Doctor Who: Series 13 Trailer Breakdown - 20 Things You Must See
16. A Brand-New Alien Gets Dusted
Looks like the consequences of Thanos' snap were more far-reaching than we thought, as this poor chap appears to be getting "dusted" just like the Avengers at the end of Infinity War. He clearly doesn't feel so good.
Joking aside... is this shot a spoiler? We actually see this alien (or at least, an alien that looks incredibly similar) later in the trailer, where he seems to be alive and well.
We're leaning towards no, it isn't a spoiler. As inept as Doctor Who's marketing team has been recently, we doubt they'd be careless enough to spoil the death of a truly important character. It's also possible that this shot is a fakeout death, and heck, there's a chance that it isn't a death at all. It could easily be a teleportation - remember when Rose got blasted by Anne-Droid in Bad Wolf?
Either way, the special effects here look terrific, which is something we'll be saying a lot throughout this breakdown.
