Someone linked me to this video and I'd first off like to say - no hard feelings lol! I am happy to see someone else make a video about the HiT era newbies. Nice list you got there, ASodorLife approved! 👍
honestly to me obscure characters are unique characters, I think it’s because you hardly see them compared to others making them feel more special, and the fact there’s not that much of them when it comes to backstory and personality gives fans opportunities to come up with their own head cannons.
Putting Billy and Flora in the same tier is a smart move. They are both unlikable in two different ways Anyways my ranking goes like this 1. Hector 2. Freddie 3. Madge 4. Dennis 5. Mighty Mac 6. Molly 7. Rocky 8. Whiff 9. Neville 10. Hank 11. Stanley 12. Jeremy 13. Rosie 14. Colin 15. Billy 16. Flora I didn’t include proteus because I’d don’t really consider them too be characters
My theory on Freddie is that he used to work on the rocky ridge line before he was sold off so he would know it better than anyone (also Stanley does have an actual basis The manning wardle T class)
i... i like billy, i think that with better writing a small shunter being rude and starting trouble is a fun idea, imagine if they embraced the monster of billy and make him friends with the trucks and encouraging them to cause trouble. a steam engine as a villain is to fun to ignore.
My best to worst: 1. Hector 2. Whiff 3. Rosie 4. Madge 5. Molly 6. Mighty Mac 7. Freddie 8. Proteus 9. Dennis 10. Hank 11. Stanley 12. Rocky 13. Neville 14. Jeremy 15. Colin 16. Flora 17. Billy
I don't think that Billy is better than nia sure Nia replaced Edward but at the very least you can stand nia more than you can stand Billy as a "person"
I don’t think Billy is better than either Nia or Samson. Nia at least isn’t an annoying brat. Even if Billy “learns”. Yea, Nia replacing Edward absolutely sucks, but realistically any character could have done that, it could have been Rebecca (who replaced Henry), it could have been Rosie (who was in promotional art for Series 21), or it could have been a completely different character. Yea Nia’s reason for existing sucks, but I can at least tolerate her. Samson isn’t much better than Billy, but at least he has an Samson design going for him (at least, in my opinion.)
I think Flora is an okay character, but I think she would be better if she used to work at the old Sodor Tramways by Great Waterton many years ago when she was young, which made her boastful. However, after Great Waterton and the tramway closed down, she would be placed in a shed and would make her realize that something important doesn't always last forever, and I think Percy should be the one to rediscover her to show the classic Percy & Toby dynamic from The Railway Series books.
@@SodorFan15 I honestly don't mind her design. And I know you would disagree, but I think Billy is fine and the episode Don't Be Silly, Billy is pretty good in my opinion because it shows a mature Thomas trying to look after an engine who was just like the Thomas we know in Season 1.
I usually don’t mind Jeremy. I really like Madge. Stanley is up there. So is Hector. Sure Neville. Freddie is great. Go to HELL billy. Mighty Mac is good. Molly I like. Rosie is awesome. Hank is in the middle. Flora I don’t really have a soft spot for. Whiff is wise and a good character. Rocky was a good ol’ guy. Dennis was meh. Colin is just……………………………………………….BLANK.
@@meciomontoya8440 Yes as a matter of fact. I have a few videos to do first, but I put up a poll on my community tab, and that video got the majority. Only problem is, I've only seen a few episodes of nitrogen. So I have to watch the whole era in research. And everyone knows how bad those episodes are.

Thanks man
I cant believe that now these characters are "classics"
woah, your right!
1:36 Maybe a story where Rebecca and Molly interact could be interesting. Both could contrast each other pretty well.

If HIT use 100% of their brain and know to write a good story, all of these character would not be wasted and still exist until the end of the show
Putting Billy and Flora in the same tier is a smart move. They are both unlikable in two different ways

Yea I can see that.

I think that Billy deserves a rewrite
i... i like billy, i think that with better writing a small shunter being rude and starting trouble is a fun idea, imagine if they embraced the monster of billy and make him friends with the trucks and encouraging them to cause trouble. a steam engine as a villain is to fun to ignore.
Yes. Steam engine antagonists are far more memorable to me. Especially what they did with Spencer in Hero of the Rails.
14:31 Billy is 6'4
This is gonna be good.
I think neville deserves more attention plus with other characters if i did my on take on nevilla in my opinion
BTW its mighty-mac not mighty mack
My best to worst:
1. Hector
2. Whiff
3. Rosie
4. Madge
5. Molly

I don't agree, but I will respect that.
11:56 not noot

Yes that would be much better. But my main issue with her is her design. If she had a simple redesign, I probably would've ranked her higher.

@@dylanlyles9453 Yea, Billy definitely gets more hate than is called for.
@@SodorFan15 Yeah, but you should check out the fan stories of him Brace Yourself by Trainz4Days and Billy on Board by EnterprisingEngine93

Literally, does anyone ever talk about Colin outside of his season or other characters?🤣

I still prefer Billy over Charlie
Yes, I agree. Charlie appeared a lot more, and thus had a lot more time to annoy us.
@@SodorFan15speaking of which are you planning to rank the nitrogen character
@@meciomontoya8440 Yes as a matter of fact. I have a few videos to do first, but I put up a poll on my community tab, and that video got the majority.

Are you going to do the cgi nowbies?
I think I will, but I'll wait a bit and do some other videos first.
Team zug likes billy
Like Zug the Tug?
@@SodorFan15 Yes, team zug
He should have apeerd in BWBA
Who?
rosie is so overrated
Oh, how so?
