ASSHOLE is one word. Now F*CKING ASSHOLE, that's two words. And a very accurate description of Rourke. The word d*ck also describes him

It was mainly an early project, and my writing sytile was, basic at the time.
But otherwise, great minds think alike.

The Daleks are taken seriously.
They appeared in the 60s and reminded people of the Nazis. They were not a foe you could sympathise with, but one you could hate. They are genocidal and that makes it great to hate them and defeat them.
Writers have evolved them so that what was seen as deficiencies are now overcome. They can hover and the exterminator can turn through 180 degress so that they can shoot what is behind them. They are also bulletproof.
Think of them not as sentient killer trash cans but sentient killer tanks.
Of the Dr Who villains they are the ones people remember. Not bad for something created 50 years ago.
But are they deserving of the dragon's backlash ? Of all the villains on the list they are proabably the ones who need to get hit most

Yeah, but when you over-look their surprising sense of deadlyness, you have to admit, the design is weird, don't you think?

Most other aliens and monsters of the time are either based on mutating existing insects like the ants in the film THEM !, mutating other animals like the giant octopus in It Came From Beneath the Sea or are bipedal and very similar to humans. The design is radically different.
