4. The Eighth Doctor film

Ill wait for you to stop groaning. It had to appear somewhere. Instead of a hastily put together attempt at a US TV Pilot for an old British show, something where the plot isnt paper-thin and completely forgettable. Something where the Seventh Doctor gets the sendoff he deserves, as opposed to being gunned down in a back alley and operated on by some chick in a ballgown. A slightly less nonsensical introduction for the Eighth Doctor who bursts out of the morgue (good) whilst the guard watches Frankenstein (alright) in nothing but a sheet (Im good with that) and then finds himself in a random hall of mirrors in a hospital, screaming WHO AM I? Unless the 50th completely undoes this, and would probably lead to the Doctor Who fandom rising up and declaring war on Steven Moffat, it is widely believed that the Eighth Doctor was the regeneration that played a key role in the Time War. How can they not make a film version of that? Obviously it wouldnt hew as close to the 1996 episode, compressing the regeneration and character establishment into the first act. It would hopefully completely change the Master subplot, perhaps also covering the Masters descent into fear and how he eventually flees Gallifrey as the Time Lords become too violent and bloodthirsty. It would work nicely in parallel with the Eighth Doctors descent from a hopeful, almost naïve character into a soldier capable of destroying his own planet.
