I like Thomas the tank engine.

Hope you enjoyed, and let me know what you think! What franchise doesn't get enough appreciation?

    Wow! A whole college thesis on Thomas? Amazing! This is going to be so good!
  • I mean Sonic X found a way to explain how Sonic and friends got to Station Square but did so in a way that made sense within the pre existing canon.

    based tiernan (this thumbnail is so fucking funny and i mean that positively. it brings me dread and joy)
  • I don't understand why this doesn't have more views and you don't have more subscribers anyway i'll add 1 to both lists

    7:07 im suprised you didn't mention how the brenner era also brought back RWS story adaptations (something that was last done way back in Season 4)

    I graduated college in May this year, and I wish I could’ve written a thesis or essay of some kind on Thomas and Friends. I feel like anyone that reads your thesis that isn’t familiar with the franchise would be pretty shocked. Nice work!

    What an amazing video. It's really nice to see something talk positively. Discuss the fan stuff. Yes, there is definitely lots of bad, like any fan base, but i just wish not everything was all seen so black and white
  • I like franchise about Multi-colored locomotives on Fictional British Island, too

    Actually the reason why Thomas is seen as a joke is because of they think the faces look goofy ahh or they think the faces look creepy.
  • @G.E.Trains
    Correction at 2:49 they actually used Gauge 1 models not O gauge. Other than that great video, very good for your first video!
  • I hope one day Mattel lose Thomas somehow! This franchise is in DIRE need of a PROPER reboot!

    Wow... I'm gonna be honest man you've inspired me! Going into Third Year of my University Drama degree I have my dissertation coming up, so this is really making me think about doing it on Thomas... cheers man
