@DW_MidJourney @JamesSwann2 They were all terminally something or other. Except Troughton. Part of the bigeneration is a total cellular repair - just omitting the complete reworking of the body configuration. I think the bigger issue is if they all got the giant cartoon hammer needed to get an extra TARDIS.

@angelocosmin1 @Collider Spineless outlets like these need to be boycotted until they either grow a pair or go bust.

[Rob Francis @fraxis]

@Sassy_Khat @Collider Absolute joke of an outlet.

[Rob Francis @fraxis]

@Collider “but still firmly within the wider DCU rollout as the franchise continues to build momentum.” What does that nonsense even mean? You seem to be saying ‘it came out, so everything is fine.’ The latest thing doing massively worse than the previous thing is not ‘momentum.’

@nonregemesse Because she took the money to be the face of a committee of dumb decision makers and wannabe writers in Marketing who literally threw it together? About 40 times, mostly during filming.

@Nerdrotics Grace didn’t like it?!!! Did her cheque bounce?

@jereereviews I think we’all just hate bad superhero films - but don’t try to lie on social media that it’s only the female led ones to stir up hatred and division, as you seem to be doing here.

[Rob Francis @fraxis]

@TheCriticalDri2 It’s almost as if ‘bad’ films aren’t only in the imagination of a cabal of misogynistic racists, just out to take down studios. If Chris Stuckmann likes it though, I’m all in. I trust his views. ;-)

[Rob Francis @fraxis]

@TheGriftReport They were saying that many months ago - specifically that she loooked like actor Will Poulter. Don’t pretend this is a new thing. Very unfair comment for people to make at any time, but it’s absolutely not primarily because of that remark.

[Rob Francis @fraxis]

@jerriesNYG So all reviewers hate women now? 🤣🤣🤣

[Rob Francis @fraxis]

@jesse_harrell @lebantineala I, for one, would say I have more favourite kick-ass female genre leads than male ones. And I definitely don’t swing the other way. Please don’t over-generalise, insulting people in the process. Oh, hang on, we’re on X. Carry on… 🤷‍♂️

[Rob Francis @fraxis]

@swainslake @T1cklesReviews @lebantineala So basically it’s academic what the ‘misogynist nerds’ say about a film in terms of box office impact. I honestly don’t know why some people are so concerned by them.

[Rob Francis @fraxis]

@ZylnorWrath @Tyler46610106 @lebantineala Variety are currently basically saying the writing is dogshit.

[Rob Francis @fraxis]

@Tyler46610106 @lebantineala Yep. Those ‘nerds’ generally liked that one.

[Rob Francis @fraxis]

@lebantineala You honestly think they hold that much weight? They themselves would probably laugh at the very thought! Lots of people on the other side of the fence praising absolute garbage too. Surely you have a trusted go-to reviewer at this point? If not, find one. Definitely worth it.

[Rob Francis @fraxis]

@TrilbeeReviews These cash grab linked media projects haven’t had much success, but even if this one flops too, I have a feeling something might unexpectedly rise from its ashes. And Jo does seem to be a good sport. It’s a shame the DVD doesn’t seem to have any linking material with her.

[Rob Francis @fraxis]

@MrJamesMay Good point, well made. Also, First Doctor looks nothing like William Hartnell. How on Earth did he get a blue tick, eh?

[Rob Francis @fraxis]

@sherlockds Almost everyone would vote for Clarkson to do all three though, and the poor guy is still on the mend!

[Rob Francis @fraxis]

@WhoPotterVian @WitchyWhittaker I’m still deeply scarred by what they filmed for Doom’s Day. Completely tanked the project before it started.
