    An analysis of “Munitions” please. The absolute chaos that episode brings toppled with the fact that it’s all models, sets and practicality is what makes it my favorite episode.

    This was the first episode of Tugs I ever saw and I was hooked afterwards. You know, when Big Mickey was introduced in the CGI era of Thomas, I thought for sure they'd introduce the rest of the Tugs characters. Odd they didn't. Oh, well. Great job with this analysis. Can't wait to hear your views on "Munitions".

      Agreed my man, honestly I gave TUGS a really hard time before watching it! I had known of it but chopped it up to “not my thing” until on a whim I watched the whole series and now I feel like I’m late to the party! Either way though I do wish they came around abit more but at the same token I’m happy we have what we do! Thank you for the comment boss! :) 👌

  • @otakurailfan
    @otakurailfan Před 3 lety +1

    I always assumed most Thomas fans would love tugs, or show some Intrest In it. Tugs hits a huge spot for me cause while I love trains, I'm also a maritime enthusiast, and I've always loved tugboats since I was a kid, high tide is definitely one of my favorite episodes! I vaguely remember watching as a kid "salty's lighthouse" which reused and edited scenes from Tugs into new stories, wasn't until years later I found out about Tugs, and was instantly hooked.

  • @Vomahanew
    @Vomahanew Před 3 lety +2

    Discussing Tugs is apt since the Marklin engine used for The Goods Engine was also used in the early TV series. Munitions comes to mind as one you should look at. It too has trains in the plot, as does Upriver.

  • @Pepperknight341

    Out of the 13 episodes; those three are the ones i like, the other 10 didn't click with me.
    I wish it'd lasted longer/would come back. I've even imagined how a comeback could've happened; with Thomas encountering Ten Cents at Brendham Docks as the latter helped bring in a ship while on loan to The Fat Controller.
