[Music] hello everyone kayen the Great Western engine here and today's video is going
0:05
to be something a little bit different today I'm ranking every single Thomas the Tank Engine season now I'm not going
0:11
to count seasons 1 2 and three of the reboot all engines go simply because
0:17
like 39,000 of you saw me rip apart this show to shreds it wasn't just the worst
0:22
thing I ever seen in my life it completely ruined everything that made Thomas such an alltime classic I know
0:29
it's doing pretty well for some people especially season 2 and that's fine it
0:34
doesn't give us that many bad messages or anything but yeah I just cannot do
0:40
with this show so much I even stopped watching halfway through season 1 that
0:45
way I would make things much easier for me now I do understand that I'm raning
0:50
about a kid show but the original Thomas was also made for kids but the first seven seasons were enjoyable for all
0:57
ages it was much more unique than pretty much every other kid show the stories were much more A Slice of Life and
1:04
relaxing the visuals looked absolutely gorgeous the crashes were tense and actually had suspense and all those
1:11
different tangents were actually fleshed out and developed not even a single engine was sidelined and it all really
1:18
makes for a very enjoyable show for me and a lot of Thomas fans whereas all engines go completely throws it all down
1:25
the drain and becomes a show made for literal babies rather than something the whole family can enjoy like the original
1:31
series but enough of me ranting on this so let's just go to the list now just reminder to all of you this is just my
1:39
opinion so it may not be the same as your list it may be similar to your list but they're still slightly different
1:45
from each other so don't act like it's the end of the world just because somebody has a different opinion so with
1:51
that said here we go now it's changed a lot especially on the bottom places
1:57
that's because of my latest rewatches for the video coming in at last place I have season 15
2:03
this season might just be the worst Thomas season I've ever seen in my life one of the major problems have with this
2:10
season is the writing is just absolutely terrible the character decisions are stupid and the rhyming and literation is
2:17
so overused and so is the three strikes formula now to be fair and I'm sorry but
2:22
the voice acting is really not that good in both dubs and literally sounds like they're reading a script rather than
2:28
actually voice Act ing the characters it's also home to some of the worst episodes of this series wonky whistle is
2:35
easily one of them Thomas is just the most stupidest piece of I've ever seen in my life I hate that he nearly
2:43
injured the Workman and nearly ripped that guy's hand off and the rhyming and literation is way more overused than in
2:49
the other episodes of the nitrogen era fiery Flynn is another one of the worst episodes of all time the way they depict
2:56
real life Heroes is absolutely terrible Flynn was absolutely stupid in this episode there's no good episodes
3:03
whatsoever that's how unwatchable it is I could go on and done about it coming
3:09
in at 25th place I have season 14 another one of the worst seasons that is
3:15
just absolutely garbage this season is literally everything I just said about season 15 and there's literally nothing
3:22
unique about this season so there's not much to say about it the one thing I got to admit is the animation looks pretty
3:29
solid for a kids show something I forgot to say in season 15 but overall this
3:34
season is absolutely garbage coming in at 24th Place I have season 12 season 12
3:41
might just be the most ugliest thing I ever seen in my life like look at this
3:47
not going to lie putting CGI faces on the model trains was pretty unique but looking at it in
3:53
20124 it's SED terribly and is home to some of the worst episodes of this
3:58
series it also has some of the worst narration of all time in this season
4:04
there's almost not much to say about this season so let's move on coming in at 23rd Place I have season 23 now this
4:11
season is not good at all by any means but the only reason why it's higher than the previous three seasons because the
4:18
life lessons for the most part were way better than those said Seasons most of the stories aren't as repetitive even
4:24
the soor episodes are far more interesting than the international episodes even balgi gets an episode
4:31
dedicated to him and that was pretty decent but with that being said it's
4:36
still a Bad season the animation is worse the balancing is at its absolute
4:41
worst leading into the engines feeling rather weightless the new characters feel one-dimensional and it's hard to
4:47
