the dalek's most dangerous weapon is an extendo claw with like 3 inches of clearance and even if the little girl puts both her hands directly in it, she can just break out #monsterdon
your entire plan rests on them not suspecting you are just a guy in one of their mech suits, and they have cameras all over their facility, and you want to get out because it's HOT IN THERE??? #monsterdon
you design your city so a one inch elevator misalignment completely obliterates your ability to move #monsterdon
elevators make sense in a society where people of all different shapes and sizes and modes of movement and carrying different things and moving in groups and so on. if your society was based around mechs where everyone was exactly the same size and shape and inside a mech suit you would just do like... hooks. or a forklift. and you would build your mechs so that there was a way for them to easily dock in a container for rapid movement.
anyway the conception of the dalek society is lazy and underdeveloped #monsterdon
ok so we made it back to the time and space machine so if we want to try and repair this timeline why aren't we rapidly teleporting back and forth through time to acquire the proper resources and historical context and so on to rectify it. and for that matter why aren't we just going back in time to when the crisis happened and stopping it. i don't get what the status of time and space travel in this universe is but i don't know how there could be another half hour of this movie #monsterdon
so like we are randomly teleporting back in time to a random alien planet, spending like one day learning about its history, and the good outcome is encouraging a peaceful people to go to war? #monsterdon
i think it probably takes more preparation than looking at a map for a few minutes to prepare a pacifist society to go to war against a technologically advanced and violent mech species #monsterdon
imagine how productive this group could be if everyone wasn't constantly putting their entire bodies in locked rooms or quicksand or enchanted pools #monsterdon
quick, everyone, to the top of this matte painting! #monsterdon
i wondered how there could be 30 minutes left in the movie and it turns out the answer is "climbing this fucking mountain" #monsterdon
yeah there are events occurring, and there are some weird and goofy guys, but somehow it isn't any fun and is just tedious #monsterdon
aren't we ramping up an entire society for war right now or what is going on with that, isn't scouting an entrance just the first stage of a larger plan or what. what the fuck are the doctor and this little girl doing back here. they spent 15 minutes on this fucking sewer cave plot and they are just going to abandon it for magicing their way in. we aren't even doing anything with the entire setup of the twink society like giving them some underlying value system that might result in their pacificism and affect how they navigate the sewage tunnel and given them unlikely advantages. how do you do so little with what you spend the whole time setting up #monsterdon
12 minutes remaining and we are spending two of them convincing this guy to jump over a ravine #monsterdon
wartime production kicked in over the last 4 minutes and we are now a fully equipped and trained battallion of mirror warriors #monsterdon
WHY is this guy having so much trouble with this RAVINE #monsterdon
