What Joe didn't realize was that Krakatoa still had it's crew onboard when it sunk in it's destruction, and Bluenose may be held accountable for the deaths he caused.
9:50 Just gonna note that in the 15 minute version of Munitions, it was rewritten for Captain Star to say that Big Mickey was saved because the water was shallow so that kids wouldn’t be traumatized.
It was actually removed due to the airing order having an episode called "High Tide" after "Munitions", which is the episode where the audience is properly introduced to Big Mickey. This is one of the major pieces of evidence that the intended watching order was very different to the airing order of the series.
So originally, he was planned to die, but they had to say that he survived so that the kids wouldn't be traumatized. ... even though death isn't really canon in this series (because we still see them again anyway), that is one way to hide the true horror.
Here's what I think Happened. Blue Nose was in permanent shock and so wasn't court marshalled due to his mental state, instead he was sent to the drydock at the Navy Yard where he remained, being used for spare parts for other navy tugs. When the U.S entered World War 2, Blue Nose was scrapped for the war effort
In one episode, a deleted scene shows OJ seeing a ghost of big mickey, showing his grief over big mickey’s death, meaning that the episodes order must be swapped around
They wanted to put a face plate on with motors to move the eyes but was replaced with a megaphone because the model has too much wires to move the crane arm and the chain hook
I have an idea as to how Big Mickey survived: It was a Frankenstein's Monster process. One day many decades after the episode (I like to believe sometime in the 70s or 80s), sailors from Great Britain visited Bigg City Port and discovered a ruined Big Mickey in the same place he drowned in, and so, due to the fact that Brendham Docks needs some extra cranes (this was before Cranky came onto the island), they struck a deal with Captain Star to purchase Big Mickey from Bigg City, where afterwards, they cleaned him up, gave him something of a makeover and practically resurrected him
John the LNER P2, This is my predictions on the airing dates: Season 1: 1989 Season 2: 1991 Movie 1: 1992 Season 3: 1992 Season 4: 1994 Movie 2: 1994 Movie 3: 1997 Season 5: 1999 Movie 4: 2001 Season 6: 2007 Movie 5: 2007 Season 7: 2019
Well if it did, we would gotten Tugs: Big World Big Adventures with Sunshine going on a world tour while OJ and Warrior are written off and replaced with girl tugs.
You know, in the 15 minute version of this episode that only aired on Television, the narrator said that Big Mickey survived, because he landed it shallow water. The 20 minute version is only on VHS, and did not say that.
In the end, the lawsuit never went through due to Mitton have patented the eye mechanism along with the Tugs characters have flesh toned faces instead of grey.
It may not have killed off a Tug, but at least 2 characters died in this episode - Big Mickey and Krakatoa. Krakatoa may not have had a face or a speaking role, but she was nevertheless a ship.
Driv3Joe I Saw A YTP Video With You In It Made Bye Ajn animation Called YTP: All Engines Go! Thomas And The Battery!!! Could You Please Do A Reaction Video If You Have Any Spare Time???
Hers my opinion on munitions. 1 get the fireworks, 2 blast the 1812 overture, 3 ask Micheal bay if David mitton was his grandpa, 4 get the popcorn and 5 invite the whole ttte Fandom
Dear Joe, big mickey's fate changes depending on the version of munitions you watch. If u watch the 20 minute vhs version, big mickey falls to his death, but if u watch the 15 minute tvs version, there's an extra line that explains that big mickey survived due to supposedly landing in shallow water.
The tramper explosion reminded of uss forestal fire the carrier was set on fire by f-4 phantom Zuni rocket blowing at the back of the rocket pods hitting the Skyhawk jets
This episode is prolly why i ended up making a video where i made a (not even well built) cardboard model of the Duchess from this series and lighting her ablaze on a local river. Also, your reaction was priceless and i am all for it
Big Mickey was actually saved he's now working on sodor with cranky if you what most of the brendam docks episodes with the cranes the biggest one there is big Mickey. His dock with the tugs was destroyed obviously so he as been salvaged and working hard.
One of the reasons I love this show so much is it was one of the very few kid's TV shows that wasn't afraid to use dark, non patronizing story lines and dialogue
Well in thomas and friends carly almost fell into the water like big mickey but cranked ofc saved her another place that is similar is where cranky held on to a ship almost falling into ocean both dosnt have explosions or deaths both episodes are steam team to the rescue and tale of the Brave
Mick was not going to be back after this episode so any episodes with him in it from what the fandom has said take place before this so yes he done in the show
Bro when you just skip when big Mickey fell you missed a part when you skipped ima tell you what happen so big Mickey caught on fire then his holder exploded
Something I always wondered is what happened to bluenose after this as this was the last time we saw him. I wonder if he was discharged from the navy or something….
Their was supposed to be a part in one of the episodes with big mickys ghost lifting his own body from the sea but didn’t make the cut they even made a face for big mickys ghost
The z stacks may be a bunch of trouble makers but they’re probably not as much bad in this episode as bluenose not like in any of the other tugs episodes.
Someone once said "only Hercules can say darling and sweetheart in the same sentence and still sound masculine"
What Joe didn't realize was that Krakatoa still had it's crew onboard when it sunk in it's destruction, and Bluenose may be held accountable for the deaths he caused.
Well since we never saw Bluenose again after the accident, I thought that the Navy scrapped him.
@@davinsmith7543 I agree with that theory.
@@davinsmith7543 or use as target practice. Basicly the boat equivalent of a fireirng squad in bluenose's case
Wait really ? Huh i never knew that... I guess it makes sense tho