care about them Stefano looks strange he doesn't even look like an actual real
4:53
life super Cruiser at all this just looks like a parody Lorenzo is just the
4:59
annoying Pro singing engine bip P I actually thought was okay and the colors on the engines are super rushed out and
5:06
the lack of continuity for example the soor episodes and international episodes
5:11
don't really feel connected to each other at all and the fact that Edward and Henry never got an episode dedicated
5:17
to them in this season is just absolutely stupid because they were the first characters in The Railway Series
5:23
now they're just completely sidelined and bah and I hate it coming in at 202nd
5:29
in place I have Season 22 Season 22 is pretty much everything I said about
5:35
season 23 but there's also quite a lot to talk about first of all the new
5:40
characters Nia and Rebecca are very generic characters with wasted potential
5:45
they're not bad characters or anything in fact diversity is amazing to have in shows but Nia and Rebecca just can't
5:53
seem to be as interesting enough as characters Nia is just the foreign engine and Rebecca's just the happy go
5:59
lucky character I also think kicking Edward and Henry out of the steam team felt a little bit rushed Edward I accept
6:07
because we get an episode with him making his own choice to share a shed with Philip near wellsworth but there's
6:13
no reason to kick Henry out of the steam team at all he never gets an episode about him making his choice to share a
6:20
shed with Rosie in Theiss toown instead we get an episode that is pretty much a parody of the Thomas Phantom's reaction
6:26
when Edward and Henry got kicked out of tided mshack which let me say acknowledge the chances but still an
6:33
absolutely terrible episode one thing I'm going to bash on for the international episodes is that instead
6:39
of making new International Engines coaches and Freight cars they instead reuse Soder engines and Rolling Stock
6:46
which is just flat out lazy and cheap and what was the point of the beginning and end segments in the beginning
6:53
sequence Thomas literally just tells you what's going to happen in this episode which completely spoils the episode and
6:59
then at the end sequence Thomas literally just tells you what happened in the last half of the episode like
7:06
seriously what was point of those sequences other than to pad out runtime
7:11
coming in at 21st place I have season 24 it's not nearly as bad as the other six
7:17
seasons but definitely still a Bad season some episodes were good including
7:22
some disorder episodes even that one international episode about y Ba's
7:28
backstory was more interesting this time around the Royal engine was okay definitely a fitting conclusion to the
7:34
series but marvelous machiner was the most useless garbage Arc of episodes of
7:40
any Thomas I've ever seen in my life and the other International episodes I
7:45
disliked as well but at least they didn't go super far on cartoon a like marvelous Machinery with that being
7:51
said season 24 is definitely a Bad season of Thomas and Friends and also a
7:57
terrible way to conclude the series coming in at 20th Place I have season 13
8:02
definitely a Bad season of course with lots of stupid episodes bad character
8:08
decisions terrible voice acting in both dubs repetitive rhyming and alliterations but I find myself a little
8:15
nostalgic on this season I remember watching it on Sprout like the other Miller Seasons but now watching it yeah
8:23
the animation is a little questionable sometimes it looks good but other times
8:28
not really not much else to say about this season as it's pretty much more of the same as Seasons 12 to 15 coming in
8:36
at 19th Place I have season 16 Season 16 was one of the better Miller era Seasons
8:42
there's less rhyming and alliterations some episodes are good it's great seeing the Narrow Gauge Engines looking good in
8:49
CGI except Duncan but overall a pretty mediocre season not much has changed so
8:56
not much else to say coming in at 18th Place I have season 10 season 10 of may
9:02
be absolutely garbage but I think it actually can be an enjoyable season overall but still the new characters are
9:10
onedimensional and sometimes confusing like Jeremy and has some of the worst
9:15
episodes of all time like Edward strikes out and Thomas's Frosty friend were so offensively bad Edward is so out of
9:23
character and Edward Strikes Out unlike every other episode he's in and Thomas's
9:28
Frosty friend is just 100% painful to get through I have nothing else to say
9:34
about this season other than it's pretty much enjoyable garbage coming in at 17th
9:39
Place I have season 9 everything I just said about season 10 but correct me if
9:44
