>Also, corgis are the most overrated animals. Truth. When is it going to be crabs' turn?
Grayson Butler
i have a bad feeling that corgi king will pull a beatrice and betray tulip in episode 8 maybe
Jeremiah Lewis
Tulip is so whiny.
Elijah Diaz
I missed yesterday but that ball is kind of annoying.
Jason Torres
How long until the mega do you think?
Jayden Gonzalez
thats the point you stupid
Ayden Fisher
I like the ball.
Christopher Perez
a least we have the dog to shut him up
Ethan Scott
Isn't this just the pilot?
Brody Gutierrez
give it 2 hours
Ian Phillips
>When is it going to be crabs' turn? Bee and Puppycat ruined crabs in cartoon media.
Andrew Evans
Such is the fate of anyone voiced by Ashley Johnson.
Alexander Evans
So how does the numbers on her palm work?
Jayden Sullivan
With the cat and the train employee thing's reactions, it looks like One-One is important in some way.
Thomas Ross
Guys, I figured out the numbers on her hand. Eventually, it will go up and up until it reaches infinity, and then she'll unleash some maggufin power or something
Matthew Nguyen
its almost like she is a child
Jose Barnes
She has a whiny voice.
Robert Rodriguez
So what happened yesterday.
Jeremiah Brooks
THEY REPLACED PEPE WITH A FUCKING ONION.
Thomas Jackson
Goddamit I forgot about the airing time AGAIN. Fuck you Lion King remake.
James Jones
maybe her number is her stress level? and the whole thing is basically a darkest dungeon reference?
Hudson Collins
We don't know. My guess is it represents how far she is from her destination and she is freaking out for nothing
Gabriel Myers
FUCKING GEMS
Cameron Richardson
set a reminder you stupid
Jeremiah Foster
that hasnt changed, also calling it now One One is god in this place
Jose Walker
pilot reboot/10 i missed the beginning but it was cool how mask lady was manipulating the car's environment with orbs, implying that the whole thing is programmed in
one-one's mom is probably the engineer behind the whole thing who i still think is future tulip
Austin Anderson
is steward searching for oneone for some reason?
Jeremiah Evans
HEY FELLOW KIDS!
Owen Moore
Tulip ends up on infinity train thinking it was an regular train ro where her gaming camp is. Weird shit happens where she encounters some some life draining cockroach things when she tries to exit the train, some beam of light hitting someone unknown and some relationship. Building with ball bot after encountering a cat suggesting she knows who the conductor is
Jaxon Adams
I the Pilot I got the sense that It was her Health Bar cause she got knocked around a bit and the number went down, Also she came to some sort of realization but in this she came to none.
Jayden Wright
I was bored, but I think is just because I saw it before
Luke Kelly
that was abit of an improvement on the pilot
Ethan Williams
This new Dora movie feels like a parody Seth Rogan would make
any theories on the numbers yet? Why does it decrease sometimes and sometimes not? it's on purpose that she doesn't sing good
Charles Green
after the movie, they have no faith in the franchise bringing in money though its their own fault for being terrible at merchandising for it
Anthony Long
Tulip is now a 4 in the autist scale
Grayson Rodriguez
they got a new albem coming out
Christian Richardson
Man, this show feels so rushed. The premise is asking for anime-level progression for the train and all its cars.
Adrian Sanders
Probably the worst episode yet.Not terrible, but it was predictable, boring and not funny.
Cameron Watson
Wasn't that kind of the point
Christopher Young
>they also dont have the CN app Dumbasses
Jonathan Jenkins
MEGA fags need to stop
Jason Cooper
That song is my teenagehood.
Lucas Taylor
>she didnt try to mimic the voice
I'm upset, when you sing Word Up, you gotta get into it.
Ryder Rogers
Wasn't the corgi car the pilot? Or was that a preview?
Dylan Ward
It keeps increasing.
Jordan Scott
Don´t believe them. SU is trash now, but it´s still super popular and they´re still making episodes. CNScoop says 4 more seasons are planned. It´s the closest thing they have to adventure time, so it´s not going anywhere anytime soon.
Ethan Garcia
Only pronoun manchildren watch the show. They aren't the network's target audience and don't buy merch like kids do.
John Perez
Dog or Gem episode?
