When the composer has more IQ than the writers:

Ah yes,the music is the only reason I watch this absolutely garbage barge of a Thomas era.

I agree in Edward, its okay to have her flawed as long its reasonable, there was this fan rewrite from Brendam production of the Edward strikes out that show Edward flaw rather well, and beautiful ending and morale. So i agree, Edward can be flawed, if written right, it can be a good story material.

14:25 Sounds Like It Could Come From The Great Discovery.

Unpopular opinion (I think): the Bachman Thomas is the most boring Bachman Thomas and friends model of all, and usually (at least for me,) it tends to run rather poorly on older style layouts because of how light it is. (I’m serious. I tried to mod one with extra weights, and it still doesn’t work. Meantime the other engines like Edward, James, and the big engines all run beautifully.)

Heres my opinion:the nitrogen era is better than BWBA

Not only have we reached the 100,000 Channel Views Milestone, but today 29th August '24, we also reached the 500 Subscribers Milestone! I think this video suffices as a thank you for both special occasions. Now, as I said in the video, feel free to make suggestions that are suitable to celebrate the achievements. The idea that I like the best will be made into a proper video. You can suggest as many ideas as you like, but it is important to me that the idea comes from you guys, because I just wanna give something back to you for helping me reach such a huge milestone. The amount of gratitude that I have for your infinite amount of support and loyalty simply cannot be put into words. I'll never take anything for granted and while a regular upload schedule is out of the question from now on, I'll still try my best to work on RUclips videos as actively as possible. Thank you everyone for giving this channel a purpose - none of this had any value if it weren't for you. - Zach

Unpopular opinion I don’t like season 4 and some of the season 3 and 2 episodes. to put it simply the screwed up Mainline engines, Enterprising Engines, duke the lost engine, and the skarloey stories in general. when you compare the original source material and how they present it in the show. it is executed poorly.

The best music here is from Hiro’s Backstory. It just sounds so legendary compared to the whimsical music from Hartshorne. The worst is Firey Flynn. A abysmal episode with a bad thene

I've got THE unpopular opinion to end all unpopular opinions.........."Sodor's Legdnd of the Lost Treasure"........ain't that good.

Totally unrelated but what exactly is that remix of "Mario's Rainbow Castle" at the start of the video called? It sounds wonderfull.

Even if you prefer Mike and Junior, you have to admit Robert Hartshorne's music perfectly fits the tone of The Great Discovery. Mysterious, epic, cheery, so much variety in the movie. It's great.

Congratulations!

Congratulations!!! This is amazing, man!!!

Congratulations you deserve it 🍾

Congrats! 🎉

Hit and nitrogen had better toys than the Brenner era

I really like nitrogen’s animation although I just wish it was more saturated since it looks quite dull

1: I agree 2: Thats why I like the show as a whole 3: They are good for what they are 4: I don't value one over the other 5: It depends on how you look at her 6: same with emily 7: MINORITY???!!!!! JUST LOOK WHAT THEY DID TO OUR EDWARD OUR BULGY'S BRIDGE OUR AND HARVEY IS A NOBODY for this episode only. 8: I mean sue but just it needs some tuning 9:I mean for slice of life 10: my theory is sodor fallout messed with the engines memory

I don't like your solution for Opinion №7. Absolute stupidity! When has Harvey ever been boastful? He's the exact opposite of that! A better solution would be if the characters that are being mean to him are narrowed down and get repercussions. Let's say James and Gordon are the bullies and Percy decides to join them because he's overworked and isn't thinking straight, like in Season 5.

For Opinion №6 I think Thomas and Percy took a page out of Toby's book and decided to be agents of chaos like him. Also, glad to see I'm not the only one who sees Henry gradually becoming nicer.

HiT Era Emily is absolutely garbage. I don't have a problem with her being bossy, but with her being arrogant and "know it all", that's just not Emily.

Hank had loads of potential. 1. The US fully switched over to diesel a decade before the UK, so he could've comforted the Sodor engines 2. The PRR K4 (Hank's bases) served as the basis for the LNER A1's Boiler, so there's the connection to Gordon 3. The K4 is stronger than the 9F, so a story with Hank and Murdoch 4. Hank and Connor are from the largest rival railroads in US History

Unlike the RWS, I feel like Sodor is somewhere else other than in the UK (although I should say that they still have landmarks leading to England) - please do not argue with me

I definitely agree with your take about the Nitrogen animation, I hadn’t really thought about it before but I totally see what you’re saying and I think you’re right

I respect you opinion on #4 & 6 but agreed with the rest, especially with #10

My favorite theme from the Nitrogen Era is easily the ending theme from Hero of the Rails, when Thomas and Hiro say goodbye to each other!

