How Do The Engines Feel About Season 8

[@Choothetraingoddess]

“Duck is no longer part of our cast!” Considering the whole theory of Thomas and Duck loathing each other, this line and the scene of Duck after had me lol’ing.😂

[@supergenesisstation1991]

I mean he was already regulated to being a support character since season 4-5.

[@joshuaW5621]

That theory was disproven by the Thomas’s Anthem song and the Random House books.

[@DodotheWishFanboy]

The theory isn’t true.

Thomas: “They got me all wrong! They’re gonna portray me like a child!” James: “Well, seeing as you’re throwing a tantrum, that seems pretty accurate to me.” Thomas: “F*ck you, James.”

6:37 "Thomas had no idea how right he was. The fans were going to be cross."

[@NicholasRaphael-cg5ud]

You know, in a way, this actually feels accurate to what went down in the HiT era. The thing that blows my mind is that while everyone else has a meltdown over how their lives are gonna change in the next eight years, Gordon and James just blow it off as if nothing happened to them. And of course they’re gonna throw Duck into a little something that I like to call “The Realm of Irelevantcy.”

[@supergenesisstation1991]

Duck had become irrelevant since like season 4 or 5. He didn't have any leading roles, he was always handled as a support character. Hell season 6 help drive that point farrier.

[@brookelynrhodes1998]

I think this is pretty accurate. I feel like this would be how the engines will feel for the rest of the TV series. Which unfortunately, includes the Brenner era.

[@DavidBContentExtravaganza3967]

Though the Brenner era did fixed them a bit back to their true characters mostly.

[@brookelynrhodes1998]

@DavidBContentExtravaganza3967 It wasn't the same though. I honestly prefer the Brenner Era over HIT. I refuse to watch HIT Era episodes.

What about a video of the engines reacting to all the eras? The Classic Era, The Hit Era, The Nitrogen/Miller Era, The Brenner Era, The BWBA (BWUBA) Era, and The AEG (Age) Era.

[@SparklingJam]

Wdym from what I saw they only put the good seasons like 1-7 and 17-21

[@thesudriana016]

If we fans can have our own opinions of the show, so can the engines (I know the Culdee Fell Engines may not be happy of not having more appearances in the remaining franchise after their only spotlight book. Can imagine how much people hardly know them, even those who hadn't read or heard of the RWS). I had done an episode about Duck's reaction to not being in the HiT era in GSE. In my headcanon, just like the Awdrys, even the original TV Series crew (Britt Allcroft, David Mitton and Phil Fehrle) would come to the Island of Sodor to see the engines and they would each tell them about the other adventures that weren't featured in the Railway Series books or Annuals (most notably the events from 1966 and the early/mid 70s), and they would take accurate notes to ensure they stay that way (even if S6 and 7 had a few stories that were only made for TV). It was only S8 onwards where the new HiT and later Mattel executives and writers only took notes from the Sodor Archives that are nearly the same events as they were from before, but took creative liberties to some stories for better or for worse.

[@Rad0115]

“This is complete democracy”? What?

[@jacobwilcox8659]

Like Diesel said why don't they watch who they REALLY are?

[@jordenfilmz]

I’ve definitely had this theory ever since S12. I like to think Seasons 1-5 are basically the books and because of their success with the books, Magic Railroad, S6-7, and S8-12 are basically a show within a show. Sodor is like a real place and that it’s a show within a show. Like HiT or Mattel exists on the island and they have a video crew and direction over the engines and how they want to make the show. Hence why the engines make stupid mistakes or are out of character. Secretly, the engines don’t like the direction but are committed to the direction and their work and eventually when HiT does something right, it’s a joy to them. Oh, and Season 12, especially, they film the engines but use the ugly CGI faces to cover their real faces. That’s just a little fun theory I like to imagine. Feel free to agree or disagree with this. But this video is accurate with the HiT direction and kinda correlates with my theory.

[@joshuaW5621]

S6-7 didn’t change too many things. They still feel like classic Thomas in more ways then they don’t.

[@jordenfilmz]

@@joshuaW5621 yeah you could make an argument that the S6-7 could part of the books because still retained some stuff and S8-12 is where everything changed and Thomas as we know it became corporate.

And that's how Season 8 from the HIT era was transpired to be as a childish show. I had to admit that Season 8 might be okay, but as for classic Thomas's fans, They'll be dismissive and ruthless towards the children's show because they thought it would be preferred classic Thomas's show better than HiT Era. But I don't think that Season 8 was bad; they'll be okay in the season, in my opinion. For instance, Season 8 means that learning segments and music videos could be aimed at young children. Learning segments could help young children understand what engines look like, jobs, exploring, which tracks were correct, and more. Duck didn't appear in Season 8 and forgotten characters like Thumper, Boco, Bulgy, George, Donald and Douglas, Daisy and Bill, and Ben. The characters of Season 8 were truly portrayed, Like Thomas becoming immature and a jerk, Percy still forgetfulness like in previous seasons, and James...well, I couldn't tell that. Emily was a being Lucy, and Toby was an elder like Edward but a little coward. Gordon was okay this season, and Diesel was no problem this season; he was still deviously and bullied. And Henry is shy but has forgotten how to pull the express?! Seriously, this character's plot has truly messed up and made no sense without any coincidence at all. Again, I had to admit that Season 8 was okay in this era, but there are some issues in this series that any fans could point out.

[@samsea0489]

I’m sorry but l have to disagree with you in terms of the characters. Thomas most of the time is portrayed an idiot which wasn’t his character in the classic series. He shouldn’t even be immature considering the character growth he had from S3-maybe S7 Percy is potrayed as the baby of the steam team and has lost his character development as well along with his confidence. I’m neutral on how Emily’s portrayed. Toby is not a coward. He was never like this in the classic series. This literally character change. Toby was depicted as a wise, old, helpful, confident experienced tram engine who did what work was given to him. Also his key trait was he would always wait and laugh at arrogant jerk characters who received their karma whereas Edward had to knock sense into them. Diesel became a generic school bully and became a permanent member who didn’t deserve to be on Sodor. Diesel was better as tertiary character when he appeared in episodes where he and Duck were rivals. Diesel from S2 was a conniving, crafty, arrogant manipulator. Putting him in a prominent role was a bad idea.
