Centris!"
OR : "SURRENDER HUMANS! DEATH IS CERTAIN!" D- "Well it's a statistical inevitability at least, thanks for reminding us!"
OR : Butler - "I assume it was suicide, Doctor?" D- "Yes, I imagine so, it's quite clear that Frederick brought the car into the house, ran himself over with it, and put it back outside before he finally expired." Charley- "Doctor!" Butler - "Most Unfortunate!"
OR: "We can do this the easy way..." D-"Quiet relaxed conversation, while you listen to me?" "Hard way then."
4:58 made me absolutely fucking HOWL with laughter. I just heard Tom's voice in my head like "GENociiiide" 😂😂
You’re back!! Awesome vid.
Yes! Thank you!
I watched, but for me it is so much harder cause I've lived and loved these characters since I was 5 and Tom Baker was just ending and I was scared of Peter Davison cause I wanted MY Doctor to stay! I guess I came in around the start of Season 18 and was filling in the gaps watching 12 to 17 with my Dad to catch up. So yeah, I've had a lot longer to draw an opinion on the older Doctors. I also own and have listened to more Big Finish than anyone could ever remember. I have EVERYTHING (except Torchwood, Class, & Unbound audios). I've heard it all. I also own and have read all the Virgin books, all the Telos Novellas, and about half the BBC Books (I'm behind on reading). So it is so hard for me to pick favorites. Each has a place in my heart. So instead of Tiers, I'll just list numbers from best to worst, including all media. Ahem: 12, 8, 10, 4, 7, 11, 9, 5, 6, 2, 3, W, 1, 13, F... and F is mostly last cause I have nothing to go by really. I quit watching after Timeless Child. I do plan to pick it up again and slog through, but Series 12 was just so awful from start to horrible finish I just couldn't go on. Given my monetary investment into the brand I think this says a lot. From what little I understand of what came after apparently there is a Fob Watch Arc thing that contains the Timeless person and the Doctor just inhabits their body, but isn't them, or something like that, but its still wonky, and makes me wonder how Fugitive even works at all, and just OMG, make it stop RTD, save us all from this Retconn Hellscape!
But back to the numbers, it is so hard to put any of them low on the list because I love them all so much.
The issue with Jodie Whittaker's Doctor for me is that she's Lady Matt Smith but without the dark emotional undercurrent. I actually like Jodie Whittaker and think she could have made a great Doctor, but the writing and direction for her really let her down. I agree with what you said about Jodie's acting talent shining through just a few times. We got a few fleeting glimpses of a truly interesting Jodie Whittaker Doctor, and then it was back to the bubbly, shallow Doctor she was for most of her time on the show.
I respectfully disagree with your David Tennant ranking. I think he's a very well-acted and well-written Doctor, but I don't like his romantic interest in Rose or his tendency to be self-absorbed late into his run. The self-absorbed thing gave us a couple of really compelling character growth moments for the Doctor, but it still rubbed me the wrong way. I would put Tennant's Doctor just under Eccleston on the B tier.
Matt Smith is an A-tier Doctor for me. I guess it's because series 5 of modern Doctor Who is my favorite Doctor Who series. I consider it almost a masterpiece from a writing standpoint. I love how cohesive the storytelling is, and Matt Smith is the perfect Doctor for a fairy tale setting.
I completely agree with Peter Capaldi being the lone Doctor in the S tier. He absolutely nailed his time as the Doctor, and we even got to see a significant amount of character growth for him -- all the way from his stern, curmudgeonly, awkward beginnings in series 8 to his warmth and playfulness in The Husbands of River Song. And the series 9 episode 'Heaven Sent' -- an episode Peter Capaldi carried by himself -- is my favorite Doctor Who episode of all time.
I actually don't know classic Doctor Who at all, so I have no idea how I would rank the other Doctors. I just know that Tom Baker's Doctor is wildly popular (and I'm pretty sure he's my dad's favorite Doctor), so the A ranking for him makes sense to me.
