I'm just gonna be straight up and say that I haven't watched this and I never will. I've been a huge thomas fan ever since I was able to talk, I had a lot of thomas merch back then and the series pulled me in, but overtime I did eventually grow out of it after day of the diesels/blue mountain mystery came out.
I was still into thomas but it was more of a passing interest now since I was a teenager by the time, but when I saw the image of the reboot when it first came out I angered me and a lot of other people, I wasn't a fan of Mattel changing thomas ever since big world big adventure came out.
it annoyed me that they made thomas look like a fan-made animation video you find on youtube that has around 10 views, but at least an actual animation on youtube has more effort put into it then this.
anyways I'm getting off topic slightly, from what I've heard everyone in the show sucks, one of the main things I saw is that they ruined diesel and percy.
they somehow managed to take diesel, a manipulative and sly character who was made to be pretty much a villain, and turn him into thomas' "best friend" which is the entire opposite of his character from the original series.
now for percy... good lord what did they do to him. I already said I haven't seen the series and never will but from the reviews I see he's the whiniest prick ever. he sees thomas and diesel high five once and goes "oh so I'm not your friend anymore?" like a dog seeing their owner petting another dog and thinks they like the other dog more than them.
so overall; this series is a complete disgrace and stain upon the thomas series and fandom as a whole, I would rather watch misty island rescue a lot more then this, at least that had more effort then this junk. so if you have a kid and you want to show them thomas, don't show them this and show them what thomas truly was before this thing came out, you'll be doing them and everyone else a favor.
