Thom-tober: Movies/Specials

[@JamesAWilliams]

I’ve said this in the other Thom-tober videos, I’ve said in THIS f**king video and I’m saying it one more time: I wasn’t/am not going to review Thomas and the Magic Railroad because THE MOVIE! IS! NOT! CANON! The events of the movie are never referenced in the TV Show, Mr Conductor and the other exclusive humans never appear again, Lady never appears in the show except for in Thomas’ dreams (WHICH WERE MADE UP!) and anything Percy remembers about Diesel 10 in Day of the Diesels, it’s the events from Calling All Engines when he sees how scary he is at the scrapyard. So, STOP ASKING ME TO REVIEW THE F**KING MOVIE OR ASKING ME WHERE THE MOVIE RETROSPECTIVE IS! I’m not reviewing something that’s NOT canon! END OF STORY!

[@CW56]

Can you do something about David Brennan? He’s still insisting that Diesel 10 should have reverted to his persona from Magic Railroad, even despite that movie not being canon.

[@DavidBContentExtravaganza3967]

@@CW56 Because Magic Railroad isn't canon, doesn't mean Diesel 10's evilness isn't too because it's part of what makes him a great villain which most fans and I are staying true to which should have retained in the TV show in later appearances by writers who should have done it properly and how a character is portrayed is canon, even evilness, regardless. Your brother agrees to understand my thoughts so don't do anything against me again. Look. kzbin.info/www/bejne/jGeQqXqsfLtkgqc

[@DavidBContentExtravaganza3967]

I understand your choice. Pity that it was never referenced in the TV show apart from Diesel 10 calling Sidney Twinkle Toes and Thomas saying Little engines can do big things in Missing Christmas Decorations and Royal Engine. But do you like Diesel 10 being evil?

Fun Facts: 1. Despite not being canon Lady and Diesel 10 are characters have appeared outside of the movies. 2. Stanley is the only character to go into space. 3. Hero of the rails was originally gonna be a hybrid special, with the models and cgi faces 4. Diesel 10 has a different voice here compared to day of the Diesels 5. This was the first time The Fat Controller and Diesel 10 interacted together in anything. 6. They actually went to Wales to research Tallylynn Goldach etc for the Narrow gauge models 7. Stephenson's Rocket actually appeared in the railway series in Thomas and the Great Railway show. 8. Despite it not being his actual name, Gator's nameplate actually says Gator 9. This movie is the main reason why fans consider the cgi series to be it's own timeline. 10. This is the only special to have a human villain. 11. This was the first time Flying Scotsman ever properly showed up in the tv show. 12. Lexi is the only character in the show to have a visible smokebox. Though considering where it is and the fact people have to open up the hatch is......Goodnight everybody 13. This whole film was the reason season 21 was cut short yet it was still rushed..

When The Great Discovery came out in 2008, it was the best send-off for Thomas during the model era. But at that time, it’s kinda emotional to me since it was the time where we’re about to embrace the cgi era. And I can also say the same thing with The Royal Engine from 2020 for closing off the cgi era.

Incredible job, James. Thomtober basically proved how dedicated you are as a Thomas fan. Also, I was in the chat the entire time and I have some ideas for Day of the Diesels. How would you guys feel if I tried rewriting the film? I would remove the racism, Diesel 10 would be his true personality from TATMR, the structure would be revised, and a lot of the Miller elements would be dumped in favor of classic ones.

Henry losing his paint job is like fearing your clothes would disintegrate from being wet. Also, Henry’s phobia reminds me of Robot Jones, as the little robot feared he would rust from being sprayed by water; like Henry finding out that Rain won’t ruin his paint, Robot Jones got his shower and saw that he doesn’t rust, even though it electrified the surrounding class mates and gym teacher, and that he caused a power outage from it.

I like Misty Island Rescue and the Logging Locos myself and I'II watch them again and again. They're fine to me.

About the jobi wood, the Wiki says that apparently, since jobi logs are special, they are very heave, too heavy to even float.

Bringing all the engines including Lady and Diesel 10 together to build a new airport was the best idea ever. It was just executed terribly.

I was wondering if you'd do a watch-along like last year or so on CAE, but this'll do. Another thing that gets to me is they think they'll be scrapped with no vacationers, when a logic part of me asks, "What about goods or local passengers?" I had to check the gallery on the wiki to prove me wrong, but for a bit, I wondered if the shed rebuilding happened AFTER the storm, that already with both an airport unfinished and a bridge out, Hatt decided to pile on ANOTHER job. Guess not. I do agree that Hatt should've told the Steamers about it, plus I feel like he should've spoken with Emily beforehand about he transferred her - it just kind of lucked out here that she wanted to join. I've haven't really rooted for the diesels' side much 'cause for the most part the conflict was fueled by Diesel, 'Arry & Bert who (apart from S8) have pretty much all trouble. And resumes in S9, not to mention Edward's portrayal here.