Hi You're the first person I have discovered who agreed with my belief that (to steal your words)...his tendency to be self-absorbed,,...still rubbed me the wrong way. I am glad others could see this behind he veneer of the 'cool' thing. Many of the Doctor's (not all) can be summed up by their regeneration. Smith and Capaldi were completely selfless. Eleven's speech was so graceful. I toss and turn between 11 and 12 because both had such depth and compassion just expressed is vastly different ways. They are the perfect Ying and Yang for me. I loved Tennant but as the years have passed what I onced loved about him most now sometimes grates as excessive and again self-pitying. He almost feels as if he is showing off.
When he and Rose fell in love, so did I. Yet now I hate that storyline and wish it had not happened. The 'love' between 12 and Clara though was just as powerful but was not romantic - in fact it was much more profound than that - something some viewers do no have the capacity to understand as for most of us it comes with age. Romantic love is not the deepest form of love and involves grace and selflessness.
To be fair Ten was very graceful and selfless when he was 'honoured' to save Wilfred. Rose though and Ten were so smug in their second series together was very annoying and hard to bear. Many argue this was his character arc but I don't think I can ever accept an alien of vast intelligence of an age in the hundreds who fall romantically in love with a nineteen year old girl from Earth.
Whiitaker was terrible. Yes, the writing was bad, but she had none of the skills or qualities needed. She was utterly clueless and gave an inept and embarrassing performance. She was the most badly cast Doctor of them all... and even brilliant writing would not have disguised that. She's gone, thank god, and we'll never see her Doctor ever again.
I agree with all three of you. Tennant’s Doctor’s self-absorbed trait also rubbed me the wrong way. Not just his little speech at the end, but also how he shouted, “I could have done SO MUCH MORE!” when Donna’s grandad (was his name Will? I forgot, and I loved that character 😭) accidentally trapped himself in that chamber. Plus, the way he acted in “The Waters of Mars” at the end was quite insufferable. Sad thing is, otherwise, I really liked 10.
As for my favorite Doctor, it’s definitely a toss-up between Baker and Capaldi. Baker was my gateway Doctor as a teen, and I loved everything about him. I loved his whimsy, his Bohemian ways, and his ability to get to the heart of what was right and moral. And Peter? I love Peter so much! He has the best story arc and character growth. I wish he could have had a longer run. 😣💔💔
Sorry but not sorry, I think Jodie Whittaker’s acting was HORRENDOUS. She doesn’t have the acting chops nor the gravitas it takes to be the Doctor. Yes, a lot of it was because of the writing (she didn’t even have her own Doctor speech), but she also did not have the weight to pull off the role. Not once during her run could I look at her and say, “Ahhhh, THERE’S the Doctor.” She was SO un-Doctorish in every way. For instance, the REAL Doctor would have not only comforted Graham when he thought his cancer was coming back, he (yes, I said he, SUE ME) would have busied himself testing Graham, and find a cure if his tests turned out positive. He wouldn’t have walked away “being awkward.” Plus, 13 was absolutely insufferable and self-absorbed, virtue signaling, and putting down men every chance she got, lecturing them about their “toxic masculinity.” UGH. I think B-WHERE was very generous ranking 13 where he did. I would have shoved 13 into the Black Hole Of Rankings.
@@farashahanem Thank you Farasha for your very articulate and interesting comments. Moreso, thanks to your direct honesty I feel I can be truthful and say I thought Jodie Whitaker was a woeful Doctor. In fact she wasn't even that. She felt more like a suburban public servant than the Doctor, or as you put it un-Doctorish. For males it has been difficult to make this argument or hold such a view as so many others pile upon you calling you a sexist or bigoted. I am neither. Yes there are some extremists out there who have been vulgar, crude and down right rude about the actress but they are in the minority. Most, like me just thought she was a terrible Doctor and was an example of dreadful miscasting. Ruth for example seemed a much more Doctorish persona. Chibnall's writing was simply crap. That's really all the attention I will give to that man who almost destroyed the show.
Tom Baker well what can one say. A legend Aside from his last season he was the Doctor but then Capaldi is now right up there. I think I will classify them as best of the classic and beso of the reboot series. That way I can have my cake and eat it too.
