HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 27 окт 2019
- Infinity Train was both horrifying and intriguing, touching upon serious and complex real world issues. However, there was also a lot of symbolism jam packed in each and every portion of the show. From the characters, to their actions.
What is the Infinity Train? What's its purpose? Why do people board it? Today we cover those answers and more! What do you think is the intention behind the Infinity Train?

I have not watched the show myself, but it has made me reflect on my own core philosophy. You see, I have always seen the world in black and white. The whole order verses chaos, and the corrupt verses the divine type of mind. Yet I also understand that certain things done, such conflict, are neither inherently good or evil, it all depending on the intention, and whether or not it is honorable.
Awesome Video
i really like how even One One had something to learn from his own train.
Dancing is scary
That it's important to always have an obituary on file
In the unfinished car episode I really connected with one-one because I had a lot of instances where I also felt like something I didn't cause was my fault and I needed to fix it but it only made things worse. That is one of my favorite episodes in season 1
@BitterVoid 1:1 implies "one to one" as in a ratio. I dont think its 1:1.
@BitterVoid its one-one
In my opinion Infinity Train is a way to take time for yourself and discover new things about yourself
*_[Agreed]_*
Right!
Pink Diamond what are you doing my diamond
Ruby [Doc] again I see you a lot
"take time for yourself"
oh so that's what you were intending when you left spinel in the garden, Pink Diamond?
I kinda wish I could board the train myself, I've been stuck lately and having trouble getting myself out of where I am. I kinda need some zany adventures to get me to figure myself out and grow as a person.
Ur not the only one
We all are in some ways, some people have big numbers and some have small numbers.
I just want one, I’ve gotten used to everything because they’ve happened for a while, I just feel like my life is just continuous and won’t get to anything and I just want an adventure just for the sake of having one
But aint you can die on the train you die in real life
Knowing where you are is a very big step forward and an important part of finding your way, even if you dont know your destination! Hope your doing better, and good luck dude!
I feel like the people who get stuck in denial would normally end up trapped inside their own memory tapes
I like the symbolism and plot of Infinity Train, but I like what it represents as a concept even more. I love the fact that cartoons are becoming more and more open to addressing serious issues in creative ways, and the way that IT showcases its message is just wonderful. I hope more shows like this one will come up in the future, using creative ideas and intelligent symbolism to teach messages that people would usually say couldn't be told via a cartoon story.
Also your videos are lovely, very well structured, and I genuinely enjoy listening to you speak about your interpretations. Good job!
Infinity Train, the only new show that I actually took time to watch.
I've been a passenger since the pilot came out.
SAME
The train definitely symbolizes that loop of thoughts you have. If you run away from them, they’ll turn you into something bad, but if you embrace them and accept the change, you can move on and become happier.
I still question where the train came from and who made it. The two theories I came up with are either:
A. Someone created the train for the purpose of helping people cope with their problems.
Or
B. It is a supernatural force that appeared long ago and is still around when Tulip boarded the train.
I mainly made those theories for fun, but it’s still intriguing to think about how the train came to be. It has technology, but that may not entirely be the case for it.
I've always wondered about the train's origin as well. I think the train could be magitech which is a combination of magic and technology. For example, when the train comes to pick up passengers, it is capable of making an entire piece of land disappear (as we saw with Amelia's college campus) which seems more magical, yet the orbs that simulate the environment inside each of the train cars look more technological. Both theories on its creation make sense so who knows. It would be interesting if they explore its origin in future seasons.
Maybe some kind of alien or supernatural/ paranormal being created both the train and One-One, or just One-One, and One-One created the train. There's actually some Infinity Train "Train Documentary" shorts being released by Cartoon Network, and in the first one there's a weird-shaped hole in the Green Car that kinda looks like a deer. Maybe that created One-One or the train, and is returning, maybe because it intended for One-One to make a train with a different, more sinister purpose, and wants to fix it.
@@user-oq9pz6tt9x that would be interesting. Another thing I'm curious about is how the train looks completely different when picking up passengers because it looks like a normal passenger train when it arrives to Tulip while it looks like a huge freight train in the Desert. I think they could be separate trains. One that teleports around Earth, picking up passengers and taking them to the larger one in the Desert Realm via portals.
