Even the "how long do X live?" thing from Rogue was a callback to Pyramids of Mars

[magicman]

The bit about how The Beast survived before time began could have to do with something from a SJA episode when Luke postulated that another universe existed before the current one where Magic and beings like The Beast existed and were able to do immense and impossible things in relation to the current universe’s standards and laws.

Nah... My guy didn't mention "Mara the God of Beasts" The disrespect is real, lol!

[rare]

The Mara, Fenric and Omega: "Are we a joke to you, official Doctor Who youtube channel?"

[JeremyDuncan]

I am gonna be honest; I knew everything this video said already i just enjoy hearing Tyrell say it. 😅

[DoctorWhoHugh]

One could argue that Time from Flux is a god. It even had disciples/heralds in Swarm and Azure who believed in their "faith" of death and chaos.

[rami_ungar_writer]

I would like to see The Beast make a return someday. He was a terrifying enemy.
Also, I got the sense that the Pantheon that the Toymaster and Maestro were part of were actual gods, beings from outside time and space able to change reality. Sutekh as shown in Pyramid of Mars was long lived and godlike, but still a mortal being of flesh and bone born on a planet in the universe. How did he end up as part of the Pantheon, let alone "the mother and father and other of them all?" Did dying in the time corridor cause their spirit to undergo a shift and put them outside reality, where they became a true god? Or was the one we saw in Pyramid of Mars merely an avatar of the real Sutekh, who existed beyond time and space?
I hope we get that answered in Empire of Death.

How I wish they brought Trixter back for at least one episode of DW. He gave me so many nightmares when I was a child

[alexanderpronyakin]

Maybe Sutekh was trapped in the corridor of eternity and ended up outside the universe, in nowhere (where wild blue yonder took place)? He could have created The Toymaker and other guys from Pantheon there out of no-things there just for his own amusement, and later on they left him and started travel on their own? So Sutekh was really born in the Universe, but ended up creating the Pantheon outside of it?

[stephenmurphy]

It’s to see why the Toymaker was afraid of Sutekh. He’s a dangerous being.

So excited to see the Trickster on here!

[eh]

I know people are confused with Sutekh originally being an Osiran, but here is my theory.

The pantheon of discord that the doctor names in the Sarah Jane Adventures and in The Devils Chord isn’t a established pantheon but a collection of gods that have come together due to their habit of causing chaos in the universe. Some exist outside the universe like the Toymaker and his legion. Some mess with the universe and its inhabitants like Zelin in ‘Can you hear me’.

With Sutekh, it could be that he is the god of death amongst the Osirans but since killing all of his kind and being trapped, has become the head of this pantheon. Or, if he wasn’t a god before, he has ascended to god-hood.

This means that the new season doesn’t retcon Sutekh, he simply became a part of this new pantheon.

[ronniedodge]

I think sutekh jumped on the tardis in wild blue yonder thats when she starting groaning

[krighart]

The Black Guardian scares the hell out of me as a kid!

[WiloPolis]

This is all very well represented and put together, thank you WhoTube channel

[tableprinterdoor]

Glad to see these still being uploaded, I love Doctor Who lore so much

[naruto]

At this point, if we don't see all the gods Harriet mentioned except for the toymaker and maestro because we already saw them

[drayodev]

I don't know how I missed that hint from the Toy maker. Interesting to see how early it was hinted at I wonder if there are more hints through out the 60th specials?

[stephenmurphy]

Either Ruby is the daughter of Sutekh or someone who is probably the key to defeating Sutekh.

[kamsel]

I bloody love this show so much ❤❤! 60+ years of history, not afraid to show less successful effects from the past. This also shows everyone that Mythology used to be part of Doctor Who, and not just the final season.
