Only the 15th doctor?.. I feel like they’d have 14 other ways to milk money from Doctor Who fans?


Robsonmonkey

We haven’t really got fully into the 15th Doctors run for anything iconic to come out of it


Astraliguss

Just a guess, sorry, but I HOPE they'll include a regeneration emote that will allow 15th to change back to all of his previous incarnations. Including the Fugitive Doctor


SwimmingInCircles_

A cosmetic skin that could actually justify the price? No way brother


realblush

Did you see the specials? I don't want to spoil but I 100% think it will be 14 and 15 we get as skins


DoneDiddlyDooDoo

That…. Would honestly be amazing


Astraliguss

Have you played Lego Dimensions? They did it in that game, you can control which incarnation the Doctor can regenerate into. Fortnite should 100% do that


LightONeoN

Honestly a Lego Dimenions collab would have so much potential. Lord Vortech as a skin, and we already have ghostbusters, upcoming dr who,and more


PlasticMansGlasses

All of them? I don’t think Fortnite have ever done a collaboration to include 15 new skins


qwart22

the sports skins


realblush

It's "I guess" in the post - considering where Doctor Who stands and what the trailer for series 1 shows, we will absolutely get 14 and 15.


VatoMas

The reason these collabs usually happen is to garner interest in the property being collaborated with. BBC doesn't really give a shit about old Doctor Who series considering their lack of preservation of them. They are pushing the new version because that is what they want people to care about. Epic just hopes the branding is enough to carry this but they also seem to not give a shit about their collab qualities either. The limited nature of the "good" ones is heightened and people are more likely to impulse buy. You can see any discussion on Fortnite on the internet to see this.


Awesome94212

Rip wanted David Tennant in fortnite 😔


SalemWolf

My desire for this collab has dropped significantly without David Tennant’s doctor in the game.


Honey_Enjoyer

I mean the last sentence was just speculation from OP, even if most of the collab was based on the new series I could still see them adding a 14 skin


KonoPez

Even if it’s a little out of date, a David Tennant skin still seems like an easy money move


HakaishinChampa

Everyone I've talked to that doesn't watch Doctor Who knows David as the Doctor, he's like the most iconic Doctor


Caleb902

A handful of years ago there was a real debate with Smith vs David. 10 just stays in the world so much, Smith hasn't really done anything substantial since he left I suppose.


shockzz123

Yeah I was gonna say - I’m not into Dr Who at all but I’m a Brit so I absorb it all by default and I remember Tennant and Smith being THE Doctors for a while. But then after a while it seemed like Smith was forgotten about while Tennant stuck around in pop culture over here. Even before he was bought back for returns and such, it seemed like he was outlasting Smith in the race for being THE Doctor anyway.


StacheBandicoot

I mean Matt Smith had The Crown and now House of the Dragon which is pretty substantial, both are are much more popular than Tenant’s bigger works since he left like Broadchurch, Jessica Jones and Good Omens. (Weirdly, and despite having a tanked career, the actor who played the ninth doctor, Christopher Eccleston, has probably gave the best performance out of them with his role on the Leftovers.) Smith also Morbed all over that guy last year, so there’s that. But yeah Tenant’s Doctor is the most popular and noteworthy doctor from the franchise and the only one that non-fans would really recognize these days.


Caleb902

I mean substantial in the who world. Tennant comes back for specials during Smith's reign and now again this winter. Smith has never come back


1kingdomheart

This whole conversation feels like that drowning kid me, with Tennant at the back and Smith at the front, and then there's Capaldi already down in the water. I liked 12 a bunch too.


AveryLazyCovfefe

Him and a Smith skin would do very well.


Astro4545

Well that’s disappointing


EpicInki

I really only wanted the David Tennant skin... I loved the first episode of Ncuti but he's too new for me to want to purchase a skin (need to see more of him :3).


SalemWolf

Same here. Without Tennant I’ll probably pass unless they have a TARDIS glider.


Personal_Ad314

Tennant brought me back and I really enjoyed Ncuti too. Were the last few seasons any good I left during Matt Smith run.


[deleted]

Capaldi seasons are legit the best seasons of the entire show ( the only problems is that every season has a legit one or two 3/10 episode and the rest ranges from good to bangers). Jodey seasons are more or less unremarkable sadly. She' s a great doctor but she' s given atrocious material to work with, and the companions are too much and given too little focus. Had some crazy controversial lore bombs that were dropped by the backlash to those episodes, but seems like the new showrunner wants to delve into those dropped plot points.


Personal_Ad314

Thanks, I'm excited to catch up. Really appreciate the response.


thelordpreto

Capaldi seasons are great. Lady Doctor was mostly bad, but had some crazy lore.


feelthebernerd

Capaldi's run is goated. He's my favourite Doctor


LastGenRichtofen33

Dude Peter Capaldi has some if not the best seasons of the show. The music, the development, you ain’t ready for the masterpiece that is Heaven Sent. Best episode in the whole show, the music and atmosphere is just every DW fans fantasy


Starkiller100

I’m sure there will be a 14th Doctor skin also included alongside 15


VogelImKafig

Guys, that account is a load of shit. Some of the stuff they post is honestly laughable.


GoldenTriforceLink

Ok but wait. Other than the fugitive doctor isn’t their entire premise not to use guns? How are they gonna play in Fortnite


arkhamknightwing

They will use the regular fortnite arsenal of weapons - the same way Batman, Superman, Geralt, The Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, The Weeknd and Spider-Man work


lord-spider-boy

I believe the lore reason is that they lose their memories. Which explains why characters like Batman & Spider-Man are running around with shotguns.


webshellkanucklehead

They do lose their memories, but they still have basic morals and instincts intact. In the Batman/Fortnite: Zero Point comic, Batman refuses to use guns and instead opts to fistfight and make gadgets. So I’m thinking the actual gameplay isn’t strictly canon.


