Infinity Train Review: Book 4 - Duet (Part 1)
Вставка
- Опубліковано 8 вер 2024
- Infinity Train has unfortunately been cancelled at Book 4, despite the storyboards for Season 5 already having been created (after a movie pitch was rejected!). Then, to pour gasoline in the wound and light it ablaze, the series was completely removed from HBO Max and Cartoon Network due to dumb executive decisions from the Warner-Discovery merger. All hope is not lost, but it will be a massive bummer if this fantastic series can’t find a way to continue (which is sadly a possibility), because this train to nowhere still has so many stops left!
In the 1980’s, Ryan Akagi and Min-Gi Park were estranged childhood friends who ended up being the first "buy one, get one free" passenger(s) to be abducted onto the infamous interdimensional train that forces you to get busy bettering yourself or get busy dying. With the saucy service bell Kez to aid them, and Amelia overthrowing One as the Conductor in the background, these two rock buddies venture through the “train to nowhere” to unlock the true Chicken Choice Judy experience within their collective selves.
In this video, I review the first 5 episodes of Book 4:
"The Twin Tapes"
"The Iceberg Car"
The Old West Car"
"The Pig Baby Car"
"The Astro Queue Car"

I am still angry that Infinity Train was cancelled and removed from HBO Max. I remember when the pilot first came out on UA-cam and loving it. It is an amazing show that deserved better.
I just wanted the movie
Who doesn't?!
And because of the whole bs "no child entry point" like seriously?!?
For real I didn’t even get to watch it so that’s stupid
@@SMG7_Yeshere's some archived google docs but also it doesn't support the creators
Hell yeahhhhhh new Uncivilized Elk. Happy to have any content from you. As always, hope you put your mental health first and will always be rooting for you.
I was so excited the moment I read, "Uncivilized Elk," and, "16 hours ago."
Ive missed you so much man, I'm glad to see you again😭 I hope your doing better.
Glad to see you. Thanks for bringing some Infinity Train. I'm excited! Here we go! :)
I’ve been missing this show so much! Thanks for feeding us with great Infinity Train content! ❤️
glad to see someone else get the vibes that they might be together in the future but that they have some other issues to work through before they could really even consider it.
Interesting. Book 4 may have been my favorite one. Each book was better than the last for me with the exception of 3 and 4 being basically a tie. I was so hyped for a part 5 but big corporate crushed my dreams
I was worried because April Fools but this was a pleasant surprise. Great job as usual and I hope your mental health is better and I can't wait for which video's next. Oh and hope that Infinity Train COMES BACK to us.
It’s always a gift to see a new upload from you in my inbox. Always excited for the next one, whenever it is!

@@Strawberrycock309 how did you find us here
@@DingerCity just good taste
I was little scared getting this video on April fools, but it was great! LOVE this channel
Holy hell you're still alive
what a treat! it's always great hearing from this channel. i love infinity train, though i would rank season 3 slightly higher than 2. and the relationship between min and ryan i've personally always seen as platonic. also, i think close best friendship is rarely explored in shows, unless it turns romantic, so it's more interesting that way.
Fuck yeah Uncivlized Elk!!! I’m happy to see you back, was just binge watching your adventure time reviews this past week what a coincidence!
aw hell yeah new video!! its always a treat when you upload, but remember to take it a day at a time ! :) your reviews are always so insightful and fun, your writing is very cool i think! ive been following you since stakes which was apparently 7 years ago and like. wow time is fake and/or an illusion.
a little sidenote but thank you for being respectful towards shipping/headcanons lol its really refreshing seeing someone who doesnt throw a fit bc fans are "pushing a gay agenda" or smt when its mostly just a thing done for fun that is harmless on its own. as someone whos nonbinary, i rlly enjoy the enby ryan headcanon myself haha :,,) and yes i do agree kez is the best.
