What is wrong with kids media now a days. Examples like The Trolls movies, Boss Baby, Teen Titans Go, Peppa Pig, Dora The Explore etc. Those shows for kids felt like the people behind those shows are playing down and dumb down their target audience. Now Thomas is now become a dumb down kids show, thanks Mattel. 😡
Thoroughly agree! Whoever the CEO is of the Thomas and Friends franchise has completely forgotten why Thomas was written to start with. All they care about is the how and what it does to bring them money. So sad...😒
Mattel knows perfectly well what made Thomas awesome and are purposely doing the exact opposite of that, while also knowing that the reason the Brenner era flopped was cause Mattel couldn't be asked to promote it properly, air it properly, and the fact that they tried to make Thomas woke did way more damage to the brand.
The biggest red flag that came from the new reboot trailer was the line "Thomas is the hero of EVERY episode." Since when has Thomas NOT been the focus of an episode during the HIT and Mattel era?!
I grew up with S6-7 because I wasn’t born when S1-5 came out. I respect your opinion for saying they’re not Classic. But that doesn’t mean it was fact that they’re not.
Oh how I miss the wooden Thomas sets. Even at the mall we go to used to have a Thomas store with a giant Thomas in the front. And seeing that cartoon bastardized this series, it was physically painful
I thought since Series 20 was a fantastic season I thought the show was in really good hands, I’m a huge fan of Thomas and Friends I grew up watching the hit era and I loved the classic series especially Series 9-24. This is sad 😢 to see Thomas like this .
I loved Thomas and Friends since I was a child. Seeing Mattel do this to the little tank engine and all his friends is a nothing more than a complete disgrace to Awdry’s legacy and I am appalled that this is the newest generation for the franchise.
@@TwinHat Same. To be honest, the only seasons Thomas and Friends that I enjoy watching the most is Seasons 1 to 11 (Model Era) and Seasons 17 to 21 (Brenner Era). That was it.
Everyone’s reaction to Thomas Model series: Fantastic! CGI series: Great, but not as good as the model series. BWBA: This is bad. All Engines Go!: (throws a temper tantrum like a little kid)
0:00 yes I remember I grew up on these episodes and then on those from 2010 but I preferred the ones from 1984 where the characters were physical models running on a physical railway model panel
I was born in 2002, and I remember watching the original series from seasons 1-7. While also the hit era season 8-11, but it’s not that bad of an era; and I still love trains because of Thomas.
Cranky Bugs is probably the earliest episode I watched. When I think of Thomas back when I was a really young kid, I always think about the Cranky Bugs and Other Thomas Stories DVD.
I remember having a VHS of thomas comes to breakfast that was given to me by my older sister, and I still have a few old hit era dvds in my garage, comparing even those to this new filth that’s being beaten out of the dead horse that is thomas and friends is like comparing a child’s scribble to the mona lisa
I Love the Model Series and Nitrogen Era Thomas. I would keep watching New Thomas Episodes until the Era after 2015 or 2017. That’s when I got Upset with what they did with Thomas.
I think this is a very unpopular opinion, but I grew up with the older Thomas, I'm in my middle teens and I personally think that THIS is the best Thomas in my opinion, obviously I respect how you feel about it and you actually brought up great points on the reboot and why it's bad. Honestly though, even if Thomas' name wasn't slapped on it, I probably would've watched only a few episodes and not got as obsessed with it as I am at the moment.
It's probably not gonna last long anyway. 2 seasons and 104 episodes is alot for a greenlight and I'm already starting to see signs that this reboot is failing.
I’d agree it didn’t have any story arcs and were very sporadically placed episodically but compared to anything that followed in comparison it was like series 1-5 ha
Season 5 didn’t have many story arcs like Seasons 1-4. Season 5 is insanely overrated by its fans despite being another good season. Magic Railroad put a stain on the franchise and the show, but it didn’t immediately kill them. It just gradually turned Thomas into a baby show from Seasons 8-12 until HiT, but it’s still the same world. That is until the Miller era almost killed the show. And after the Brenner era, BWBA ultimately killed the show. Followed by AEG.
I don’t see anything too different with season 6 to seasons 1-5, it’s still a classic season. However, I can see that season 7 is a little different from the first six seasons.
At least it's a different show. That will help me sleep better at night. What pissed me off was that the CGI was supposed to be seasons of the same show.
@@Dragonceratops It's certainly no different from the other generic preschool shows (apart from the names of the characters and the vehicles having gray faces).
Actually, there are a couple people on Facebook who like Thai new version and find the old old creepy with weird teachings. There are also multiple people who think the new Thomas is cute. I'm beginning to think at least some of them might just be making up an excuse to be on Mattel's side and not introduce their little kids to the old shows because they're, well...old. I'm sure at least some of them are.
It's just turned into the adventures of chuck and friends, or meteor and the mighty monster trucks. It has that vibe but none of the charm and sensibility that should go with it. But I'm probably extremely biased in that judgement because I was one of the weirdo's that liked those aforementioned shows, nostalgic for meteor
I remember in 2009 When I was 4 they Switched The Model Version to the CGI one on the TV channel toggolino( a german TV channel) and I hate it already even tho I was a fucking kid
Back in the day from 1945 to 2007 it's been great. Also CGI but in October it's much different then it was in like 2015 when I was 2, in 2015 I really enjoyed Thomas the tank engine but now it's straight up crap.
Mattel really asked the question "what would Thomas & Friends look like if we bought it off wish?"
"Disgraceful" said Gordon
"Disgusting" said James
"Despicable" finished Henry
We cannot allow it

