Some thoughts on the just-released Doctor Who teaser: the Thirteenth Doctor appears to be a bit of a super-charged Manic Pixie Dream Girl. No doubt some will criticize her on these grounds. However, we should remember that the Doctor has been a bit of a super-charged MPDG since her second incarnation (and perhaps never more so than in her fourth incarnation, when she was a 6’4" man).
Also she’s a non-binary alien, so really she’s a MPDNB. And you can pry her from my cold dead hands.
[id: “Doctor Who show runner Chris Chibnall described the 13th Doctor as ‘warm’, ‘inclusive’ and ‘energetic’, while Jodie’s co-star Mandip Gill- who plays companion Yasmin- compares her performance to another notable Doctor.”

“‘She has a similar energy to Matt Smith’s Doctor,’ Gill explained. ‘Very high energy. Jodie has that about her Doctor.’”
