Billy (Thomas & Friends)

Billy is a character that appeared in the episode Don't Be Silly Billy from Thomas and Friends. He is a orange tank engine that was brought by sir Topham Hatt to help with the work load on the island of sodor at the time. He is hated by fans and critics of Thomas and Friends for his rude behavior.

Why He Sucks

 * 1) He is very rude to Thomas just because he was telling him to get some coal and water.
 * 2) He is very irresponsible and impulsive and wants everything to go his way.
 * 3) His line "Stop Telling Me What To Do Thomas, You're A Very Bossy Engine!" gets really repetitive and annoying really fast.
 * 4) He kept running off, leaving his trucks behind every time Thomas told him to take on coal and water.
 * 5) He teaches a terrible moral to kids: "it's okay to disobey orders".
 * 6) He is very spoiled and annoying.
 * 7) He only appeared in Don't Be Silly Billy, which makes him pointless and only a character introduced to sell merchandise.
 * 8) He was then replaced by another bad character named Charlie.
 * 9) His overall behavior is just the Mean Popular Boy.

Redeeming Qualities

 * 1) Billy has a neat design.
 * 2) He received karma for his actions as he ran out of water after a while.
 * 3) He thankfully never appeared again after Don't Be Silly Billy.
 * 4) The idea behind Billy is interesting as he looks like a hill billy engine even though he's a British one.

Reception
