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.

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!

@CrowRider1999 5 лет назад

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.

@georgemayhew8742 5 лет назад

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.

@Mayonnaise-m8h 5 лет назад

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.

@georgemayhew8742 5 лет назад

@@Mayonnaise-m8h 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.

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

@ToonRuinsOfficial 5 лет назад

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.

@Mayonnaise-m8h 5 лет назад

The Rehab Car.

@mnorbert4188 5 лет назад

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.

@Mayonnaise-m8h 5 лет назад

@@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.

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

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, ... )

@neverreallyover2937 4 года назад

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.

@depressedpebbles 2 года назад

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.
