Percy the Small Engine (seasons 15, 16, and All Engines Go!)

Note: This page will only talk about how he was badly butchered through seasons 15-16.

Percy The Small Green Engine is the tritagonist of the Thomas and Friends franchise. He is Thomas The Tank Engine's best friend and the number six engine on the Island of Sodor. He is liked by the cast and is a Fan Favorite to all of the fans. Sadly he was Flanderized in seasons 15-16 into becoming an idiot.

Why He Sucked

 * 1) He became an idiot who obsesses over Thomas's attention.
 * 2) In Day of The Diesels he cried about Thomas spending time with belle which caused him to go to the diesels for attention, an example of why he obsesses over Thomas's attention.
 * 3) He cries over the smallest things that are not worth crying over.
 * 4) There were even moments where he acted like a idiot before he was flanderized, with Up, Up, and Away being a prime example.
 * 5) He causes just as much confusion and delay and screws everything up equally as Thomas does.
 * 6) He is pretty much portrayed as you're generic "idiot" cliche.
 * 7) In Percy and The Monster of Brendam he goes on the most stupidest journey to find a made up monster salty told him about, which proves that he is also very gullible.
 * 8) In Percy's New Friends he tried to befriend animals, but he kept being loud which caused them to get scared and run away, why would Percy need animals for friends? He's got plenty of friends already!
 * 9) His first two voice actors, Martin Sherman in the US dub and Keith Wickham in the UK dub (S13-16) were quite annoying. Keith Wickham's voice barely fits Percy as well.

Redeeming Qualities

 * 1) He still cares about his friends.
 * 2) He massively redeemed himself through seasons 17-24.
 * 3) After S18, his voice actors were replaced by Christopher Ragland in the US dub and Nigel Pilkington in the UK dub. These two actors are pretty good and are a big improvement over the previous two actors.
 * 4) He was tolerable in some episodes.
