Jodie’s Doctor doesn’t necessarily rely/use it more than anyone else in the reboot, it’s more that she seems to use it randomly for very little reason sometimes. Previous Doctors typically scanned things for a reason, either to unlock something, get information, tweak a machine, self defence, etc.
Every doctor since the reboot has over relied on the sonic. I honestly think they should ditch it again, just like they did with the 5th Doctor. Maybe they have to keep it in now so they can sell toys, idk.
Literally, I feel like people are just nitpicking, all because it ain’t David or Matt smh 🤦♂️ Also I don’t think Chibnall is as bad as you’re making him out to be, just because you have a preference for Steven Moffat or whoever
Really? In all honesty she seems to use it less than 10 and 11 did and even when she does use it, it's more of a scanner. 10 and 11 essentially used it as a magic wand to fix all problems and don't even get me started on 12s Sonic Sunglasses lol
Yeah I agree she definitely overuses the sonic, but tbh it goes back further than 13. 11 and 12( when he wasn't using his sonic glasses) was almost as bad. They even made a point about it in Twice Upon A Time. So even Moffat knew it was a problem
The Eleventh Doctor used it just as much if not more so, so this is hardly a current era issue - this has been an issue for some time. and there are plenty of scenes where she doesn't whip it out, in fact she doesn't use it at all in Revolution of the Daleks (which was quite refreshing)
It could have been an interesting quirk of her character; how she feels the need to explore everything! And that could have been reflected in her over use of the sonic.
Sonics a dead man

I’ve heard this exact thing said about the past fifteen years of the show.
I wouldn't have posted this if I thought 13 uses it just as much as her predecessors. Because she doesn't.
They've been overusing it for years, not just in the Chibnall era
The doctor has displayed an over reliance of the sonic for a while now. It is nothing new.

Hardly a 13 thing people have complained about the over reliance since 10 I don’t notice her using it any more than 10 or 11

Still better than sonic sunglasses. I’m still scratching my head on that one.

You youngins' and you Sonic screwdrivers. It's been a problem since 5.
5 didn't use a sonic.

The Sonic is basically a tricorder at this point, scan's everything under the sun.
I definitely think she'd be at the top of that list.