When Joe said "I can't believe shit starts exploding for no reason" I said to myself "Wait till he sees Munitions"
In one episode, a deleted scene shows OJ seeing a ghost of big mickey, showing his grief over big mickey’s death, meaning that the episodes order must be swapped around
Fun Fact: Big Mickey was suppose to have a Face. But they decided it will be Too Much for kids to handle so they decided to Keep him Faceless
Until the sister series Thomas & Friends got Big Mickey in series 3 and gave him a face in series 21
Actually, they made a prototype face for Big Mickey, but they never finalized it and gave him a megaphone instead for budgetary reasons.
They wanted to put a face plate on with motors to move the eyes but was replaced with a megaphone because the model has too much wires to move the crane arm and the chain hook

It's a shame Tugs only had 13 episodes it should've as successful as Thomas and friends

@@TheGoombaFromNowhere only if Mattel owned the show but who knows maybe Hasbro would buy the show before them
@@TheGoombaFromNowhere I personally think they would write of Big mac and Hercules maybe Zak and Big mac if zed stacks are involved
Do be fair about Bluenose it is the 1920s….
Along with that at the end he’s basically shell shocked
16:12 Actually, yes it is. They would’ve killed off Boomer a couple of times during the planning of the episode “Jinxed”.
I mean the crew did plan for Sunshine to sink himself in his episode when he ran aground.
SO glad you picked up the TUGS series again. Can' wait to see the next one!

" Shits just blowing up for no reason
(Drivr3joe reacting to pirates)
BOI you ain't seen anything yet
He might be crooked but Zorran has common sense.
I feel it's worth noting that Alcroft wasn't pleased with Mitton creating Tugs. She tried to sue so copyright was a concern for the production team
In the end, the lawsuit never went through due to Mitton have patented the eye mechanism along with the Tugs characters have flesh toned faces instead of grey.
Surprisingly, despite all that happened, David went back to work with her on the third season of Thomas and Friends.
Actually Big Mickey does die, and the crane O.J passes in 'Ghosts' is supposed to be a ghostly look-alike named 'Snatcher'.
It may not have killed off a Tug, but at least 2 characters died in this episode - Big Mickey and Krakatoa. Krakatoa may not have had a face or a speaking role, but she was nevertheless a ship.
This episode traumatized me as a kid and gave me PTSD flashbacks. I remember when the ship exploded, I ran out of the room screaming. I was 5
Same reaction as mine to the movie Volcano.
After tugs ended production many of the props were used in Thomas and friends the model series like big micky O.J and a Spanish freighter
Driv3Joe I Saw A YTP Video With You In It Made Bye Ajn animation Called YTP: All Engines Go! Thomas And The Battery!!! Could You Please Do A Reaction Video If You Have Any Spare Time???

