Ok I mean absolutely no offence to anyone but;
All the people saying that making Susan a villain would be a bold move - have you SEEN the classic series??? This autistic teenage girl has more feral energy than any other companion except perhaps Leela and was TERRIFYING when she wanted to be. She tried to stab Ian and Barbara. She fucked up a bunch of cavemen and put a human skull on a flaming torch for comedic effect.
Not to MENTION the amount of trauma that girl has. Time War? Losing her entire family twice/three times?? (Because she'd have outlived her human family on Earth. The third family is Team TARDIS btw). Abandonment issues??? It's not a huge leap to assume that something traumatic happened on Gallifrey, given how she acts. She's also related to the Timeless Child - god knows how many times she's regenerated - for all we know, she discovered a long time ago that she is incapable of dying, and she has no idea why. Couple that with violent tendencies and an extreme talent for telepathy (even the Doctor was surprised by how strong her abilities were) and you've got an extremely messed up character.
Make Susan the villain! Show kids that if life fucks you up, sometimes you fuck up too, and that doesn't mean you're unworthy of love! Have her commit atrocities to try and get the Doctor to come back to her! Let her fuck shit up!
#doctor who#classic who#classic doctor who#susan foreman#15th doctor#the one who waits#Yeah I still stand by that#Susan being The One Who Waits would be WAY more hard-hitting than Sutekh#Waiting for the Doctor to come back and he never did#Anyway Susan is psychologically fascinating as a character let her do bad things let her fuck shit up let her be insane!!!!#And then at the end of the episode have the Doctor talk her down have him love her anyway have him hug her and tell her that it's ok#he's here now#and I will sob my eyes out!!!!!! In a good way!!!!!!!!!#Yes I have severe psychological issues what's your point
