    Uhm........? Ok . Plot holes. And whole thomas the tank engine fandom dedicated to this nonsense

    I first saw this and the other sequel of this Thomas the tank engine video during lockdown of 2020 covid 19 pandemic.

    Aswell as the ending of the ben drowned arg finale. Which I had been watching aswell as this.

    I have to say . What did I watch.

    I remember watching Thomas the tank engine from when I was about 4 or 5 years old.

    Seeing this as an 18 year old adult. Im so confused and facisinated at the same time.

    I didnt know Thomas the Tank Engine had a fandom?...

    Like most pop culture today has every fandom behind it. And a franchise.

    So I knew of this video From a Social media Influencer called LuigiKid. 🙄.

    And I watched the first movie of this on youtube.

    Well. I do have to say. It was ok.

    Im guessing and hinting that. Most people in this fandom either have Special ed?... im not being rude or anything.

    But from someone who has Special needs myself. And I went to a school and a college that has alot of special needs adults and children. Who are like the people in this fandom. And i know theres lots of unique humans with special needs. And we are all different. But....

    Its no wonder why. Theres teens and adults who are into playing with Thomas the tank engine figures and liking this aswell?.... on social media.

    Im just saying like. Because ive seen adults and teens play with childrens toy on youtube about this.

    And my conclusion is that. Theres a 50/ 50 percent chance that the fandom has People with Interlectural disabilities?....

    Theres nothing wrong with that. But im just saying.

    Also im guessing Paulsvid the guy who made these two movies im not being rude. But it kind of looks like he has some learning difficulties too.

    Because ive seen things that question the behaviour of this fandom. Cos and outsider like me. Or anyone else you know that Comes across a fandom that might be different or strange. We tend to often come up with conclusions. Really.

    Behaviour I mean what I just said. Minutes ago.

    Anyways. Too the plot of this whole story.

    I know this is supposed to be a dark and weird part of a fandom .

    I .eg MLP etc

    But like this is so bizare.

    to me fandoms are just bizare and strange.

    And some fandoms I do think should be banned off the internet for good. But.

    This fandom is just Bizare. A fandom made off of a british kids show.

    Well. I will just make some criticism. On this shed 17 video. Also big Plotholes too. And what does this all mean.

    One question. How can scientists who bio fuse humans into tank engines clone a whole human anatomy from the humans that wanted to be turned into engines. Except for Thomas.

    And fit their cloned anatomied bodies into engines?

    Dont understand that?.

    Second. How can you clone someone who died by a train like thomas. I know this is a story but like paulsvids could of gone into detail more about how the scientist cloned thomas?..

    I know shed 17 and Project G1 are both stories made to shock and scare some people in this Thomas fandom . But like mainly these two youtube movies had no explanation and mainly they both disturbed and offended people too.

    Ok so a make up a fake lore for a fandom thats on a british kids show and is made into two youtube videos. That are just edgy?... for the sake of scaring the people in the fandom with no context to why and how but its Just scary.

    Anyways. Some plots are mixed with what happened in the actual TV show?.... if its your own Lore or a lore of something thats been parodied.Dont base it on something that wasnt true in the first place. To make it seem more edgy and scary.

    And it also makes the viewer watching this confused . With plotholes that dont explain the plot?..

    Its a why, what How, and when situation. If Paulsvid ever learnt that in school.

    I dont think much people who make Books or movies know whats the when, what, how and why . If they used that there wouldnt be any plotholes. And people could understand it better.

    So the conductor in the actual tv series has a name that isnt mention in the actual series. And is the protagonist of the two fan made deadpasta youtube vids.

    I dont remember anyone who had a name when I watched the show when I was 4. I only remembered thomas but no one else. I had the show on and old VHS tape in the 200s. So. And my Grandma had Thomas on hers two. And i dont percifically remember any names mentioned than Thomas in the show.

    I know this parody deadpasta story and the actual real events and lore from the show and the books dont mix with this. At all.

    but the plotholes and the lore mixed with already existing lore is confusing in the two videos.

    The origin story to Thomas the tank engine. The Whole actual story is just engines like real life steam trains but made into a book and based on real steam engines.

    But its now been turned into a edgy backstory on how Thomas and his friends became engines?...

    The actual Lore is that. In Thomas the tank engine most children didnt seem to notice any of this not even me but.

    The fat controller isnt a nice man. He always reminded me of my dad when I was a little girl. Because my dad is slightly fat but not to obease and bold.

    And the fat controller in shed 17 and Project G1 his I say Fan character Arc and lore have been extended. A bit. In the two fan movie videos on youtube.

    So Thomas the tank engine lore the actual factual lore instead of a edgy deadpasta lore.

    Is Authoritarian theory and i say some what actual lore. Compared to a fan lore of Bio fusion of humans and engines?...

