I do hope stories of sodor would go back to it's early seasons roots, I feel like Victor Tanzing was trying too hard with newer seasons, and season 5 was just the last straw for me, so I hope he does turn back into simple but exciting and appealing stories like season 1 and 2 again
Victor didn't write it he stated in a community post that this user wrote and filmed all of it, all Victor did was supply the voice recordings However I agree, this was really well written
@@ww08 Yeah, and Victor still did a good job voicing it! And I still rate it 10/10. I wonder if many of these stories in this "episode" will appear in his Season 6.
@@matthewpowell2429 Honestly I think it's possible for a couple concepts to come to light, like bear and the other diesel, I definitely think they'll be coming up. Idk, this guy did a really good job with incorporating the rws stories into Victor's style. I can't wait to see what Victor actually does for season 6!
To learn that this wasnt written by Victor intrigues me. I think you did a terrific job writing in his style. The vocabulary, the comedy, the writing styles and choices, touching on the rws stories. It's all really good. I also really like how you used the musical parts as montages of like movement instead of getting rid of dialogue. idk if that's explained really well at all, but I think that victor style choice was done much better here than he has in the past. Idk, the writing was relaly believable sooo, well done!
Ok. I just saw Victor's post, and holy shit! You recreated his style so damn well! I was actually legitimately confused on who made this. Bravo mate bravo!
I’m definitely considering this canon, as this was a much greater improvement in terms of the pace’s breathing room over the last season. Splendid work, Victor!
Well! One other thing I can say about this episode is that we FINALLY get a Super Rescue homage!! All right! A lot of us have been waiting for that one! Well done! Albeit, it was only a few certain scenes from that episode, but at least there were even homages to Train Stops Play and Bowled Out. Another one for the latter since there was one in "Aviation".
Dang it, I’m genuinely frustrated this was an April Fools joke because that was actually pretty good. Curse you Victor and your superb April Fools pranks!!!
Okay I’m actually mad at you Victor 😑😠😠😔😂😂😂😭😭😭😭. First of all…THIS EPISODE WAS FANTASTIC!!!! The whole thing was absolutely perfect!! I know that’s just my opinion but really it is no doubt one of my favorites. A lot of other fellow people in here agree as well!! D**n I swear man, this is kind of tough to accept. I know fans can’t always get what they want, and that’s totally fine I’ve had to let things be sometimes and you are always dedicated with what you do. However…THIS IS THE ONE THING I really really….wanted adapted, that being the Stepney Stories. I pray this will appear on Victor’s channel soon and be one of the first episodes of Season 6. We can only hope 😢☹️😭😭🙏🙏, I’m not actually crying but I truly do love this and am sad it’s not Canon, so being canon is what I’m hoping for. Positive note: The Rick roll at the end was hilarious lmao 😂😂😂😂🤣🤣🤣
Percy saying Thomas' name at 7:16 hit me like a ton of bricks. That aside, I think I'll be rewatching the episode quite a lot until Season 6 makes it real debut because it's really good.
I know this isn't real, but this is honestly a really well written episode that I can completely see working within the actual series. It gave me back a season 2 and 3 vibe that I felt was missing in latter eps. Different time period but same SOS energy as the first couple of seasons. A lot of good banter and honestly this could be a good adaptation for the first episode of season 6, or my own personal head canon lol.
I'm sure he will return. If Victor really wanted to kill Thomas he would've been blown to pieces like Colin, Lily, Benson and Mickey because having him survive the explosion only to die offscreen later is weird unless he's in a green water induced coma like Barry was. Afterall, Derek told Donald that Thomas was filled to the brim with green water just before he "died". He was also sent to Barry Island Scrapyard which is famous for accidentally preserving steam engines and he wasn't even broken up before being sent for scrap. Not only that, but Edward didn't confirm that Thomas was melted down like he did with Adam and Randolf. Victor has also stated in a community post that he does have plans for Thomas but they won't happen for a couple of years.
HAHAAHAHAHAHA! WHAT!? That ending surprised me! Who're you talking about Hemingway? And rickrolled during the credits! I still believe it was ALL real, except for that ending. It should be once the officially gets released.