Thomas has too much screentime to a t
Back in the Old Days when there was Episodes without Thomas.

Model Era: Fantastic!
CGI Series: No.
Reboot: *Flips the table over*
Great comment!
i'll take the Model Era over this new reboot and just add Ringo Starr.
It's a revival
Is Misty Island Rescue CGI? I did like that Era from 2009-2014.
I loved Thomas and Friends since I was a child. Seeing Mattel do this to the little tank engine and all his friends is a nothing more than a complete disgrace to Awdry’s legacy and I am appalled that this is the newest generation for the franchise.
Going back to rewatch the old series isn't enough. I want little kids to know what Thomas was meant to be.
I am glad that I grew up with the 2000s decade as a kid when Thomas and Friends where they still using the Train Models back then. 👍
I feel very happy to have been there from the beginning when Thomas was absolutely at its best
@@TwinHat Same. To be honest, the only seasons Thomas and Friends that I enjoy watching the most is Seasons 1 to 11 (Model Era) and Seasons 17 to 21 (Brenner Era). That was it.
Back when Thomas was good.
I can imagine the Reboot's line being like
They closed all lines and made 1 station from The Mainland named "Sodor"
Thomas Series 1-7: *The Best*
Thomas Series 8-21: *Good*
Thomas Series 22-24: *Acceptable*
Thomas Series 25-26: *It was time for Thomas to leave*
you should stoped after serie 7
@@kingjulian7781 And then the show gets revived from Seasons 17-21 as (Seasons 8-12) instead
Big world, big adventures changes everything
But series 9-16 was the sharon Miller era and its terrible.
Season 8 was okay.
Everyone’s reaction to Thomas
Model series: Fantastic!

same
Same
as someone that grew up during HIT era thomas i still agree that the reboot is something that only greedy corporations would make
I also grew up with the HIT era
Model era = oh my god my era was amazing. i hope the future will better.
Reboot = Throwing your phone.
I'm 17 and although they never aired when I was young I still loved the OG Thomas and friends. I agree with you 100% this is a disgrace!

