I agree, this sucks

This is just like the sonic movie but worst

@Bashar- Al-Asaad That's a thinker!

It looks ugly

Not with the Jw toy line

You really think nimrods like them couldn't mess that up?

@Egg T I only have a passing interest in my childhood show - but although it's odd that grown adults are really into it, think about it - Adult Thomas fans are often connecting this to an interest in model railroading. They are also often interested in the real railroading history behind the show. Then there's the nostalgia for something they loved as kids. Lets then glance to another place where there are adult fans for a kid's show. My little pony. You do you, people that are into that. I can have a passing interest in the animation. But I find bronies rather creepy.

@@WasatchWind Eh, to each their own. Some people enjoy Rugrats, others Spongebob, some more still perhaps for Dora the Explorer. We all have our taste. No one can take that from anyone.

Not even the fandom, I guarantee a little kid will pic quality stop motion animation over this Flash trash (I know there are CGI ones but they were not the ones I grew up on but they look fine enough.”

Knowing Mattel, they will probably fail that job like how Patrick fails his job in the original episode that this scene is from.

Yeah, the last time I watched Thomas was when when i was 2 or 3, but I still think that this reboot looks awful.

I not even watch tomas, has been years the last time but this is a downgrade from what i remember

It’s sad to watch your childhood get ruined. Why do this?!

@@MJHootHoot for money :/ actually the emprises not think on nothing anymore than money, they keep using hashtags and financing ideologys just for more clients for them not because they are "good"

@@gabrieleugeniomenegazzo9243 yeah.....

Ok boo sike dead meme

Still have lots of VHS tapes in the house from when I was a kid. Good times.

Normally I wouldn't say keep your VHS tapes, but if vinyl records are back, then you can do whatever you want, someone's just gonna make you or someone else buy it again.

Hard facts

I still have VHS tapes from when I was a kid and collecting more for my future family to enjoy. My kids will only know the true Thomas the train. Not that baby garbage. I mean look how they've mascuerd my boy!

I'm not part of the fandom and still pissed at this reboot

I haven't watched Thomas since I was 8 and this is hilarious.

@@offscreen6578 SAME

Theres a Thomas fandom?!!!

@@theslanksterwam561 apparently so

It's called "Give the show to someone who hates the show" they ruin everything they try, so when they try it they will give it to someone who loves it.

@@Mills5041 so kinda like Homer when he tried to make the barbecue grill. Only difference is that Homer felt bad about what he created, said hater wouldn't.

Hopefully not hot wheels

Make merchandise.

It’s Bob the Builder

Exactly, sometimes more is less. Mattel is just the latest victim of an ongoing trend where companies reboot their franchises and put little effort into them to save money and cash in on an active fandom. Let's hope this ends up like the sonic movie and they decide to do a 180° on the show

Please 😊

Exactly!

They made the design cheaper to animate so now they can pump that shit out faster but it looks like something animated by discount PBS kids.

Teletubbies wasn't quite as charming Thomas but I certainly wouldn't use it as an insult!

Don't rip Thomas, give him a proper burial lol

@@lysander.o.c.3580 but where are we going to do it at? I propose Henry’s Forest.

@@notophatsallowed I was thinking the same thing

I'm so happy that TTTE has an active and generally unified fandom that knows how to make fun/ engaging fan content

same

IK like this is a fever dream

I was into Thomas as a toddler, grew out of it, and then had a weird phase for a couple of years around age 10 or 11 where I got back into it and joined the fandom. That was over a decade ago now and I'm still a bit embarrassed about it lol. So it's been around for a long while.

@@Goolix_Aero "over a decade ago" Doubt

The adult Thomas fandom has been a thing for years. And the algorithm can get weird.

@@case8837 But why though

I was waiting for this... As i have a literal room full of mattel toys that are jurassic

Hasbro with the jurassic world toyline: baby Patrick

@@ferociousrazordino3581 kenner with the original Jurassic Park toyline: *Buff Patrick *

Kenner in heaven sees Mattel's Jurassic World toys. *my true successor*

Mattel has less brain cells than me, and that is saying something

Yes

Yes

Yes

Mattel should go out of business because of this!

Probably what the wiki says, two seasons and two specials.

Watch my YTP thomas did something to him

Why it’s called season 25 probably to relate it to the originals for obvious purposes. The third is simple. They can’t get rid of her since she’s the African representative. Then they got rid of Rebecca and replaced her with Kana to be the Asian (Probably more precisely Japanese) representation.

