It's about injecting a new belief system into our culture. They did the same
with Ghost Busters, Terminator, James Bond, Men in Black ,etc... all the woke
movies ended up bombing on release and then the directors/writers and producers
blamed the fans. I am aware of the Dr Who retcon on his origins and it's
appalling. They should remove the last couple of seasons and make them "just a
dream" to being back 90% of the fans who have ditched the show.
