Infinity Train (Cartoon Network)

So this one's the last, that's a bit disappointing.

I mean wasn't this all the time pretty much "there will be as many season as ratings and network allow"?

Here are the voice actors for the leads.

I REALLY hope somehow Hazel and Amelia are involved. I'm even more confused now why Volume 4 isn't primarily about them

Hype!

Why they are in Train-themed uniforms, I wonder?

Production wrapped up in December.

Found a video talking about how book 4 likely takes place during the 70s or 80s, might feature young Amelia as an antagonist just after she took over and that the main issue to main characters have is that they're gay and have feelings for each other but are afraid to admit it due to the rampant homophobia of the time. Sounds interesting to me.

I like the idea of book 4 taking place in the past. It'd be cool to see how the train functioned before Amelia's takeover.

Here's a poster and log line for Book 4.

Here's a Book 4 clip.

On Thursday April 15, Owen Dennis said that he will take part in a Reddit AMA. It's at 5:00 Pacific/8:00 Eastern.

I always miss the reddit asking sessions,they are so inconvenient

Book 4 just dropped.

Just a reminder that the Reddit AMA question and answer is tonight.

Well. I found this season quite bland. It was still good, I just think the other three seasons were great. Doesn't help that, in addition to not being about Amelia/Hazel, this one also feels different in terms of tone to seasons 2 and 3. I mean, that different feel can kind of be explained as being from the pre-Amelia / pre-One-One era of the train, but it still feels off.

Speculation: it's pretty obvious that One-One isn't as we know him yet, since he only has one eye and has his mirror-self voice and his personality is different. Maybe this version is just called "One" like how Amelia called him in season one. Maybe that will be covered in the movie I heard is being made that is about Amelia?

I liked it. It wasn't as hard-hitting as the other seasons, with a bit more of a small-scale feel, less heavy themes and putting the whole Amelia thing on the backburner, but it still gave me the feels.

It's nice to have one of these end with an "and everything worked out in the end". I feel like I could watch five more of these.

A way to petition folks for more Infinity Train.

I'm more upset that I can't watch Infinity train in any legal way

This is disappointing.

"Dennis went on to discuss various plans that had been in development but never got produced: "There were plans to make a video game at one point. We once had a VR Infinity Train experience where you hung out and solved puzzles in Corginia. Only like 10 people got to play it."

He continued, "I really wanted to make comics and then have them take place in different parts of the world with different writers from different parts of the world writing them using their culture perspective. A choose your own adventure Infinity Train novel was another idea. Those were all ideas in the pipeline that were shelved when company priorities shifted."

Damn company priorities from the corporate overlords. What are the priorities this time? Dumb humor everywhere?

A bunch of fans are trying to get Infinity Train trending on twitter. Owen Dennis wants to help push the trend by offering specific prizes depending on how the show is trending.

I'll be at work most of the day, so I won't participate as much. I hope it goes well, though! Last time I participated in a trending event was with Young Justice.

Feels like they're playing with fire here, offering prizes gives fans an expectation of something, and when they don't get it..well you've seen how toxic twitter is surly?

The prizes seem fairly simple (stickers, some shirts, a jacket) and something only randomly-selected people will get. Also, the only thing they have to do is help get a hashtag trending. That's pretty low-effort and low-risk.