Is Oliver in it

I doubt any gwr, Scottish, other outcast characters will be in it

these types of comments are really annoying, everything has a fanbase bro, if it was popular before, it has a fanbase, if it has some attention or its popular, it has a fanbase, the fanbase has been around since 1945 everything will have a fanbase.

@samson pessah yes but I didnt watch that show because it was for girls

@samson pessah using autism as a insult? Classic

@@davidantoniocamposbarros7528 He wasn't using it as an insult. Studies actually say that most Thomas fans are. I'm one of them.

Krabs is Cristophers father you mean? Rev.W.Awdry

Rev. W. Awdry is passed away

@@fadhlulhadi1434 still he created thomas

Ok sorry

*feces

Thomas was my life when I was little, Now years later the went and Bob the Builder-ed him

How old is your brother, because if even the target audience hates this reboot, then that is saying something.

@@NerdyChocolateLabradoodle Damn thats sad actually holy shit. Even the kids dont like their shit..

god.... if kids don't like this reboot then only LITRAL ZOMBIES can

um hes 11 but still

finally, someone who thinks baby spin offs are a BAD idea!

@@dunkanbulk14 Im just noticing this and youre damn right

@@justcallmekai1554 Muppet Babies was a mistake, pass it around

Also, Edgar Rice Burroughs incorporated is working on a Spin-off babies version of Tarzan and Jane with 41 Entertainment.

I heard steve hillenburg never wanted any spongebob spin-offs

Basically, the corporate cunts at Mattel has been milking the Thomas franchise for money for many years. Then they thought making it 2D would be cheaper and bring them more money instead of CGI. It's basically a big ass middle finger to first seasons, model making, writing and the first ever books.

Time to put thomas in a jar and... well, you know the rest

@@the_steam_modeller9810 It actually surprises me they'd want to make 2D animation when most of the popular kids' animated movies and shows are CGI. Think Illumination Studios and such. You'd think CGI would do just fine

Indeed.

Honestly bro, I was a Super fan back in the day and still watch some of the older episodes to this day, but as u may know with this pandering concept sweeping most things In today's day and age including childhood favourites like Thomas, it was bound to turn into what it is now, and being a 20 year old adult like myself...The shit makes me wanna fuckin cry ong. 😤😤😤🤐🙃😭😭😭😭😭

Chad TAF fans

I dont get it either

kzfaq.info/get/bejne/mKp0eaZ2xqncaas.html

It’s because people are allowed to like whatever they want, also most adult fans are more into the older stuff which was more so made as a thing that all ages could enjoy while teaching young children lessons, there’s even a crap ton of world building stuff that young children wouldn’t be able to understand well, so it isn’t weird at all.

@@Charliereed1106 well the show sucks balls the creator is ok at best

@@Charliereed1106 like okay, I get that, I mean really im 19 and I still watch cartoons, but like... I dont know why anyone expected anything more from Mattel. If you like Thomas, fine, its not going to change. But you just cant expect a show coming out in the modern-day to hold up to something like that. Its disappointing sure, but not unexpected.

Same, I will call them until they all expire

Oh yes me too

Yeah, same. I'm feeling kind of cross right now.

The very art style they're using is part of a plot to degrade ascetics. They're pumping out the same ugly cookie cutter crap from two art schools. Cal arts style exists for one reason to mass produce cheap ugly looking cartoons with little to no effort and to produce political social propaganda.

You have

​@@EspressoTyme MLP:FiM was weirdly right-wing, but it worked well. If the reboot is "woke", that's going to be a big unnecessary change...

@samson pessah someone has to have already made a pony with a confederate battle flag as a cutie mark right?

They will, don't worry

@@lysander.o.c.3580 Really are they that close to bankruptcy?

@@xprojectsa3627 their stocks have been going down and the reboot will be the killing blow

@@lysander.o.c.3580 Damn, I don't wish for workers to lose their jobs but Mattel really deserves this given what they've done to Thomas. I miss the old classic TOMY toys, now those were top quality

There's fans for the most obscure things you can imagine, of course there was gonna be a thomas fandom

you can't just be a beloved kids show since 1984 and not have a fan base my guy, not to mention the books that have been around since the '40s

I don't know too much about the show but I do know when I used to watch it it was on PBS kids and I really enjoyed the talking trains and the adventures they had in stuff it was the animated one it wasn't like in 2020 or something probably like at least 2017 I watched it the graphics where just pwefect

Same here. It's a good thing I still own all my VHSs from my childhood.

Bricks him up into a tunnel with no way out.

So in a nutshell Mattel bought the rights to Thomas the Tank Engine and they are making a crappy 2d reboot where Thomas is like 6 years old or something

Make that 4

@@itsthegasman449 the kids of today would watch that cuz they don’t have a taste for good shows nowadays.