The tramper explosion reminded of uss forestal fire the carrier was set on fire by f-4 phantom Zuni rocket blowing at the back of the rocket pods hitting the Skyhawk jets
High tide takes place before munitions so don’t be confused when he appears there
*High Tide
This episode is prolly why i ended up making a video where i made a (not even well built) cardboard model of the Duchess from this series and lighting her ablaze on a local river. Also, your reaction was priceless and i am all for it
Bluenose abuses his power!
Big Mickey dies then suddenly teleports to another universe
so far every episode has had an explosion
Nice
Except the episode Sunshine. The only episode that does not have explosions I think.
@@josephmiller3105 High winds has Zero explosions too
Don't forget the episode Pirate with Zip and Zag.
@@Milos15GameplaysYT the flairs count as explosions
Big Mickey was actually saved he's now working on sodor with cranky if you what most of the brendam docks episodes with the cranes the biggest one there is big Mickey. His dock with the tugs was destroyed obviously so he as been salvaged and working hard.
No, he wasn't "saved". They just reused his model and later his name. The two series aren't related.
This was well worth the wait ☺️
Big Mickey was apparently taken out of the water and rebuilt I think, that explains the part in T&F
9:32 and laying in shallow water saved Big Mickey from both fire and explosion
“Great Reaction Joe!” & R.I.P. Big Mickey 😢
zoron might be a crook, but he knows what he's doing. I'd rather take orders from zorron than bluenose.
One of the reasons I love this show so much is it was one of the very few kid's TV shows that wasn't afraid to use dark, non patronizing story lines and dialogue
Well it made by the people who made classic thomas so fits the bill
R.I.P Big Micky
oh if you reacted to this one you absolutely need to check out unlucky tugs redub of the episode cuz thats absolutely hilarious xD
Well in thomas and friends carly almost fell into the water like big mickey but cranked ofc saved her another place that is similar is where cranky held on to a ship almost falling into ocean both dosnt have explosions or deaths both episodes are steam team to the rescue and tale of the Brave

We need you to finish watching the rest of Tugs!!!
Thomas had only one episode with pyrotechnics and it was rusty and the boulder

if you can get the clear from unlucky tug then you should watch hes dubbed version of this cause that is helarios
in tugs i wish we could see bulstrode who else likes that idea
fun fact: Puffas Model ist the Marklin Engine.🚂🚃🚃
That when tugboats exists
this has gotten really dark, superb video mate. im just gonna cry for 5 minutes.
god fricking dang it you broke the krakatoa
Where's Big Mickey he's at peace you saved you all from an explosion
rip big mickey
Easily the darkest episode of TUGS!!
All the trains in Tugs used the Marklin engine that was used in season one of Thomas
Don't be fooled by the next few episodes,high tide takes place BEFORE munitions since they introduce big mickey
hope this helps
One Dime Got Burnt Crispier Than A Crisp
6:12 And, YTP material.
And this was in 1972 so that why the engines did not have faces
R.I.P Big Mickey.
Also, where did you get that Australian Licorice?
Bro when you just skip when big Mickey fell you missed a part when you skipped ima tell you what happen so big Mickey caught on fire then his holder exploded
Apparently, the wiki says that Bluenose was suppose to appear in ' Jinxed' but he got cut.
Something I always wondered is what happened to bluenose after this as this was the last time we saw him. I wonder if he was discharged from the navy or something….
Hopefully we get to see the full episode this time
I agree with Lucky PaB The Unlucky Tug's version is hilarious I really suggest reacting to it if you want a good laugh
The thumbnail is making me laugh.
You definitely need to watch The Unlucky Tug's Dub of this episode and Trapped
The Explosion EP, Big Mickey dies, until Thomas revived him.
Rip Krakatoa
The whole Harbour is going up in flames!
The name of the little Navy submarine is grampus. That's the name Joe was looking for.
I’ve been looking forward to this 😁
Their was supposed to be a part in one of the episodes with big mickys ghost lifting his own body from the sea but didn’t make the cut they even made a face for big mickys ghost
7:49 The action begins
I feel like you should react to The Unlucky tug dubs of these episodes
The episodes that you didn’t watch yet are jinxed, high tide, high winds, up river, big freeze, warrior and finally quarantine
The z stacks may be a bunch of trouble makers but they’re probably not as much bad in this episode as bluenose not like in any of the other tugs episodes.
The Halifax Disaster
OMG THANK YOU SO MUCH JOE!!!!!! 😃😃😃
Comment Yes, if you want Joe to finish watching the TUGS series.
Yes
Yes
The only thing that hurts me in this episode is that they forgot to mention about big Mickey at the end.
Thomas and Friends is an isekai anime for Big Mickey
9:17
i remember big mickey was back in Thomas and friends
What are you searching on Googles?
This is gonna be fun!
Wait, did big Mickey actually die or did he live? Because I think he might be still in the tugs series.
If you don't have anything else to do then react to James starts a revolution over fish and chips
JOE’S 200TH REACTION!!!
You mean Grampus that was about to be blown up in ' Regatta'.
8:26 That's a different scene from what I saw.
Are you ever going to finish this series?
6:07 😂
Omg yes!
REACT TO MORE TUGS EPISODES PLEASE!!!!
The darkest ep of tugs ever
I Can't Wait!!!