@@georgemayhew8742 two trains cooperating? That would certainly be intriguing.
@@user-oq9pz6tt9x this also brings up another question. Could the Earth Train have it's own version of OneOne piloting it? That would be interesting
"Did you write that down first or was it off the top of your head?" - Sam Wilson, Captain America: The Winter Soldier.
Seriously, your interpretation was spot on!
This show came out at the perfect time for me. It was right before my senior year of high school, so a lot is about to change for me soon.
Good luck with your senior year!
Brianna Warren thanks!
Weirdly I would like to see the issue of addiction be addressed in season two. Maybe a new protagonist who has a parent or family member struggling with an addiction either they refuse to believe they have one or they’re in rehab and the protagonist is struggling with their new reality where they feel helpless to change anything. I have no idea if Cartoon Network would ever touch that subject but it’s worth a shot
I feel like they may touch upon this with symbolism, because I think that addiction would be difficult to get past the Cartoon Network censors. Either or, I'm super excited to see what conflicts and sensitive material they touch upon in the future seasons.
The Rehab Car.
Season 2 is about Amelia, who tries to reach zero after Tulip leaves. She meets with two other passengers (a boy and a girl, around Tulip's age), and they trying to find their way to home together.
But there is a twist with the two new character - they lost their memories, and both of them already reached zero - but still trapped on the train for some reason.
@@mnorbert4188 I love that idea. I want Season 2 to be about Amelia if it's not about Tulip. That was just a theory or concept or something, right? I highly doubt Cartoon Network went out and announced that.
@@user-oq9pz6tt9x mostly from 4chan and reddit, some possible leaks from the second season. Tulip's VA returns but dont know if its just a cameo or she have some bigger role in the season
Man this video got to me. Today I found out that my cat has cancer and with everything that happened a month before this loseing my home that I grew up in through months of being alone due to my dad being in the hospital due to gangreen. Learning how to pay bills and getting rid of my pitbull that belonged to my dead brother. And now not even a month later my cat of 12 years ( she's been with me since I was 8) is diagnosed with cancer that is very expensive to remove and her being old it would be a 30% chance that she would survive. They gave me pain killers and told me that when it's time I would have to put her to sleep. I want to reject reality at this point but I know I can't I have to be like tulip
you've got this buddy, stay strong and take care!!
You can get through this. We'll do the hardest part with you.
I did a Steven Universe reference, but those lines of the song are moving.
*_Spinel has liked this video._*
infinity train is so good and deserves more live, thank you for making a video about it!
After watching Book 3, it's incredible how much you were right about the Ghoms and what they represent.
They didn’t travel through hundreds of cars. Owen Dennis said in a Reddit AMA that Tulip went through around 40 cars
I watched the show, and somehow didn't pick up on any of this... It was an interesting show, but I had interpreted it literally. Maybe I miss out sometimes by being largely confined to a literal view of reality?... ( I got more caught up in details of how the gun worked, and how the sentient characters in the cars were created when everything else seems to be holographic but they can move around freely, or if they were converted forms of the roach-dogs, ... )

This video is completely blew my mind about this show and made me love it even more! I partially liked how you related the train to a train of thought and how it can be hard for people to get out of it. Brilliant!
7:56 "I'd rather be free...from here."
I really love this show, because it's so relatable to me. I have some problems too and I am stuck in one place, not knowing what to do. I could use a random train, just come to me when I am on a walk in the woods. But you are right, the change is scary and I think some people can agree.
I live in Minnesota and the show is so realistic! I have seen the style of beard Tulip's dad has a lot and almost everyone has a truck, or clothes with camo! Don't even get me started on the landscapes!

*_[Oh my STARS! I ABSOLUTELY LOVED INFINITY TRAIN!! IT'S AMAZING ON A WHOLE 'NOTHER LEVEL!!!]_*
You have commented on so many videos that I watch
Fireballme must be getting through their watch later list.
