Old Timey: Doctor Who

For those who think Doctor Who declined exclusively during the Jodie Whitaker Doctor, think again. Doctor Who took a dive when the American marketing of the Doctor Who movie before the Chris Eccleston era suggested the Doctor was half human. It was obvious that marketing an Alien hero as half Human to American audiences was about the American worldview- that a Foreigner or Alien can never be held up as the hero in the right. 

But it also showed that American Marking would determine the future of Doctor Who's packaging. They dont want to understand what Doctor Who is-  

What is the Doctor? 

Firstly, the Doctor is a chameleonic, time travelling alien from a chameleonic, time travelling alien species. Chameleons are Chameleonic to avoid predators, or hunt prey. The species looks human because that is where they hide. That makes humans food, or part of their camouflage plan (and we see this in the beginning with An Unearthly Child). Timelords are not the top of the food chain if they are a chameleonic time travelling species that evolved to hide from a predator that may still be looking for them.

Secondly, the Doctor is a tour-guide introducing ignorant little humans to a Universe filled with Cosmic Horror.

Thirdly, the Doctor is an Arsonist looking to set fire to all human-centric belief. Gender, Race, Religion, Equality, and Culture is there to be set fire to Because the burning rubble of your civilization is just there to illuminate a Dark road along which the Doctor is travelling.
