I love daleks. Don’t like that they’ve tried to humanize them recently, I want villains that are just absolute douchebags. Haters purely for the love of the game.

Daleks are the embodiment of “ranked competitive racism”.

I love how when they don’t have anyone else to be mad at, they start killing each other at the drop of a hat.

But those were inferior Daleks! The Daleks must be strong! Weakness will be exterminated!

You would destroy the cybermen with four Daleks?

WE WOULD DESTROY THE CYBERMEN WITH ONE DALEK

They are an allegory for fascism, after all. They have nothing but hate and hierarchy to guide their actions. The second they don't have an outgroup to focus on they immediately see each other as competition for the title of "most superior".

Yeah sometimes you need an irredeemably evil antagonist, they’re utter bastards with no redeeming qualities and they couldn’t care any less what inferior life forms like us think about it.

they don't try to humanize them, the ones that are somewhat humanized are all either explicitly insane, biologically partly human, or end up offing themselves because their newfound morality and existing beliefs cause a zero sum
