I don’t think the cybermen have really been done justice on screen since the 60s - cold logic and animated bags of meat are just so creepy

Imagine if kroton appeared in a big finish story. It would be fantastic

Would have worked perfectly in A Company Of Friends, which took companions of 8's from various media sources and added one that Big Finish then went and made a companion. Would be great to get more releases for 8 like that, just exploring companions from alternate media.

I'd love to see a completely random cameo in the TV series, like imagine the doctor and croton walking past each other in a hallway on some far off planet, giving each other a friendly nod, and just letting that speak for itself 😊

Kroton vs Ashad the battle to either save The cybermen or Humanity, I hope that RTD canonises Kroton one day, even Abslom Daak!

The Chosen Chimp 3.16K subscribers I have indeed heard of Kroton, even read about him on the official Doctor Who wikia, I have also read his comics that use to appear as motion comic animated videos on BeepTheMeep's youtube channel that is.... until.... it was sadly taken down by KZfaq itself due to stupid copyright claims. Kroton himself has since become one of the most iconic reoccurring Cybermen characters to appear more than once in the Doctor Who franchise, and he has since slowly gained popularity, as well as becoming a fan favorite among Doctor Who fans who are familiar with him.

i love how on kroton you sen see emotion in the faceplate, in the eyes, in the stylized shading and physical movements of the character.

Thank you so much for doing a big deep dive into Kroton! The character finally gets the recognition he deserves! Thank you! I enjoyed this video immensely and hearing your thoughts on this underrated cyberman with a soul.

@14:00 Throwback was reprinted in color in the US Marvel series. Throwback was in issues 2 & 3, Ship of Fools in issue 14. The first two issues' main story is Star Beast. I used to have the entire run plus the four Marvel Premiere issues, but I loaned them to a friend who up losing them.

I still recall one of the first Doctor Who comics I ever read was one of Kroton's stories, and it hit home so well as the Cybermen are my favorite of the monsters. I only just got a copy of the Glorious Dead and have not made the time to read it yet, and I think this is my sign to do so! Thank you Chimp as always!

With all the talk of Spin Off I could see the Cyber Brig from Death in Heaven becoming a similar character. Cross between Iron Man an Robocop.

I remember these from the 80s. This makes me happy😊 They were in black and white.

@TheChosenChimp The strips were colorised when Marvel reprinted Doctor Who strips in USA back in circa 1985. MARVEL PREMIERE #57 was the 1st US Appearance of DOCTOR WHO in Marvel Comics.

Absolutely phenomenal video. I love your in depth looks at the expanded universe. So we’ll edited too. I love this character who I hadn’t heard of before. But I do think it’s best to keep him in the comics. I have a feeling a tv episode wouldn’t do him justice.

Thanks. I hadn't read any Kroton stories since Ship of Fools way back in the day. I need to catch up.

Great video. You explored something I’ve long been vaguely interested in and made it essential for me to obtain 😁 nice scenery-midlands? Anything DW comics-wise is always appreciated. Keep it up, good sir 👍

while I do like how his story ends I do wish we got more sad morality plays from kroton each one we see influencing his future self Because as it stands it still feels bit sudden.

i feel like the more human kroton got, the less unique and interesting he got

Fantastic video I read Krotons first story with 8 via beep the meeps channel and I found him a great character, I am really looking forward to your dalek videos and I was wondering if u will look at them in the same way as the cybermen stories looking into the expanded media around them (especially for the daleks as they are vvveeerrryyyh interesting)

That's my hope, though with Daleks and expanded media, it's a whole different ball game.😶😶😶🐵

When will you do the Cyber Nomads? You might gain some more information on them from the new 8th doctor Audio Drama as it shows Voga & is during the cyberwars. Also my favourite Cybermen are the ones that appear in the story Earth shock at least the design.

Don't worry he will get to it, Cyber-History is vast and complex.

@@badwolf66 Yeah I am guessing if he had done any of it he probably would have to reference the audio drama. I am going to listen to it soon I have it downloaded but I am watching other audio dramas before.

Hi there. Nomads are on my list. I have a Planet 14 expanded video next up, and then it's all systems go with Patreon requests, 60th Anniversary coverage, and Doctor Who and The Daleks video. Revenge of the Cybermen will be the next stop for my cluster of Cyberman vids, but you might not see it until late winter 2024. Hope you stick around for it, and thanks for all the kind comments.🙂🐵

The Kroton stories were colourised for the American Marvel Comics Doctor Who reprint title, published from 1984-1986.

omg the big ultimate cyberman comic collection is amazing... i assumed cybermen would be so much better than daleks in comic form coz conceptually there's so much to delve into... i loved it so much that I bought the dalek one too and the dalek one SUCKED.