[@jamurimorgan8180]

the adventure begins and sodor's legend of the lost treasure are the best thomas movies ever!!!!!

[@islesofforeignrails7917]

I don't think the part where Thomas hates Stanley for no reason was unjustified, he was completely ignored by the other engines (all because he was the newest tank engine on the railway) and he technically was given his job being in charge to someone who didn't find Great Waterton. As for The Adventure Begins, there was two problems you didn't mention. Thomas and Henry are somewhat misleadingly mischaracterized in this re-telling special. Henry was way much of a wuss, that overshadowed his pride in keeping his paint from damage, and Thomas, while loveable... sort of misses the point of his arc. He was just the nice and clumsy type rather than a cheeky, arrogant, impatient, undergoing little engine who thought was better than the others. His ways of provoking Gordon, leaving the passenger train by accident, having trouble with trucks humbled him and redeemed his success by rescuing James with the Breakdown train, that really completes his moment.

Here's a theory, a FILM THEORY that maybe Journey Beyond Sodor takes place between Rosie being painted red and The fastest red engine on Sodor. Good Theory, right?

[@daynafriduss3347]

James, The Unlucky Tug actually likes Journey Beyond Sodor. Go watch his take on it.

[@cooperfriends1964]

I guessing your ranking would be 13. BWBA 12. Misty island recuse 11. Day of the diesels 10. Calling all engines 9. Journey beyond sodor 8. The great race 7. Hero of the rails 6. The great discovery 5. King of the railway 4. Tale of the brave 3. Blue mountain mystery 2. The adventure begins 1. Sodor’s legend of the lost treasure

[@jesseallen3910]

18:27 I think it was justified because of the build up it has to Thomas hating Stanley with it showing us how thomas is being ignored by his friends for Stanley but when he took Thomas's birth in tidmoth sheds, that was the breaking point for him cause to Thomas it felt like his friends, no, his family is replacing him so of course he'd hate Stanley for that, also people can not pay attention to certain things when thinking about something else I mean when I was told to do something and then another thing completely different I focus on how I do the first thing and forgot the second one.

[@wolfman2802]

here we are the grand finally

[@Wildcatt1999]

To be fair to Journey Beyond Sodor, I don't think most of the newbies and the Steelworks were intended to reappear, given what happened to the show afterwards. Like The Unlucky Tug said, I would KILL to know what happened in 2017 that made it all happen. For what it's worth, I think Journey Beyond Sodor is a pretty good Thomas movie, flaws and all. And if Big World, Big Adventures never happened and the show officially ended with this movie, I'd be pretty satisfied.

[@ses_teamfredYT]

Sidney probably just forgot DOTD ever happened tbh

[@kyeoconnorred1423]

1:13:40 Maybe it was originally going to be salty telling Thomas about it but instead got Salty told Henry cuz he is scared most of the cgi series and the writers forgot to change it here. That’s just my theory

[@Bkapcalova]

1:22:06 wait james I just realised something in season 20 you know the missing brakedown crane Judy and gerome got a job to work at alresburgh Harbour to save engines there Why are they in knapford in this scene this makes no sense his must take place before the episode even tho it's different pasted

[@faluealt916]

Here are my opinions on the Thomas seasons, the Thomas movies/specials and All Engines Go: Series 1: An amazing way to start the show! Series 2: Best season of the show! Series 3: Great Series 4: It's good, but not as good as the first three seasons. Series 5: Decent Thomas and the Magic Railroad: Awful, this was the movie where Thomas jumped the shark. Series 6: Decent Series 7: Decent Series 8: The least good season. Calling All Engines: Bad Series 9: Mediocre Series 10: The first bad season of the show, and also the least bad one. Series 11: Average The Great Discovery: Good Series 12: A horrible way to end the model series. Hero of the Rails: A good way to start the CGI Series. Series 13: Horrible Misty Island Rescue: Horrible Series 14: Horrible Day of the Diesels: Awful Series 15: Worst season of the show! Blue Mountain Mystery: Amazing Series 16: Awful King of the Railway: A good way to start the Brenner era. Series 17: Good Tale of the Brave: Great Series 18: Good The Adventure Begins: Best movie of Thomas! Sodor's Legend of the Lost Treasure: Good Series 19: Good The Great Race: Bad Series 20: Good Journey Beyond Sodor: Decent Series 21: The last good season of the show. Big World! Big Adventures!: Horrible Series 22: Horrible Digs and Discoveries: Horrible Series 23: Horrible Marvelous Machinery: Awful Thomas and the Royal Engine: Good Series 24: A horrible way to end the original series. All Engines Go: Worst thing of the Thomas franchise!

18:56 first of all Thomas felt like he was being replaced by Stanley by his friends, second of all Thomas didn't feel like he was in charge of rebuilding great waterton he was appointed to be in charge by the fat controller and he doesn't boss people around he tells them nice and kindly what to do.
