i think what makes Luke such a wonderful character is his Magnus Opus: Luke's New Friend. in the Episode, he befriends a deer and he decides to keep it but his friends told him that a deer would'nt live at the quarry because it's too loud. so he then decided to take the deer to his rightful place at Ulstead Castle......to sad but happy tears. God would be blessed with what Luke did at the end because of the lesson of: If you love something, set it free. and THAT is how you pull off such a great lesson to children. NOTE: and a great detail i love after Luke set the deer free to stay with his mom, His DRIVER actually gave him a " it's all right, you did the right thing". That is wholesome to see.
The interesting thing with Luke is that he quite literally goes from introvert to extrovert. When he was around random people & engines, he scampers & hides - which I can relate to at times. & then when he’s found & welcomes with open arms, as we see in the switch, Luke embraces himself with the crowdedness of the quarry, becoming very hands on & carefree about the way he looks. If you hate Luke, you’ve got issues coz he’s one of the most lovable & relatable characters from Thomas ever to exist.
So Luke is an Ambvert, he talk to people or engines he knows while being shy around new faces, it's kinda funny how everyone forgot Ambverts so often much. 😅
Being an Irish person, I have a lot of appreciation for Luke’s he’s definitely one of my favourite cgi characters. And it was cool to learn that Adam is Irish too.
I actually learned of Luke through finding a Wooden Railway toy of him at the Railroad Museum I was working at during the time. It had been a long time since I’d actually watched Thomas at that point, and this was quite a few years back now, so I have seen the CGI series since then. Though if it were any other character I probably wouldn’t have looked twice, the fact that I share a name with a Thomas character was awesome to me, so I bought it (It had been in the gift shop.) and that was one of the reasons I started to watch Thomas again, specifically checking out CGI Thomas.
I also love that people in the Fandom have done stories with him too. Like NWR1991 story; The Beetles or my personal favourite Narrow Gauge Horror of the Rails story: Inner Demon
Luke deserves some more love and have more roles and appearances in the show like interacting with Percy (which I wished it would happen), if Duke returns, interact with him and being taught by him and help out on the Skarloey Railway.
Luke, he is a great character. Lots of potential. Even my OC’s would appreciate him, especially my Narrow Gauge OC’s because Luke is Narrow Gauge like them.
Good video! Luke is a great character, and I really enjoyed your video on him! I think the reason Luke isn’t as popular as Hiro or Victor is probably because Luke only had two starring episodes and the Blue Mountain Mystery movie and aside from those he doesn’t actually do anything that often in the show. Hiro first appeared in Hero of the rails and got multiple starring episodes about him and even appeared in the reboot somehow. I guess it simply comes down to who has more screen time, and how much those appearances add to the characters, and maybe if Luke consistently got a leading role each season he could’ve been a fan-favorite! Maybe this video can give Luke more attention in the fandom!
@@cinnamonmantrainsareawesom7224 It’s kind of strange really. They were used a lot in the Hit Era, but as soon as the Brenner Era started and Mattel took control they barely appeared at all
I loved Luke when I was little,and still do!I think part of the reason why I watched Blue Mountain Mystery so many times was because of Luke's character.I was extremely happy to see him outside of Blue Mountain Mystery with Luke's New Friend,it's still got to be one of my favorite episodes of the cgi series.
victor, hiro, paxton and luke are in my top 10 cgi characters. but does everyone look over belle and flynn? because those are also good. but i do love luke.
Good video, I also quite like Luke. He's not my favourite CGI character, but he's probably in my top 5. Also you were 6 in 2012? Then we must be a very similar age, not often I find thomas fans the same age as me
Something I find frustrating about the books is that Chris introduced not 1 but 2 new characters for the Skarloey Railway and did nothing with either of them. One of them doesn't even appear in any illustrations. Luke feels like a very natural addition to that cast of characters and the writers did some interesting things with him. That's why he's my favorite TV exclusive character. Yes, I like him even more than Spencer.
Thomas is my favorite so I'm based ( then again ) I actually enjoy aeg so that says a lot about me , anyway I'm writing an Episode for me human au where Thomas Jr ( Aeg Thomas) takes his friends to an irish juice pub run by Luke's family so they have the same experience as Thomas Sr on his days off
i like or love luke reason 1st he is quite cute (don't know how cute he is) 2nd he is quite a nice mini looking train/engine 3rd his Voice is nice (if i am not wrong) Funny word to say: he is luke skywalker LOL🤣🤣
I know I'm gonna get lots of flak for this, but Luke is actually my most hated character in the entire TTTE series (probably the hottest TTTE take in the entire world).
Well I'm not gonna give you flak for it since everyone is allowed there own opinions and as stated in the video these are my personal views so don't worry you'll get no flak from me. Stay awesome 👌
