Since the Railway Series debuted in May 1945 is 77 years old. 76 years ago, Thomas debuted in March 1946. The Show is now 38 years old, There is a chance that it'll go into the public domain around the 2040s, after the next decade, the 2030s. There is a reason why Thomas will be the next MLP in my predictions, there have been generations going on from the Original TV Series to the Modern Reboot, and the Future. According to some eras I made up.

Gen0 - The Book Series by Wilbert and Christopher Awdry (1945-2011)

Gen1 - Season 1-5 (1984-1998) Model Series.

Gen2 - Magic Railroad (2000), Season 6-12 with Specials (2002-2008) Model Series + S12 CGI hybrid.

Gen3 - Season 13-24 with Films and Specials (2009-2021) CGI Series.

Gen4 - All Engines Go + Specials, Live-Action Film, [Possible Future Projects], (2021-ongoing) 2D, CGI, Live-Action.

Gen5 - Future Predictions (2030s)

Gen 6 - Future Predictions, Public Domain era (2040s-2050s)

(It is clear that Generations are moving forward, The All Engines Go Controversy is somewhat rough, but I find the show a guilty pleasure cuz I like it compared to MLP's Friendship is Magic or some people compared to Pony Life which doesn't make any differences, AEG is somewhat different. Let's be honest, It is targeted toward children in the Gen Alpha or Beta that are new to the series. I also like the Classic Series 1-7, and Magic Railroad, well CGI is obviously my least favorite, not a fan of Seasons 8 to 12. Aside from TTTE in the future for Mattel, I think it'll go through better changes in the future, but I'm optimistic that the Franchise will have people growing up before getting nostalgic for 10 years.) I find the Fandom somewhat rough, and it is a letdown since the 2020s during some of the things going on. In the Future, if I'm working with Mattel after creating my Original Project for Tancho Studio, working with Anime or Animation Studios, Hasbro MLP Film, and Show Studio, and Live Action Studios, I had to come up with Fresh Ideas, so it'll expand the Franchise better. When it comes to Future Thomas remakes, chances are it's expensive to produce them because of Mattel's Contracts. We will like to see it in the future, but right now it's not the time, and it'll pass by if new things are coming in the future. When the Franchise hit to Public Domain in the 2040s, there's a chance we will make more remakes or create different stories a lot, and create something with different genre variations like Horror or Sci-Fi.

What do you guys think? Do you think we're optimistic about the Franchise? I'm optimistic that time will pass by when things get better. we know some of these things are starting to happen in the Future. The Thomas Fandom had too many Unpopular opinions, which there are things that we agree, or disagree with. As an Autistic person, I fascinate with Thomas the Train too much because I like Drawing Trains as a Grown Adult or playing with Toy Trains as a Kid.
