Another fun fact about George: He had a large scale model built for use in the Jack and the Pack spinoff series, but it got reworked/rebuilt into Buster
They literally could’ve developed on a character that was already loved but decided to make a character that only appeared 2 times ever. Great use of characters right there
Fun fact: George was supposed to appear in Thomas and The Magic Railroad. He was going to work for Diesel 10 with the promise that the turntable would be turned into a roller ring.
The part where you named a bunch of things (the brakedown train, the scared truck and the floorboards) before talking about Henry made me laugh so much 🤣🤣😆
My top 10 characters are: 10. Bert (Arlesdale Railway) 9. The Fat Controller 8. Salty 7. Skarloey 6. Bear 5. BoCo 4. Cranky 3. Henry 2. Gordon 1. Edward
Idk it sounds like just off. His normal voice to me is a little to high pitched for my liking. Although you do have a point. I just for some reason liked the Brooklyn accent.
I prefer Angelis personally, but Carlin kinda nailed it with the voices, especially George. I mean, his voice for George literally sounds like a rude old thug who's just not put up for whatever he views as nonsense.
Henry is my favourite character because while he seems to be a badass in the earlier seasons, deep down he is kind and helpful. Somewhat like me haha plus I'm big (really big) too
I have auto immune liver disease which makes me feel really tired and weak somedays. But on other days I feel really powerful so I can relate to him more now being 17 than I did as a kid.
If I had to choose my favorite characters from Thomas, here they are: 10. Donald/Douglas: Because they can do anything and I can relate to them because I do a lot of things and help out if I can. 9. Bear: he’s not mentioned in the railway stories but I like him because he reminds me of what I said for Donald and Douglas. He can do anything and he’s kind. 8: Duke: an engine who’s wise and respected is why he’s my favorite character. 7: Murdoch: strong and proud. He likes having peace and quiet is something I can also relate. I like things quiet sometimes. 6: Arthur; if he can keep his “spotless record”, he can do anything. 5: Skarloey: he’s similar to Duke where he’s wise and respected by his peers. I like his character. 4: Rheneas: he and skarloey may be old but they are kind fellows. He knows how to do hard work. 3: Toby: this character for me is why I like him, Edward and duke at the same time. He may be old, but he is still my favorite character. Why? Because he can be wise and listen about anything and can help in the same way just like Edward, and duke can. 2: Winston: Another character not mentioned in the stories either, he shares a lot of same features as the other characters in the list. 1: Edward: he is the character I look up to from time to time because I’m basically just like him. He can be kind and gentle, but what I like about him is how wise he is and he can give great advice. I can give out great advice as well.
I agree. In fact I can see my self that way. I have autism and ADHD so we can be compared considering in the early days of the series he and I are insecure about ourselves, and later we are ironically scared of several things that other people naturally aren’t
I guess I'll say mine. No one will probably care but you know, I'll just say it. 10. Arthur: Arthur looks amazing with his paintwork I absolutely love it. Also it was great to see his character be more than just an engine who has a spotless record, we see him get his own branch line and it's great. Definatley a memorable and great character. 9. Sir Handel: Sir Handel was always an engine who stick out to me, his model looked a bit like a snail to me and I think he should be used more in future. He also had a great episode with Duke. 8. BoCo: BoCo was a character I never really knew as a child or remembered much, I thought he looked cool and that was it. But when I grew older I started to fall in love with him. Not as wise or determined as Edward but definatley a good father figure for Bill and Ben. Also the beginning shot with the three bridges in the episode Buzz Buzz is my favourite shot in the show and made me live BoCo even more. 7. Percy: Percy was relatable character to me as a child and even more relatable to me when I was older watching season 5. The episodes where Percy just wants a rest and some excitement related to me a lot. He also looks great. 6. Henry: I agree with almost everything T1E2H3 says about him but I feel like he isn't enough to make the top five for me, still a great character none the less. 5. Edward: Watch the Unlucky Tugs video on Edward and you'll see why he's so beloved by the fandom, me included. 4. Oliver: The same things as this video really, also had some of the best episodes and some of my favourites. Definatley deserving of my top five. 3. Duke: Duke is my favourite narrow gauge engine being a great father figure to Stuart and Falcon and his story was very depressing and his episodes were some of the best. Also agreeing with what was said on this video. 