Why Gordon is my favorite Thomas and Friends Character

Buckle up and fasten your seatbelts folks, because this is a long one! Today, I delve into Gordon’s incredible character arc and why it makes him my favorite Thomas and Friends character. As always, this is just my opinion, so feel free to disagree in the comments below!

Fun fact, in the Railway Series, Gordon's line of "You started so quickly that you stopped a nasty accident" makes more sense, as Percy does start before Gordon stops and Gordon stops in the exact spot, or very close to, where Percy was before he began moving

Why I love Gordon 1. his overall arc 2. over the top crashes 3. I love how underneath his tough guy mentality is a heart of gold think about stories like leaves, down the mine, percy runs away, and gordon and spencer and more where he INSTANTLY comes to their rescue even if some of those episodes they were an ass to Gordon early on

[@forrestdupre87]

Gordon was named after a bossy kid who lived on the Awdrys’ street

[@keanes8608]

I think Gordon believes himself as older and more mature but in reality he’s the younger of the main first 6 (discounting Percy, know one really knows)

At 18:04, there is something you just can't unsee. They use James's upset face model on Edward, which makes me see James the engine but in blue. I know it's stupid, but it's something you just can't unsee. Haha Overall though fantastic video on Gordon. ( who which by the way, is my favourite as well.)

[@stationshunter08]

Ngl, Gordon is like one of the most relatable character to me.

[@splendidwolf442]

That’s cool! In what ways do you relate to him? Me personally I don’t really relate to him, as I’m a much less extroverted and outspoken person.

[@stationshunter08]

He's related to me like an egostical jerk and a big brother figure

Great video! I really like how you shed light on his journey in the tv series, and what he represents. Some of it feels similer to a video I made a few months ago. 1+ Subscriber.

[@splendidwolf442]

Thanks bud! I actually saw your video before I made this and definitely drew some inspiration from it!

[@giulianodervelociraptorder734]

Gordon is my 4th favorite character in Thomas. And yes I know he is number 4 on Sodor with Peter Sam.

[@amitysluzara2022]

Gordon is definitely one of the best wrote characters in the show! I love his arc and character development

[@splendidwolf442]

I definitely agree! He changes so much over the series but still maintains enough of his personality to be iconic!

6:20, well Henry was also getting sick of shunting coaches too, and mad about it. Not to mention the elephant ordeal (which happened before the strike in the books) only ticked him off even more. So it makes more sense that he’d join the strike that way.
