Let me tell you about Diesel 10 (I'm only larping about knowing every single thing about him, because I am not too invested into the Thomas series, since I'm only mildly autistic)
Makes me think of like, Mussolini and other dictators and politicians in JJK
“Domain Expansion: Trains on Time…”
(Domain Expansion, Trains on Time is Benito Mussolini’s ultimate trump card. It allows him to restrict his trapped opponents’ counterattacks to only be capable of performing on a set rhythm, as if they were public services like Trains running on a perfect schedule. This enforced conditional non-violence makes Trains on Time a very powerful Domain Expansion, and the most effective defense tool available to any Cursed Dictator.)
Season 5 is where a lot of more action focused episodes were present as a supposed "test" for the upcoming Thomas and the Magic Railroad Movie. Some examples are a train being saved from going over a waterfall, a boulder destroying a building in a fiery explosion, a crane falling over in the middle of a raging storm, and an engine almost being scrapped (basically killed) right in front of the audience's eyes.
Obviously still for kids but still an increase in action over the previous seasons.
That episode frightened me badly, I had the wooden train set piece for that episode that came with a brown plastic boulder and I wouldn’t place with it because that episode was so frightening
You could tell David Mitton (the series’ director) really wanted to do movies, because both Thomas and his passion project TUGS are full of moments like this.
TUGS was even more extreme, with an entire episode culminating in a harbor engulfed in flames.
Yeah that’s the one, I think as a toddler that was the most memorable for how it scared me too tbh, I dunno why exactly but the fluidity of the water/swamp the train fell into made the scene feel extra off with how stiff the trains can be in the older seasons if that makes any sense
I don't know, I'm only mildly autistic (disclaimer for Thomas fans, this is only just a joke, it's okay you to be fans of Thomas, depending if your either neurotypical, neurodivergent, to any severity, just have a good day)
I mean, you say "asshole" as if he doesn't threaten to toss Mr. Conductor off a bridge if he didn't tell him what he wanted to know. Bro was heinous for a children's show.
On the rails it was a white-line nightmare. Only those mobile enough to scavenge, brutal enough to pillage would survive. The gangs took over the railways, ready to wage war for a shovel of coal. And in this maelstrom of decay, ordinary trains were battered and smashed. Trains like Thomas. The Tank Engine Thomas. In the roar of an engine, he lost everything. And became a shell of a train, a burnt out, desolate train, a train haunted by the demons of his past, a train who wandered out into the wasteland of Sodor.
The first diesel 10 movie (like the one where i think model trains or something similar were used?) Gave me nightmares when I had a really high fever as a kid
Diesel 10 always made me scared as a child and made me develop a deep hatred for Sir TopHam Hatt for not doing anything about him. He lets one of his children practically murder the others for seemingly no reason. He always gets on them for causing confusion and delay and disrupting the system of transmission, but when Diesel not only breaks every rule he has and moral standards, he does absolutely nothing.
Diesel 10 maybe a cruel monster, but Sir TopHam Hatt is a neglectful monster.
