doc Who has had a major substance running this season and throughout the series ' chronicle : gods are evil and must be fight and defeated .
There ’s a long - run arc in the current two season ofDoctor Who , and that is that the god have declare war on the hero ( Ncuti Gatwa ) . ShowrunnerRussell T. Daviesset it up in the 60th day of remembrance particular " Wild Blue Yonder , " where the Doctor blurred the line of descent between realness and opened the door for God to move into the universe . That enabled The Toymaker ( Neil Patrick Harris ) , the god of game , to return to the universe to have a rematch with the Doctor since their first story from the sixties , " The Celestial Toymaker " . The serial has one major theme and message : gods are evil . They need to take from everyone and kill them for fun . They ca n’t be trusted . They must be put down .
When the Doctor defeat the Toymaker in " The Giggle " , he warned that his legion were come . The first to challenge the Doctor was Maestro ( Jinxx Monsoon ) , the Toymaker ’s fry and the divinity of music . The first season ’s big forged was Sutekh , another old foeman and the divinity of death , who kill everyone in the world until the Doctor toss off him to restore life to the universe . In time of year two , Lux , the god of light , take the eubstance of toon character Mr. Ring - a - Ding ( Alan Cumming ) to slip the Doctor ’s bigeneration DOE to build himself a veridical torso . More immortal will be coming to challenge the Doctor in season two . Mrs. Flood might be one of the gods or connected to them .
There are no nice or secure gods inDoctor Who , ever . They ’re all malefic . Even in the honest-to-god show , whenever the gods showed up , they were evil . The Black Guardian in theTom BakerandPeter Davisonyears was pretty much a immortal that the Doctor was running from . The last time they did it was in the eighties with theSylvester McCoystory " The Greatest Show in the Galaxy , " where they were the gods of Ragnarok who ask to be entertained until the Doctor destroy them . In " Curse of Fenric " , Fenric was pretty much a god , considering he ’s all - powerful and had been dueling with the Doctor since the beginning of Time . And even then , when Ace ( Sophie Aldred ) asked him who he really was and he would n’t answer , the writers hinted that he was a god , not just any Time Lord . This was always part of the show ’s traditional knowledge . It ’s openly anti - office . There are no good God .
The Gods are Symbols of The Elite
Doctor Whohas always had an anti - tyrannic subject matter . the great unwashed are often taught to rely the gods as if they ’re authority figures , but the serial has always gone against it . The gods do n’t play endowment or aid people . They only tap and destruct . The Time Lords were portrayed as god - like and ultimately exposed as complacent and corrupt . The Doctor always fought them . But where ’s the Doctor ’s place in this ? The Doctor is also a god , but one who chooses to help rather than bruise . Humphrey Davy was the one who called the Doctor " the lonely god " back in the first revival , so the series under Davies has always been a modern parable , the path stories about the gods are . deity be human foibles and flaw rather than ideals of perfection . Thus , the immortal in the serial are the elite group , the rules , the oligarch , the despot , who need to be get the better of , as it ’s an anti - fascistic message . ForDoctor Who , atheism is Resistance .