2. Murdoch: Many people say Murdoch has no character which I think is wrong. He's a gentle giant who enjoys peace and quiet and time to himself. Extremely relatable to me. I consider myself strong (not like Murdoch or extremely strong but strong) and I'm quite big too. But I consider myself to be gentle sometimes and easy going. Also sometimes being irritated by noise. Also Murdoch just looks stunning, I don't know which one would look better, his model we see in the TVS series or his concept art model, none the less such a looker. Also he's a 9F which is one of my favourite steam engines so that's good to. Honourable mentions before number 1. Salty: Funny and just overall hilarious. Cranky: Same as Salty not to mention having a hilarious episode: No Sleep For cranky. Neville and Molly: Both look great and quite similar to each other, would of enjoyed seeing them interact with each other and Murdoch as I think they all would've gotten on great. Donald and Douglas: Basically the same reasons as in this video. James: One of my favourites as a child and even though I like other characters more he's still got a place in my heart for him. Toad: "That could've been a little smoother." Favourite Toad line, great episodes and Toad's just too loveable. 1. Gordan: Always my favourite character, in my opinion had the greatest character development in the railway series and just a great looker as well. Not just being the basic bully character who just hangs out with the main character but a character who is a sort of father figured to some of the other engines, not to mention having my favourite crash. Station crash in season 5. Gordan is my favourite character for these reasons and more. These are just my opinions and of you don't agree then good for you.
Fun fact, Keith Scott was Diesel 10's original voice before Neil Crone stepped in. Why, cause the test audience found Keith's performance too frightening.👍👍
Oh? My god??? Your Henry description made me literally ball my eyes out…!?? I’ve never understood why i’ve always loved him but you just explained it to me. I am SOBBING.
I don't know who my favorite T&F character is, but one of them is Emily, she went through a lot, going from a stern yet very friendly and helpful engine to the total opposite. It's not her fault, it's HIT's fault. Good thing Brenner changed all that in Season 17.
In a Mr. Ryan video, I learned that he’s the 10th diesel to be introduced in the series, and I think they said that that’s the actual reason why he’s called Diesel 10.
These are my 10 favourite characters This is not a ranking these are just characters i absolutely love Edward Henry Gordon Percy Toby Donald and Douglas Oliver Bill and Ben Arthur Spencer Really looking to see your favourites
These Are My Favorites Percy James Henry Gordon Edward Thomas Diesel Murdoch Hank Arthur Donald Douglas Oliver Bill Ben Toby Philip Rosie Boco Bear Neville Derek 87546/Crovan BCE/Reginald Spencer Arry Bert Least Favorites Flynn Belle Captain Bash Dash Ferdinand (P.S My PABS Teacher Likes Misty Island Rescue)
I have a physical disability I can’t walk straight so Henry’s story appeals to me because he had physical problems so he is my favorite of all time because we share something in common physical disability
@@cakehyrbid5315 I just have to be really careful if I stumble and trip I have fast reflexes to catch myself in any situation but I just have to be careful while walking
Even if some choices are obvious, Thomas RU-vidrs are pretty much the only ones keeping the true spirit of the show intact. So I was very much looking forward to this vid. Just wanted to say that. Followed your channel for years.
He's called Diesel 10 since he was the 10th diesel to be introduced into the TV series. Splatter was the 11th, Dodge was the 12th, and Salty was the 13th.
Henry to you is like Toad to me, although really it's more the episode 'Busy going backwards'. After watching that episode the first time, I always sit backwards on public transport, whenever I get the chance.
Hey man! Great vid on your favorite characters! Henry was my favorite as a kid too and I also related to him. I also like how you pointed out how you related to him too: having a weakness, facing great odds & overcoming all obstacles and doubts against him to become an integral part of the Sodor Universe. Keep it up!
My top 10 Donald & Doglas 10th Percy 9th James 8th Bill & Ben 7th BoCo 6th Oliver 5th Gordon 4th Duck 3rd Henry 2nd Edward 1st!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Bonus: Thomas 11th Spencer 12th
Favorites: James Henry Gordon Edward Thomas Percy Bill/ben Boco Donald/douglas Oliver Arthur Ryan Duck Spencer Toad Hero Rusty Peter Sam Duncan Murdoch Cranky
Oliver along with Donald and Douglass kind a inspired me to take no shit in my freshmen year of high school i was called a school shooter and so i went up to him and fought him and got him suspended and got some real respect after that. now i am more take no shit kind a of person.