    Because The fat controller never actual did any of the things in this edgy fan film lore. Than in the actual lore.

    Bits of the actual lore come into shed 17 with the green tank engine getting pilled with blocks. By the fat controller for disobeying orders. As his punishment. And thats an actual true event of what happened in the show

    But the railway with the other steam train didnt happen. In the actual show.

    Adults mainly saw this . Alot. Cos in any kids movies or shows some of the jokes or content most of the time its aim at adults and it just goes over the kids head.

    But adults seem to realise anothing thing too aswell as what happened with the other steam train in the bricks. the fat controller sells the engines who have disobeyed. their engine parts somehwere. And He destroys them and takes them apart. To sell them.

    Thats the an actual factual Lore and events that happened in the shoe.

    And Not a fake fan one that doesnt make sense.

    Theres also a scientist. Who is also. From this other video that paulvids did. Which is the same character in Shed 17 and Project G1 videos.

    Ok Enough of the plot holes and errors and total mix of lores.

    Lets see the problems with the Shed 17 video. Itself.

    I know the whole story and plot is all over the place and mixed up with alot of different lores.

    But one thing is dont try to make. A horror or a thriller film of book Funny at all. With references that. Nobody found funny. Or have references that dont make people laugh.

    I could remember. Well. Theres alot of refrences to movies. In Project G1. But.

    Only 2 stupid references. One that i didnt see. And that was explained.

    A Game of thrones reference and. I tell you not. Someone who reviewed this . Said theres a game of throne reference that nobody saw.

    I looked at how paulsvid animated the two vids behind the scenes.

    When Thomas's father kills himself because of what he has done by Bio fusing humans together with machines.

    Stardust instead of blood comes out.

    Because the show. Was wooden. Thats what Paul said But its not wooden in your fan film is it?... and its not a reference.

    Mainly if you seen the two fan films on youtube hes made It all CGI. And he compares CGI to wooden figures from a show that was made so long ago before CGI was ever made.

    But the new Thomas the tank engine isnt wood no more its CGI. How stupid.

    And the new Thomas the tank engine is Politically Agendered.

    Anyways.

    Ok so. How comes the Engines who die have Blood. Organs and skeletons are shown in scenes. When either they die horrible. Etc.

    But like when Thomas's dad when commits suicide no blood comes out just star dust. Thats two of the most stupid scenes ever.

    And they dont make sense.

    And one more thing. Racial stereotypes.

    Most people who reviewed this who arent in the fandom like I am. Etc. People who dont join. Fandoms. For good reasons.

    But people pointed out that. Twice . From Shed 17 and project G1. All eastern asian characters are so racially stereotyped.

    Even at the end of shed 17 when the eastern asian guy spoke cantonese or something. Its just Pauls voice doing the language.

    And its just cringe. Really bad.

    He said that things were bad in the movie and he didnt like it but did it for a fandom which is dedicated to a childrens show. Which is the dark part of the fandom.

    And still he uploads the two videos. When he said i didnt like it. In his behind the scenes videos.

    This has no stars. Just no stars.

    Alright story.

    What and how is this all explained.

    How To Mess Childhoods

    This Is The Worst Thomas Movie I Watched Like Who Came With This Is So Messed Up
    10SnowLeopardMaster

    Genius twist on a familiar franchise.

    I grew up with Thomas the Tank Engine. At the age of four years old, I was completely obsessed with trains, and this show. Now, as a teenager, I feel like I've outgrown Thomas the Tank Engine, and more than anything, it often seems cringe-worthy to me.

    But then I discovered this masterpiece. It's the origin story of Thomas, Percy, Gordon, and all his friends. But it's far from an innocent story about sentient trains.

    Thomas the Tank Engine: Shed 17 reveals the disturbing truth behind the creation of these sentient locomotives, exploring the science of bio-fusion. It tells the story of a young boy named Thomas, the son of a scientist exploring the possibilities of bio-fusion. When Thomas is run over in a freak accident, his father manages to revive him as a locomotive.

    Before long, the news goes viral, and several people also want to be turned into locomotives. However, none of these other trains work near as well as Thomas, with many accidents occurring. There's a definite horror theme to this flick, and some truly disturbing imagery, including Henry screaming in pain as he's dismantled and turned into scrap metal, Percy's face falling off, and, scariest of all, Thomas's train body bursting open and revealing his human organs inside, as he screams in horror having discovered the secret behind his creation.

    I won't spoil what this secret is, but I will say that it's perfectly built up, and the suspense is agonizing. The twist itself is just as disturbing as the horrific sequence that follows, and it ends the story on a dark, morbid note.

    It's definitely not for the faint of heart, and definitely isn't fit for the little kids that make up the primary audience of the official show. But if you're a horror fan that grew up with Thomas the Tank Engine, this is for you.
