I understand that some people are rightfully angry about the casting choice. However, I think it was time to shake things up a bit. I have always seen the main lead as a male in Doctor Who but that is about to change. Many people don’t agree with it, but it has already happened.
I get that for some it will be hard for some people to part from tradition. However, there have been many positive reactions on twitter. Also, Jodie Whittaker will be kick-ass in the role.
Oh great a female Doctor Who. What next? Female real doctors? Female pilots? Female scientists? Female sisters and mothers? Female WOMEN?!

Her first adventure is politely correcting everyone who calls her "Nurse Who."

Your dad thinks Dr Who being a woman spoils the realism of someone travelling space & time in a phonebox fighting bins with plungers on them

First, they came for the Ghostbusters, and I said nothing. Then, they came for Dr. Who, and I said nothing. Because I'm a sane, adult human.

Women are slowly but surely going to helm all the major sci fi franchises. First Star Wars, then Star Trek, now Doctor Who. pic.twitter.com/e3d5xynRcR

Interesting how the Doctor Who casting announcement reflects real life issues such as time travel, as most comments about it date from 1534.

When I was a kid watching Doctor Who, I'd have considered this a betrayal of the show, because I was a child & my brain wasn't fully formed. https://t.co/v0csqOF9sm

What do you think of the casting choice? Do you think a woman will ruin the show, like many others? Or are you pretty content with seeing a female lead? Comment on below and tell us your unfiltered thoughts.