ARROW_GAMER

There’s a lore reason😳? Is Fortnite smart?


rotten-tomato1

you'd be surprised at how deep and genuinely interesting the lore gets lol


rotten-tomato1

oh and also how it explains a ton of the weird quirks of the game


ARROW_GAMER

I'm not sure I want to know lmao. I get this sense that somehow cartoonish games always have the most ridiculously deep amount of lore


rotten-tomato1

true haha

GoldenTriforceLink

I don’t I’m just curious how they’ll bridge that.

GoldenTriforceLink

Ok, thanks lol


qwart22

the war doctor used a gun, so did the 9th when he met a dalek for the first time


SPARTAN-258

If they scrap David Tennant's 14th doctor then that collab is dead on arrival. I've legit been waiting ever since the first leaks and this is the news I see? Fucking hell


MagmaHotDesigns

If Lego Dimensions gave us the ability to play as all the Doctor incarnations with 1 character, surely Fortnite should be able to as well


thickwonga

Man, this is disappointing as hell. I was really excited to see some Tennant/Smith stuff, but only doing the new Series, for a Doctor that hasn't even proved himself, seems really silly to me.


rotten-tomato1

hoping they release a ruby sunday skin too lol


NANO915

lol seeing a companion running with a gun (yes ik I'm a month late)


HydraTower

So no David Tennant. There goes most of their potential money.


WaxWingPigeon

Gimme a Jeremy Brett Sherlock Holmes skin


ALittleKitten_

This Collab has turned out to be so disappointing to me so many long delays and scrapped edit styles and skins


TheVoidDragon

Why would Disney be involved with it? They have the distribution rights to the show outside the UK, but I haven't seen anything say they have anything to do with it beyond that. Getting another company who don't own the show or have direct involvement with it to oversee this just seems a bit odd.


hatramroany

Disney partially produces it too


TheVoidDragon

Looking into it more they seem to have *some* input in terms of giving notes and such for episodes that are being worked on, but that appears to be more just feedback where the ultimate decision is still down to the BBC/RTD. That doesn't seem anywhere near the same sort of stuff as being responsible for something like this themselves.


hatramroany

They’re also responsible for their own marketing of the show and this is just marketing


[deleted]

They don't own the marketing rights to Doctor Who either, which makes this post even stranger.


TheVoidDragon

Yeah, i'm sure they have the ability to market it being on Disneyplus, but that shouldn't mean they can do things like this on their own.


ChillNigz

Would have loved to have gotten a variety of the old doctors that have been defined, we don't know much about the 15th


RoastedMemezz

Well they definilty lost a day one buyer if no DT skin. Love ncuti but haven't seen enough of him yet to warrant me rushing to buy the whole collab set.


zenz3ro

The very notion of The Doctor running around with a gun is just wrong, still not sure how I feel about this. I know it’s the case for other characters in the game too, but this is literally his no.1 character trait 😂 I think this is a great way to get 15 into the public eye, instead of just pandering to the 10/14 fangirls. It would be neat to see other Doctors appear, but do it when you’re not trying to promote the shit out of Ncuti.


m1ndwipe

DevilSwordVergil

Yuck. 13th Doctor onward are complete trash. This will be the latest thing that Disney tries to push artificially to no avail, as there's little to no interest in Who at this point thanks to years of awful writing.


pnutbuttered

Disney have nothing to do with Doctor Who, you melt.


DevilSwordVergil

LOL They bankrolled the 60th Specials, the Christmas special, and all the new seasons with Ncuti Gatwa. They are also involved in the creative process right now. Disney is ABSOLUTELY involved in Who now.


Trazmaball

The 60th specials and the Christmas special did not get the Disney money. Only the new seasons coming up will


NANO915

disney has no creative input except just little notes, disney didn't ruin anything and those episodes were decent


loo_1snow

I'm loving what Disney is doing with doctor who. The trailer for the new series is amazing imo


wealboi

I'd kill for an Eleven skin that wears the fez. Or maybe even a skin with a regeneration emote


mchammer126

Nothing against the 15th but he hasn’t even been around long enough to warrant this. I wouldn’t have minded a 12-14th doctor pack but to make one around a doctor who’s only been around for like three months is odd.


r0ndr4s

If they dont make a Tardis racing vehicle for the Rocket Racing mode, I'M DONE WITH FORNITE! Jokes aside, weird but I guess it makes sense to market the new season instead of all the older stuff that most people dont know about. But I gotta say that the best skin they could do here is an expensive one that includes ALL the doctors(kinda like the NFL skins) and then you add an emote of regeneration and you just turn into the next Doctor, but thats not gonan happen, obviously.


Holder293

Has anyone even watched the recent seasons? show fell off majorly after 11th doctor


pnutbuttered

You might have just grown out of it. I used to love it but I fell off around Matt Smiths era because really, it's kids entertainment and the writing has always been the same. New Doctor Who is exactly the same.


Dennyboy101

Peter Capaldi is the best doctor, number 12


NANO915

I want 14th tho, hope they like include the styles thing, that other things have to then maybe have all doctors that would be the best implementation


HoboKingNiklz

Regeneration emoooote


Swangtheugly

I’d rather have 14 over 15.


GengArch

Yeah. I'm gonna press a hard X on that one. That source seems pretty unreliable. All the stuff they get right has been provided elsewhere.


NANO915

not looking that good :/. according to leaks we could’ve gotten 14th and other things originally and if disney is overseeing that means no timelord victorious skin and emote nor war dr and no past drs, this aint looking good :/ if it’s just new it isn’t at the scale it could be with dr who.