sorry for the word vomit i just got inspired haha + thanks a lot for your videos!! theyre a bit of a comfort for me (and probably one of the reasons i learned more english words in the first place??) SO, thanks again
Hey, longtime viewer here. Just wanted to say thanks for keeping the discussion around this show alive, Infinity Train was a huge influence on myself as an artist and a writer and while I have lost hope that the show will ever be renewed on HBOMax, part of me still REALLY wishes that someday there will be some sort of revival on a different platform. Until then, it's nice to see that people out there still have things to say about it and will continue to spread the good word even as capitalism continues to ruin the day once again. Thanks for everything Elk. :)
By the way, in case you were wondering (and for anyone remotely curious enough), here's my ranking of the books from best to worst: 2, 3, 1, 4
Keep going man ❤
You're the best detective of all time
I am so glad to watch you again after a four-month break
Even if it's not a continuation of your recent videos
I want to let you know on your. Most recent video to let you know when I was depressed your adventure time videos held me through your voice is amazing and I'd love to see you more active I'll alway be wait and wanting more reviews your so good at this
I really hope you continue this i just love your perspective
I really hope you come back all the way eventually man. Love your vids and will stay subbed for years to come just in case
You saying schrodinger's gay killed me
im so glad youre still here, thank you for sticking around
Somehow I missed this upload of yours and I'm not sure why, maybe youtube decided to not push it. I'm excited to watch!!
They were two things I was expecting from this season, 1- something horrible happening to one of them and 2- something that confirmed they had romantic feelings and non of those things happened.
I said to myself that I wouldn't have expectations from future seasons and I guess now I won't.
Infinity train was so goooooood!!!
YEEEEESSSSS
Happy to have u back, man! Missed you.
Great to see you back again!! Looking forward to watching this hehe.
Another fantastic video Elk, thank you for putting this amaizing video for us, I love your work but I wont rush you for more content, take care of yourself in the meantime and I hope to see yet another new video from you and another season of Infinity Train in the future.
Great to see you!! And now I have an excuse to rewatch infinity train
Hm, I think the scene with the multiple times Ryan's relationships end up abruptly and poorly, plus how akwardly performative the flirting with the cat was, specially in contrast with how open and genuine he usually is, kind of suggest to me that maybe his attraction to women is driven by social expectations and does not come off naturally or at least in a way that allows for long term, healthy relationships. And gives extra weight to the queer reading of the story. But it's a bit convaluted, I admit
Min even said that Ryan returned in less than a year in one of the eps. Given that he dated three girls in less than a year (that we saw) this could be one of the interpretations, but as Ryan is very impulsive he could have entered into relationships very quickly, for example in just a week, without knowing the girl very well, because he must have been feeling alone as he was traveling without anyone. And as each girl were completely diferent to each other, perhaps he still doesn't know the type of person he wants for himself, being more concerned with curing his loneliness since his family doesn't care about him and his friendship with his best friend has suffered a huge blow. . He may be the type who has several “friends” who are not realy friends, but rather people he likes to hang out with (an extrovert must have problems something like that, I imagine), but what he wants is a genuine connection with someone. . At least that's my interpretation.
DAD?? YOU CAME BACK
Choo choo all aboard the elk train
ELK HAS RETURNED WITH ANOTHER VIDEO, WHAT A JOYOUS DAY 🎉❤
Loved the review!!! Very valid points.
The analysis on Ryan's forward focus was really cool - I never thought of it that way. 😮
I adore this show, especially this book. Book 4 was my favorite.The queer themes truly resonated with me.
Yay you’re back!
Glad to see you back elk❤
Are you muslim? If so ramadan Kareem 🌹🤝
@@user-uw7lu2sp5n you too🤗
Welcome back 🥺
yessss i've missed your reviews
Happy April fools day everyone!
I always get so excited seeing updates from your channel, they seriously make my day! 💙
I love how detailed and well thought out your reviews are, especially because shows like infinity train deserve some love. I’m really looking forward to more adventure time and infinity train vids from you! No pressure, of course, I hope you take care of your mental health first. Thanks for another great video!!
take all the time you need buddy, we love to hear you and we will be waiting, for all i care the worse thing your doing is saying bad things about your self,
I'm so glad this isn't an April fools joke
HE'S BACK
:O
UNCIVILIZED ELK DOING A INFINITY TRAIN REVEIW AGAIN?!?! YOU HAVE NO IDEA HOW FAST I CLICKED ON THIS VIDEO!!!
(Also, your book 2 review got me into the show, back in 2020, and it’s now my favorite cartoon of all time. Thank you so much)
Oh wow I forgot about this video series, awesome
Its heavily implied Ryan and Min-Gi end up together from the colours at the end screen. They're the bisexual flag colours. And considering that Lake was supposed to be an open trans character it's possible CN axed this part of the story as well.
