Also not every doctor who villain was a direct giveaway, some seasons make it more obvious than others
Going with RTD (because this is the writer, we canāt use other peopleās bad writing to justify this):
- Daleks were signposted because they were literally in the series earlier
- Cybermen were signposted because they were literally in the series earlier
- The Master had all kinds of hints and callbacks that you can now see if you look back, plus it was 100% in character for him to disguise himself as the PM
- Then itās The Daleks again with Davros, obvious
- The Time Lords were a Big Bad that had been signposted since the Doctor first talked about the Time War.
- As we said earlier, Sutekh has been signposted loads
The Rani though? Tell me exactly the qualities that Mrs Flood shares with The Rani?
Have you seen any proof itās actually him?
If I wanted to get my rumours spread around more, yes, Iād be more inclined to post them under someoneās name thatās attached to the brand too. Until thereās a shred of proof thatās actually him, it means nothing.
Also, what are the leakerās motivations for leaking? He has said several times that he dislikes the show. Heās clearly trying to stoke up anger/fear about the show. Heās just a hater.
One her literal reaction to the doctor last week, the minute he showed up she wanted to not be spotted, plus the first time Mrs flood shows up she puts on a grumpy attitude thatās more the Ranis thing but when the doctor shows up with the TARDIS she starts putting on a nice act like immediately trying to hide herself away, the fact she can swap location easily and the fact her house door is literally painted and shaped like the doctors TARDIS door
I believe that even if the leaker actually knows something, it is not Andrew Evans. It feels really strange to do it as YouTube comments under your own name. That would only hurt him.
Nah Iām not seeing it.
I do believe that the leaked actress could be the Rani.
But not Mrs Flood. Makes no sense to me.
These are huge stretches and leaps of logic.
Yes @Tian has a point, if heās actually the same guy, heād do it more officially. On Twitter under his own name or something.
Leaking stuff like this risks his future career. Who would trust him to work on their magazine in the future if he goes around leaking stuff??
And why has he even seen it? He doesnāt still work there does he? How has he seen the finale??
Iāve seen leaks back when things were on resetera and 4chan that heavily turned out correct, I know for a fact twitter isnāt the only place leakers go to
But tell me why he would risk his future career using his own name?
For the record, Iām not against the idea that Mrs Flood is the Rani. Iād probably smile like a lunatic because of the audacity of it. But right now, as Shauny has said, I just donāt see it. And I donāt just blindly trust some random leak in a YouTube comment. Iāve been around too many years and seen too many āleaksā and ārumoursā to know never to trust 100%.
Nobody said Twitter is the only place leakers go. Iāve seen stuff leaked on 4chan, Reddit, Gallifrey Base, etc. Nobody is denying what youāre suggesting. But you seem to just blindly believe these all because someone used a name which has associations with the brand, which is also an unverified account.
I used to follow Nintendo leakers for a while, and there are a lot of them (most of them fake), and none of them use their real name because that only hurts them.
This is a fun video about how easy it is to become a leaker.
I didnāt believe it 100% either but with how episode 1 went and the rest of the leaks have gone and seems to have turned out to be true so far thatās what Iām lead to believe, plus we havenāt exactly seen Mrs floods true nature yet except itās hinted at through her switch from innocent lady to grumpy and evil so itās too early to know if she is or isnāt yet but itās what I currently believe until further evidence sheās not
OK so if itās the Rani, why was she living next to Ruby, why didnāt she recognise the TARDIS when she saw it (and it wasnāt just for show, she was alone when she saw it dematerialise and she dropped her shopping), why was she nice to the Doctor when she talked to him, why was she saying weird religious things to Cherry, why is she now living next to Belinda (she didnāt just teleport there, Belinda recognised her, so she has lived there a while) none of this seems to make sense if itās the Rani.
Because being nice doesnāt always mean sheās actually honest about it like why would she give herself away, plus rtd already mentioned sheās a villain, also the series has previously hinted at Rani subconsciously throughout the meeps boss being interested in two hearts, space babies and villengard. Especially villengard due to the unethical nature of the experiments and the one thing thatās never made clear is whoās in charge of villengard
I believe Rani could be the boss of Villengard, and the Meep and Rogue etc.
Just donāt see that itās Mrs Flood.
Agree to disagree! We will find out in a few weeks.