@@mediatrainfan0282 I can't remember which was mine
REST IN PEACE MY CHILDHOOD ABOUT THE REAL THOMAS AND FRIENDS NO THIS REBOOT 😢
I can imagine Awdry is screaming right now.
I remember having a VHS of thomas comes to breakfast that was given to me by my older sister, and I still have a few old hit era dvds in my garage, comparing even those to this new filth that’s being beaten out of the dead horse that is thomas and friends is like comparing a child’s scribble to the mona lisa
I grew up with dvds of episodes from seasons 1-12.
I’m seriously missing my ERTL Thomas Trains…
remember that wilburt audry NEVER wanted thomas to be a 2D cartoon
I'm only hearing about this today, CHILDHOOD RUINED
0:41 Yeah, engines telling the fat controller that something’s wrong with Mattel
I Love the Model Series and Nitrogen Era Thomas. I would keep watching New Thomas Episodes until the Era after 2015 or 2017. That’s when I got Upset with what they did with Thomas.
If only I knew that there was something wrong with popular programs getting bad ratings
I think this is a very unpopular opinion, but I grew up with the older Thomas, I'm in my middle teens and I personally think that THIS is the best Thomas in my opinion, obviously I respect how you feel about it and you actually brought up great points on the reboot and why it's bad.

I respect your views, I just sadly do not share them
The television version is supposed to be a spinoff of the railway series to bring stories life
This reboot isn’t Thomas the Tank Engine. After season 7, the show wasn’t the same.
They basically gave Thomas and Friends the Teen Titans Go treatment.
I seriously hate the new thomas series! It is nothing like the shows us 2000s kids had! 😭😔
It's probably not gonna last long anyway. 2 seasons and 104 episodes is alot for a greenlight and I'm already starting to see signs that this reboot is failing.
Magic Railroad killed it.
Even season 6-7 feels a bit different from the first 5 classic seasons.
I’d agree it didn’t have any story arcs and were very sporadically placed episodically but compared to anything that followed in comparison it was like series 1-5 ha
Season 5 didn’t have many story arcs like Seasons 1-4. Season 5 is insanely overrated by its fans despite being another good season.

Actually, even after the original 4th season the show got so much worse that it ceased to exist for me but this so-called reboot is outrageous.
I hate it. I remember the good old Thomas.
I never though when I was younger that Thomas would be doing loops!?
😔😔😔😔 what has Thomas came to.
Don’t think I’ll watch it and just stick to the OG Thomas
At least it's a different show. That will help me sleep better at night. What pissed me off was that the CGI was supposed to be seasons of the same show.
Just because it's different doesn't make it good.

Bro I loved Thomas and Friends as a kid this was definitely was one of the greatest shows that I've ever seen.
If I saw that thing on my TV, I'd fucking buy a new TV.
That thing in the reboot looks like a fuckle-monster crawling out of my toilet wanting to ruin my life!

Reboot Thomas makes me annoyed 😒, The original Thomas is better 👍
I like when hit entertainment made thomas the train in the cji series
My man I know this is irrelevant but i like your beard
No New Thomas. Yes Old School Thomas
30th March 2992 (recorded)
Im really disappointed in what thomas has become
I remember in 2009 When I was 4 they Switched The Model Version to the CGI one on the TV channel toggolino( a german TV channel) and I hate it already even tho I was a fucking kid
Do I see a Laurel and hardy hat?
Certainly did
I’m not having the point why they give up these series they were fantastic but this one it’s just bad I can’t bare to look at the show like this now
Back in the day from 1945 to 2007 it's been great. Also CGI but in October it's much different then it was in like 2015 when I was 2, in 2015 I really enjoyed Thomas the tank engine but now it's straight up crap.
Nothing beats the original and that's a fact!
The animation and voice acting for this new show aren't bad. They're just in the wrong franchise.
This makes no sense he jumps off the track and spins
its just as good as eating a minecraft block worth of lead
7:33 I’m one of them!
Thomas is now freaking chuggington!
Worse, Chuggington at least was it’s on show. This is a rehash of a beloved show that already had an identity and now has been tarnished
This is the end of the line for tank engines.
#justiceforEdward
I’m not exited for this reboot.
Don’t watch the reboot it is garbage
Nope
This video was made on my birthday
Model season,s oké CGI good from brenner season to 24 :good New reboot bad very bad
I don’t like the reboot but I think the hate is toxic
Sounds like you’re brainwashed by all this ‘political correctness’ bs.
Ooh, wow! One dislike! :D
(Probably Mattel)
4:10, 8:06
wow even i can tell the other one is better
How dare you respect a thomas reboot! *Mad*
