Baldwin’s voice for James of Season 5 was too deep to be girl’s voice. But then again, I’ve seen some women with deep voices. Shohreh Aghadashloo is one of them. She was the voice of Queen Janna in the Disney Jr. series; The Lion Guard. And she was the voice of Queen Forouzan of the newest Kung Fu Panda series; The Dragon Knight.
Does the TV series ever actually state what the difference is between a tank and tender engine? It could be that someone unfamiliar with railroading just assumed it was a synonym for steam engine.
James doesn't even _have_ wrists and I can fucking HEAR the limp wrist in his voice. The funniest part is, out of the original Engines, I'd argue James is the most likely to be Bi or Pan.
Chill out, man. You can't expect everyone to be as familiar with railway terms as you. Not everyone in the world is a _Thomas_ fan or a railway enthusiast. The second someone gets their terms wrong when talking about _Thomas,_ the fans go absolutely berserk.
James is gay with HIMSELF, if you think about it, lmao Cuz he LOVES his paint, but paint is part of his body. So TECHNICALLY he was ALWAYS gay, with himself.
@@jaanshersaeed4541 I thought so. James of Team Rocket also comes off as such. I almost wonder if Alec saw Pokémon and purposely based his James voice on the one from Pokémon.
@parker-boy98 Yeah, I know, but my brother still thought that. (Plus he was like 4. He also thought Percy was a girl for the same reason. I think Magic Railroad was the first "Thomas related" thing that he saw.)
@@thatrandomredengine9430 i'm not saying he's homosexual and he could still use "he" pronouns as genderfluid. I think it's partially my dub and the fact that i could not believe that there was no female engine.
So this is where people thought Baldwin intended for James to be gay. “That’s your interpretation” Lol. Yeah, the host called James a tank engine. What a silly mistake!
“I deserve a new coat of paint, sir Topham Hatt says I’m the pride of the line and..” “I’d rather not!” Wow didn’t think James would resist a new coat of paint 💀
I know it's a joke, but it was in repurpose to Thomas saying "Just look at me" To which James is all "I'd rather not, you're not a pleasant site!" OMG, the sass! XD
@@parker-boy98ik the “I’d rather not” is directed at Thomas. Just the context of him saying it right after talking about getting a new coat of paint with no reference of Thomas and his state makes it funnier!
I always read James as kinda fem as a kid. Even though he has a boy’s name, his red coat and his slender look compared to the other big engines Henry and Gordon made him seem kinda… girly?… to me. Doesn’t help he sounded ultra feminine in Magic Railroad. Maybe it was projection on my part as a queer person growing up, hard to say, but I always identified with that side of him even though I was too young to consciously realise at the time.
I dunno, in terms of design, I don't really see James or any of the other engines as masculine or feminine. To me, they're just steam locomotives who happen to have faces. Steam engines aren't masculine or feminine to me, besides, I like them better than people anyways. Sorry, I'm a train nerd, as are probably the majority of Thomas fans. If you're interested, there is a video essay by The Unlucky Tug about how director David Mitton used several tricks to make these model trains with faces look as big and lifelike as possible!
@@NorthWestern1919 Oh yeah I definitely don’t think any of the characters are intended to be particularly gendered one way or another, at least not in the books or the first few seasons of TV. They are machines first and foremost. I was just saying how I always subjectively read James as feminine growing up but in retrospect I think it was mostly projection, still it’s always fun to imagine these characters in a different light. As for Unlucky Tug, I’ve been a fan of his for a while, even before his original channel was terminated (RIP)
@@RadioactiveChannel06 Yeah, I completely understand. And if you haven't heard already, I'm sure you'll be glad to know that Unlucky Tug has a new channel now, with the same name, and has reuploaded most of his videos.

I'm with Baldwin. Gay James is the talk show host's interpretation.
I always knew it that James was secretly fruity especially in season 5.
I always thought James was genderfluid. The red color was stereotypically misleading, but he did want to look special and sass everybody 24/7.
Really? Cause James was ALWAYS called a “he” by the narrator.
Though he does act questionable, that’s driven by vanity, not from homoerotic motives.