Farasha thank you again. What a pity you didn't make the video. I too would not even put Whitaker on the list. Interestingly and tellingly all those who tell me she was a great Doctor actually never watched any of her series run!
Self absorption and pity is an very annoying personality trait and I am so happy others share that view. Farasha and Blastfromthepast could make a good Doctor and companion duo. I don't mind who takes which role. I'll be K9 and we'll take the DW world by storm!
My giddyaunt!
@@farashahanem Which is why I can't take RTD seriously when he says (in the new DWM) that Jodie was 'magnificent'. This is either cause to be very concerned about him or he's just taking the you know what. Whittaker was, by a long way, the worst Doctor of them all. These past five years have made me ashamed to be a Doctor Who fan.
I agree with almost every part of the list except the placement of David Tennant. My own personal biases aside I still feel he deserves an s tier. I don't think any other doctor brought quite as much range aside from maybe capaldi. The intensity and the whimsy, the charm, the way he can be a flirt but also be intimidating and have this air about him that he's been through some hard stuff that didn't break who he was to me was brilliant
Jody did a very good job with the stories she was given. The problem is that the stories weren't very good.
The very best thing about her era was The Timeless Child storyline. Whatever else you might think about it, it finally resolved a lot of dangling plot threads from the 4th and 7th Doctor eras.
The 4th Doctor introduced The Morbius Doctors - which the director had long confirmed were intended to be pre-Hartnell incarnations of The Doctor.
And, a plot thread from the 7th Doctor era was intended to culminate in the reveal that along with Rassilon and Omega that The Doctor was the third founder of Timelord civilization.
The rule is simple, your opinion on the 6th doctor is invalid unless you listen to at least 3-5 of his big finish audio stories
My tier list:
S-4th doctor,7th doctor,13th doctor,9th doctor
A-12th doctor,10th doctor,2nd doctor,6th doctor
B-11th doctor,3rd doctor,1st doctor
C-5th doctor,8th doctor
D-war doctor,fugitive doctor
I know you're gonna disagree with mine but I thought yours was good
11 is most definitely S Tier, or at least A Tier. C Tier? Nah.
I mean just that speech in the rings of askaban alone
11th is my personal least favorite doctor now that doesn't mean he is bad whatsoever there's not a single doctor I dislike yet however for me comparing him to the others just doesn't hold up as much yet its funny because Amy and rory may be my favorite companions of all time definitely up there at least
Saved me a watch, thank you!
Honestly, 11th is overrated. Matt Smith acting was very good as we can really feel how he incarnates this new more alien like style Doctor, but not everything about him are just flowers. While his writters try to pass a good message, many of the problems in certain episodes are solved because of people and the chemistry of love. The end of seasons 5 and 6 also hit similar as one is the end of the universe (quite similar plot again, since it was the same threat during series 4 final episodes for David Tennant) and the possible end of time just because River refuses to shoot him. Honestly, series 6 final is also way too badly explained. How of sudden River has the capability to now "disable" the weapon capacities of that astronaut suit and not kill him? And how everybody thinks he's dead since it was just a "big robot" of him full of that small space justice people inside? If you watch carefully, you'll see that many things don't match well with reality, not even for a sci-fi show like Doctor Who. Just because his robot touched River to fix time again, would a mechanical copying piece have the same effect as the actual person? How can everybody just "think" he's dead now?
Series 7A was also quite dull because, although we had cooler final adventures, the dismissal of Amy and Rory in "The Angels Take Manhattan" felt pretty instataneous and didn't really value their character. The 11th already had a lack of companions and the way they got rid of the 2 ones that were the longest with him was pretty straightfoward and it started a big gap during the series transition (hence series 7B times). The final book page with Amy's letter wasn't the best ending for it as we didn't even get a farewell from Rory as well, plus including "Father Brown" as his actual father in the last episodes was quite a dumb move, as both didn't have much of a present family. The fact he also "dates" wity Amy's and Rory's daughter (Melody aka River) is quite morally doubtful. Series 7B didn't last long and we had a Doctor with a very weird and negative view of life, less energy and a new TARDIS interior and exterior without any explanation.