I'm wrong but I think this is the first season to overuse the three strik zout formula coming in at 16th Place I have
9:52
season 11 season 11 is easily one of the better hit era Seasons even visually now
9:58
I know some people come complain about the yellow tint but I think it very well captures the warm summer feel it also
10:05
has some very memorable Abyss like Thomas and the stinky cheese Gordon and the engineer was a very good episode not
10:12
just because it features Donald and Douglas dream on was a really good story about Thomas and Spencer and Hector the
10:19
horid might actually be the best of the Season by far it features my one of my favorite characters like Hector the idea
10:27
of having a hopper car that isn't Troublesome and interacts with the engines more was a really nice change of
10:33
pace and it really gives the Troublesome Trucks more depth and personality rather than being just Troublesome NPCs the
10:40
whole time there's also some other memorable new characters like M who's
10:45
like the motherly figure to the Narrow Gauge engine and it's really cool to see a truck carrying the Narrow Gauge
10:51
Engines around with was they're just puffing around everywhere looking for Emily without showing his true colors
10:58
and that's it I feel like he was handled much better in Misty Island Rescue but for all the Great Moments there are also
11:05
some terrible episodes and Billy just the most unlikable character in all of Thomas and friends the episode with him
11:13
was just straight up garbage so overall this season is a mixed bag there are some highs that actually showed hope for
11:20
the franchise but sadly was only a onetime thing but there's also some absolutely garbage episodes too coming
11:27
in at 15th Place I have season 8 this season was mid as best though I feel
11:33
like the term mid is so overused that people tend to use it in correctly M does not mean bad there are some great
11:40
episodes but also some terrible episodes and moments at the same time Emily was
11:46
introduced in season 7 as this kind caring and supportive older sister figure to the other engines now she's
11:54
kind of just a fussy rude bossy and unlikable character like Gordon
11:59
there's even a stupid plot hole like with Henry being bad at pulling the express when we literally saw him
12:05
successfully pull the express countless times before in the classic series I also kind of liked that this was a
12:12
laid-back season for the head ter for its first season like season 1 where it was introducing us to the characters we
12:18
all know and love so they're not going to introduce us to some new characters or bring back every single character
12:24
right away neither is it going to be action-packed I also think that it was a
12:30
pretty strong start to a new era before completely fumbling the bag afterwards
12:35
coming in at 14th Place this is where we finally get to the Good Seasons so I have season 17 season 17 was decent
12:44
there are some pretty bad episodes like steamy Stafford and the afternoon T Express and the animation isn't as good
12:51
but overall it was a step in the right direction most of the characters reverted back to their original
12:57
counterparts it finally brought back fan favorite characters like Duck and Harvey
13:02
the characters no longer make the same mistakes three times in a row in order to pad out the 9 Minute run time and it
13:10
really felt like a breath of fresh air for the CGI series to finally go back to the roots from the classic era I
13:16
actually cannot believe these episodes are really from the CGI era but it doesn't stop there coming in at 13th
13:24
Place I have season 19 season 19 was enjoyable and a step up from season 2017
13:30
the animation is easily some of the best I've ever seen in my entire life the lighting is far more complex the
13:36
different types of weather and day looks absolutely genuine there's way more incredible camera movements and angles
13:43
there's so much detail on everything like the engines boilers running boards colors Spencer actually looks like he's
13:51
actually silver thanks to the reflections and the water looks absolutely real my main problem with
13:57
this season is Henry is just way too much of a scaredy cat in this season not
14:02
to mention none of his episodes are as good and Thomas appears way too often in
14:07
every episode at least it's not as bad as the Miller era where it's just focused on him being just a stupid Tank
14:14
Engine messing up important things three times in a row leaving less room for the other characters to get the spotlight or
14:21
character development they need in this season he is far more likable in every episode not to mention we also get to
14:29
focus on the side characters and learn something we never heard before we learn that salty has fear of going on a ship