You're definitely not in the minority about your opinion on Harvey to the Rescue. Everyone who I've heard talk about it have said it's either decent or awful.

My most unpopular Thomas opinion is, shipping characters is ok but only as a thought experiment, or a joke to piss off RWS die-hards and others...

THANK YOU I LOVE NITROGENS ANIMATION

#1 - I do wonder what the adventure begins would be like had it been animated by nitrogen studios. #2 - that's true. #3 - true to a certain extent #4 - agree & disagree #5 - her hit era persona is better in my opinion #6 - agree (though sometimes it depends) #7 - disagree (there is a rewrite to the episode that I kinda like thou) #8 - slowly agreeing (there's also his impatience showcased in Edwards Day out and Berties Chase) #9 - exactly; especially Thomas and the twins and Jock the new engine #10 - you're not the first one to believe this and rightfully so.

Yea

That was very nice. I do agree with 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, and 8. The others I respect your opinion and Neville as well. I never read the Awardy books so I don’t have an opinion. I always preferred Duck over Oliver. I do feel bad that I used to criticize Emily’s portrayal in Hit Era, even in Calling All Engine, when she was in the same situation Murdoch was in, in Peace And Quiet. All because I had to listen to those immature and toxic man and woman child in Social Media. Which is one of the reasons why I hate Social Media. I have four unpopular opinions. Rebecca is a good and funny character. Thomas And The Magic Railroad is the second Thomas movie. Toby is better in the Brenner Era because it shows his more human side by being scared and insecure of stuff anyone especially his age would be except Signals Crossed, while still being the voice of reason and his relationship with Henrietta is very nice. Toby is definitely one of the best characters. The Brenner Era has better Christmas episodes like Last Train For Christmas the best Thomas Christmas episode, Perfect Gift, Diesel’s Ghosty Christmas, and Santa’s Letters.

Even though the Brenner era is better in terms of writing, the Nitrogen era at least had more variety with rolling stock as time went on! I agree with you on that!

Glad to see episodes such as Flour Power get noticed by you, there at other episodes that I think are underrated: Thomas's Milkshake Muddle - Thomas was written well, a bit of conflict between him and Emily lead to him messing up, but was able to make the situation right again without any kind of plot convenience. Thomas and the Storyteller - A 3 strikes formula episode which works well and doesn't have thomas behaving selfish, but helping his friends. The episode also adheres to railway safety protocol, such as being dangerous for an engine to have no whistle. Duncan and the Coal Mine - A Duncan and Rusty episode that does the subvert of the expectation and Duncan is his normal self. Percy and the Oil Painting - Probably Percy's best Hit-Era episode, a 3 strikes formula episode used to its full potential, not to mention the voice that Angelis gave to the painter which worked very well with the structure of the story.

Great hot takes One of mine is that The Old Bridge is a great episode

29:03 well except Percy he did get some consequences otherwise he wouldn’t have been the one in the crash

Unpopular opinion: George Carlin is a better narrator than Ringo Starr.

I'm going to regret this one but I honestly don't care. Season 8 is part of the classic series and Calling All Engines is the end of the Era. The steam Engines make amends with the diesels at the end so I like to believe the rest of model thomas is it's own Canon and the classic Era ends with the movie. That's just my opinion though so please don't hurt me.

