The Doctors fight to the death in this fan-made video

"Doctor Who" meets "The Hunger Games" as the Daleks and the Master pit the Doctors against each other



The Master and the Daleks create something similar to the Hunger Games as they pit Doctors one through 12 (plus the "War Doctor") against each other in this fan-made Youtube video.

There have been over one million views of this video, as people are drawn in by the thumbnail and the details seen in the video itself. The labeling picture of the video imitates a poster for the 11th Doctor.

The video contains detailed costumes and sets, including the TARDIS the Doctors brawl over, since the TARDIS is their way out. From the fact that the Ninth Doctor truly starts the bloodbath with the call "dibs on the laser gun!" to the 10th Doctor's "he never wanted to go," the references and the character portrayals make these "Doctor Games" brilliant.

Though the video puts the 11th, 10th, and 4th Doctors as the true stars of the show, the video portrays each of the Doctors in a fun way. The War Doctor gets called "eight and a half, or something" and the Fifth Doctor causes a lot of death with his decorative and ironically once-restorative celery in this overall chaos of the Doctors.

Ignoring the facts that the true Doctors would work together in such a situation rather than fight each other and that killing the First Doctor would create a paradox that would kill all future generations of the Doctor, the video is an accurate representation of what could happen in this new universe.

For fans of the 12th Doctor be warned that he gets killed off quickly, receiving less screen time then the River Song who does not even participate in the games herself.

This video may not follow all of "Doctor Who" mythology, but the video becomes a fun new twist on the Doctors in a "Hunger Games" universe with its chaos and attention to detail.

This video contains Doctors up to the 12th Doctor, just as the Hunger Games had 12 Districts. Now that "Doctor Who" has a 13th Doctor, could this influence the creators to fashion a new "Hunger Games" with 13 as the rebel district ready to save the Doctors and defeat the Master and Daleks?