@@WeirdVerdeGamer don't blame the new generation,even kids are hating on the reboot

@@luisupro8787 Really?

The TTTE fandom vs Mattel in a nutshell.

Bro, that's everyone in the comments now.

kzfaq.info/get/bejne/rLdxf6uBqMq7d2Q.html

Wait it what

The fans that grew up with it and moved on with their lives, however some prefer to stick to being a 3 year old kid and complain about a reboot that's not at all intended for them on the Internet.

@@imadshell1512 Well now I'm going to watch actual grown up stuff. Have fun with your foetus show. Bet that's a fun conversation. "So what shows do you like?" Then you'll have to hang your head in shame and say "It's a children's tv show I watched at the age of four and complained about on the Internet. Plus the show was about a train with a face" Might as well ask them to beat you up outside the bar after that. I watched Thomas when I was little, but I quit before the show way before it spawned a brony-esque fandom.....and you and I both know how good those bronies are

@@joeydrewstudios321 Aren't you subbed to people who talk about kids cartoons and video games? By your logic, have fun getting beat up too.

kzfaq.info/get/bejne/rLdxf6uBqMq7d2Q.html

Im not a thomas fan but i respect the fanbase and how loyale it is

Considering how old the the franchise is (76 years of existence),it's natural that a fanbase would be created

@@davidantoniocamposbarros7528 true lol

Was the Lego fanbase really the first to be mocked?

Yeah, at least she was TRYING to stay true to the series (even if she didn't understand it very well), Mattel on the other hand just doesn't care.

Ah, a toddler.

Yeah because it's not like realistic gives most kids a reason to own actual model trainset or that the use of actual sets actually makes them feel like they're on the island of Sordor.

Most likely because it will be cheaper to animate

Guess you weren't as much of a fan of Thomas as a lot of people.

@@mitchellhancock7920 nah I ate that shit up as a toddler

Think about one thing that you loved as a child, and then you watch it getting milked, pretty much the whole reboot thing all over again For a non-fan it doesn't matter, for a fan, it hurts

There is an adult lego fanbase

@@brandonsaquariumsandterrar8985 so?

The mlp fandom is actually still really active, I see new fanwork posted every day.

But When It WAS Fast-Paced ( A Runaway, A Crash ) It Was So Exiting Seeing Stuff Get Destroyed And Flung Around

@Let's Go I completely agree,the old episodes were amazing and I watched them all the time. But Thomas the Tank engine isn't something we're gonna watch if they brought the old style back,at least I doubt a lot of the haters would. I don't like the style but it's meant for little kids who will enjoy it.

@Let's Go Yes technically all non adult based or inappropriate shows are "for all ages" but it's aimed towards toddlers and kids to watch,and parents to watch with.

@Let's Go Same with other cartoons that even older people still watch like spongebob or Pokemon(I still watch both of them) Yes all ages can and will watch. But the target audience is younger and the writers are going to create it in their favor. This is something the writers of Pokemon have even stated. And it goes for Thomas the Tank engine as well

@@JamTube01232 that's not a excuse to make it trash

Man Ray:This is Star Wars correct? Patrick:Yup Man Ray:And you say Disney ruined it? Patrick:That's right Man Ray:But before Disney bought it the fanbase gave Lucas a hard time,Sent a kid spiraling into depression,oversexualizes Leia in her slave outfit,Lucas made countless rereleases of his original movies with horrid CGI that hurts the visuals,threw writers and artists under the bus by retconning the EU to sell more merch, the fanbase has forced the actors/Actresses out of social media because of constant harassment, and make it hard for newcomers to get in the franchise because they're scared of getting bullied if they like the new movies Patrick:Makes sense to me Man Ray:So Disney isn't at fault then Patrick:BuT DisNEy RuInEd StAr WaRs

@@albertthepeacock8020 for starters I actually loved the prequels from day one. Secondly, you can’t simply generalize the fanbase and just go off that. I liked rogue one and rebels so, yeah DiSnEy bAd really seems to be the only thing you assume us older fans think right, lol

So: Mattel bought the rights for Thomas and friends and now it's turning into a lazy 2D cash grab

Last I've seen literally every piece of children's media has an adult fandom, as surprising as anyone might consider it

kzfaq.info/get/bejne/rLdxf6uBqMq7d2Q.html

I haven’t seen or read anything Thomas related in years, maybe almost two decades. But face the facts! Thomas and a few other things are what made our childhoods so great, plus as a train enthusiast, along with many other children of the 90’s, Thomas the Tank Engine is near and dear to our hearts.

Thomas was live action
