Hi folks! RUclips is arbitrarily DELETING COMMENTS again, for seemingly no reason. I keep being notified of super nice, perfectly friendly comments but when I go to acknowledge them, YT has already ousted them to the void. Sorry folks, I don't know why it's happening, but I promise it's not me >.
ngl a videogame for infinity would absolutely be awesome since it kinda gave me that life and strange vibes such as emotional struggles through relationships or just mental health in a character.
absolutely! how would you want the game to be? I like the idea of a really atmospheric pixelart side-scroller, which would make the most of the train setting
i always thought it would work really well as an inside-esc type of game, some sort of side scroller where those backgrounds can really shine would be amazing. plus the endless ideas for bosses and enemies that would chase you at some parts!
Goodbye tulip and conducter. Goodbye numbers and reflections. Goodbye kids and nightmares. Goodbye friendship and change. Goodbye infinity train. Thanks for all the memories. Keep on the rails.
okay now that i'm watching the video for real here's my real comments: - AMAZING INTRO ANIMATION! it's so cool and sad and I'm gonna miss this show if it never comes back! -fantastic analysis! you covered all the pieces of what made Book 4 great! -Min and Ryan are definitely in love -I really hope the show can get renewed eventually and come back with Amelia and Hazel's story, but yeah it'll probably be in a long time just like Samurai Jack -YEAAAH we're gonna keep talking about this show so much!!! -awesome video buddy, you absolutely knocked it out of the park with this one! I'm impressed every time! :3
Dude you absolutely killed it!! The vid is structured very well and it feels like you really got to the heart of Book 4. The animation was also a beautiful touch Definitely worth the wait keep up the phenomenal work!
YOUR ART IS AMAZING!! ✨ This video is incredible, the editing is really good and I'm glad you taked a moment to talk about Queercoding. Here, you drop this: 👑
On queercoding, Owen made a tweet quite a long time ago seemingly in response to Lake’s transcoding along the lines of they had to decide whether to include that representation explicitly and have the show not air in half the world or have those queer themes available but not explicit in those regions for people that need to hear them. It’s an interesting point in how making it not explicit allows it to be seen by more people, although of course I wish we lived in a better world where this compromise wasn’t necessary. When IT was being threatened with cancelation every book I understand why they didn’t want to take that risk either, if even massive popularity of Steven Universe didn’t protect it from a pseudo cancellation IT probably had no chance.
thanks for the comment, it's nice to get thoughtful comments like these. you make a good point, i'll have to seek out that OG tweet from Dennis if I can find it
BEAUTIFUL 💕👏💕👏💕👏💕👏 I loved book 4 and even taking it as part of a whole I don't feel dissatisfied at all. Also people who get off the train live their lives in any way they want - Rymin definitely continued to work out their issues and got together 😂❤ Fantastic Video!!! Bravo 👏
I love this video so much! Ok first of all, THE INTRO HOLY PEANUTS THAT'S INCREDIBLY ANIMATED Second of all, this analisis is incredible! It's really pleasant to watch and I really see myself rewatching this time after time after time. You did a fantastic job with this video!
I'm so glad you enjoyed it! I worked really hard on it and I appreciate the kind words ☺️ I'm only an amateur animator but I put a lot into the intro and I'm happy you found it entertaining
It would be great if there was a way to just somehow bring back infinity train through crowdfunding or something, unfortunately I know things aren't that simple, but I'm still hoping for some kind of comeback so Owen Dennis' story can be finished.
interesting, totally valid! I think I connected with the themes and execution of book 3 the most. I rewatched the series in full recently, and that third season really cuts deep, they do NOT pull their punches
@@CurmudgeonMedia Yeah I think book 3 was the most intense and I cried during episode 6. I definitely get why it’s the fan favorite (I think it is? Idk) Book 4 is my favorite because I just like Ryan and Min a lot and I heavily relate to it as someone who’s also a young adult. I think every book is equally strong, however and that they all succeed at what they’re trying to do. I love that each book does something completely different, the show has something for everyone.
you know, that might not be a bad idea. Chronologically it makes sense, since knowledge of book 1 will inform book 4, and emotionally it makes sense since book 3 is much, much stronger from a narrative standpoint
Our society has a serious problem of downgrating platonic relationships, espically compared to romantic ones. Lake and Jesse and Min and Ryan mean a lot to each other? Clearly they can't be 'just' friends, because friendships clearly aren't that deep and meaningful. This isn't right.
Agreed. The romantic part of their relationships seem to be left up to interpretation. I can kind of see Min and Ryan being sort of like brothers, for example.
The creator said that they can't explicitly show these themes otherwise the show would not be aired when talking about Lake being transcoded. That paired with the sketches the creative team made of min and yan in romantic scenarios (like one where they are dressed like Howl and Sophie) is enough to believe they might be something like a romance. I get your point but you literally can't argument correctly if you are attacking strawmen. They can seem like a pair or not, but the point people are not just saying "omg their luk so gae", most people with that theory are actually looking at the creator's testimonies and manifestations, which are indeed enough to believe it. Instead of trying to actually speak up about real issues, you decided to go against people with arguments you don't even know about and you just assumed, about a bunch of people that just ship a pair. I'll say as well something I find people don't get too often. This is not "a problem with society" because not all fucking society is shipping it, and this is not even a toxic ship. Everyone likes a different troupe, so everyone ships different characters. It is by sheer chance inevitable that someone eventually will ship two characters that interact a lot. Someone liking chocolate is not suddenly a problem in society because big brands exploit people for it. Liking chocolate is not the issue. Just like Liking those particular ships is not a big societal issue. The problem is the standards you say. Do people ship them because of them? You don't know and it is probably not the case anyway I, as a bisexual woman, do not regularly blush at my friends when they say something meaningful to me. I do blush at people I like. Idk if you have had the experience, but I pretty much can tell if I am shipping two characters that are just friends and two characters which might not be friends. Furthermore, being friends doesn't stop you from being in a relationship lol