14:36
cranky is more embarrassed and tries to cover up the mistakes he made Victor passionately hates snow Caitlyn
14:43
self-conscious of her skirt D and dart has separation anxiety now those
14:48
characters are starting to feel like actual characters and not like toys and that was brilliant overall this season
14:55
was very good but I personally prefer season 8 18 over this one coming in at
15:01
12th Place I have season 21 coming into season 21 after Journey Beyond solidor I
15:08
expected this to be absolutely garbage way too much cartoony weightless bouncing movements but after watching it
15:15
it was actually much better than what I thought and overall a pretty enjoyable watch The Bouncing is only used 10% of
15:23
the time there wasn't as many crunchy fantasy sequences like the bua seeing balg back got me in shock but it's great
15:31
to have him back in the show and same with Terrence along with giving him more personality that some people may say is
15:38
out of character but I thought it was a nice change to me and gives him a lot more personality like I said but overall
15:46
it was the start of the show's second downfall leading into some flaws with this season every time sir toam had
15:53
appears in this season he's just a one-dimensional comedic relief character way more more so than in previous
16:00
Seasons the episodes feel way more fastpaced than season 20 the new crane
16:05
Carly I wasn't really a fan of I mean she is definitely a cute bubbly crane who is willing to help cranky and his
16:12
nice to talk to but her design just looks way too modern to even fit in with the other cranes and seeing her right
16:19
between the two cranes just feels super weird and kind of makes the docks too cluttered and messy the other problem is
16:26
that being the episode daring timing Springtime for diesel is the episode where diesel finally starts to change
16:33
his actions before becoming a one-dimensional bully again in the later episodes a new crane called Carly was
16:39
introduced in brendam docks yet in the Christmas episodes she's nowhere to be seen in brendam docks in the shed for
16:47
Edward Edward makes his choice to leave tidm sheds and sleep with Philip near wellsworth but then into Christmas
16:53
episodes he's back into TMI sheds which makes this season feel like they're rushing to get it out so fast because
17:00
they're afraid they're not going to finish rendering everything in time for the release especially now that Arc
17:06
Productions ended up going bankrupt delaying every one of the productions for over a month and some of the
17:13
episodes are either bad or just straight up garbage like I'm sorry Emily in the middle is just absolutely painful to get
17:20
through mainly because of Donald and Douglas just fall on bickering to each other for 90% of the episode rather than
17:27
being loyal twin brothers that care about each other and a shed for Edward is also another one of the worst
17:34
episodes of the Season just because Edward leaving tid myth sheds to share a shed with Philip at wellsworth really
17:40
divided the fandom it's also the shortest season of them all originally the season was going to be 26 episodes
17:48
but due to the delayed Productions of Seasons 19 and 20 after the adventure begins was rushed into their schedule
17:54
eight of the episodes were cancelled so they can begin the production of big World Big Adventures which I'll probably
18:01
get onto in a future video overall while not being the best Thomas season of All
18:07
Time season 21 was a good enough time to watch coming in at 11th Place I have
18:13
season 6 it really surprises me not putting this season at the top 10 but I
18:19
was never a big fan of season 6 even as a kid many people say that season 7 is
18:24
worse and I used to think that at first but upon my watch I think I've finally
18:30
turned the tide and I'm going with season 7 being the better season so sadly season 6 is going to be my lowest
18:37
rated season of the classic era so I think this overall season is okay there
18:42
are some good episodes in it that I Lov like Thomas and the Jet Engine and the world's strongest engine great new
18:49
characters like Elizabeth who has a wonderful voice in the US and the UK dubs salty is well salty Harvey has a
18:58
very cool design and the pack are very lovable characters but this season also
19:03
does have some problems that I'm going to talk about first of all this season looks very dull the lighting and colors
19:10
are washed out and are utterly depressing to look at and even with these shots with the warm Blue Sky it
19:16
literally looks like it's cloudy it's literally not that hard to fix look at
19:21
what pretty much everyone can do I could go on and on about these visuals but
