Why do people hate martha jones

Martha acted as if the Doctor was just a regular bloke and that her traveling with him was a pseudo relationship instead of this amazing alien giving her the opportunity of a lifetime. Most people who hate Martha are being annoyed by her feelings for the doctor… Well Rose, 19, who was indeed there first, fell in love with a man who appeared to be old enough to be her father Christopher Eccleston being 19 years older than Billie Piper.

Not to mention that the Doctor is actually what, years old when they meet? Rose never got over it, Martha did. I liked Rose in the beginning, mostly for her ingenuousness. I liked Martha, who was a smart kick-ass grown woman.. I absolutely loved Donna my favourite companion , witty and so strong-willed. As for Clara I have mixed feelings about her. She had a very strange narrative with Matt Smith, but she formed an iconic duo with Peter Capaldi.

Sorry I digressed. In many ways Martha was my favorite. I loved Rose and appreciated most of Donna. Some of my favorite episodes are with Martha. I like each of them in their own way for what they bring. I am talking about Ten here. From Amy Pond on, eleven, it seems the companions always controlled the doctor. Though, I like many of those episodes, sometimes the later seasons soured on me due to the companions being in control.

Oh, and Danny Pink. But I fell in love with Martha Jones, more than any other companion including including Doctor Song if you count her as a companion. Martha was just too darn good to be a companion.

What do I mean by casual racism? Casual racism is, however, less noticed, and thus, more insidious. In a discussion with blogger K. Tempest Bradford, scriptwriter Paul Cornell said that women and women of color were indeed becoming doctors in Other bloggers then took up arms to claim that if so, the statement was inconceivably racist of Joan, a character who the Doctor loved and who must therefore be a good person. The problem is, Joan lived in a culture where overt racist comments, such as the one made by schoolboy Jeremy Baines to Martha earlier in the episode, were most likely quite common.

Even if women of color were becoming doctors in , society as a whole might not have approved of them, and that disapproving attitude would have fed into the culture and acceptable statements of the time. She was most likely being casually racist without realizing it. Throughout the episode, he feeds Martha a series of increasingly sappy lines to try and get Martha to like him, and it seems like Martha is flattered by the attention.

Why is a subordinate caretaker role the only role acceptable for a black woman? The famous Martha Jones. But I think that dismissing Martha due to romantic complications or bad scripts discounts the overall impact of finally having a person of color as a major companion. Series 3 of Doctor Who depicted a depressingly accurate view of the world—a world in which people of color are tolerated, but not fully accepted.

I am good. Wow, I completely missed the racism revolving around this character. I must not have been paying very close attention as I inhaled the episodes as fast as possible. Thanks for reading! I did like Rose still have not finished Martha arc yet but the more I have watch Martha the more like lean toward her character.

She was also quicker to be independent than Rose was. As for Donna, I know she rates highly with most surveys I have seen but she is my least favorite character period in Doctor Who old and new not just least favorite companion.

Even the really bad old ones at least were ignore-able Donna just grates my nerves in every episode I have watched with her. I was pretty annoyed at how Martha was written. I mean so love sick over Dr. Is David Tennant really sexy? But I liked him as Dr. Who and I love him in Jessica Jones. I found Matt Smith charming, refreshing. Peter is growing on me. Donna was beyond annoying.

My least favourite. Rory is my favourite companion. Riversong is also an awesome character. So the only thing I saw in Martha was that girl, in love with the doctor and trying to be better rose was.

I'm really glad I changed my mind, bc that's not fair and I like Martha now. Martha is not my favorite companion mostly because I think we didn't get enough with her to love her. But I think it's stupid that people actually hate her. Everyone was used to Rose. Maybe 2 seasons with her, we could of gotten used to her. She was a good companion, but I just didn't like her because I loved Rose a lot.
