    I love the idea of Percy being scolded like a school student for not doing something the right way and being told how to do it better. Percy also has a good defense in that he’s been on this island longer than Duck and Oliver so why should he listen to them. Even though it is constructive criticism, he overreacts like any one would. Very nice touch. A relatable story to loads.

    Amazing episode! Wished we had more stories with Percy or Edward on the Little Western as there aren't that any by the fandom. This also feels like an episode out of Season 5 too.

    I think in a way Duck and Oliver were partly to blame for the incident as before Percy started working they should have explained what there is to know about running the line because when you're new to the place it's important to know all the basics, and it kind of felt like they rubbed in on him when he came to the shed for rest.

      Somewhere along the lore in the TV series where it is either about him or being Thomas's friend.
      The Top three characters in the TV series were Thomas, Percy and James so that kind shaped their storylines.

    I love Percy replacing Thomas for this episode. Duck and Percy were together a lot in the early series’s like in Double Header, Duck Takes Charge, All At Sea, Diesel Does It Again and Scaredy Engines. It would be great to pair these two together, with a different approach, as Percy, like Thomas, breaks the rules to have fun and Duck is more a traditionalist and abides by rules to work hard.

    I feel like Oliver is out of character he doesn’t believe in the great western way… at all the great western literally tried to scrap him… duck however is in character very over exaggerated almost CGI version of his character which isn’t necessarily a bad thing but if you’re going for the TVs style this story didn’t work(When it comes to Oliver)

  • @patronstdenial5195
    @patronstdenial5195 Рік тому +3

    I do like this story, but idk know I feel like there’s more potential to be achieved here. Like I feel that both parties could learn a lesson here. Sure Percy at the start messed up the quality of his work, doesn’t listen to Duck and Oliver’s righteous 2 cents, and gets his comeuppance.
    Whereas, Duck -at Percy’s accident- looking hella smug and condescending, most likely afterwards, will have grown proud, conceited and extra controlling for sake of his heritage.
    (I’ve no doubt that Oliver is somewhat proud of GWR roots and customs too but I can’t say he’d be ever go kissing GWR asses like Duck.)- In his context is reckon that Oliver would get a big head solely over vindication and his knowledge/intellect.
    Anyway with both our westerners on a confident streak, Percy no doubt would get angry at this. Maybe try and pay them back or wait until one of them slips up to get even.
    Maybe it’s just me but I feel like, Oliver’s vainglory would be short-lived; either because not even he can stand Duck’s big mouth, some (I’d guess) minor manner of folly (maybe light derailment), or maybe he just eventually comes back down to earth with a few words or on his own accord.
    Essentially I feel like Duck would be the main issue. He’d probably boast a bunch about the grandeur of the GWR, and start unnecessarily micromanaging Percy and eventually Oliver.
    But by the end when all’s said and done and everyone’s been humbled, Percy admits that he should be most receptive to reason and advice, especially in new situations; And Duck & Oliver apologize for their vanity, egos and their condescending delivery of criticism. Duck moreso for being so overbearing, neurotic, and a self-righteous asshole.
    Both sides learn that they were both in the wrong and have some growing to do.
    But what would be the cherry on top to this alt-version would be a lack of appearance from TFC. Idk personally I’d like to see such conflict be resolved without his input, and moreso just from the engines, their crews and other rail staff.
    Just my opinion though, take it or leave it ✌️