So well, (skipping series 5 cuz I don't want to make a whole testament) his era is pretty much way too overrated. We can get that since he was the first Doctor from "New Who" released in North America to the public, so it catched stronger. Yet, if other Doctors are watched, we can get the best out if each of them. Cristopher Eccleston with his 1 series did an amazing job on carrying a past history foward; David Tennant brings joy, variety, darkness and attempts to live in freedom to not face his regrets; Matt Smith was the guy who tried to take a step foward, not looking back and always attempting to be funny, but he was needlessly arrogant at times; and finally, Peter Capaldi, who had to face a trashy plot with annoying Clara and Danny in series 8 before going absolute bombastic in series 9 and 10 with immeasurable improvements in writing and character with his already top acting.
11's my favourite S-tier👍
Have to agree with you on P-Cap. Twelve-Tucker is my spirit animal.
he really is the best!
My list:
S tier: the 12th doctor
A tier: the 10th doctor
B tier: the 11th doctor
C tier: the war doctor
D tier: 9th doctor
I dunno: 1st, 2nd 3rd 4th 5th 6th 7th 8th doctor
F tier: the 13th doctor
I hope Gatwa does well.
The 9th was my first, and he was fantastic. But I forget that while watching the other doctors, then I come back and watch him again and remember he is fantastic.
*throws tomatoes at screen* Smith and Tennant are equals. Now, writing and plot resolutions aside (and yeah, Moffat liked the magic of feelings solution far more than practical means) Smiths attitude, his charm, motivations, etc was shoulder to shoulder with Tennant.
Writing: Yeah, magic, but lets not skip over the terrible writing of all the doctors...specifically farting aliens, fat blob monsters, and..well just every episode with any kids involved tbh.
So here is the key...Tennant and Smith brought in a lot of new fresh eyes. Tennant for everyone, but Smith got a lot of females interested. Might have been the good looking cast overall that brought in the younger audience, and it might be a sad view of humanity that we enjoy watching younger good looking people, but it is what it is. Tennant and Smith equally did this. Capaldi, for all his merits, hit the show on a decline which only dramatically increased the decline with him being older. If he was the doctor right after Tennant, his run might have been a lot stronger ratings-wise, and then Smith could have boosted it all and kept it strong (no saving Jodie sadly unless they had full script rewrites...and even then...)
But anyhow, Capaldi deserves S tier from his strong acting...the writing was hit and miss in a lot of episodes. otherwise, this list is good. Smith and Tennant both deserve the A simply for the acting ability.
Tennants the better looking one. Idk what youre on about,
Mickey and Rose and Jack were all good looking plus Martha. Rory was mid and Amy was good. And clara? But that was really it. There wasnt really much good looking people in moffats era tbh
Personally I enjoyed Jodie Whittaker. I actually loved her explaining things. Her absentmindedness reminded my of myself. I'll be doing something important and I'll talk about what I eat for breakfast. I liked the silliness. It gave a wonderful break from all the seriousness. There are times I noticed that there were bits of darkness in her. But they were far and few between and I wish that was explored more.
She's not my favourite Doctor but I do like her nonetheless.
Jon Pertwee is my favourite Doctor of all time, which isn't common with us Millennials, and my boy is here getting straight disrespect. 🤣
Matt smith should have gone higher
Lol. We disagree on many things.
S: Tom Baker, David Tennant, William Hartnell
A: Matt Smith, Patrick Troughton
B : Sylvester McCoy, Peter Davison, Jon Pertwee
C: Colin Baker, Paul McGann, John Hurt, Christopher Eccleston
D: Jodie Whittaker, Peter Capaldi
I was gonna scream fuck you, when you put capaldi in the f tier
@@Mr.cladmaniac, I didn’t like most Capaldi-Clara stories (rating D), because: 1. his personality was harsh and obsessive, 2. he had a strange rivalry with Clara, and 3. Clara’s exit was agonizing long. I do like his stories with River, Bill, Nardol, and Missy though (rating A).
