O que aconteceu com os Paradigm Daleks multicoloridos?

Resposta fora do universo

Os Novos Daleks do Paradigm foram descartados após uma reação dos fãs que achavam que eles eram estúpidos e uma tentativa flagrante de mercadoria para crianças pequenas. Eles foram referidos em várias ocasiões na mídia como sendo uma reminiscência do Power Rangers, TellyTubbies ou M & M's

“Well I suppose if I'm completely honest - and it's all my fault, no one else's fault - I don't think that was a great idea,” he [Steve Moffat] told an audience at London’s Doctor Who Festival. “When I looked at them in person I thought 'my god, the new Daleks are awesome. they're so huge and powerful, they're brilliant.'”

“But I learned a grave lesson: which is that when you put them on screen, of course, they don't look bigger, they just make all the other Daleks look smaller.” - Radio Times Interview

Showrunner Steve Moffat admitiu que eles foram um grande erro e que eles seriam relegados ao fundo dos episódios como um pouco visto 'oficial-classe'

“So I revised my plans and I now consider them an officer class of Dalek,” he explained. “You do seem them about from time-to-time. It just became a little bit mad in The Magician's Apprentice because there were so many different Daleks in there that I didn't want to confuse the eye.”

“They haven't gone away. We still have them. But that's the answer. The answer to most questions I find is that I've made a mistake.” 

Ele também foi questionado sobre eles mais recentemente em um Perguntas e respostas para a revista Doctor Who . Basta dizer que sua resposta não foi exatamente cheia de entusiasmo pelos NP Daleks.

Q. I enjoyed 'Into the Dalek' very much... However, seeing that they were noticeable by their absence, I do have to ask, are the Paradigm Daleks ever going to reappear?

Moffat. You know when you ask someone if your bum looks big in this...?

E em uma entrevista com o escritor Nicholas Pegg, inequivocamente que a principal razão para abandoná-los foi a fraca reação dos fãs.

Incidentally, on the subject of the New Paradigm Daleks, I asked Nicholas Pegg why we never see them anymore. His answer was that because of the negative response they’d received, they were now being quietly swept under the carpet, so I doubt that we’ll be seeing them on TV again anytime soon.

Na explicação do universo.

Como você pode ver nesta filmagem fora de foco tirada da Experiência Doctor Who de 2011 , parece ter havido uma guerra civil entre o Novo Paradigma (NP) Dalek e os velhos Daleks Prevailing (P), provando que P ≠ NP.

Bronze Dalek leader: We are the children of Davros! The new Dalek Paradigm is false! We are the one true master race!

New Paradigm Dalek leader: We are superior. We were created to ensure the purity of the Dalek race. You are inferior. You will be exterminated!

Bronze Dalek leader: This is war! Exterminate!

New Paradigm Daleks: The rebel Daleks are attacking!

Dito isto, parece haver alguns NP Daleks remanescentes, como evidenciado por esta imagem de 'Asylum of the Daleks'.

    

Fora do universo

Os Paradigm Daleks multicoloridos eram impopulares entre os fãs e, eventualmente, Moffat decidiu mais ou menos eliminá-los, mantendo-os apenas como uma "classe de oficiais" raramente vista.

It’s safe to say that this Dalek redesign didn’t quite capture the imagination of the public in the way the series makers had hoped, with many fans complaining that the new villains looked more like Fisher-Price toys/iPods/Renault Lagunas than the scourge of the galaxy.

Eventually, Steven Moffat told fans that while the new models were here to stay, the modern bronze Daleks weren’t gone forever after all – rather, the new Paradigm Daleks would be their bosses.

“The fact is, we're not going to lose the old Daleks. We're keeping them,” he said in Doctor Who: The Brilliant Book. “They're coming back. We'll just use them all at once, and have different ranks. All I've done is give the Daleks an officer class.”

This idea was put into action for 2012’s Asylum of the Daleks, which saw The Doctor a guest of the Dalek Parliament where modern bronze Daleks were commanded by a minority of new Paradigm Daleks. However, since then any episodes featuring Daleks have only featured the bronze Dalek design, so it seems the new Paradigm Daleks have been phased out due to their unpopularity.

No universo

Não há resposta canônica no programa de TV para o que aconteceu com os Paradigm Daleks, mas uma resposta possível é fornecida pelo Doctor Who Experience em Cardiff, que talvez seja semi-canônica desde que seu enredo foi escrito por Steven Moffat. Na história contada lá, os Daleks de bronze exterminam os Paradigm Daleks porque não os consideram “puros” o suficiente (à la Dalek Sec em Evolution of the Daleks ):

Bronze Dalek leader: "We are the children of Davros! The new Dalek Paradigm is false! We are the one true master race!"

New Paradigm Dalek leader: "We are superior. We were created to ensure the purity of the Dalek race. You are inferior. You will be exterminated!"

Bronze Dalek leader: "This is war! Exterminate!"

New Paradigm Daleks: "The rebel Daleks are attacking!"

As guerras civis de Dalek aconteceram um par de vezes em Old Who, então é possível que um terço tenha ocorrido e levado ao extermínio dos Paradigm Daleks, após um breve período de cooperação com Dalek em Asylum of the Daleks .
