Alright, so I've never watched any of your videos back when you were Duckfan, but I'm sure I have passed by them before, but despite that, I would like to give you a formal "welcome back/glad you're not dead". Anyway, I really like your analysis here on the differences between the two CGI Sad Story of Henry flashbacks. I never actually thought about how the sky remaining cloudy throughout the original story and in the BMM flashback sort symbolized the gloomy and depressing theme of the episode (along with giving Henry a better excuse to say what he said to passengers when they tried to get him out). As much as I love The Adventure Begins, I do think that Blue Mountain Mystery handled the flashback better, mainly with how it's presented and how Henry's potrayed. That's not to say that I don't like The Adventure Begins version as I do, and I'm probably one of the few people that actually likes worrier Henry, but with how he behaves in the original story and episode, BMM did a better job with making Henry's reaction more akin to how it was there unlike TAB where he's literally afraid of the rain. One could say with the flashback in TAB ending off where the flashback in BMM started from, that Henry could've grown that standoffish mindset after the many attempts to try and get him out; I feel like that could still work in favor of Henry's punishment feeling a little more justified. It depends on who would choose to go along with that assumption. I'm also pretty sure that the reason for Henry being a lot more paranoid about the rain in TAB (other than it falling in line with his CGI persona) is so they could have a scene where Henry gets over that fear as well as having Thomas being the one to help him through that fear in an act to show his more humble side; as well as so Henry wouldn't have too small of a role, but I'm sure people have pointed that out plenty of times. Besides the differences you pointed out, really, the only other differences between the two flashbacks only stem from a visual standpoint. The one I think about the most is Nitrogen removing a track from each bore of Henry's tunnel and removing the additional elevation to the tunnel that was added in Magic Railroad. They really did try to get as accurate as possible with the flashbacks in that movie, even if they only lasted for like 20 seconds each. I apologize for this comment being so freaking long, but I do look forward to these essay videos you're starting to make.
@@sammyclark4992 Omg! Thank you so much for the welcome back! I really appreciate it!🥺❤️ Really, I returned because I realized that this fandom is indeed special as it allows all of us to share our long lived love and appreciation for the show and I have loved the show for as long as I can remember, so I came back because I realized that I’m proud of being a Thomas fan and have always been proud of being involved with other fellow Thomas fans (despite my former Duck fan self being….a SOMEWHAT questionable persona. Lol. Though even though I’ve long moved on from that personality of mine, Duck is still one of my favorite characters. You know, just not….THAT much. Lol) And yes! I do agree with your point on the flashbacks. BMM did handle it a lot better and made it look & feel a lot closer to the source material, but I also love your points on TAB one as well. Like yeah, Henry was more wimpy here unlike the other flashback, but it allowed Thomas to show his humble, kind character which in return started his positive impact on the engines and railway. Huh. I never thought of it like that. Good eye!😊 But yes, again thank you so much for the kind welcome back! Can’t wait to make more videos for y’all in near future! TYSM for watching! Stay tuned!😁❤️