Every1 has there own opinion. But my ranking of the doctors from my fave to least fave are…
Troughton
Pertwee
Tom baker
Capaldi
Eccleston
Hartnell
Mccoy
Tennant
Davison
Mcgann
Smith
Colin baker
Whitaker
(Hurt is not in enough to fairly rank for me)
I personally hate how low you put 11th, but its ok, its a personal list. Still, you baesd a lot of the evaluations on the content, the stories, not just the portrayal, but somehow gave a full pardon to some of the bad writting the Capaldi era had. Still, i agree his portrayal of the doctor is just the GOAT.
Wooden - a good word. I wish I had of thought of that. I love a very accurate adjective.
Heaven Sent is the only argument you need to put Capaldi in S.
"How many seconds in eternity?"
I think I line up perfectly with you on the classic era, but our opinions are pretty different on the nu-who era.
My Opinions:
Patrick Troughton and Matt Smith are my favourites in each eras!!! I Love Paul Mcgannn, the man is Robbed in Screen Time!!! I find David Tennant, Peter Davidson and Jodie Whitaker far too Human, not Alien for this role. Tennant is overrated in both Era and in the Fanbase, he more feels too human for me...
I love that Classic Who divided in some parts, I watched a lot of shows that were like that in format.
Note about one thing one non Doctor
Who you said: My mum grew up with the 60's Batman and my brother and me loved it!!!
Jodie Whitaker hasn't clicked with me as the Doctor, and Yet I love Missy (Female Master) and another show that had a genderswaped Lead as another character, it worked...Chris Chibnall just didn't do anything for my of this Era. (And something with the initials TC was a cause...)
Tom Baker absolutely should be at the very top! I would have put Pertwee above Troughton. Tennant was barely below Baker. Eccleston, Smith and Capaldi would be A tier.
Been watching Who since I was a kid in the 80s, am a mega-fan, and yeah, Capaldi is still the GOAT. And the Fugitive Doc was boss omg.
Would you like a jelly baby? Can I have a jelly baby?
Honestly, Jodie’s Doctor could’ve been good if she actually had a competent writer
That is very true. Because I like Jodie's Doctor just the stories were not the best. Just like Colin's Doctor. I liked his Doctor just the stories were not the best. What is funny or ironic is a very young Chris Chibnel was on a panel during the 6th Doctor era. and he was knocking the stories. Irony? Now like I said I liked Jodie and the companions fine. The other thing Chibnel did great was introducing the Fugitive Doctor to the mix.
11:23 - The minute he put John Hurt in D:"Oh no, Oh no, you're going to get so flagged for that. Oh man."😬
I can forgive Pertwee, but TOM BAKER not in 'S' tier???? That's a crime to humanity!! You have Capaldi alone above him, that's hjust wrong, especially as 12 is a very derivitive amalgamation of the Classic Doctors. Don't get me wrong, I love Capaldi, he's my favourite NuWho Doctor, but there is no way Tom Baker's beyond-compare-highly-original Doctor beneath him. Now, I get your favourite is Capaldi, but c'mon... He's sat there alone in god-tier, and there is ROOM for THE GOD-TIER Tom Baker!! You could have had Tom as at least one Classic Doctor in the God-Tier too. Oooooh... you riled me XD
I went along and did my own assessment. There are no Doctors worse than C for me. They are all amazing and unique in their own way. Otherwise I would not watch?
Hey, you can listen to the episodes that are missing on audible. I got up to the 5th. I am about to start again with 5th.
you know you messed up when you look in the comments and everybody's written paragraphs
I'M Glad you included the Fugitive Doctor. I liked her to. Hopefully we see more of her.
I wish she never came about.
we agree on the GOAT of doctors
Why is there a video game in half the screen?
I think I would rank classic separately from the newer set. In classic 3, 2, 4, 1, were my tops. 8 was interestingly. 9-12 including war doctor, I loved all of them, 12 is my favorite then 11. Not surprising that 3 and 12 are both on my list. I agree about the fugitive doctor. She WAS the doctor. I wanted to love 13. I tried so hard. It was the explain, but more. They would multi shoot it from angles and blare them all at high speeds while she talked, I think to make it more fragmented or to speed her up… but I hated it. 14 is familiar and still deciding on 15.