Ngl felt like it would be real And the part where Caroline got metal fatigue honestly felt pretty dark Also have to wonder if Patrick will actually start off as a jerk or not (I don’t know about him actually disappearing as he’s appeared working in the intros) and what Bear’s actual name would be
Amazing Job! This Video Looks So Much, Like It Was Made By Victor! Everything Looks Like His Style, He's Narrating It and The Models and Background Are Like His! Unbelievably Incredible! I Burst Out Laughing At The End.
@@tudorbrancuturcu5996 Why are you answering the most random comments on random videos from me? 😂🤔 Hey Tudor. Could you write a comment under anything from me please 👍
When I heard bear I was like Oh finally! Bear is joining the victor-verse now if this is the real first episode of seasone 6 I'm gonna watch Victor's chanell til lthe day I die and I will get my kids to watch I know they might like it Edit:Stepney!
This felt so real until the end... 😂😅 Only the lack of sound effects for scenes with music and no dialogue. I was expecting "Super Rescue" to be recreated in this... 😊
not surprised that it’s not cannon since like the tvs it doesn’t align with stepney’s real life history. though I don’t really understand why he went through all that trouble to make a story that doesn’t exist in the series. plus when will stepney bear patrick and caroline really be introduced to the series?
Unironically I really enjoyed this. I was wondering what the catch was, and I think putting out a video that could easily be a new episode is a great idea. It means there's a great story to watch even if you think it's a joke.
Wow, this was, like... an actual episode. With an actually serious plot and and a decent adaptation of TVS/RWS stories. Victor really went through a lot of effort to make something that's just an April Fools joke
7:17 I love Stepney’s theme now this is the first time I’ve heard it, I heard it in the TVs but I didn’t know it was a theme of an engine at the time, but this made me love the theme and it just makes me happy by the sound of it
I really hope the real S6 will have this style of story as this captures the simple story telling of S1, S2, S3 and S4. No crazy explosions, no deaths that are too hard to watch as we grew to adore them since day one. Time for simple stories again.
EVERY TIME I HEAR HIM MENTIONED I LET OUT A TEAR IN HIS HONOR😭 At least Stepney is a good worker 🙂 And when I realized we had been rickrolled I just laughed my ass😆🤣
This isn't the first time something like this has happened. Don't forget last year when Thunderbolt 1000 Siren Productions covered the Wreck of the Flying Kipper the same way he did his other short documentaries on train wrecks.
Oh my god Jeffries back and Peter oh my god guys the back I love this new series Peter in the fun nail is the yellow engine Anna what's his name Mickey also in the film he's the big red engine with the number 5 this is better than the other series
Oh, no. Oh, dear. How terrible. Curse you, vile leaks!
Jokes on you, this is still going to be my favorite episode!
Oh Hey Victor
But is the introduction of stepny cannon?
Please don't hate me for watching the whole thing😢
I actually thought it was real
"did you hear something Stepney, must have been the wind"
"yes the winds of change"
That is some great writing
Wildnorwester reference?
Even though this is an April Fools Video, I’m just glad the length of the episode is more extensive than before.
Indeed
I already told Victor this, but this was THE MOST sophisticated April Fools joke you collaborated on!
"First draft. Fuck you Hemmingway!"
Nice reference :3
i dont get it
Randy Feltface
@@jamielee1259 Ernest Hemingway once said, "The first draft of anything is shit." Victor no doubt proved him wrong.

NO DONT GIVE HIM ANY IDEAS 😂
@@Ms-Vlogs. He already has ideas for Thomas. But they won't happen for a couple of years.

I think this is more of just bad timing
Gordon would probably argue otherwise 😂
Me too
Same
Plot twist: it's the actual episode, but the Edward ending was added to trick people.
I hope so
He *did* say "First Draft", so hey maybe this will be the first episode but now theyre gonna flesh it out more for the proper release
The fact that he referenced Randy Feltface is the best part about this episode
Even if this is a prank, it’s still a vast improvement over Season 5.

I liked Season 5.
Fuck if you agree with me but she didn't fight with really dark

also correct me if I’m wrong but caroline was shown to have died from metal fatigue in a past episode.