Fireballme are they stalking you or are you stalking them 🤔
I wonder if the Infinity Train could've helped me with my Depression and I wonder what Number it would start me with.
I would start at 231.
And what reason would you be on the Infinity Train for? If you don’t mind me asking.
8:45 ...53891
Foreshadowing
I am still struggling with this series. It's too close to home.
This cartoon is wonderful.
I'm grateful for how much time and effort you put into your videos. I wouldn't mind if future seasons of Infinity Train had people trying to work around real really real problems. Alas it's a show for young people and the optimistic approach is probably essential though it can be at times irritating to me personally.
I watched it all in one afternoon so I kinda wish there was more episodes
I keep hearing Tulip's name as "Two-up". Is it just me?
Yes. I think so.
8:44 GRACE AND SIMON???
Yep, all of the books connect in little ways.
I just went through a very bad break up and this video helped me a lot which I was not expecting. So thank you.
@@ToonRuinsOfficial ♡♤♢♧
I saw your video with the round table and i loved it. I would love to see you all work together again!
I can’t wait for someone for someone to make a video like this for my show
8:43 why the hell you attacking me so viciously
The writing in the first two seasons is great, but let's be honest... Ashley Johnson as Tulip just brings the whole thing together. That woman is a national treasure.
Amazing video ! This show is really deep and I hope season 2 will be even better.
This was a great video!
I can’t wait for the MaoMao video
I never thought of the show this way, and it makes me love the show just so much more
One-one is voted as best character
Currently watching Book 3 and I gotts say, you NAILED this!! How awesome.
New to the channel and I've completely enjoyed everything I've watched on here!
Thanks a lot for doing what you do. We subs really appreciate it. Much much love sent your way:)
I must say, this was a brilliant analysis. You sure do have quite the analytical mind, and I'd like to see you make more videos where you analyse hidden meaning in shows. :)
This was a fantastic analysis. Thank you! Can't wait for season 2!!
New video?
I'll just keep your obituary on file, then.
"it's still a path that has an undetermined ending"
Me: *Laughs in season three*
Broooo..... that blew my mind!!!!!!
Honestly, I believe of what you said about the show. Love the analyzation.

this isn't about infinity train but this is a whole therapy session
Hi Lea!
The thing that i love about this show is that it is geared to a younger audience, and yet contains the idea of coping with trauma, which is something that is often left out of modern animated series. To me, it is especially important for kids who are dealing with trauma or any other negative changes in life to learn to accept that sometimes they cannot change negative experiences that happened to them and to learn to take time to grow as people too. I mean i get that its such a dark topic to touch on however, i think kids need to have more access to shows like this because it is such a huge topic that even adults have a hard time accepting change when it does.
It's actually what I do as a writer and will actually be a concept in an e book series called starlight moon on my channel that's gonna release with a few other stories after new years
I only saw a couple clips of this show but wow, impressive as heck! Cartoons are nuts nowadays, I'm glad they're allowed to have depth like this.
I wonder what actual children think though.
Nice insights!
This video made me so emotional omg. It is EXACTLY what is happening to me. I’ve been in this train of thought for 6 YEARS!!!!!! Omg I love Infinity Train 😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭 makes me see the reality and I have to be accepting. I’ve been avoiding the truth for so long. Wow... I... man I gotta change my train of thought 😔☺️
the dislike is amelia
any future dislikes are her making outher accounts
I feel called out, lol.
I love this analysis and Infinity Train!
I wish I could board that train...... Though if I did, idk if I would ever want to leave it
Toon Ruins: *Explains the theme of infinity Train, Book I*
Me: There is more too it than that....... *Having and just seen Infinity Train Book II*
Wow this hit deep. I have to watch this show
I wonder how high emilia's number is.
the train represents a therapist, the rooms represents the sesions and number in the hand represents how mentally good you are, that´s why Tulip´s number gone to 0, because she surpassed her trauma and accepted, and Amelia didn´t because she didn´t surpassed her boyfriend´s death.
cool video and all but can you explain why Amelias Train carts all get corrupted by turtles and why one (one) actively disposes of them after he gets control over the train back?