19:26
these are what really took me out of this industrial island of Sodor Alec Baldwin's us narration is just terrible
19:33
in this season it's incredibly juring how we went from his absolutely amazing narration in season 5 to his tired out
19:41
less enthusiastic narration that literally sounds like he's reading a script it also has some pretty bad
19:47
episodes like middle engine which is just the worst episode of the whole entire Classic series and episodes with
19:54
a severe lack of continuity like Rusty saves the day which proved my point that the season feels very rushed and I think
20:01
the failure with Thomas and the Magic Railroad at the box office really affected the season and the shows
20:07
seasonal rot but even with that said season 6 was a decently good season
20:13
coming in at 10th place I have season 7 by far the most controversial season of
20:19
the entire classic era simply because of hit's further involvement for the season but I always found it to be more
20:25
enjoyable than season 6 in many aspects the visuals look way better they're not
20:31
perfect by any means as it still does look pretty flat but overall it looks much more colorful and vibrant than in
20:38
season 6 I love the new characters like Emily Arthur and Murdoch and Hell nearly
20:44
every character seemed to actually have a big role in this season and as a child I honestly found it to be more enjoyable
20:51
to watch however there are still some Bad episodes like what's the matter of Henry and the old bridge while I I've
20:58
always grown up with the US dub however watching both English dubs for this season feels kind of strange and you
21:05
want to know why well in the UK season 7 is considered as classic material and
21:11
the soundtrack is composed by mik o donel and Junior Campbell but in the US
21:17
season 7 is not considered to be classic material as it's the first hit era season it has the same intro from season
21:24
8 and the soundtrack is very different as it's compared by Robert harer and is
21:29
pretty much the same soundtrack as what you'd hear from the entire head ERA this is where I originally thought season 7
21:36
was the first hit season and not a classic season but overall despite its noticable flaws I thought season 7 was
21:44
pretty enjoyable season coming in at Ninth Place I have
21:49
season 18 this may be a surprise to a lot of people putting this season higher than season 6 and 7even it also
21:57
surprised me putting it high as well but I mostly just love this season the
22:02
animation is way better than in season 17 the sets look much more expanded and
22:08
busy even Naf station looks much more expanded with lots of signals it also
22:14
has some very gorgeous shots too and the episodes were really improved and very fun to watch my favorites include Old
22:21
Reliable Edward Toad's Adventure the Duncan episodes Missing Gator and Last
22:27
Train for Christmas now I don't think the season was perfect it's more than
22:32
you can wish for a CGI season or any season in general it has some rather mid
22:38
episodes including signals crossed and some of the Samsung episodes but overall
22:44
season 18 is my second favorite CGI season of all time coming in eighth
22:50
place I have season 20 season 20 is not only the best season of the entire brener era it might just be the best
22:58
season of the entire CGI era it honestly should have been the perfect handing for the entire show that was the original
23:05
plan but then we got Wubba and it kept on going I was mind blown seeing Donald
23:10
Douglas Daisy Mike Rex and Bert in the TV show especially Mike Rex and BT and
23:17
that their personalities stay true to the Railway Series unlike Donald and Douglas and that it actually adopted
23:24
three Railway Series books about the AR LDA engin into season of the TV show
23:30
easily the best aspect about this season by far and the restoration of Glenn
23:35
especially caught me off guard every episode is a banger well except Diesel
23:40
and the ducklings Henry is finally back to his original and true personality
23:46
from the classic Cara the animation looks as incredible as season 19 wow I
23:52
will never think that any CGI season can ever get better from here season 20 is
23:57
just the perfect CGI season it TR to warn more of our faith in the franchise before 2018 and onwards now we're
24:06
finally into the great model Seasons I have even lesser complaints about coming in at seventh place is actually not
24:13
particularly a season but to spinoff many series about Jack and the soda construction company this series was
24:20
pretty much the same as Thomas but instead of steam engines it's focused on
24:25
construction vehicles similar to season 21 this series was supposed to be a 26