it helps to say goodbye, but it doesn't make it any less difficult!

-awesome video buddy, you absolutely knocked it out of the park with this one! I'm impressed every time! :3
Omggggggg THEMK 🥺
AGREED
HARD AGREED
6:36 That moment was so many feels. I was like like they’re already hitting me in the feels in episode 3
yeah for real, there's a lot of unspoken sadness with Ryan's character, always the one to wear a smile while he's secretly hurting on the inside
Dude you absolutely killed it!! The vid is structured very well and it feels like you really got to the heart of Book 4. The animation was also a beautiful touch
Definitely worth the wait keep up the phenomenal work!
thanks so much!!

great vid as always !! 💖🙌
thank yooooou >.
*happiness*
I would just like to say I boat Min-Gi and Ryan
EEEYYYYYYY CALLBACK!!!
BEAUTIFUL 💕👏💕👏💕👏💕👏
I loved book 4 and even taking it as part of a whole I don't feel dissatisfied at all.
Also people who get off the train live their lives in any way they want - Rymin definitely continued to work out their issues and got together 😂❤
Fantastic Video!!! Bravo 👏
I love this video so much!
Ok first of all, THE INTRO
HOLY PEANUTS THAT'S INCREDIBLY ANIMATED
Second of all, this analisis is incredible! It's really pleasant to watch and I really see myself rewatching this time after time after time. You did a fantastic job with this video!
I'm so glad you enjoyed it! I worked really hard on it and I appreciate the kind words ☺️ I'm only an amateur animator but I put a lot into the intro and I'm happy you found it entertaining
I haven't watched infinity train but it looks so amazing and the way you talked about it was so detailed and thorough i love this channel sm
thanks for watching even though you haven't seen the show! and thanks for the kind words too!
It's a tragedy that Infinity Train doesn't get to shine as brightly as it deserved to
And they were bandmates lol
OH MY GOD THEY WERE BANDMATES
WOOO LET'S GO
letsa GOOOOO
The animation at the beginning?? Is so fucking cool??
thanks so much I worked super hard on that
Criminally low views on this video dude! I loved it. Keep up the great work!
thanks! I worked really hard on this one
@@CurmudgeonMedia It absolutely shows. Keep on the grind!
It would be great if there was a way to just somehow bring back infinity train through crowdfunding or something, unfortunately I know things aren't that simple, but I'm still hoping for some kind of comeback so Owen Dennis' story can be finished.
It doesn’t work as an ending but it’s my favorite book personally.
interesting, totally valid! I think I connected with the themes and execution of book 3 the most. I rewatched the series in full recently, and that third season really cuts deep, they do NOT pull their punches
@@CurmudgeonMedia Yeah I think book 3 was the most intense and I cried during episode 6. I definitely get why it’s the fan favorite (I think it is? Idk)
Book 4 is my favorite because I just like Ryan and Min a lot and I heavily relate to it as someone who’s also a young adult. I think every book is equally strong, however and that they all succeed at what they’re trying to do. I love that each book does something completely different, the show has something for everyone.
me and my gf just finished watching the series and now I'm thinking that the proper order is season 4 first
Play recognize the ending song from Fallout
should i watch book 4 before book 3?
you know, that might not be a bad idea. Chronologically it makes sense, since knowledge of book 1 will inform book 4, and emotionally it makes sense since book 3 is much, much stronger from a narrative standpoint
AAAAAA for the algorithm?
I literally thought they were brothers this whole time
Our society has a serious problem of downgrating platonic relationships, espically compared to romantic ones. Lake and Jesse and Min and Ryan mean a lot to each other? Clearly they can't be 'just' friends, because friendships clearly aren't that deep and meaningful. This isn't right.
I agree, but I also ship them and can see why people ship them. Regardless, people should have more appreciation on platonic relationships.
Agreed. The romantic part of their relationships seem to be left up to interpretation. I can kind of see Min and Ryan being sort of like brothers, for example.
The creator said that they can't explicitly show these themes otherwise the show would not be aired when talking about Lake being transcoded.

Instead of trying to actually speak up about real issues, you decided to go against people with arguments you don't even know about and you just assumed, about a bunch of people that just ship a pair.
I'll say as well something I find people don't get too often. This is not "a problem with society" because not all fucking society is shipping it, and this is not even a toxic ship.