After going back and looking at all my favorite episodes: they were almost all written by Moffat. I know that’s not a popular statement but…
You sound like Prince Zuko 5:47
Tennant will always be my favourite Doctor. Sure, Smith was great at being the eccentric and wacky Doctor, and Capaldi as the serious and earnest Doctor, but only Tennant’s incarnation felt like he could be both at the same time.
I do think Capaldi had a greater depth to his performance, but Tennant isn't far behind. He can do that, AND be the goofball, AND be the chessmaster, AND make women throw themselves at him. He has it all
I rate Capaldi slighter higher than Tennant. He has a far better nuance and depth to the part. He also is a mix of Classic & NuWho. I didn't really see that with Tennant.
I agree with this list although I’m a big fans of five and six too
All I can say is, if 9 isn't S tier, you are wrong. Any other opinions can be overlooked.
FINALLY!! respect on my man Capaldi's name
Where was the next doctor from David tenants era
Personal list:
S: 2, 3, 8, 11
A: 7, 9, 12
B: 1, 4, 6, War
C: 5, 10, 13
I'd put the 9th Doctor to S or God Tier
Eccleston's Doctor is criminally underrated
Jodie was destined to fail. The first time I felt the story itself was "whovian" was kerblam and sparce eps after that, but she never got dialouge that the doctor would say or do really. They treated her as a quirky space alien that was very loosely related to the actual doctor. They never allowed her to be serious and contemplative. She never seemed to project the authority of someone who is over 900 years old and has traveled all of space and time. Even her "love" story with Yaz didn't make sense. Usually, the doctor would notice the palpable tension and tell the companion that it would never work. Instead, they build up a moment and have Jodie say something like that mobile phone shouldn't be here in 1880. Let's go talk about that. That's not the doctor.
Gotta love my two most favourite Doctors ended up in C >.>
If Whittaker is anywhere except at the very, very, very bottom... this list is wrong. End of.
This was interesting!
I must admit my surprise to see 5 at c tier and not a bit higher. While 12 isnt my favourite i definitely agree with your points, sometimes we do have to ask ourselves "am i a good man?". Who was the last doctor you put on the list?
( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)
1:47 personally I’m used to watching stuff from that era so I really don’t find it slow at all, however I would still rank him at a B simply because I have a lot more glossing over the racism and sexism of the era
SPOILERS
I mean look at the episode The Dalek Invasion Of Earth, for example. This episode includes, in my opinion, one of the best written companion departures ever, intermingled within the story we see the relationship between Susan and David develop until it culminates in a big decision at the end between staying with David or with the Doctor. But, obviously, since it’s the 60’s and women can’t have any agency, the Doctor locks her out of the Tardis and makes the decision for her. It’s sad, yes, but also feels extremely condescending and misogynistic. Even the fact that the only way the show could think of having a female character leave the show was if she found a ✨man✨! For me, Hartnell is very enjoyable, but whenever there’s this kind of sexism or racism or colonialism (ESPECIALLY in historical episodes), I just find that it takes me out of the story and reminds me that this show is outdated. Just my personal opinion though.
I agree that the era can be outdated at times, but the first doctor is never outwardly racist or sexist himself (from what I can remember) and I always see him locking Susan out because he wants the best for her and sees she's old enough to be more independent. That's how I feel about it anyways
How dare you put Smith in C! He's A easily.
Matt Smith is S tier. He made Peter Capaldi look like an amateur in comparison despite having weaker writing AND being 25 years younger.
Capaldi in S and McCoy in A?
Thats what we call good taste.
12 is THE doctor
I don't agree with all of the placing, but I did enjoy the video. I am one of those that don't have to agree with someone to like like him or her.