I remember reading that Owensaid this was just for aesthtic but who knows
Uncivilised elk I have loved your Adventure time content since I was younger please continue you work on it. I was thinking maybe you could review gravity falls ?❤
Glad to see you again!!!
Great vid as always! Have you ever considered making shorts? It could be a nice, low-effort/ low pressure way of putting your thoughts out there. I know I’d be into it!
I'm glad you're okay, dude
ur reviews are like the best thing ever. Its so incredible how ur mind works and gives us information in such a fun way. not to mention every show u cover is so in depth ya knoww. Its also helping with my english soo muchh !!
Literally just watched through some older videos two days ago! Missed your content! Hope you are managing ok and keepin up the good work! 😊
OMG yess i love this! i literally cant wait to start watching infinity train again! thank you for sparking my interest again!
Hi!! Great to hear you again!
This book was ... Hard to watch in a god way. I watch it at a time when I like broke up with my best friend? And it was a hard pill to swallow to identify with the fuck up character, the one that is messy and dumb and nerdy and makes dreams thinking his friend will me in them just to find out he has been perceived as selfish and dumb all along.
Honestly it's amazing how the show although yet is small and short was able to make me feel so much.
I would have liked if they became a couple because I thought there was some gay shit going on there 👀 but even if they are just friends I still enjoyed it
Also all the Emilia content was really cool, i hope they make comics or boos about more stories in the train if they don't manage to keep making it a cartoon, i would still support the hell out of it
I mean, who whould NOT flirt with Samantha given the chance?
Awesome video 🎉🎉 I'm very happy you're doing okay
Thanks for this.
I'm just Glad you are doing okay ❤️
Always glad to see you upload, thanks for the videos.
fist time i saw uncivilized elk this mad. holy moly
Great video keep up the good work
Glad you’re still vibin
Glad to see you're back.
Hope you're doing well
love see u back at it again!!! i’ve enjoyed all the content and ur the only one interesting enough worth watching on here when it comes to IT (and AT) so i hope see u again
Glad to see you're back again!!!
I miss infinity train
FUCK YES NEW UNCIVILISED ELK VIDEO BEST DAY EVER
im pretty sure the only reason ryan and min gi weren't brothers was to leave room for shipping
I just... really couldn't stand Book 4. None of the characters were particularly interesting, I found Kez ESPECIALLY grating, and the lack of expanding lore could have been offset if there were anything esle to get into, but everything just felt so... cartoonish. Lower stakes is one thing, but a total lack of consequences is another. There was only one scene I thought was really well done, when they were talking in the labyrinth, but it gets pretty much washed away almost immediately.
Great point about the possibility of them just talking things out in the normal train btw, it does really make you think!
The elk is back. Happy days.
Even if I'm not invested in book 4 it's criminal that we're loosing good shows for dumb reasons also you should check out the owl house it's going to end next week but unfortunately it's another show that effected negatively corporations it's like there aren't any good place for publishing animated shows at least fionna and cake isn't canceled yet.
Welcome back! 🎉
Whoo! More Elk! ❤
Great analysis👍 keep it up 🔝
OMG INFINITY TRAIN YESSSSSSSSSSSS LETS GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO I LOVE THIS I LOVE THIS
Always great to see a new video from you :)
sorry about your depression man.
He's back
Elk!! You were missed. Do a review on Summer Camp Island
i just subscribed cuss i love all your videos. i hope you keep coming out with more vids because your content is awesome
12:52 There's actually a system behind it, which, you guessed it, would've been answered in Book 5.
Elk just made an ice promise. You all wait.. we’ll all be waiting for adventure time and infinity train content and nothing will have happened for months then BOOM… SKYHOOOKS! (New elk video :D)
I love this season, but it also felt unsatisfying and had some lost potential imo
DUDE youtube didn't tell me! Glad to see you again man (3 months later to the upload, but you know!)
Thanks!
Elk, you can do it
So uhh, are we gonna get the next part of this and the adventure time distant lands series?!😅
Eventually.
wtf i havn't seen infinity train since season 2 had no idea it went past season 2...... this is why i havn't heard anything about it? it was one of the only shows id activley go to their network for. what a shame they really are dead set on killing T.V.
Your voice reminds me of Jessie Eisenberg lol
Love u elk, hope u doing good man.
