She could have been a great leading female character had they decided to do a more realistic take on her later on like they did with Diesel 10 in Calling All Engines.

I like how polite you are trying to be to Britt while still giving off the vibe we all feel towards her at times. Just because she started the franchise doesn't mean she didn't make mistakes.

I think lady would of worked as a private engine similar to spencer they prob would of had good banter spencer being more rude and brash lady being more formal and polite just an idea but if we get rid of this special magic crap and use lady like this as an example I think it'll be okay

You absolutely should do videos on the other MR characters; that movie was a huge part of my childhood (among countless other fans) and it would be interesting to take an in-depth dive into all of the characters not previously mentioned. Great video as always.

Probably because she was basically Alcroft's self insert OC, and Mattel doesn't want to open that controversial can of worms. I really like the various reimaginins of her in fan stuff, such as Kate in Tanzig's stuff, and I saw someone else use a version of her as an abandoned industrial engine that was rescued to shunt on the little western, but if Mattel had tried to put her into the actual cannon, it would have been a pain, because they could either reimagine her character without all the magic railroad stuff, which was much more integral to her character than diesel 10, as he wasn't magical, or they could put her in as is. If they reimaginged her, a bunch of the fans who loved Thomas and the magic railroad would have complained that they changed her, and if they put her in as is, a bunch of fans would have complained that they were making all the magic stuff cannon, so it was easier to just not. On the subject of things Alcroft did that I wish they had kept, though, I would love to see the world where her nonbinary Rusty stayed in the TV cannon. She tried so hard, but in the end, they ended up gendering Rusty. But imagine if that had come back in the modern day. It would have been such a thing for inclusivity. I'm surprised I haven't already seen a fan story to the effect of "Rusty finds out what nonbinary is, and realizes that it's them." There's so much you could explore with that.

@@YuukaKazami241 Yeah, Allcroft made an active effort to leave Rusty genderless in her cannon. That's why, during the later model years, the original US dub used female pronouns, while the UK dub used male in line with the books: Rusty was never referred to using pronouns during the classic era, as they were agender nonbinary in Allcroft's cannon, so the various studios grabbed whatever pronouns they wanted at first, until they brought it in line with exclusively male pronouns. I do appreciate the fact that Allcroft's solution to the nearly all male cast was to make a character genderless nonbinary instead of making them female, it shows that even 30 years ago there were at least a few people who understood that not everyone is on the gender binary, and I find it cool that she was willing to put in the work to slip it into a fairly large and high budget TV series.

Agreed, I can see why Thomas and the Magic Railroad had some negative reviews and costed Britt Allcroft’s career in a way, but to me, this movie is a favourite of mine. Even if I haven’t heard of the other railway series Shining Time. I watched it on vhs as a toddler and boy I loved it! Lady is still one of my favourite engines :)

@TheBallWithTheShield

2 жыл бұрын

I think it was supposed to be someone else, but they chose Britt Allcroft's voice over her's probably because of the whole "Director's Cut" situation; first picks tried for the cast's voices, and then they'd sometimes turn to others to voice the characters because of the (mostly awful) test audience's opinions. I don't have any judgement toward Lady being voiced by Allcroft since she didn't speak much in the film. I kinda prefer Thomas' and Diesel 10's final voices compared to their TV series counterparts, tho.

*”well my Lady, the lights all green for you, Green For Glory”*

I can remember having a Ertl lady (which i still have BTW) and being to young to have grown up with TATMR I just assumed that she was Thomas' sister. No idea why, i just did.

In Honor of Burnett stone aka Peter Fonda may he rest in peace

I would’ve loved if Lady came back in the CGI series. I get that she’s technically “not canon”, but she’s been retconned into apparently an engine people can see in their dreams since Calling All Engines? If that’s the case, why not just have more dream sequences with her or something?

I still wish the Life Size model gets restored, despite being in very unreliable hands right now who has pretty much left the internet after one of their projects were done. It would be such an experience to see it one day, if only... Thank you for talking about Lady, she's such a neat engine with a pretty interesting backstory to her. Really is special to me

I remember getting the wooden railway Lady model as a kid and loving her to BITS. I actually used to chew on her funnel since it was rubbery lmao (I still own her, actually, but her funnel has since gone missing 😔)

It was also one of the last performances from mara Wilson before she retired from acting to get into writing.

Lady has got to be one of my favorite Thomas characters, and is probably my favorite TATMR characters.

When i was very young there was a railway here in Victoria, Australia, and on it (or perhaps just on the side, i can’t remember) there was a wonderful, life-sized model of Lady. I was a fan of the movie as a toddler so i went on her with my sister (who loved her because she was a female engine) and i specifically remember feeling like she was real. I don’t know where this happened exactly, and my attempts since then to find out have come up pretty short, but my sister and mother both remember it, so it did happen. I wonder where that model of Lady is now. By the way, i remember that she was made out of metal, not wood, which is why i thought she was real, she felt so heavy and sturdy, like a real locomotive.

Lady was one of my favourite characters I enjoyed playing with the most as a child. I remember having her in Take Along and Wooden Railway, except the funnel broke off because it was made of rubber.

Was curious when you'd get around to Lady! Very well done. I'm so sad that her life size model could be in limbo forever... But fingers crossed that she does get a proper restoration!

If I would’ve ever seen that wooden massive freakshow, I would’ve screamed bloody murder!!! That thing was terrifying!!!!!

Ay I love lady. She is my favourite ❤️

I personally see Lady as an overhated character in the fandom. Yes, she really only says one or two sentences in the entirety of TATMR and nothing else ever again, and she recons the lore of Sodor already established by both Awdry and Allcroft, but I have the same opinion on Splatter and Dodge: they are all very underrated and underused characters. Splodge had proposed appearances in Season 6, Day of The Diesels, and The Great Race, however all of those proposals were cancelled. I see all 3 characters with potential character development if written correctly

Lady is by far my favorite character in Thomas & Friends.