The 10th doctor (David tennant) is my child hood
Ok so let me get this straight. The thirteenth doctor is below the doctor who CHOKED HIS COMPANION?! When I saw this I knew I could no longer take you seriously. The thirteenth doctor is kind and cheerful. And plugging that fan doctor at the end? Yeah that's cheap.
nuh uh
For me 10 11 and 12 are my favorite
Capaldi and Pertwee are S tier for me. Then A are Eccleston,Hartnell,Baker,McCoy and Troughton. B are McGann,Tennant,Hurt,Davison,Martin and Smith. C are C.Baker and Whitaker. Cringe is Gatwa
My ordered tier list:
S : 9, 4, 12
A: 2, 3
B: 6, 7
C: 8, 10, 1
D: 5, 11, 13 (tho those ones are interchangeable)
This list is awful, respectfully. But at least 7 is in his deserved spot. But how is Peter Davison better than 3!
Awful how? Tier lists are not supposed to be objective.
They say you can’t have a wrong opinion.
But you put Matt Smith in C Tier as well as the War Doctor and the black lady doctor in same tier
ikr? he should be lower
smith jon
What I didn't like about Jodie's costume was not the actual clothes. I didn't mind the coat.
I didn't like the very 2020's jewellery excess. Remember she is a Timelord who over 2000 years old (according to the last mention on air). Now let's stop and think a minute. 2000 YEARS and she just happens to like a fashion pertinent to maybe a twenty year period. That is a 1% likelihood. Or in other words after living more than 2000 years there was a one year period in her history that she was fond of. I quite like your list. I would swap McCoy with Matt Smith and would put Troughton up to B as his costume with the chequered trousers just reflected who he was so well. It's a difficult task, for Eccleston as a case in point. DW was on the comeback and the masses would n ot have been ready for a more typical outlandish outfit.
We also know all the actors who JNT made feature question marks were not happy. Thinking about that for a moment doesn't reflect well for JNT as it meant even though he knew it was an unpopular choice about six months in from Tom in burgundy the producer still made the nest two actors have the same symbol featured dominantly on their outfit.
Matt's second outfit (the purplish coat one) deserves to go into A or maybe top tier.
Over the years, I've found that watching the different Doctors have changed in my estimation of them, especially taking into account for BAD SCRIPTS. Poor Colin Baker was given horrid things--it's hard to think of a single story that was great the whole way through. It's a shame, too, because from his introduction at the end of Caves of Androzani, those first five minutes had me completely buying into him as The Doctor. I agree with you about the Second Doctor; the only reason I feel I know much about him at all comes from the Novelizations that Target Books put out. I found Sylvester McCoy comparatively unlikable, initially, and I found his stories relatively hard to watch; that said, he had some rotten stories that he had to carry.
And you know, even as I say that, Peter Capaldi had to carry HORRIBLE stories, and he bore them gracefully, brilliantly, to the point where even KILL THE MOON was almost watchable. Similarly, Jodi had to do much the same thing, and she did, only not as well. To be honest, though, she was caught in a horrible trap that she couldn't escape by gnawing off her limbs. Scripts under Chibnall frequently were a question of "Tell, don't show," and, of course, the way everything was presented didn't really give her much room to succeed. They could have kept her mostly asexual, like in her first season, and people would have complained that she wasn't given any romantic arcs; they could have given her a male romantic interest, and that would have been badly criticized; in the end, they played toward a thing with Yaz, and of course, that, too, brought outrage from a faction. There was just no winning route for her. I would have loved to see how better writers (and a better showrunner) would have done with them.
I just consider 14 as non-canon as it contradicts many years of lore on the origins of regeneration and a bunch of other things. To each their own.
Jodie Whittaker: F i refuse to comment
Capaldi: C (good doctor who got screwed by writers/show runner)
Mat Smith: B (The ultimate mixed bag. The good is really good but the rest is forgettable. Or outright bad also not a fan of the whole believe in yourself schtick and his speeches are all weak compared to 10's. )
David tennant: A (he's the reason the revival got popular)
Christopher Eccalston: S Fantastic Doctor who's term was far too shot
John Hurt: A (He absolutely sells the war doctor)
Paul McGann: S he's the reason to watch the movie his smile and cheery disposition are infectious and his BF stories are top tier.
7: tv B (big finish A) 7 only really got good when he became the master manipulator in the later episodes of his run.
