How so, might I ask?

Well, Diesel was used more than Duck by the team. That's why I find him more overrated by the TV series. As for Duck, I believe he gets all the credit he deserves.

Duck, Donald, Douglas, Oliver, BoCo and Daisy need more appearances then Diesel.

Indeed; here's hoping for BoCo's return!

I have another opinion I'd like to express. I'm not sure if I'm the only one who thinks this, but I believe Bill and Ben are named after Bill and Ben the Flowerpot Men since the twin tank engines were made up in 1966 and the flowerpot men were made up in the 1950s.

I never knew that.

I feel that if Arry/Bert, and Diesel 10 happen to leave the show, that it wouldn't change much, considering how they've seem to be relegated like Rosie and Stanley.

I disagree; I want to see D10 more often.

More Opinions

-I think Edward, Gordon, James, and Duck's CGI renders are a bit too tall.
-Oliver needs too be taller and longer like his model and his funnel should be thicker.
-I prefer Duck and Oliver with white footplates instead of black footplates.
-I hate Keith Wickham and Kerry Shale's Henry, Gordon, James and Diesel voices, but most of their other voices are okay.

I'd be VERY upset if Rosie, Stanley, and/or Belle were written out of the series. To the point I'd REFUSE to watch ANY of the future seasons.

I honestly wouldn't mind if characters like Rosie or Stanley were written out. I don't know why some fans want to see more of them.

The bold ones I agree. James and Duck are too big. Duck's even bigger than Ryan! Also, Oliver is only too short because of his wheels.

I disagree with you on Gordon and Edward. I believe they're the right size.

His wheels are small because their squished in there. Oliver should be the same length as Ryan.

I've looked at Duck's basis, in length, he's 31'2, Oliver is 29'11 and Ryan is 37'11.

So duck shouldn't be too much longer than
Oliver, correct?

Correct.

Duck and Oliver's renders should be the same size as their models and basis and Oliver should have the guard irons on his back cab windows.

I really don't care about the last detail, but the size is a problem.

Opinions:

1. I don't get why people overlook S6-7.
2. Duncan's CGI render is fine to me.
3. While nice, I don't get why people want Rosie and Stanley back in the show.
4. Duck isn't overrated.
5. I don't think BoCo or Duke need to return.
6. Not everything has to be Season 4-esque...

1. Nor I..
2. I feel the same.
3. Possibly due to the potential the characters could have, if their personalities were expanded, of course.
4. Certainly not!
5. I'd like to see Duke return, but not BoCo.
6. Whatever do you mean? (I've a preference for Season 3..)

1. I don't like Edward (I do, but not greatly.), yet I like Toby.
2. I am fine with Oliver's current size.
3. I enjoy Season 3.
4. Season 2 is my least favorite season from the classic series.

Opinions

1. I don't like how they kept changing the look of the lighting and models in the model series. It was fine in the first four seasons but got annoying "after" Season 4.
2. I think BoCo needs to return because their needs to be more good and long diesels and Duke needs to return because the Skarloey Railway needs a tender engine.
3. I don't like how the diesels introduced in the New and CGI series are all short or the same as Diesel's basis.
4. Seasons 5-7 had poor character and location choices for some episodes and scenes.
5. I never liked the color shades for the engines during Seasons 6-12.
6. Season 2 is one of the most overrated seasons in the Classic Series.

Bold: I agree. Boco and Duke are both way overdue for a return. Too many small diesels.
Italic: My opinion isn't fully fledged. Sometimes, having characters in the wrong place can actually work. I actually prefer the shades of green Henry and Percy were in Season 6 and 7. Makes it easier for little kids to identify. But Thomas, Edward and Gordon from Season 8-11 looked really dull in colour. Always preferred their shades in Season 3. James in this shade of red, I've always preferred.
Normal: I disagree. Season 2 gets all the credit it deserves.

Henry and Percy's shade of green in Seasons 6 and 7 is just too bright for me. I always preferred the shades of the engines from Season 4 since for some reason I always had a preference of Season 4.

What I meant by having the character in the wrong place is like when Oliver was working in the yards from Seasons 5-7 or Thomas, Percy or Duck running the mainline for most of Seasons 5-16 or Bill and Ben working at the Ffarquhar Quarry during Seasons 6-12.

I'll agree to that; I extremely disliked how the writers forgot where the engines worked and just put everyone wherever.

They also get the locations mixed up to.

On BoCo, I actually think he desperately needs to return. Solely because he is the only engine that Edward can relate to and talk to on an equal level. Some engines like Gordon talk down to Edward, and Edward has to talk down to less mature engines like Percy and Thomas.

Excluding TAB, Edward has been negelected since S8 and underused since S2. Bringing back BoCo would mean more Edward, and may bring Edward into the Bill-Ben-Marion-Timothy group.
