Missed Opportunities for S21-23

Here are the Missed Opportunities that we’re missed for S21-23 because the Current Thomas and Friends Show as well as the new Era is full of missed opportunities these days.

Henry, Rosie, Ryan, Annie, Clarabel, Judy and Jerome should’ve had speaking roles in this episode and Donald, Douglas, Oliver, Stanley, Fred Pelhay, Rickety and U.L.P. should’ve appeared in this episode! Why did Mattel remove their speaking roles just so this episode can only have Thomas, Gordon, James, Percy, Emily, Nia, Rebecca, T. Trucks and TFC as the only characters who speak in this episode?! Come on Mattel, it’s not that hard! Just add dialogue to Henry, Ryan, Annie, Clarabel, Judy and Jerome because the writers of the current show are in love with Ryan right now and Rosie had came back in Series 21 and Journey Beyond Sodor with a new paint Job! The marketing is in love with Rosie right now! Henry have appeared and spoke in every series and special of the franchise and has appeared the most in the Railway Series than everyone else in the RWS! There was going to be a opportunity for a reference to Henry's Forest in Global Goals, but it was removed because Mattel killed him off the Main Cast! Donald and Douglas have appeared since their reintroductions in Sodor's Legend of the Lost Treasure and it would’ve been best if they spoke in Journey Beyond Sodor, appeared in Series 22 and had 3 speaking roles in S22, but let’s hope Donald and Douglas appear and speak in Series 23! Oliver and Toad should’ve appeared in Series 21 with 3 speaking roles and 2 cameo roles since their reintroductions in Series 18 and Tale of the Brave! Rosie had a good reintroduction in Series 21 and Journey Beyond Sodor. There was going to be another episode where she was painted red, but was axed due to the production of Big World! Big Adventures! and the International episode of Series 22! Come on Mattel! Why do you waste Characters in Favor of new ones?! (For example; Flying Scotsman, Hugo, Skiff, Rheneas, Sir Handel, Peter Sam, Duncan, Luke, Rex, Bert, Mike, Terence, Trevor, Alfie, Oliver the Excavator, Max, Monty and Big Mickey). Clearly, You should just give characters another chance (for example: Stephen, Glynn, Ryan, Theo, Lexi, Hurricane, Hugo, Frankie, Skiff, Skarloey, Rheneas, Sir Handel, Peter Sam, Duncan, Luke, Millie, Rusty, Rex, Bert, Mike, Judy, Jerome, Terence, Bulgy, Jack, Alfie, Oliver the Excavator, Max and Monty) So they could have roles in the episodes and future series!. Ryan should’ve spoke in Journey Beyond Sodor, appeared in Big World! Big Adventures! and appeared and spoke with 3 speaking roles in Series 22! Like I said, The writers are in love with Ryan at the moment. Davey Moore has written him into some episodes in Series 20 and 21. Ryan normally acts like a Thomas Character. Judy and Jerome had some good introductions in The Adventure Begins and they appeared again in Series 20. Yes, the writers have gave them second chances, but they should’ve had dialogue in Series 23. Yes come on, Mattel, it’s not that hard because recurring Characters like Edward, Henry, Toby, Stephen, Porter, Merlin, Paxton, Philip, Winston, Skiff, Henrietta, Judy and Jerome have appeared in every series and returnees like Duck, Daisy and Jack appeared in every series so far! It’s not that hard to give them some dialogue and extend the running time of the S22-23 Episodes instead of cutting the running time back to 7 minutes! But like we all said, Davey Moore is the great writer of the current series like Andrew Brenner, Lee Pressman, Helen Farrall and Michael White and Davey Moore has done great on this episode and threw some good references to the Series 1 episode, Dirty Objects and the Series 2 episode, Percy Takes the Plunge. Even the Tar Tankers have returned and this episode have been given a 8.5/10.
