Doctor Who, Moffat, opinion
One of the major gripes I have with Moffat's writing of Doctor Who (approx. 2010–2017) is that the Doctor is portrayed as being the most important person in the universe.
The speech from "The Pandorica Opens" ( https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Pa74e8oAvIM ) is the doctor talking about how special he is.
Then there's the question ( https://youtu.be/lGDC0n89nhA?t=1m39s ). "The oldest question in the universe, and the one that must never be answered".... is "Doctor Who?"

And then there's the interstellar organisation dedicated to killing The Doctor.
Over and over again, Moffat makes the Doctor this mythical figure, that can never be defeated. And it takes all the fun and adventure out of it – I don't want an ultra-important person, I want to see a Doctor who goes on adventures, who follows where whimsy takes them, and who ends up saving people in distress.
But Moffat treats The Doctor as though they're a God.

@lizardsquid tbh? And it’s why I got bored of Sherlock too.
To be blunt Moffat kinda gets a bit...up his own arse with the way he writes characters.
I know the term Mary Sue...isn’t a great one, but it does encapsulate how I feel he writes the Doctor—everything bends to make him look good and powerful and it’s really. Really. Boring.
