COOL GUY ZONE
space karate
JingleBells
Well NOT all WHOVIANS lose their shit when The Doctor regenerates but some are really loud with their displeasure
JingleBells
YES
JingleBells
Thats on 10s Stagger
JingleBells
Venusian Akido - thats the space karate
JingleBells
its pressure point karate actually
JingleBells
but in space
Exacerangutan
I mean I presume it's based loosely on... aikido XD
JingleBells
loosely XD
Exacerangutan
so probably a lot of throws and submission techniques
Exacerangutan
...which I think remember being a thing
Exacerangutan
I mean it's also a thing made up in, what, the early 70s? so I imagine "loosely" is an understatement XD
JingleBells
yeah we only seen 12 and 13 use the pressure point aspects of it
Exacerangutan
actually including anything resembling real martial arts is more of a late 90s and later sort of thing in scifi XD
JingleBells
well Who was ahead of the times in a lot of ways
KrisKrampus
Yeah, Jon Pertweee described it as "mostly my grabbing someone and slinging them over my shoulder while yelling 'HAAAII!'"
Exacerangutan
XD
JingleBells
xD
Exacerangutan
I mean it's a step up from yelling JUDO FLIP but
JingleBells
Doctor hasnt thrown anyone for a while but like I said - we have had 12 and 13 use pressure points; actual pressure points
JingleBells
so probably changed a bit from when Pertwee in the 70s was doing this
JingleBells
anyways what also made me laugh
JingleBells
Was how ridiculous Who sounds as show
JingleBells
Because if Who was pitched today in 2020; rather than 1963
JingleBells
the idea that you change your main charcater
JingleBells
Thats' crazy
JingleBells
Think about the lack of audience loyality
JingleBells
Who would never be green-lite in todays media
JingleBells
though they didnt pitch in 1963 that The Doctor changed
JingleBells
that was adapting that they were only 2 years into something that was finally taking off and your main lead really is dying :/
JingleBells
and then they had to logic how this works into the show
JingleBells
theres a lot of Who lore that wasn't set in stone least till Tom Bakers run in 1974
JingleBells
which the main was seeing Gallifrey ^
JingleBells
and it took till the 3rd Doctor with the second heart
JingleBells
but yeah in 1966, The BBC had to figure out how to have their hit new show (by miracle srsly) and totally not expected
JingleBells
How to have Doctor Who without Doctor Who as Hartwells health was getting worse
JingleBells
and that is the real story on why they wrote in why The Doctor regenerates
JingleBells
but again in todays tv boardcasting the studio wouldn't do a replacement like in the 1960s
JingleBells
TV was different back then in a lot of ways and Who is such a TV history, film history piece if you look at all of it
Exacerangutan
wait didn't 12 judo flip the guy who shot Bill
JingleBells
yes there was also that
JingleBells
anyways- any Doctors after Doctor 3 knows space karate