My personal favourites : 🥇Edward 🥈Skarloey & Rheneas (I know they're technically 2 characters but they're in fact real brothers - inseparable just like the Scottish twins!) 🥉Henry 🏅Donald & Dougie, Duck, Boco, Gordon, Flying Scotsman, Sir Handel, Peter Sam, Duke, Luke, Duncan
Great video as always! I highly suggest you do your 10 least favorites now. That be interesting and quite funny to hear you rant about why you dislike certain characters
3:14 fun fact before Neil Crone was cast as Diesel 10 he was originally supposed to be voiced by Australian voice actor Keith Scott who would have gave him a Russian accent
Well That's good of you ranking your top 10 favourite TTTE Characters, When I was a kid Gordon Used to be My favourite Thomas Character, but now My favourite character is absolutely henry!
Great list! There’s some favorite characters I love that wasn’t on the list. Duck is my favorite character in Thomas & Friends plus I love James, Percy, Sir Handel, and more.
My favourite engine of all time is Edward because as someone who struggles with mental health and suicidal thoughts. He keeps inspiring me to keep going no matter what happens.
I hope gordon is on his list, I think Henry will be the number one, with all the, you know, the channel being named after him and him being the channel’s Intro character
I feel that one of the reasons the Culdee Fell railway never appeared on the TV was because the engines having 2 faces might be weird to young audiences
Here are some of my favorite characters in no particular order: Harold: I liked George Carlin's voice for him, and how he was always happy to help those who needed him. Toby: his dedication to Henrietta and his unbothered nature are things that I strive to emulate. Donald and Douglas: probably my favorite characters. How well they work together and the ways they interact reminds me of me and my sister. Plus all the reasons mentioned in the video. Salty: the way he likes to tell great stories reminds me of my dad. He's also just really cheerful while going about his work. Rusty: I wish I had Rusty's self-confidence in "Rusty To The Rescue". They know their job and does it well. Edward: just a really wise old engine who can be trusted to solve problems between others. Never let his age determine his ability. Reminds me a bit of my mom with his kindness. Henry: pretty much all the reasons mentioned in the video. I find it interesting how a machine can be so fond of nature. Duke: again, many of the reasons stated in the video. He's a great father figure to Peter Sam and Sir Handel. Also reminds me of my dad. Duck: I'm honestly not sure why I like Duck so much. He just has a great personality and works hard. Maybe he reminds me of myself. This spot is left open for characters in seasons that I haven't seen.
As someone who loves TATMR, Lady is and will always be my favorite simply because of her mystique and the aura of magic and mystery surrounding her. I also love Burnett Stone (even though he is not an engine) and Diesel 10, though he always scared me as a kid. Thomas, Skarloey, Duke, and Henry also are favorites of mine, along with Toby, Edward, James, Gordon, and Rusty.
My favourite characters from no.1 to no.10 #1- james #2- edward #3- percy #4- oliver #5- duck #6- douglas #7- donald #8- henry #9- gordon #10- thomas (duh)
I can relate to Henry the most because from when I was born to when I was six I couldn’t eat much before spewing it up then I started getting allergy shots and I could eat 10x what I could before.
666th like. Joke aside. I am surprised that you did not include Edward. All the episodes you made with him are among the best, making that thought he was your 3rd favorite or something. I love Painful Memories and the Turning point for Edward trio, because of the way you portrayed him. It was like he was one of your top 10. He's both a father figure and the secondary controller. He's wise and knows everything, how to psychologically talk Henry out of his fear of Fuel tankers. I expected him at least after Gordon. I also love him in S1 and 2 where as you said the harassments from Gordon and James are resolved.
Rewatching this list and giving my updated thoughts on this well first off henry being number 1 was obvious and I think we all expected Gordon, Duke, Oliver and both sets of steam engine twins on the list due to you mentioning in other reviews how much you love them. One character I'm honestly surprised isn't on here was Sir Handel considering how much you've utilized him in Engines of Sodor