It seems more appealing sometimes to repress and deny all that you need to confront as long as you agree to never deal with it and get what you want. In the end, it's a pointless venture. Would you rather surpress everything and have it building up every second to have it spill out and get you right where you started or confront it head on and feel what you need to feel to be almost entirely burden free persay? A lot of people are scared to face the danger because it feels better to leave it alone than to process it fully.
Honestly i just want to hug amelia so much
Btw the background music is called Running Away by Chrome canyons ;) And the creators of infinity train
Wow now I understand why Infinity Train & Steven Universe deserve a crossover. Both teach us Changes & life problems
Great Analysis Toon Ruins
For me sometimes it may be purgatory
Kinda spoiler... at 8.46 we can se a character that's appears in the newest season... that's pretty cool xD
Book Two really does build off of Book One. Wonder who the main character will be if there's gonna be a Book Three.
One-Tulip
Two-Mirror Tulip, AKA MT, AKA Lake
Marguns21 I saw that too!
the bug things outside the train is suicide lol
if the train is thought then jumping off it is a lack of thought or no thoughts, no train of thought, stopping the train. i dunno
jumping off the train is suicide, thats why those bug things are so scary and fast.
like the yeti from that ski game on my windows xp
It’s honestly a shame the show was ended so soon. It really deserved a better fate-
Please work at the roundtable and help them with debunking, ideas and more please!
1:53
I think you mean oshkosh, not wisconsin.
tulip already lives in wisconsin, but oshkosh is just a different section of wisconsin
Thank you at Owen Dennis of create this masterpiece
How can i watch infinity train? In sweden we dont have have HBO max :/
I agree. And I think the different cars on the train are suppose to mean how passengers cope with their problems.
There's another season that's coming
I kind of need to be picked up by the infinity train right now
This show is great.
It's a spooky month!!!!!!!!
My life is literally portrayed in this show
Called season 3, for the most part woth Ghoms lol
So... silent hill for kids?
I wonder why there aren't any curved tracks that the train runs on.
I guess it symbolizes how you can never go back, but *Spoilers for Book 2*
Jesse goes back to the train at the end of Book 2 for MT, so after your problems are solved or faced by the passengers, you go home. One-One was at a dilemma because a denizen couldn't leave the train and that was Jesse's problem. You have to learn to face the problem and accept that it may never change, back to normal or otherwise.
@@19martincito73 I already seen the ending, I wonder if Cartoon Network is going to make Infinity Train Book 3 and 4.
I watch in a night.
_INFINITY WAR_
12:22 Cute
All I gotta say is my fell people of Wisconsin it's time to rise and go to Oshkosh
Who agrees with me that we should invest on building a real infinity train🧐
Is she eating an onion?
Yes
um she lives in wisconsin already she specifically is going to Oshkosh
Actually, Tulip is from Minnesota. She mentions north St Paul when she sees the snowman, the snowman in the first car is based off a real snowman found in the area, in the crystal car she mentions that she attends North Brook middle school, which is near St Paul, and the distance between the St Paul and Oshkosh is about 300 miles, which Tulip mentions before getting on the train
Its addiction to drugs, not drugs themselves, that are bad
I herd the voice of Ellie from the last of us
I love that game! ♤♡♢♧💜♠♣♦
I think emilas husband faked he's death and in book 3 he boreds the train and meets emila
All things considered, I would probably stay on the train, lol. The real world sucks, and change makes nothing better.
What? The train can kill you! Accepting change helps you become a more stronger individual! Just by reading your comment i can tell that you're scared.
@@joaopedrooliveira5816 You say that like death is a bad thing. And I'm not scared. I just finally know the truth. I'm done with change. It doesn't do crap for my mental health and it's only ever made things worse. It made everything worse. Stop acting like you know everything, like you're somehow better because you believe in this lie that the world is all fine and great and awesome and that change is necessary and helpful.
Does any of my fellow Europeans know how to watch Infinity Train?
:O
I can't watch infinity train because I don't have money and it's on none of the things I have a subscription to
you know this show would have been 10 times better if it wasn't banned where i lived and i had to watch it trough shitty reaction channels