Okay, here are my 4 unpopular opinions. -Season 5 seems to me to be anything but Thomas' best season, in fact I don't even consider it a great thing Before any purist fan of the classic Thomas era wants to kill me, let me explain why I'm saying this. Many fans wanted to sell it to me as if it were Second Avenue of Christ, the best of the best of Thomas... and when I watched it in full a few days ago... I didn't find the supposedly "INCREDIBLE" Season 5. In fact, this season has things that I hated enormously, Gordon became an unbearable jerk to the max and by far the worst season of the character in the model era for me I also really hated the daytime lighting in season 5... bro the lighting was just horrible (And no, the fact that it was meant to be more cinematic is no excuse) Y en episodios a lo mucho como 10-12 me gustaron....de resto o los considero meh o mediocres And in episodes at most like 10-12 I liked....the rest I consider them meh or mediocre In fact, season 5 is so far away from me that it is the season of Thomas that I watch the least...at most I watched it about 9-12 times I am not saying that the season is bad or crap...but simply season 5 is the season of Thomas that I would say...it is simply not that good 2- I prefer the Gullane and Hit eras more than the Classic era Yes, I know the hit era has a lot of problems and had quite a few mistakes... but man, the Peaks and best moments of the hit era just seem better to me than the classic era, the lighting, scenery and views always remained consistent in quality (at least seasons 8-10) In the classic era you either had amazing lighting and aesthetics (Seasons 3-4) or you had shitty lighting and aesthetics (seasons 2 and 5) Not to mention that many of my favorite episodes from the model era are here -Thomas saves the day -Squeak, creak and roll -The Great Edward -All the Henry episodes (except Henry's mistake) -The Emily episodes -Don't tell Thomas -Percy's Big Mistake -You can Toby -Duncan and the old mine -The James episodes -Molly's special (I think it's already You understand what I mean x"D) And with Gullane, man, watching those seasons for yourself and seeing that they are great and amazing seasons without having to copy the general opinion of the fandom is great (and by copy I mean when certain people just repeat what the big Thomas youtuber on duty said) In fact, unlike Hit, I consider that Gullane doesn't have any bad episodes (even its worst episodes are mediocre or forgettable at best) and its Peaks and best moments... ufffff incredible Unlike the classic era, which has some episodes that I do consider bad (especially certain episodes from season 5) 3- People who keep complaining about Reebot are simply pathetic One thing is that you don't like AEG, that's respectable...but another thing is saying that people who like AEG aren't fans of Thomas or even saying that those who like AEG are autistic.......it's a huge difference And the most annoying thing about this matter is that most of the people who criticize AEG are BLESSED ADULTS OF 20-30 YEARS OLD FOR JESUS CHRIST..... And I'll make it clear once and for all, no, I'm not a fan of AEG (I'm neutral with Reebot and I prefer to stay that way) but I hate this kind of fans who only spend their time annoying and complaining about a Reebot that they'll never see in their life (Funny that Thomas is supposed to be a series that teaches you lessons and 80% of the fandom doesn't give a damn about the lessons lol) 4- The exaggerated realism in Thomas bores me a lot I'll say it right away, I never liked a fully realistic Thomas before or now... honestly I find it very boring And before the typical "NOOOOOO IT'S THAT REALISM IS THE MOST IMPORTANT THING IN THOMAS, NO YOU'RE NOT A FAN IF YOU DON'T UNDERSTAND THAT" comes Let me tell the one reading this, that I don't even consider realism the most important thing in Thomas Was it something that made him stand out? Yes The most important thing? No What was important to me in Thomas were the stories that many could identify with or empathize with the characters, the development and how they grew or changed, their charisma and personality, incredible stories either because of their simplicity or how complex they are and the lessons and messages they gave you That's what I always considered the most important thing in Thomas... not if a locomotive doesn't have a 100% realistic crash (Let's be honest, not even the classic series is 100% realistic) That's why I love things like TATMR in concept and idea (how they executed it is another thing) But I still love TATMR in that realm Of course I have my limits, I also don't want them to go overboard with the fantasy like they did with BWBA

I haven’t really seen the vid, but do u think the 1st 7 seasons could be a separate canon from seasons 8-24

The worst thing about Oliver in the cgi series is the size of him I hope that if they bring back the cgi series they make him his original size

I really don’t like your mischaracterization of Harvey, it completely throws off his journey in the series

Here are my Top 10 Unpopular Opinions 10.) All the Girls Around the World is a bad song. 9.) I like Bash and Dash. 8.) The All Engines Go Motorized and Push Along toys are better than the CGI ones. 7.) Hornby is better than Bachmann 6.) BWBA is the absolute worst Era of Thomas in history. 5.) Carly's All Engines Go design is better than her Original Series design. 4.) Edward Strikes Out is an alright episode. 3.) All Engines Go is overhated. 2.) Seasons 8-13 and Season 16 are underrated. 1.) Don't be Silly, Billy is my all time favourite episode.

#3 - agree #5 - *Yes! Finally! Thank You!* #9 - I don’t love every book he wrote; both of Chris’ Skarloey books, Wilbert, the 50th anniversary book and Victoria are particularly skippable. #10 - because of those numerous technicalities, I too consider Models and CGI separate canons!
