@Phanto thats not the point. If I were to go with your words of evolving with the world, i eould really say that Instead of EVOLVING, this series is DE-VOLVING. It did had the GODLIKE Brenner Era. But Mattel does not care. All they see is a selling point. They literally dont care. We see something in this franchise taht Mattel does not: VALUE. They DO NOT Care. They don't give a shit about what Wilbert Awdry created. They dumbed it down so fucking much its ANNOYING. From a great show it went down to a BRAINDEAD show for BRAINDEAD children. IT REALLY KILLS THE FANDOM. Thats all i wanted to say. Good Bye.

I'm so glad i grew up with the classic TTTE and that's even strange because the period when I used to watch Thomas was very far from its boom, indeed I used to watch Thomas between 2009 and 2013, the time when CGI Thomas was born so it was more likely to watch that one but luckly I found this TV channel, I think called JimJam, where old TTTE's episodes were transmitted. Thomas is my childhood, I still remember coming home from school and go play with my trains and watch Thomas. That was the thing many, many years ago. Those are what I call gold times.

fun fact for the 2021 reboot and how it won't actually entertain it's target audience I did a little experiment. I pulled up a picture of the CGI Thomas and then the 2021 reboot Thomas on my phone and showed it to my younger sister who is in Mattel's Target Audience and I asked her "which is Thomas?" and she said that the CGI and Model variants of Thomas were Thomas, however when I showed her the 2021 reboot Thomas she said "that is NOT Thomas" thus showing PROOF that the so called target audience of the new rebooted Thomas the tank engine for 2021 will NOT entertain the audience aimed for! it is time Now or never to stop Mattel from making such a HUGE mistake.

I will open a museum and have the original models from Drayton Manor repaired on display for all to see and take pictures No Touching tho. Have all the history of Thomas and Friends and the RWS history set up on display as well as a model layout of the island of sodor with all the engines run activity and accurate as there tv show models.
