2 Flawed Protagonists - Henry's Hero

[@Imsorrywat]

"well, it's dead." This hits even harder knowing what happened to the first channel.

[@Lt_Gonzo]

Henry's Hero really is the Super Rescue of the TV series. The fact that the Great Race completely threw this episode out the window and wrote Henry getting dead last in a strength competition is almost criminal

[@matthewbreazzeal6338]

Yeah henry should be first in the strength because he's pulled the heaviest trains in the thomas franchise

[@emersoninfinitystone5785]

@@matthewbreazzeal6338 Realistically i think Henry would've come 3rd. Vinnie being 2nd, and the winner Frieda.

[@TheLazyFusspot_3428]

"Henry puffed as HARD as he could" Henry's strong, alright, but compared to his competitors, he's only a mere 5f in comparison to them.

[@mailstorminurbox]

@@emersoninfinitystone5785 freida is an express engine, vinnie would have come 1st

[@Trickshotter]

As someone getting into writing fan stories, this story is very very well written. It's really hard to think of a situation where the 2 protagonists are right and wrong in their own way while making them true to character. The fact this story was partly written by Paul Larson makes it even better because he is also the writer of some of the better stories in the HiT Era

[@clown-cult96]

I also love how the conflict of the episode has no real conflict. There’s no fight, no argument, both the characters treat each other with respect and don’t judge each other. You can really believe there’s a strong friendship between them that something like this could be overcome so gently and respectfully. Another great message for kids.

[@giulianodervelociraptorder734]

This episode was not just a great episode. It was also a CGI episode where Henry in his character.

[@Kyle_Broflovski740]

Not to mention he’s not a worrysome bitch anymore who instead worries about health and safety

[@voltsiano116]

The best Railway Series/TTTE stories didn't talk down to the audience, and rarely had clearly defined morals. Gotta love that

[@DavidBContentExtravaganza3967]

If only the CGI Brenner era do more of retaining it.

[@ryanfuller912]

It's amazing how Henry's spotlight episodes transformed from Henry being an embarrassing wimp, into a god damn hero protagonist. This is Henry's best CGI episode, and it looks like something pulled out of The Classic Series.

[@DanGamingFan2406]

I really love this dynamic between Henry and Hiro and wish we had gotten more of it. Maybe then Henry's character wouldn't have been as butchered.

[@DavidBContentExtravaganza3967]

At least Season 20 shows Henry's character not butchered any more.

[@____Simon____]

​@@DavidBContentExtravaganza3967The fact he got written off by mattel right after in season 22

[@DavidBContentExtravaganza3967]

Another perfect idea for the dynamic of Henry and Hiro to be used again is a forest episode since they both love nature and would try to protect it from danger. That would be great by the writers if they should have thought of that, especially in the BWBA era where environmental goals are present.

[@DavidBContentExtravaganza3967]

[@harrisonallen651]

This was a perfect opportunity for seeing two protagonists together

[@toocooldarr_17]

Henry's Hero was one of the best CGI episodes ever

[@brendalenderman4876]

Agree 100%

[@engineboy53productions15]

The episode itself is an awesome one. It’s rare to see Hiro & Henry Work Together. And they have an excellent dynamic.

[@Charmaster04]

0:40 James' first three words being inadvertently lip-synched with the the first three words of the Wilbert Awdry excerpt was priceless.

[@neonfroot]

This is what I wish kids shows would do more often. Adults like to assume kids are black amd white, but its the way we treat kids, getting offended when kids show cynicism/reluctance.

[@Imjustasimpleman5310]

I am so thankful that we have a channel like this!

[@GumRobber]

Back when I first saw Henry’s Hero I was amazed by it and wish they did more stuff like that.

[@YourAverageRailwayFan]

"well, its dead" what an intro

[@Wildcatt1999]

Henry's Hero is my favorite episode of Season 17. It's a real shame we never got another Hiro and Henry episode, cause I think they have good chemistry together.

Henry's hero feels like a classic series episode

[@toby.fan9198]

After watching this video 3 years ago, Henry’s Hero became my favorite episode of the cgi series

[@ha.yanited26]

Glad to see this video is back!

[@steam-powered-cyborg]

There have been a couple of episodes in the Brenner era which have good reason for both sides of the coin’s point of view. No. More Mr Nice Engine, The Thomas Way and Luke’s New Friend to name a few, and to think of Hiro and Henry, two treasured characters from their respective debut eras, both got such triumphant character moments.

[@Mr.JackGiles1089]

Glad to see this video back!

[@Rashid_Reviews]

MTAKS was kind of experimental, your first videos after the comeback, and they were great don’t get me wrong, absolutely great points, but I always enjoy your longer videos talking about wider topics, but these were nice bite-sized videos to come after your giant BWBA review, it was nice talking about something positive for a change, but these weren’t really for diehard Thomas fans in my personal opinion, as the name suggests, these were videos to show to people who think Thomas is just another generic kids show, but they did make me proud for being a Thomas fan back in 2020 so I remember them fondly

[@Railman1225]

Well, Tug reviewed both this episode AND Respect for Gordon, so that means once Tug either gets his OG channel back, or when he finishes reuploading all his videos, the other two he mentioned could be what he works on next!

[@ZAV1944]

To me Hiro seems to have a bit of a Samurai mentality, he is intent on carrying out Sir Topham Hatt's orders even if it mean sacrificing his own well being. Sacrifice and Loyalty to one's master are basic principles of the Code of Bushido the Samurai's code of honor.

[@DavidBContentExtravaganza3967]

Heh, that would explain it since they're Japanese.

[@cardiv5zuikaku944]

Yes, i think the same.

[@tugsfan1617]

I love to see you Criticizing on more dynamic characters and how they use it

[@DuckShowStudios]

Your MTAKS are some of my favourte videos you have ever made! I'm glad they are back on You Tube. I hope your new chanel does just as well as your old one. The videos I would like to see you make most would be a video on the history of Thomas And The Magic Railroad and more documenterys and a Sodor's Finest on Donald and Dougles.. I'm glad your back.This video is amazing! Hope you have a great day!

[@stephanemondesir3402]

To be fully transparent with the episode Rock and Roll, Rusty wasn’t entirely in the right either by the second half. He was willing to leave Duncan derailed due to being justifiably fed up with him. It’s only after Skarloey reminded him of the passengers also being stranded that he came to the rescue.

[@toywizard2984]

In spite of Henry’s character being butchered in the long run of the CGI series, his episode with Hiro is pure gold.

[@ItsCarlos563]

My all time favourite episode of Season 17.

I must be the only person to notice the Gator cameo. Mind you, the episode is from before Tale of the Brave.

Henry's hero is a good episode, the only thing someone could nitpick is the length of the freight trains being hauled.

[@matthewbreazzeal6338]

Actually I like long heavy freight trains

[@Arkay315]

@@matthewbreazzeal6338 they are actually too short, Henry and Hiro's combined strength could've pulled much more than in the episode. The rolling stock is inconsistent, watch the episode and look at the rolling stock in the 1st minute. An entire train disappears, it's a huge animation continuity error.
