Thomas the Tank Engine/YMMV: Difference between revisions

* [[Canon Sue]]: Duck & Boco, in both the original episodes, and fanfictions. Stanley to some degree.[[Possession Sue|Edward is also protrayed in this light in Fanfics.]]

* [[Cargo Ship]]: With most characters being steam locomotives, the list is ''long''. [[Fan Preferred Couple|Thomas/Emily]], [[Toy Ship|Thomas/Rosie]], [[Single Woman Seeks Good Man|Thomas/Molly]], [[Belligerent Sexual Tension|James/Emily]], [[Fan Preferred Couple|James/Molly]], [[Lolicon|Toby/Mavis]], etc.

* [[Complete Monster]]: Diesel 10, [[Fantastic Racism|for hating tank engines]], and trying to wreck [[Moral Event Horizon|attempting to wreck Lady]].

* [[Crowning Music of Awesome]]

* [[Designated Hero]]: Thomas in Misty Island Rescue. The most "useful engine" would be allowed to take a special train of logs, and Diesel think he's really useful. Thomas says, "[[Fantastic Racism|No, Diesel! I'm sure Sir Topham Hatt means a really useful STEAMIE. You'll never be that!]]". Diesel gets furious and runs off with the logs to prove he's as useful as a steam engine. In the end, Diesel gets punished, while Thomas never gets called out on insulting Diesel. Also in ''Steam Roller'', Skarloey and the others make fun of Sir Handel's wheels, and when Sir Handel sticks up for himself, Skarloey makes a plan "To make Sir Handel see sense." He's treated as being in the right for this.

* [[Ensemble Darkhorse]]: For main characters, Gordon. Other one off characters usually get quite popular.

* [[Fanon Discontinuity]]: ''The Magic Railroad'', which attempted to mix ''Thomas and Friends'' continuity with the completely different ''Shining Time Station''. It included an actually murderous [[Cartoon Creature]], Diesel 10, completely breaking the cosy [[Little England]] atmosphere of Thomas and frightening the intended audience of small children. The film has all but been removed from continuity, though characters Lady and Diesel 10 have shown up in later films.

* [[Fridge Logic]]: Particularily evident in the movie ''Calling All Engines''. If, as according to the movie, steam engines are every bit as efficient and reliable as diesels, why don't we still use steam?

** This one is more of an Adaptation-based question, but the Barber shop. Why was it ''right in front'' of the train tracks meant to capture a runaway train? The books explain that the Barber shop used to be a shed that was renovated.

* [[Seasonal Rot]]

* [[Special Effect Failure]]: The scene where Henry crashes at the end of "The Flying Kipper." You can see the hand.

* [[Tear Jerker]]: Henry's Forest.

* [[They Just Didn't Care]]: The writing team of season 15.

* [[Took the Bad Film Seriously]]: Peter Fonda in ''The Magic Railroad.'' Seriously.

* [[The Woobie]]: Both Henry and Peter Sam have had their moments.

** Percy in ''Day of the Diesels''.