24:31
episode series Standalone from the main Thomas and Friends universe but it got cancelled due to the acquisition of HIT
24:38
Entertainment so only 13 episodes released and a part of the main Thomas Universe mainly because they didn't want
24:46
to rip off their own show about talking construction vehicles that was skyrocketing in popularity those
24:52
episodes were also released on DVD the idea of a spin-off was always a
24:57
possibility especially after tugs as they were thinking of making a spin-off about
25:03
birdie Trevor Terrence or Harold then they just decided to do one about the
25:08
pack but anyways back to Jack and the pack overall it was a really nice spin-off series all the pack members are
25:15
very lovable characters all the episodes are pretty good my favorites include on
25:21
site with Thomas Kelly's Windy Day and a tale for Thomas although this one
25:26
episode right here Thomas and the moles I'm kind of confused about especially
25:31
this scene with the moles why the would they be watching a steamroller destroy all their homes and
25:37
complimenting on him for that he's good very good when their homes are literally being destroyed by some knockoff Georg
25:44
looking like I don't understand all that while Percy's scary
25:50
tale is a good enough episode it does have some Sharon Miller esque writing in it Alfie is small so is Percy
25:58
Alfie is green so is Percy I get it but overall a very good series coming in
26:06
sixth place I'll pick season 1 season 1 isn't really my favorite classic season
26:11
but I like what they were going for the season every character had perfect introductions and identity they all
26:18
stand out on their own with their Musical theme this season provided some of my favorite episodes to come out of
26:25
the show like the flying kipper is easily my favorite I think it has to do with the fact that it looks visually
26:31
different from the rest of the episodes in this season along with having this intense crash scene 2 obviously but
26:39
other than that the only reason this season is at sixth place simply because it's slower than its successors with not
26:45
a lot of action and that's fine it's the Show's first season and they just started their career I don't outright
26:52
dislike any of the season 1 episodes aside from Thomas's train but they're episodes that are quite slow paced like
26:59
Thomas and the gard and Toby the tram engine again I don't dislike either of them but scenes like this take a long
27:06
time to introduce Toby look how long the shot lingers I also want to talk about
27:11
Ringo Stars narration because this is something I never talked about before now I get that this is his first time
27:18
narrating but he sounds like he's reading a script the whole time but Carlin's narration is Miles better
27:25
overall season 1 isn't my favorite classic season but it's the perfect
27:30
introduction to the entire series coming in fifth please is not a Thomas related
27:35
season but the sister showc called tugs I know almost everyone especially in the
27:41
US forgot about tugs after it got cancelled after the studio got bankrupt
27:46
tugs is a shortlived sister show that tran during 1989 after two successful
27:52
seasons of Thomas and was also released on the VHS it's well known for its dark
27:57
and M moments and tones which makes it feel like this is more for older kids than with Thomas the Tank Ken the
28:04
characters were all Charming the Practical effects are topnotch the soundtrack is breathtaking just this
28:11
whole series in general is amazing I highly recommend you watch it and some of the videos about the series for more
28:18
information coming in fourth place I have season 4 I absolutely love this
28:23
season the visuals in this season are some of the most beautiful looking visuals of all time this is where I
28:29
thought this entire location was real as a kid I really loved seeing the Narrow
28:35
Gauge Engines along with making half of the Season focus on them which was a pretty smart move my favorite episodes
28:43
being Grand puff and Sleeping Beauty but back to the Narrow Gauge Engines I'm guessing the original plan was to make
28:49
all the Narrow Gauge Engines all red and Rusty all black like in The Railway Series books but then they realized that
28:56
they wouldn't Market that well so they made a smart move to make them different colors sir handle is blue Peter Sam is
29:03
green Duncan is yellow all of they have distinct and unique personalities like
29:08
in The Railway Series even Rusty a character that didn't do much in the books has way more personality and has
29:15
some great episodes characters like Edward and James don't have a lead role
29:20
however but they still have some memorable moments unlike the newer Seasons where they'll just sideline them
