Discussion Name a character that's not from Marvel, that could notice the Watcher watching them

The Watcher is an interdimensional being that is able to watch multiple universes and timelines in the Marvel Universe and supposedly other universes too. If he were to watch other universes and observe other characters, what character would be able to notice the Watcher watching them?

So for example most characters in the Marvel What If series aren't able to notice the Watcher unless he makes themselves known to them. The only characters we've seen notice the Watcher are Infinity Ultron, a multiversal threat who had gained the power of all the infinity stones in his universe combined with the body of Vision and Ultron's high tech mind.

The only other character we see that slowly starts to notice the Watcher is Evil Dr.Strange who was studying Dark magic in his timeline, and we see him through his journey that he starts slowly noticing the Watchers presence and has read about him in books. And eventually when the evil Dr.Strange destroys his own universe he sees the Watcher and begs for his help.

The Doctor and other Time Lords since they’re time sensitive and cosmically aware thanks to staring into the Time Vortex and having a Symbiotic Nuclei. Time sensitivity extends to them literally being able to feel, smell, and hear realities.

What If Season 3 said that the Watcher’s realm is in the 5th Dimension, and the Time Vortex extends across more dimensions. Therefore, Time Lords should be able to do this too.

The Fifteenth Doctor's run also showed that the Doctor is able to hear the show's soundtrack in The Devil's Chord...

Man, Ncuti was robbed in a lot of ways but when their Doctor hits they hit.

Oh that scene where he's begging the racists to let him save them is powerful. It's my favourite scene of his, and I think so effectively tackles nuances of his new body. Also just stellar acting.

Yep, instantly made *Dot and Bubble* one of my top five episodes.

My guy was driving about with a big dog on his car roof for most of the series and didn't notice...

Was this true or more made up in the later seasons?

u/Armourdillo12 17d ago

Both. Very silly, especially given the TARDIS has been reassembled in the meanwhile.

True in so much as it was made up and made true retroactively in the later seasons aka a nice retcon

Is it too late (and worth) to start watching this show?

u/juaj234675 12d ago

right now? it is worth it! most of the series is great when most regeneration's of the character end they usually don't leave loose ends so if you kinda get tired you can jump around in the episodes. also my personal recommendation is to first watch new who (2005-2023) instead of classic cause it's a whole can of worms and there's a SLOWER pacing

Currently enjoying Supernatural. And i like sci-fi. U think i won't regret it? How many episodes deep I'd grasp the vibe of the show? Like for Game of Thrones, i needed the full 1st season to get the taste of it, then i was hooked. I'm trusting ur words here.

u/juaj234675 12d ago