Chase Adams
The virgin Infinity Train Word Up Vs. THE CHAD AMPHIBIA LEAN ON ME
Joseph Brooks
at least these 2 episodes didn't felt rushed like the 2nd one
James Davis
oh my god kek
Angel Wood
You can rag on things you know. Dossnt mean you hate it
Gabriel Bailey
This road trip song sounds super familiar. Anyone know?
Christopher Roberts
This. Don't bother using the song if you're not going to sing it right.
Matthew Thomas
seems like the whole show's underlying theme is that of family, since her parents are divorced and that's an issue with Tulip, and it only seems to react when she remembers her family.
Zachary Perry
I´m surprised CN just lets them get away with this shit. Specially considering how they´re all working on the same building. It´s very blatant.
Ian Walker
Welp This is getting added to the Yea Forums soundtracks.
Gem episode. Didn´t see the full Corgi episode so I can´t judge it. If it´s just the pilot again, it probably is decent.
Kayden Phillips
after a second slighty weak episode, two good ones in a row. excellent
Sebastian Anderson
(and I just realized I heard the Korn cover)
Justin Cox
August 5th
Connor Nelson
Man, different shows used to feature friendly jabs at each other all the time. People just have thinner skin now.
Daniel Fisher
So did they have to pay royalties to use the actual lyrics, unlike the parody of the Titanic song?
Connor Kelly
I like it. It's not supposed to be good. Tulip is a puberty filled teen, and her singing reflects that. Ashley may be an ex crack addict who is physically a decade older than she really is, but her fucked up throat is great.
Levi Campbell
I missed it. MEGA LINK??
Isaac Kelly
I would say the gem episode was weak too
Hunter Stewart
>TFW OTGW had all 10 good episodes OTGW really was once in a life time.
Austin Sanders
same-network shows reference each other all the damn time are you new or something?
i agree, but i like that they went with a real song and giant rock man was cool
Jordan Flores
Thanks fooling fag
John Lewis
Thank you my good sir!
Lucas Howard
Over the Garden Wall is a strange enigma, that even has fun episodes that are 100% comedic [like the school episode].
It still baffles me how good it was.
Carson Ortiz
You're actually my cum goddess thank you
Josiah Cooper
Looks like this episode was so shit, barely anything wanted to play it.
Gabriel Powell
So, 11's mom is that tentacle creature, right?
Lucas Reyes
A link made you cum? Good god.
Cameron Murphy
Kiitos!
Jack King
I'm not a fan of the Corgi coming along, but whatever.
Adrian Brooks
I agree. Both episodes had my attention and were pretty enjoyable. Really starting to like the trio of Atticus, One One, and Tulip.
Jose Myers
I feel that the pilot was better than the actual episode, desu. The pacing was way too quick in comparision, but it was probably because they had to squeeze in the two minutes before and after the car as to weave the feeling of an overarching story in.
Also, I hope that the crystal car was just a straight-up SU roast because I really not want the theme of the show to be "love your family in both good and bad! Forgive each other!" that pretty much every other cartoon makes an episode of. I was low-key hoping for Tulip to sing how pissed off she was at the car for all its bullshit. I would have finally been subversion done right in a 2010's cartoon.
>Puzzle solved sequence happens >Everybody looks genuinely confused >"Well I sang that from the heart!" >Their face when
I don't really get the corgi's reason for coming since he's the king. Maybe if he had an heir to pass responsibility to it'd make sense but a king just up and leaving for adventure seems retarded.
she at least seemed to be looking for a specific ball
Andrew Young
So... any good lewds yet?
Liam Kelly
I spell it 1-1.
Carter Kelly
I just call him Eleven, one one gets annoying to say
Jacob Hall
How has Tulip been managing her period? She probably had some tampons packed for camp, but they have to been gone now.
Daniel Hughes
I know what he said but why him personally? He doesn't even return to his people. They probably think he died fighting the monster. A king would have sent a knight or a prince or something. They should have made him Prince of Corgina and give his father a brief introduction. IT would make sense for a Prince to go an adventure to help his people and build his character while his father still rules.
Austin Reed
that's legit the weirdest question i've ever seen on Yea Forums
Adrian Mitchell
Silly user, cartoon girls in kids cartoons don't have periods, just like anime girls.
