What other changes did 13 bring to the show?

In particular - a female Doctor, a black Doctor, a more concerted effort to bring in non-white actors (though still not amazing), etc. The kind of stuff Internet edgelords latch onto and make an issue out of. Again, not wanting to imply that’s what you’re doing. It’s just impossible to ignore for me regarding the overwhelming criticism of that run, which I generally enjoyed.

Back to the writing, though. I don’t think any of what you brought up makes it awful or terrible. With the “it’s just x from y” critique, all kinds of stories re-use ideas or slap a different name on them. I just see that as how storytelling works. There’s not an infinite amount of ways to illustrate everything, so there’s pretty much always going to be apparent connections to prior media we’ve seen. I don’t think that makes it bad, just not amazingly innovative.

And in regards to the backstory reveals, I don’t really see the character as an “immortal god” anymore than I did before. Immortal ≠ all-powerful, and for all we know, they’re just part of some other alien race that’s no more (or maybe even less) powerful than Timelords at the height of their power. We just don’t know, so it seems a bit premature to jump to “immortal god” when nothing has substantially changed other than some lore. At least in nuWho, The Doctor has always been just-shy of infallible already. Unless they start giving the character comic-book style super powers, I don’t really mind it.
