Rebecca (Thomas & Friends)

Rebecca is one of the new main characters in Seasons 22-24 of Thomas & Friends. She was created to replace Henry on the steam team. Like with Nia, she wasn't well received by fans and critics of Thomas and Friends.

Why She Sucks

 * 1) Like Nia, she is a filler character who serves absolutely no purpose other than replacing Henry in the Steam Team and to add gender diversity to the show.
 * 2) Her personality is annoying, uninteresting, and bland, as she is the typical Happy Go Lucky type.
 * 3) Her voice can be annoying to some.
 * 4) Unlike Nia, who had a whole special to introduce her, Rebecca literally comes out of nowhere with no explanation or backstory.
 * 5) Like with all of the characters in Seasons 22-24, her fantasy sequences are painful to watch, uncanny, unrealistic, distracting, and are only there to increase merchandise sales.
 * 6) Also like Nia, there is no explanation as to why she lives at Tidmouth Sheds.
 * 7) Along with Nia, she was also one of the main reasons the show went downhill.
 * 8) She doesn't even appear in the upcoming reboot's trailer and it is even likely that she won't even appear in it, which just makes her pointless.
 * 9) Also like Nia, her reason as to why she replaced Henry in the main cast gets very confusing. Some websites say that she was added in since the series faced years of criticism for lacking female characters, while the Thomas & Friends Fandom site says that she was put in to fix the gender imbalance at Tidmouth Sheds.
 * 10) She's pretty much a poor attempt at "Entertainment".
 * 11) She feels more like a comic relief character rather than a main one.
 * 12) Like Nia, she's a character nobody asked for.

Redeeming Qualities

 * 1) Her design is good.
 * 2) Her yellow paint does suit her.
 * 3) She's very friendly towards other engines.