6: C Same problem as capaldi, good doctor shit writers. (Only good in big finish)
5: D (used to be my favorite) not terribly memorable and incredibly subdued.
4: A I think he's over rated but I can't deny he plays the part well and there's a reason he's so popular
3: S dresses like a pimp, complete badass, and has a ton of great stories
2: D I can't think of any episodes that stick out other than war games which is admittedly damn good.
1:B He got the ball rolling but his stories are all over the place.
Fugitive doctor: No.
My view! S tier ) P.Capaldi - P.Troughton - C.Eccleston - "Old man 11th" Matt Smith
A tier ) Colin Baker - Tom Baker - Matt Smith - David Tennant
B tier ) McGann - Pertwee - McCoy / C tier ) Old Peter Davison - Hartnell - John Hurt - Sasha Dawan
D tier ) Dr. Ruth - Peter Davison - "1st Doc" David Bradley - ALL The other "Doctors" hidden in the Black Archive revealed by Chibnall
E tier ) Whitaker ... dead last.
Broadly agree with your list but you need to watch more Troughton and Pertwee, both of whom should be a lot higher. Matt Smith too.
Interesting that you demoted Troughton and Jo Martin because of lack of screen time, but that's not a problem with Paul McGann. Overall a reasonable list though I don't personally agree with the rankings.
I'd demote Peter Capaldi by two ranks because some of the stories were simply awful, and it was in his reign that the story's quality took a nosedive, but promote him one rank as he's such an excellent actor and made even dreadful stories watchable, so for me, he'd end up at the bottom of the A tier. He was excellent in the Doctor Who spin-off series Torchwood: The Children of Earth - which was about the only good episode in that series (probably because it ripped off Quatermass)
In the S tier I'd have Tom Baker and David Tennant, as the best of the two eras, with Baker just in the lead simply because his reign was so long, and because he became such an iconic Doctor.
Also on tier A I'd have Pertwee, Troughton and Eccleston, with Eccleston at the top followed by Troughton. I definitely wouldn't have Sylvester McCoy on this tier, for me he'd be at the top of C. So for A that would be Eccleston, Troughton, Pertwee and Capaldi.
On the B tier I'd have Matt Smith at the top, along with Paul McGann (who was way better than the hand he was given) followed by William Hartnell, whilst the C tier, as I said Sylvester McCoy and Peter Davison, both of whom were let down by the stories at this time, when the BBC wanted rid of Doctor Who. They could both have been great doctors..
Colin Baker, yes on the D tier, along with John Hurt and Jo Martin, with Jodie Whittaker on the naughty step, and lucky to be there., Troughton
I like Capaldi, but i like Christopher Eccleston
Ginger new 13 best 13
I love jodie, and I think she's done a great job with the material she was given. Just sucks that what she was given was a steaming pile of radioactive cat diarrhea.
15:30 Really? I don't remember there being too much of that. I'm glad my brother watched the series first and told me what to skip.
When is episode 11 coming out from your series??? 😁😁😁
When it's done. We only have 3 people on staff and they have very busy lives
@@BWHERE awesome! Been looking forward to it 😁 can’t wait 👌🏻 nice video! 😉 tho Tom Baker should be higher but totally agreed with Capaldi 😂
Matt Smith is the greatest Doctor and you put him in the C rank?!? Ugh! 12 is another one of my favorites though.
How is 11 below 8 and 7 and 1
You know that the reason why the sixth doctor tried to kill Peri was because of regeneration trauma right? It was a horrible Action no doubt about that, I'm Just trying to say that if not for the trauma he would definitely not do that
Excuse me? How could you forget the legendary Dr. who played by peter cushing? I am offended
Hey there you should rank the tardis interiors. I like 8's and 12's.
I mostly agree except I would have put the 11 . doctor in A. Could you make a video about The dragon prince season 3?
The show is doing so bad they had to bring back a bottom of A tier doctor to save it 😝. I think that speaks volumes on where 10 truly belongs.
youve hacked it with that minecraft footage. Taking influence from youtube shorts and tiktok reddit videos? That’s where I’ve seen it anyway
Really simply made this type of content more engaging haha. Well done
