      Exactly. Plus this is one of the few times in this era where they followed character development. At least Sir Handel becoming more mature is nowhere near as unbelievable as Skarloey and Rheneas becoming children.

    Bruh, that reaction proportion of the video had me cacklin. I f**king died at 22:35; I'm surprised no one has made that joke sooner.
    As for my thoughts on Season 12, I actually really enjoy it, and it's my favorite season of the HiT era surprisingly. I mean, the writing's still dogshite but I don't take it too seriously, and I still manage to find plenty of things to enjoy. I also know that Brandon's narration might have not been the best for some people, at least for this season, but I don't know, this is like my second favorite season that he's narrated behind 7. His energy is still present, and the voices or line reads that he does for the characters are unironically hilarious to me. I stan Hispanic Hector.

    Something I've never heard anyone bring up when talking about season 12 is it's color grading. The colors this season pop a lot more, and the blues are way deeper than the rest of the HiT Era. Seasons 8-11 have a big issue of being a pale yellow/dull blue with not much color (un-aided with the set designs), but this season felt a bit more lively with it's colors! Also yea feel free to 🤓 react me for this thing about color grading

    I feel like Hank is a character in the later seasons could’ve been used very well because if I remember correctly, there was a streamliner introduced that was based off the New York Central Hudson’s (I think his name is Connor ) and because Hank is based off of the Pennsylvania railroad K4 I feel like the two would have a very nice dynamic Especially considering some of the real life railroad history but one can dream

  • @TobyOliverHenryFan
    @TobyOliverHenryFan 2 дні тому +12

    I must give one thing to Season 12 and that is that it used a lot more of the secondary characters. I feel like only Duke and BoCo didn't appear at all during the HiT Era. Everyone else returned at least for Season 12.
    Also, I can probably sit through some Season 12 episodes, unlike ANY of the Nitrogen Era episodes.

    As someone that has since looked down upon Season 12 following that season being where the writing gradually took a sharp decline and other things too obvious for me to mention, I can say there are positives with Season 12 I do have such as Harold being CGI, James and Hector's dynamic, adding Hank as the first American tender engine with Hank also being the best newbie while Colin was just there and Flora was just completely useless (especially in her debut episode), the filming quality being a step upgrade, but with a much better looking lighting and camera font than Season 11's admittedly, and despite having wished they went for full CGI after "The Great DIscovery" and Season 11, and we do get to see more of Stanley.
    And props to you for bringing back Garfield!

    honestly if you ask me think the best season of the hit era is season 11, why?
    1: while episode like don’t be silly billy exist there’s actually hand full of great episode such gordon and the mechanic/engineer, emily the garbage/rubbish engine, cool truckings and hector the horrid.
    2: the sets aren’t as cheap and boring as the other seasons.
    3: a few minor characters make returns such as arthur, murdoch, elizabeth, even donald and douglas.
    4: the great discovery, need I say more?

    Compared to some of the episodes in BWBA (and the Miller era to an extent) season 12 is tame in comparison. While I’m not really a fan of Flora and Colin because the the people making them probably forget to give them a personally but I think Hank was good and I wish we got to see more of him.
    Also there were some parts I found humorous such as 2:12, 9:45, 10:59, 13:56, this whole entire scene 18:39. I kinda feel like this could be used as a meme template 19:04, the whole part of Thomas’s love for Flora and Henrietta’s jealousy of her was funny to me

    Season 12 of the beloved children's franchise "Thomas The Tank Engine & Friends" is in fact,
    the absolute peak of storytelling in the writing community,
    for it contains the episode "Push Me Pull You" which is a wonderful roller coaster of emotions.
    When Skarlowee crashed into those trucks of totally ice cream and not anything else,
    I felt it man, I felt that sticky shit land all over my body.
    Truly, 'twas the finest experience of a life time,
    the closest some of us will ever get to heaven ❤

    While I don’t like Season 12, at least there was a season to transition from Models to full CGI. Sure the writing is poor, the CGI has aged poorly, and logic is all over the place. But at least there was a transition between the two eras. Compared to how other changes were handled later, HIT must be given credit for having us ease into changes.

    Honestly, there are some things that I like about season 12 (the returning characters, Hector and Peter Sam's arcs, etc), but still it's not a good note to end on. I'm one of those who don't find it AS bad as people say it is, but it's really hard for me to disagree with others' opinions on it.
    Push Me, Pull You is no doubt the worst, but it's at least funny to joke around when watching it.

Edward was always my favourite character as a kid, and seeing him represented with such a horrible CGI face just ruined him for me. Not even S13 - S15 do that bad. They have pretty atrocious episodes, but at least the ENGINES LOOK NORMAL. Season 12's engines DON'T.

    1:34 While true, this isn't the OG first seven seasons of classic TTTE, S12 is such a downgrade from S8 in terms of story, characterization, and set design... and that animation I can NEVER get over how poorly it has aged. The Nitrogen Seasons in terms of animation quality hasn't aged nearly as poorly as S12. S13-S16 look as if they could've been made yesterday, or 20 years ago. Unlike S12, since with the use of models and CGI, you just *know* when it was made. 2000s/2010s when a lot of live live action kids shows switched over to animation. S12 will forever remain dated.
