Part 4/7:
Perhaps the most upsetting aspect for longtime fans was the treatment of the Doctor himself—particularly the transition from the previous male Doctors to the recent female incarnation. Many saw this shift as a pandering move rather than a natural evolution of the character. One of the clips circulating online showed a dismissive, almost mocking dialogue where the Doctor, now portrayed as a woman, was told she no longer "understood" her identity or power.
This scene—featuring a character mockingly stating, "you're not a woman anymore"—highlighted the frustration many felt, perceiving it as a disrespectful denigration of the Doctor's character and history. It seemed to many like an attempt to force social commentary into the narrative, rather than respecting the franchise’s legacy.
