Actually, Muck is only a boy in the US dub. In the UK version, Muck is a boy. Interesting, right?

Also, another thing that bugs me is how this new reboot has all of these new characters and instead of giving them introductions or anything, they just show up without word of who they are.

I honestly dislike it when shows do this. They just throw in a new character into the main cast without introduction as if the writers expect the audience already know who they are, like they've been here before... when news flash, they haven't and we have no idea who these characters are. Like who's the crane? The green forklift? The blue excavator? The hauler? The show never introduces them, or even use them that often for that matter. If I don't know who a character is, not only will I be distracted trying to figure out if I missed an episode or something, but also, if I don't know anything about the character, how can I get invested in whatever conflict they get into? This is why proper character introductions are needed.

Another problem with this is that they just feel like rehashes of characters from the original show, just with recolors and a new name. You know, it would save a lot of time if you just... you know... used the original characters instead of cloning them.
