Doctor Who’s Latest Classic Colorization Made Some Wild Additions
The latest colorization of classic Doctor Who episodes has raised some eyebrows in the Whovian community. The project, which aimed to give the iconic series a modernized look, has made some bold and unexpected changes that have fans both excited and concerned.
According to sources close to the production, the team behind the restoration had initially intended to make minor adjustments to the original footage, subtly enhancing the colors and brightness of the scenes. However, as they delved deeper into the project, they began to experiment with more drastic measures.
Some of the changes include:
* Adding vibrant colors to previously black-and-white scenes
* Enhancing and brightening specific characters’ facial expressions to make them more detailed
* Creating entirely new visual effects that weren’t present in the original episodes
These alterations have sparked debate among fans, with some praising the fresh perspective on the classic series while others argue that the changes compromise the integrity of the original material.
Steven Moffat, former showrunner and writer of several Doctor Who episodes, has weighed in on the controversy. In a recent statement, he expressed his reservations about the project’s direction:
“It’s a piece of our history now. Our very recent history; it’s defined us.”
The exact extent of these changes remains unclear, as the restoration is still pending release. Fans are eagerly awaiting further information and a chance to judge the altered episodes for themselves.
