@MakeUpATrain @thatonetraingu1 I mean, not really. There’s a lot of talking Luke Skywalker toys. Not many of them are voiced by Mark Hammil.

@thatonetraingu1 in fairness, there's a significant difference between giving a 3rd party production materials that end up unused, versus a company making its own toys that are intended to promote a new show and not basing those toys off the show

"why would they sell product that doesn't reflect the final product of the show"
I mean...
LeaderOfTheTracks@LOTTracks
@MrE4RidesAgain @catmia_arg they’re so obviously not the same. why would they sell toys if of a product that doesn’t reflect the final product of the show

@NKSchwarzwalder In their defence, they said they no longer agree with it.

@CoolCar161 @tomcoll71721810 @SRats1977 @starlightfan02 Yeah hi, since im in this now. I heavily disagree with my old stance. Nia's patterns have a beauty to them, but maybe just take her name out the middle, add more patterns in place and shrink them a tick and its more easy on the eyes, literal looks wise. Kinda like Ashima's looks
English
Thank the stars that Lucifer never talked about Nia's patterns again after this, 'cause wtf is this take
tom collins@tomcoll71721810
@NKSchwarzwalder “Nia’s patterns cannot be removed due to historical reasons” is an invalid line of thinking just let people redesign her how they see fit
English
@tomcoll71721810 @Sudric_Bob @SRats1977 @starlightfan02 Idk if I agree with @C_JuniorsMagic on this one tbh.
Nia’s livery is not random. Her livery was changed because the KUR were a colonial British railway.
Show writers consulted the Royal African Society and the United Nations.
English
I think people are misunderstanding the issue here. It isn't 'oh you can't customise Nia without being racist'
The issue is that saying Nia isn't a 'real sudrian' unless you remove her cultural roots and when a black person says 'hey this isn't cool' everyone dogpiles on her.

@MakeUpATrain Injoke between a few friends that liking season 12 and Jeremy makes you a bigot (a reference to someone from a long time ago) and I’m just comparing that (hj) test to the classic monkey misogyny test
English
Monkey misogyny test for the Thomas fandom
SUPER E.D@TurboThomasFan
Unpopular Opinions on Jeremy?
English
As someone who has done research on colonial era Kenya
It is. Telling. When Thomas fans try to make Nia “better” or “less offensive” by removing her patterns and slapping her in the KUR or EAR liveries. The railway that literally only exists for a British man to justify-

@mrslowking642 Imma be honest. I don’t think this is the own you think it is. 😭

@PenPlays_ This creator set is so weird to me. Everything feels like it’s missing something.
English
The Disneyland Main Street USA set just feels like an 18+ version of this Main Street Creator set
Neat that it’s consistent, I guess, but this Creator set was also one of the fastest sets at its size to clearance out and retire
Idk how to feel
PenPlays@PenPlays_
LEGO Disney has revealed a set based on Disneyland’s Main Street USA, in honor of its 70th Anniversary Each building boasts an interior, decorated with plenty of new Mickey-ear elements Launching June 1st, this set somehow hides 3,899pcs at a $400 price tag worth gawking at

y'all let that happen btw you let one of the greatest animated sequels flop and now we're getting shit like this

@Vincente22films lol there was a bunch of image drops a while ago and I was like ‘wait I saw these in a discord before huh’
English
I’m 100% confident I’ve seen dozens of unposted Thomas BTS pics shared in discord servers over the years but I wouldn’t be able to tell you for sure or not since I deadass do not know what BTS pics are public to begin with lmao
ArlesdaleMarina@ArlesdaleMarina
Not talking about OP obviously but Thomas fans with "Information" are the worst at not constantly mentioning it to the point it doesn't surprise me this happens One of the biggest hassles back when I was on bookclub was trying to remember what 7th hand information I'd heard that
English
@StationGuyGabe @Vincente22films To be fair, a lot of people from the fandom know people from YouTube and grew up watching their videos.

@Beardyface4 @AntCoulls Now it’ll be out in the open, mouldering away, unpainted & unloved.
But on a pedestal!
English
@AntCoulls As opposed to say out in the open, mouldering away unpainted & unloved in a scrap yard you mean?
English
It's 2026. Is it really the right thing to do to put a 150 year old steam loco out in the open on a roundabout?
English
@Vincente22films It’s genuinely the best episode of the show and the only one about Thomas and trains.
English
@StationGuyGabe @stellifiedd It’s also the best episode of the show. It has good model work and is genuinely an interesting story. It also is one of the few episodes about trains and based off Thomas the Tank Engine instead of some random tangentially connected OCs
English
Amazing tweet that has taken decades for someone to finally say that is still unfortunately not that simple. Coaches (the largest female vehicle population on sodor) and rolling stock have and will always be powerless on their own whether or not they “belong” to a certain engine
Daedalus_medio@Daedalus_medio
I really dislike how Annie and Clarabel are called “Thomas coaches” or “his coaches” or “faithful” its extremely unnecessary The only time I think they challenged it was the TGR and to my knowledge not again but the fact it took until 2016 for that to be considered is ridiculous
English
Probably one of the best aged tweets of all time in less than a year

"oh but think of his wife!" I saw some people say "think of his newly widowed wife!" I'm thinking of the book deal she'll get

@TrilbeeReviews @AdamLane1424 Yeah, I think stuff like space babies, dugga doo, blatant propaganda, disrespected side characters, out of touch jokes, obscure references that don’t please anyone, lack of the doctor, and awful villains are the issues with the modern show.
Not that it has minorities.
English
@AdamLane1424 I agree that there is a huge gulf in quality.
However, I don't think it has to do with "the message" of the current era or diversity or progression. That's just thought-terminating cliches that people like Jon focus on because their *only* issue is the supposed "wokeness".
English
Billie Piper and Lawrence Fox are divorced and after the divorce, Billie wrote and directed a movie where she played a woman leaving a relationship where she was domestically abused.
But of course, you'd know all about that. Wouldn't you, Jon "Wife Beater" Del Arroz?

@TrilbeeReviews I’m interested in why legend of the sea devils is your choice for 13’s worst. She had far worse episodes. I found sea devils to be one of her best to be honest.

My least favourite episode from each Doctor's era in Nu-Who:
9 - The Long Game
10 - Fear Her
11 - Curse of the Black Spot
12 - Dark Water/Death In Heaven
13 - Legend of the Sea Devils
14 - The Giggle
15 - The Interstellar Song Contest

@Henry3Studios2 @jimthegiant “Londonistan” is disgruntled uncle. I was actually in London, Trafalgar Square just last week and it was normal.
English
@jimthegiant It’s not just disgruntled uncle politics. The current speed limits we have are based on car braking times from the 1950s. And the speed limit should be raised due to advancements in motoring technology which means that cars can brake much faster now.
English
Even when they try to do some youth right wing thing they just can’t help the 60 year old disgruntled uncle politics creeping in

A Restore Britain Government will raise the speed limit on British motorways to 80mph. Restore Britain will get the country moving.
