DAY OF THE DIESELS MAKES EVERYONE STUPID

I rewatch the 2011 special, Day of the Diesels, for the first time in years, all the while giving my abridged commentary. Here are the highlights.

7:10, it looks like Diesel 10 got into Thomas’ cab in this shot 😂

[@tad7441]

I think a better version of this movie would be about Duck, Diesel, and scrap.

[@DomicDrift]

What we needed was a Fast and Furious approach. An actionful Thomas special here the diesels and engines actually fight and bump into each other crashing everywhere.

Diesel 10’s “redemption” is so bad it makes other terrible “redemptions” (EG. Hurricane/Frankie in JBS, Harumi in Ninjago Crystalized, and Zeta in The Angry Birds Movie 2) look passable. And everyone in both DOTD and MIR are so stupid that they make the characters in TABM2 look like they have brain cells.

[@RWSfan2024]

What’s TABM?

[@IsleofPigsStudios]

@@RWSfan2024 TABM2 = The Angry Birds Movie 2. TABM = The Angry Birds Movie. The first one is actually decent in my opinion, definitely overhated by critics. TABM2 on the other hand… well let’s say I have choice words for it

How did Sidney manage to survive the fire? And how did he not get PTSD from it?

[@NitroIndigo]

I saw a theory (from James A. Williams, I think?) that Sydney is forgetful in the later seasons as a result of trauma.

[@jaanshersaeed4541]

He had been out of The Dieselworks somehow before the other diesels left to take over The Steamworks if you look carefully in the scene Kevin was screwing around with Happy Hook

[@RWSfan2024]

Why have an engine with water canons if you don’t bring an extra tank like Flynn?

[@levidarling5107]

Amen.

[@RWSfan2024]

Especially since she runs out of water after putting out the fire, which makes her useless

Don’t worry, besides, Tale of the brave beats this by a thousand points. It did one thing correctly and better than this movie!

[@dylanlyles9453]

@@levidarling5107 Yes! Also, I don't mind Diesel 10 being like this because it didn't tie up to anything Magic Railroad related.

[@dylanlyles9453]

I see Diesel 10 as a poor planning villain. He comes up with plans without thinking it through.

[@harrisonallen651]

Interesting how that an official guide book showed characters like Derek, Dennis, Splatter and Dodge that haven’t appeared since their debut.

@9:07 How were they operating the turntable and hoists? Also, of course, Percy's driver and fireman don't react to anything that happens!

Gee, I now imagine how much better this movie would have been if Andrew Brenner wrote it

[@ethandouro4334]

Imo in my headcannon, the dieselworks is next to the quarry, since it's arid and messy, not to mention that the air pollution due diesel engines can also help kill the environment near it

[@splendidredscrapiron]

9:33 lol

[@ReviCat]

I mean the only thing I liked about this movie was the chase scene the steam locomotives did it was so interesting, the rest of the movie was very weird and it was getting ugly for no reason, even the fact they made Paxton Sidney and Norman do a evil scheme like it's just not right. That movie sucked, except the chase part. 2:43 OH IT'S HIRO. KONNICHIWA the only thing about this movie is percy, nice he gets his own movies but this is a movie show casing all the diesels, and very good how mavis is in a movie.

[@sludgemeat]

7:53 The difference here is that Cars 2 is the superior film.

Said it before, still better than aeg

As a Thomas related thing, probably yeah. In terms of general quality, not a chance 💀 Not defending aeg, I think both suck, just in different ways
