Mavis: What is this? I’m supposed to be a feisty and cheeky young engine, not a female BoCo. Why is this okay with people but not Sir Handel becoming more mature in the HiT era and even the CGI series? How is my change in character any different from his?

Stepney: I can't believe this! this was my last appearence in the entire series and this is how I get sent off? me being covered In pink sugar! I can't believe the writers would send me off like this

Duck: I Know right Stepney, But at least my I returned in CGI and at the very least my last appearance didn't end my legacy on a sour note

Stepney: And the worst part is that They didn't even show Rosie going back and helping me after her pink sugar truck crashed into me! Couldn't they have at least mentioned that Rosie helped me after my accident off screen?

Stepney: You know Duck, Since you've returned back in Series 17 and you've become more prominent since then, I'm hoping that I will return one day and gain prominence again

Duck: I agree with you Stepney.

Stanley: I can't believe the writers casted me off and just used me a background engine, And they didn't even bother to give me any lead episode roles or any roles at all, At least i had a secondary role in surprise surprise, I also don't understand why they kept getting multiple actors to voice me in all of my appearences, Why couldn't they have just stuck to using one actor for all my appearences, Why didn't they also make an episode about me and Ryan, Me and Ryan would've been a perfect duo, Not to mention that ryan has the same role that i used to have back in the great discovery, And why did the writers drop me from Hero of the rails and Season 13, The writers had every oppurtunity they could to use my character, But nope, They just stuck to using me as filler to fill up the background with, I am such a wasted character

Toby: Why did the writers at hit and mattel write me as a wimpy coward! I may have been scared of the old mine back when I met Bertram for the first time, But I had a reason to be scared, And why would I be afraid of going to knapford station in series 18! I have been to knapford countless times before without any issue, At least there were some moments post season 8 where I was in character, Such as in James to the rescue where I let James learn from his arrogance by getting himself in a mess, But why, Just Why did the writers of hit and Mattel stick to writing me as a wimpy, Cowardly moron, Not to mention that andrew brenner claims i'm one of his favorite characters, But yet he keeps writing me as a coward! I can't believe that edward's character was fixed post Series 16, Whereas I remained a coward throughout the rest of the series, At least my Appearences in all engines go got my character right, I can't believe i'm saying something positive about all engines go, The writers of hit and Mattel should feel ashamed of themselves, That especially goes for hit for creating my wimpy personality in the 2003 writers bible, Hopefully one day I will be fully reverted back to my old characterization

Skarloey: What in the Chuffing heck is this!

Rheneas: Me and Skarloey do not act childish and immature, We are old and wise engines, Not immature and idiotic engines!

Skarloey: Seriously, What was Hit Entertainment thinking? Just because we are small-sized, doesn't bloody mean we are young engines

Rheneas: Those foolish writers cleary haven't watched any of our episodes from season 4-5 or read the railway series

Skarloey: I can't believe the writers would write us as such foolish, Idiotic childish engines. Hit and the writers should feel deeply ashamed of themselves!

Rheneas: Thankfully, the writers fixed our characters in Blue mountain mystery, What were those writers thinking!

Sir Handel: Rubbish! I am not old and wise, i'm young and immature, why did HIT Entertainment think i'm a wise engine, When i'm not! Skarloey, Rheneas and Duke should be the wise ones, Not me! Why couldn't they have me still be my old self from season 4, but with me maturing and becoming nicer like in the railway series, not to mention that my attitude change happened off-screen This is straight up wrong, I'm not supposed to be a wise engine I'm supposed to be a young engine! I hate hit entertainment so much

Here is my ideal 2026 Duck design. I thought I’d make Duck look like his Railway Series design with the colours of the tv series, and this time I’ve also added the coloured irises of All Engines Go and this new show. What do you all think?

It is a screen used fireworks van sign from "Thomas And The Lighthouse" very proud to own it!

• Toby-Skarloey

• Edward-Rheneas

• Thomas-Sir Handel

• Percy-Peter Sam

• Henry-Rusty

• James-Duncan

• Gordon-Duke

• Duck-Freddie

• Donald and Douglas-Mighty-Mac

I mean, Blue mountain mystery literally takes place before season 16, But yet Winston, Owen and Merrick are the only new characters that make appear in the season, Whilst Luke is just casted off, and luke doesn't even get a name-drop, a cameo or a mention, And this season just acts like luke doesn't exist, Ik blue mountain mystery was released after season 16, But why couldn't they have luke appear in season 16, This just makes no sense, I have no idea what happened behind the scenes, I honestly think luke should've appeared in the Christmas tree express and replaced Rheneas in the story and Either Percy, Flora(If she appeared in S13-16) or Even Paxton should've taken toby's place in that story.

Since Duck, Donald and Douglas, Oliver, Etc don't appear during the nitrogen era(Mainly because of hit not caring about these characters) I've come up with a theory on where these characters were during that time period, I like to believe that the reason these characters were not seen during this time of the show is that these characters were the ones doing all of the actual work, Whilst Thomas as well as the other members of the steam team, As well as the other characters like Diesel, Rosie, Etc were causing confusion and delay every day and constantly screwing up their jobs, And if this theory was true, It would be very funny and I could just imagine Duck, Donald and Douglas, Oliver, Bill and Ben, Harvey, Fergus, Arthur, Murdoch, BoCo, Daisy, Molly, Neville, Etc would all be mad at the steam team, Diesel, Rosie, and the other important secondary characters for not taking any responsibility and actually doing work

I Think both Hit entertainment and Mattel were both equally as bad at handling the thomas and friends brand, I mean, Both hit and Mattel both didn't care about the overall franchise of Thomas or it's source material, and they both completely ruined the show with their awful ways of marketing and using the show as a money making oppurtunity for merchandise, Rather than further developing the franchise, Now all of what hit or Mattel made is not bad, but it's clear that both companies deep down didn't care about Thomas and just wanted to use the show as a pawn to market new toys

I will never forgive hit and mattel for ruining the show with their crunchy way of merchandising and marketing
