Other than that, she's more of a forgettable plot device than a "character". Sure, Britt tried to give her personality in the re-worked script, but it a) wasn't enough and b) put more of an emphasis on what she was actually there for rather than giving her an actual character. CAE gave her a "guardian angel" kind of personality, but that was at the expense of what fans found appealing about her in the first place.<br /><br />Vinnie, however, brought out genuine anger within me. He wasn't an antagonist, no matter how much those who have seen illegal, badly filmed cinema recording want to say. Diesel 10 was an antagonist. Spencer was an antagonist in Hero of the Rails. Vinnie is just a bully akin to the kind of scum you'd see on a school playground. It's not pleasant and there's nothing to like about him. That's what makes a genuinely bad character rather than one that has little to them for whatever reason. Those kinds of "characters" are just pointless and forgettable.Chrishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16256608035072085353noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1941188284965945680.post-26942375643741029232016-07-04T13:17:35.365+01:002016-07-04T13:17:35.365+01:00Wow, THE worst?

The special could involve many other Southern Railway engines that could be Thomas' old friends (ideas I came up with are Callum the LB&SCR K class, Devon the LB&SCR D3 class [both in Maunsell green], Birch the E4 class [in LB&SCR brown] and then Chat the aforementioned SE&CR P class in the blue that Bluebell is preserved in)PrimevalDinosaurKinghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03909419639693778216noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1941188284965945680.post-42914359531931867672016-05-29T12:08:46.406+01:002016-05-29T12:08:46.406+01:00That is a very interesting idea, especially for a ...That is a very interesting idea, especially for a special Chrishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16256608035072085353noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1941188284965945680.post-40756450027899020592016-05-29T12:07:01.201+01:002016-05-29T12:07:01.201+01:00This post actually made me think of what would be ...This post actually made me think of what would be good steam engine antagonists. And then I had a brainwave, instead of the steamie antagonist being a tender engine, what if it was a small tank engine like an SE&CR P class that was tired of being unimportant and so wants to take over Thomas' branch line?PrimevalDinosaurKinghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03909419639693778216noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1941188284965945680.post-48578235574432026212016-05-29T01:13:48.760+01:002016-05-29T01:13:48.760+01:00It's hard to explain fully on Twitter, especia...It's hard to explain fully on Twitter, especially when you have some fans not wanting spoilers (which is fair enough) as well as only 140 characters to work with :PChrishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16256608035072085353noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1941188284965945680.post-15229966114777497592016-05-29T00:10:32.813+01:002016-05-29T00:10:32.813+01:00At first I didn't really get why you hated Vin...At first I didn't really get why you hated Vinnie so much, but... yeah I get it now.
