On the topic of James, I dont really find him that appealing if he doesnt have his Crow's Feet. For example (and a prime one at that), All Engines Go. Now, I havent watched the series, however, just seeing James with tiny crows feet makes me.... kinda skeptical about characterisation.
Yes, they are there, but they are MINISCULE comparative to his older counterparts.
See, in this one, James has prominent crow's feet. To me, James is nothing/ unidentifiable without his crow's feet.
Also, sidenote, why's he so big in AEG??? He's meant to be a similar height to Thomas, right..??
