The "stunt trains" controversy.

I've noticed a lot of people criticizing Trackmaster (particularly since 2012-ish) for the fact that the sets are now very stunt-based. I'm not going to pretend I don't like the simplicity; I grew up with Plarail. However, I don't think the stunt concept hurts the range. The kids (I hate pulling that card, believe me, but we have to remember that with the Thomas-based stuff, they're the Target audience) like having trains that can do cool stuff. It's unrealistic, totally, and I wish they wouldn't discourage using rolling stock, but I fail to realize how becoming what people call "stunt trains" is a bad thing. Of course I think Plarail is much better than TrackMaster ever was, but I would hardly call TrackMaster "bad."

So yeah. Rant over. As I've said before, the internet is my therapist Tongue I don't wanna start an argument here, but I just wanna kind of know why exactly the whole stunt concept is such a terrible thing.
