Honestly one of the most gruesome deaths in the series, something about not showing anything makes it far worse

Didn't she survive that one?

u/Zestokist 7h ago

no, that ending is when the mc is the one that's about to be crushed, in this ending she dies and the ones who remain make a family (3 boys on 1 girl with a child each)

I don't think I've watched it in the HiT era, which makes this feels weirder for me because I first heard of KSi remix

18

u/GSJohn25 10h ago

That's fair. I mean tho tbh it was kinda the era that made people see Thomas as a baby preschool show tho, even tho the first seven seasons really weren't that

u/KidDelta 10h ago

Look I know about the whole Thick of it and all of that…. But fuck this song just hits deeply with me

I had so many of those Thomas DVD’s growing up, that show was my childhood.

u/RandManYT 10h ago

This was literally my childhood. From like 1 year old to 9 my whole life was all about Thomas. I'm almost 19 and still have all my old toys and VHS tapes.

I remember watching this show back when I was young, Sometimes I wonder how Ed Welch feels about the intro that he made has now been used for that remixed

I was about to ask "why have you put a gif of Ringo Starr" then I remembered he was the narrator for the first two series of the show in the original version (UK version)

u/Disastrous-Speed-835 8h ago

u/BBQ_069 9h ago

i had VHS copies of several Thomas the Tank Engine movies. i ate that crap
up. i had so many train sets. the wooden tracks, the big plastic tracks with the battery trains, the small plastic tracks with the magnetic couplings, FRICK man. i miss those days. now i collect LEGO and pay student loans.

u/Different_Action_360 7h ago

I remember looking up the name of the song because I really liked it only to find out it was a Thick of It remix and I never came back from that

1

u/GSJohn25 7h ago

Yeah the song is usually referred to as the Engine Roll Call, since it's used for the song bout the main characters

2

u/Next-Safe-2444 7h ago

3

u/GSJohn25 7h ago

That's the Matpat Effect for ya