29:26
just for Thomas to be the lead role in every episode and the music in this season is very beautiful there may be
29:33
some issues I have for this season but overall a great season coming in at
29:38
third place I have season five wow what a season this season was where the
29:44
classic series was at its absolute Peak it literally gave us some of the most intense frightening and heartwarming
29:51
episodes ever put to screen this 100% feels like something the entire family
29:57
can watch we get the stormy episodes like cranky bugs Toby and the flood and
30:02
James and the trouble of trees and of course the spooky and disturbing mist of Haunted Henry Stephanie gets lost Toby's
30:11
Discovery and dunan gets spooked and then you got the physical world basically collapsing with put upon Percy
30:18
and Rusty and the Boulder and we get the Epic runaways and crashes with way too
30:23
many to count this season also 100% has the best color levels it definitely
30:29
feels like a warm summer holiday and a lot of stories and the engines colors
30:35
are just so satisfying I love the gloss on the Onin Alec Baldwin's narration is
30:41
fantastic in this season I love how he can do every character's voices as it just gives them way more personality I
30:48
could go on and on about this season but this is where the Classic Hair was at its peak coming in at third place I have
30:56
season 2 season 2 is far the most underrated Thomas season of all time
31:02
this season took everything that made season one so good and made it even better and more Grinny this time around
31:09
George Carlin's narration was at an all-time high as well and Ringo star's
31:14
narration was majorly improved there are sometimes where he does better than George Carlin the new characters are
31:20
what really stand out to me my favorites are Donald and Douglas Bill and Ben and
31:25
Bo Cole and their introduction was was perfect this season is even focused on the gritty industrial Railways rather
31:32
than just scenery literally look at that much detail they put in here how many
31:38
model kits did they have to break up to make scrap everywhere not to mention the actual water and harbor sets the
31:45
destructions of the brake Vans are brutal even the one with the face it's also a lot more mature not just in
31:52
scenery but that it has more interesting life lessons I've never heard the word deputation in my life neither have I
31:59
heard people or kids use it well here's something for the other kids I also
32:04
appreciate the developments and interactions on most of these engines Thomas is at his absolute best here he
32:11
doesn't always have a kind soul him and Percy aren't always nice to each other I
32:16
think my favorite character interactions are Percy and Gordon rather than trying to boast or boss him around Gordon is
32:24
just fed up and annoyed with Percy's obliviousness like a kid asking his dad annoying questions but then you have
32:30
James being an enjoyable narcissist Henry is pretentious and Edward had an
32:36
amazing character ARG throughout this entire season he's getting old and the other engines won't let him hear the end
32:43
of it but is he still useful the answer is yes so there we get the Sapa episode
32:48
of Edwards exploit which was the perfect T to his character Arc in season 2
32:54
overall season 2 is easily my favorite classic season season of all time second
32:59
favorite if you will so coming in that first place I have the one and only
33:05
season 3 definitely not perfect like all seasons as they have some issues but the
33:11
first 16 episodes of season 3 are phenomenal it takes already established characters and expands on them further
33:18
we get to see a lot of things like James's Kish side Gordon's wise and kind
33:23
side we get to see Henry's soft side we get to see Thomas responsible side every
33:29
one of the main casts get their time to shine and the new characters are really fantastic Oliver is a great addition to
33:36
Duck's Branch line and the two have great chemistry together balgi is a humorous one-off character who gets his
33:43
come upin and Mavis is a young and feisty diesel who serves as a challenge for Toby to tackle the visuals of this
33:50
season are at their absolute best just watch Thomas Percy and the post train
33:56
and it will speak for itself and I really love the orchestral music in this season it really makes this show
34:02
feel like a movie at this point George Carin shines once again this season
34:08
overall is an absolute Gem and something I will cherish for until my last breath just like all classic
34:19
seasons and there you have my rankings for all Thomas Seasons they are very inconsistent in quality and this is what
