P.T. Boomer is NOT useless in TATMR

Most average Thomas fans say that Boomer is pointless in Magic Railroad, but he's not. People who say that don't care about the dialogue in the movie and are overly obsessed with Diesel 10. Think about it. Boomer makes the dialogue more sense, his motivation to destroy Lady is more realistic than the entirety of the movie, his appearance is Lily's only motivation to go with Junior to Sodor, and unlike Diesel 10, who wasted his time with Mr. Conductor, Boomer puts Thomas in danger when he causes an explosion on Muffle Mountain that causes Thomas to roll down the hill, and is much more realistic than some random wind. If you say P.T. Boomer is useless in TATMR, than you're just doing a disservice to yourself for not paying close attention to the original storyline.

BTW, this isn't meant to be an April Fools prank, I'm genuinely serious.

I mean, if Diesel 10 didn't have his claw

how CAN he be threatening?

What does that have to do with my statement?

It adds to WHY P.T Boomer is a better villan than Diesel 10

the only thing Diesel 10 that makes him a threat is his claw

but take it away and all Diesel 10 becomes is,....a diesel.

A diesel with a number 10 in his name

Yeah, his claw is the only thing that MAKES him threatening.

Here is a hot take: Stepney is worse than Billy and Charlie.

So what are your opinions on the chase scene?

Mine: Its a very underwhelming chase

I honestly don't get why people are so aadment on using Diesel 10 as the "big bad villan" for fan content

Its just so limiting on creativity

I'd much prefer creating a new villan than using a pre-existing one.

Yeah, I rather have P.T. Boomer be the big bad with Diesel 10 as the secondary antagonist in a Magic Railroad styled series.

I do like Diesel 10 as a more silly bad guy who makes ridiculous ideas that ultimately fail. That's why I like how Diesel 10 was characterized in DOTD when his plan to take over the SteamWorks was absolutely ridiculous. And Diesel 10 cowering as he was being scolded by Sir Topham Hatt was very satisfying. You don't see P.T. Boomer making a ridiculous plan like that or getting afraid of authority.

I honestly feel Diesel 10 and D261 are kinda the same

one off characters that have an insane amount of fans

I also find Emily an overrated and pointless character.

To be honest

I never liked the idea of trying to make TATMR Canon while keeping Diesel 10 evil

Its a case of you can't have both

either remove Diesel 10 entirely

or just don't make TATMR canon
