Day 401: Revenge of the Cybermen Part 4

Despite being written by their co-creator, it is blatantly obvious that the Cybermen are very poorly written in this story. The problems behin with the title: Revenge of the Cybermen. The Cybermen are supposed to be emotionless beings, and yet here they are taking revenge on something or other. Their emotions do not stop there, with the Cyberleadr being very expressive for someone wihh the emotions drained out of them.

And that brings me onto the next point. The Cybermen were created as a warning of the dangers of science going unchecked, such that eventually our whole bodies will be replaced with mechanical parts until nothing that makes us human remains. This is at the core of the Cybermen, and is what makes them scary. This has also been forgotten, as these Cybermen seem to operate just as robots, with no hint of their true modus operandi, to make everyone else like them. This shows that time has not been kind to how the writers remember the Cybermen, and perhaps a new start is needed for them. But we will have to wait a very long time before we get that new start...
