21	->''"''Survival'' is, like ''[[Recap/DoctorWhoS26E1Battlefield Battlefield]]'', a clear attempt to rehabilitate a classic ''Doctor Who'' concept. It's a show that takes a classic bit of the mythos, blows the dust off and tries to figure out how that concept can work in the [[TheEighties late eighties]]. In ''Battlefield'', it was U.N.I.T. In ''Survival'', it was the Master... It understands that the Master is driven by some [[ForTheEvulz ill-defined greed and lust for power]], which is hardly the most nuanced of motivations, but it makes more sense than anything in ''[[Recap/DoctorWhoS20E6TheKingsDemons The King's Demons]]'' or ''[[Recap/DoctorWhoS19E7TimeFlight Time-Flight]]''. Interestingly, this allows the show to position the Master as the logical end-point of [[TheSocialDarwinist Social Darwinism]]. He's a character who does all these horrible things simply because he can and very few people have the power to stop him. He's 'might makes right' writ large. ''Survival'' draws attention to how [[StupidEvil crazy and stupid]] the Master's schemes typically are, and the character's pathological inability to quit while he’s winning, but frames them all as part of a distinctly eighties sense of entitlement."''

24	->''"When ''[=McCoy=]'' himself comes on board, he's presented as a relic of {{the sixties}}. He looks like he has been living in a hippy commune. [[NewAgeRetroHippie He's grown a great big bushy beard]] and [[DiscoDan is even wearing a medallion under his open shirt]]. [=McCoy=], it seems, has fully embraced counter-culture in his time away from the ship, becoming a left-over piece of the sixties ''[[Series/StarTrekTheOriginalSeries Star Trek]]'' in need of an update. When Jim explains the situation to Bones, [=McCoy=] [[ContemplateOurNavels gets all existential on him]], "Why is any object we don't understand always called a 'thing'?"\
25	He's less than happy to be working for Starfleet, the establishment, again. "They drafted me," he tells Jim, calling to mind the infamous [[UsefulNotes/TheVietnamWar Vietnam draft]], which had ended four years after the show, but six years before the film. [=McCoy=] is introduced as outdated, and out-of-touch -- perhaps reflecting the franchise itself. However, we're assured that this retro vibe is purely cosmetic. Soon enough he's in uniform, his beard is shaved and his medallion is gone. Like the franchise itself, he only needed to clean up a little bit."''

28	->''"I mentioned in an earlier review that I've always had a massive issue with the way that the Lois and Clark romance usually plays out. Clark keeps his secret for years, blatantly lies to Lois' face on numerous occasions, finally deigns to tell her the truth after every other person on the planet already knows and, instead of stabbing him in the eye with a Kryptonite ice pick, [[EasilyForgiven Lois marries him]]. Here, the [[GambitPileup double deception]] is wonderfully goofy and takes away most of the pain of watching a supremely moral character deceive someone he's apparently in love with."''

31	->''"He does almost everything a bad author would do, and somehow makes it ''work''. He makes [[Webcomic/{{Homestuck}} a story]] full of {{Mary Sue}}s. He works in numerous inexplicable {{time paradox}}es. He makes a comic with incredibly shitty words and art ([[Webcomic/SweetBroAndHellaJeff SBaHJ]]). ''All'' of these are things most authors would immediately discard as stupid. But because of both [[GodzillaThreshold the scale of the situation]] the characters are placed within, it ''works''. The character's sue like traits and abilities get them through non important bits, but fail them when they need them most. The paradoxes are explained via a Universe space that allows them to be such. [=SBaHJ=] is hailed as hilarious by being so ''[[StylisticSuck intentionally]]'' awful. Hussie thought outside the box by doing idiotic things that he managed to make incredible, not to mention near unprecedented."''

34	->''"At a time when the only way [[ShonenDemographic shōnen]] battle series would get noticed would be by adding a darker twist to it or subverting the tropes in a clever way or by being ''[[Manga/JoJosBizarreAdventure JoJo's]]'', it was nice to see a shōnen that just went back to its roots and doing it really fucking well. ''[[Manga/MyHeroAcademia Boku no Hero Academia]]'' was nothing more than a celebration of the tropes you've seen many times before, but refined to a T, demonstrating to us that you don't always need to do something overly original or off-the-cuff if you just get the basics absolutely right."''

37	->''"People at the time were saying "There's no point doing superheroes any more, because [[ComicBook/{{Watchmen}} this]] has effectively destroyed them, and it's exposed them to the light of reason and they can no longer operate", but I think as symbolic ideas they remain useful, and we should try to treat them not as anything that could ever possibly be real, but as fiction and as fantasy that is designed to tell us things about ourselves."''
