Why is this show so based?

I never realized how dark children's tv shows used to be. Now literally every song/scene has to be positive and it probably harms the child's growth into an adult.

Model trains look neat

Why is it called the Tank Engine? He's a train, not a tank.

It was written by an autistic vicar. He like teaching kids life lessons and he liked trains.

Everything bad that happened to the trains was because they defied God (the Fat Controller)

"Tank" refers to the tank of water that is heated to create steam that pressurizes the pistons and moves the wheels. He is actually a steam engine but I guess tank engine is a regional/colloquial term.

There is no such thing as eternal imprisonment. If it is possible for an immortal being to be freed, then that being must eventually be freed.

Is this trainkino?

Not even memeing, but Autistic kids are obsessed with this fucking train. And Sonic.

Why?

>>84449996
They relate to the non human characters

>>84449996
Autistic kids wish to go fast in order to avoid their bullies like in Forrest Gump.

Maybe it's to do with early bonding, even to non-existent "people". With some autistic people I've met it seems that they form their close relationships in early childhood and then struggle to form new ones for the rest of their lives.

>>84449165
>>84449216
Is that the same Henry?

>>84449255
Actually it's because of the design of the locomotive. The water tank is built around the boiler on the main chassis resulting in a smaller overall size locomotive without having a dedicated coal/water gin.

He did deserve it. That was a passenger train he was pulling, so you had all these people who were going to be stranded in the middle of nowhere for god knows how long just because he's a pussy who doesn't want to get wet, despite the fact that he presumably gets washed down daily anyway.

Too bad nearly all the female cast are bitches.

Eventually Daisy got taken off their run and they got stuck with Diesel.

It is a sign of bad combustion if you are blowing black smoke. Combustion is racist? After combustion, you are often left with black waste. Sounds racist.

Too much smoke is bad. Black smoke is bad. The right thing for a steam engine is some grayish smoke.

But he quickly stopped laughing when the manager told Smudger he was going to be useful one way or another. Smudger did not laugh at that and from then on, the only running Smudger did was as a generator behind the shed. He never went on the rails again.

>>84456547
I'm guessing it's because the punishment is kind of disproportional since as far as we know Henry stayed there forever.

This is really the most horrific thing I've seen in a couple decades.

>>84456484
Sodor is canonically train purgatory , they work under the brutal regime of Sir Topham Hatt to cleanse themselves of their sins and be allowed into train heaven.

Those who fail are sent to the scrap yards.

>>84456568
He would have stayed there forever. Fortunately Gordon broke down and Henry was the only one strong enough to save the day

>>84450458
Annie or Clarabel /tv/?

>>84449996
Not an autist, but I liked the show because of the beautiful details put into the scenery, the buildings, the sky. Also not a trainfag, but those models for the trains themselves are impressive.

>>84456568
But there's literally a recommended video right next to it showing the following episode where Henry gets out.

>>84456776
It really is. Every few years a petition comes up to get it on DVD but it never seems to get anywhere. Either HiT are faggots who won't license those episodes to Shining Time Station DVDs or the people behind the petitions lose interest before it gets anywhere.

>>84456976
Is it bad that one of my things to do with a time machine is to make sure that test audience is comprised of myself and a few other Thomasfags so we can get the real movie?

>>84456994
I'm British and I travelled the U.S for months. Most of your trains lines, even in places like NJ and New York are freight orientated. Compared to Europe you barely any train lines.

>>84449216
Holy fucking christ, people are getting triggered left and right about this simple and effective life lesson for kids. It's no joke, people really are complete pussies nowadays. How can someone genuinely feel this is too horrifying to show to kids?

The US has huge tracts of land, and rather a low population density. It makes more sense to fly. The US freight lines however, can accommodate wider, taller, and longer cars than Europe.

>>84457229
>Hey Arnold!: The Jungle Movie is an upcoming two-hour American animated television film split into two parts and is based on Craig Bartlett's Hey Arnold! TV series. The film will be a sequel to 2002's Hey Arnold!: The Movie and the two-part series finale "The Journal", which also premiered in 2002 on Nickelodeon, as part of the fifth and final season. The movie will serve as the definitive series finale, and will answer all the unanswered questions, including the whereabouts of Arnold's missing parents.

Kek im going to use this against environmentalists now.

>>84457603
What kind of sadistic shit is this

>>84457482
Trains are mechanically complicated machines that run on tracks. Hence, many autists love trains.

>>84457830
They also have many wheels, and very young autistic kids like spinning things.

Plus there's a billion slightly different types, making them easy to categorise and organise

>>84449216
Henry is only sealed off from the front.
He can escape literally any time.
The fat controller (a metaphor for the jew) aks him to do some train job the next episode.

>>84457771
he was an asshole who kept speeding and derailing himself.

>>84449216
This show used to be favorite as a kid


I think it spurned my reflective stoicism and tragic sense of vulnerability

Why is there so many rusty and scrapped trains in Sodor scrap yards?
Where did they all come from? Were they all former Sodor trains? Or is the Fat Cunt shipping them in and running an Indian/Turkey boat style slave labour scrapping operation?

I couldn't stop laughing at the autism. The only thing that really surprised me/spooked me was when Thomas coughed up blood on the children. Some of the train faces were disturbing like with the eyes exploding and the skeleton part was pretty cool but it went on for too long and I didn't think the twist was really that shocking. The screaming sounds were well done.

>>84449216
This is literally capitalist propaganda

>>84449996
I was genuinely diagnosed Autism when I was 5, and it still affects my daily life, though not as much as when I was a kid.

I lovde Thomas as a little kid, then I got into Jurassic Park, then Pokemon/Digimon. It was just a love of trains for me, that, and I loved the sets, it was just a comfy show, all of which I grew out of when I was 6ish.

Sonic, I don't get. Besides eating Sonic-head ice creams from the ice cream truck, that franchise was never a part of my childhood. The porn is pretty good, though, depending on the artist.

>>84456722
>>84458039
>>84458391
I'm surprised at how good it is at setting atmosphere

>>84461686
Trains were always the key fixation of autists over the past century and a half due to the timetables, many variants, regularity etc. Thomas just took its to its logical conclusion and became a hobby to surpass real trains.

>>84462173
