The annoying thing is it was the best scene in MoM, but done worse :p Space Babies was brilliant though I thought. Also it's kinda funny how this community has now just basically become partially about Doctor Who XD though honestly we can talk about whatever in Daily Discussion that's the point

That being said, Maestro is good, and the acting was great; the story just didn't quite hit for me.

My 6 year old, not bothered about snot monsters, but is now terrified of being attacked by musical notation...

Gotta admit, I'm not sold on this iteration of the doctor yet, but I was the same with all the new Who's aside from Peter Capaldi. But I loved him as Malcolm Tucker beforehand.

Tbh they should've done the music differently, just using notation in the same way as MoM felt almost lazy in a way?

Yknow what would've been cool: if it worked like sonic waves instead — then you could have more interaction with the new totally-still-a-screwdriver.

I mean they're still working with a budget, D+ involvement means more but probably not a huge difference. Plus Who is known for their terrible fx lol

Surely wavey circular lines are cheaper than CGI notes XD

[–] MHPengwingz@lemmy.world 2 points 4 months ago

Either way it's poorly executed lol

And maybe it's cuz I'm jumping between Matt Smith and Ncuti, but the effects feel very excessive. It's not dingy enough for Doctor Who, you know what I mean?

Oh no Maestro was good, but I agree with my friend, all we could think about was Hocus Pocus

Space Babies was ruined by that constant Disney soundtrack in the background, killing the dialogue and sound effects a lot of the time.

that's just Doctor Who though, at least given what i've watched of the first few seasons lmfao