Kevin Murphy
Over the Garden Wall > Adventure Time > Amphibia > Infinity Train > OK KO! Let's Be Heroes > Gravity Falls > SU > Star
Dog Episode: 8/10 Gem Episode 4/10 Nothing as bad as episode 2 but episode 4 was pretty boring. Tulip's feels like she was designed by someone who wanted a quirky character and just put a bunch of quirky traits into one character, like the onion eating. The biggest issue i'm having right now is that its just boring. Ep 3 didn't get good until the end, and ep 4 was just really dull.
Adventure Time > Amphibia >>> Adventure Time post Citadel arc.
Elijah Nelson
>Adventure Time not with that finale, the later season of AT would put it below SU
Noah Williams
I mean't to reply to
Carter White
So how expensive is it to put licensed songs into a show? I especially thought Crazy Train would be expensive for a TV animation budget.
Dominic Diaz
AT and Star Vs feel like they came up with the plot as they went along, while Amphibia seems to know what its plot will be already. I appreciate that greatly.
Sebastian Mitchell
Camp Camp has an episode all around a character having her first period and no one knowing about what's going on.
Nathan Russell
same but he'll probably be more helpful than one-one who's been mostly wacky joke fodder
pacing criticism is fair, though it's funny how the whole episode's about tulip rushing shit
i really didn't like the crystal episode, i just thought it was bland and uninteresting and too much like what was missing. is the only reason people like it because they think it's a epic SU jab? also, has tulip not been open about how annoyed she is with the train? that's not exactly a revelation, or something she's been trying to keep secret.
Daniel Peterson
Depends on the song. The emotional song is from decades ago, and it was never popular, but Crazy Train is crazy popular still.
Oliver Nguyen
Over the Garden Wall > Adventure Time > Amphibia > Infinity Train = Samurai Jack > DuckTales (Reboot) = OK KO! Let's Be Heroes > Gravity Falls >Samurai Jack = Rick & Morty > SU > Star
Anthony Gutierrez
Simple: she isn't on it.
Isaac Phillips
I would not put AT that high, but not too inaccurate.
Charles Bell
Explain your burning hatred of episode 2, Yea Forums.
>feel like I don’t know about adventure time, but Star vs literally did. It was supposed to end after Toffee’s defeat, but was unexpectedly renewed. Same shit happened to Teen Titans
John Cook
I liked the crystal episode. I didn't see it as a SU jab, I'm just a sucker for characters that don't normally sing singing.
Brody Barnes
>Infinity Train = Samurai Jack dont exagerate, Samurai Jack was way better then IT is now, specially because it has a shit ton episodes
Bentley Wright
>he didn't watch Carmen Sandiego, Hilda or TDP weak
Carson Lee
>ranking mini series along with long running shows I don’t think that’s very fair
Noah Flores
All these licensed songs cant be good for the budget can it? Maybe thats why its a mini series if they crammed in more licensed songs.
Noah Reed
Boring, Rushed Character development, nothing to invest the viewer because nothing of worth has happened. EP 4 was basically the same but didn't have any meaningful character development to being with.
Matthew Scott
Adventure Time was supposed to end with the Lich. Merchandise sales were too high to stop the show.
Carson Morgan
Eh, a train themed song for ads is smart, and a Literal Who of a song for a musical episode. Seems like decent enough decisions.
Nicholas Gomez
>word up >literal who Maybe I’m just old
Joshua Ward
>boring If we hadn't already seen the pilot, I feel like this wouldn't be an issue. >nothing to invest the viewer because nothing of worth has happened Gun Eyes there wasn't interesting enough to get you invested?
Hunter Johnson
Better yet, have they been rating and sleeping on this train considering how long they've apparently been on it? How about a little downtime to ground us in the world?
Zachary Ward
oh I thought you meant the second half of episode 1. Episode 3 was boring until gun eyes then it got pretty good.
Aiden Howard
if you watch the episode, the dog is constantly telling her to go to sleep likely so he can eat her
Hudson Davis
I guess I liked it because I thought it was comfy. Tulip bonding with one-one is pretty damn significant in my book and it established cat as a major character. Also nice character development for Tulip in general, along with the most interesting trains of any episode thus far.
Elijah Flores
I am not of the hivemind.
Robert Murphy
Tulip said a week, so she can measure the passage of time.
Joseph Walker
It could have worked for me if this was later in the season, but having it be episode 2 was rushing it a bit. Episode 4 should've been episode 2 so there's more time to actually see a bond instead of just implying one is there.
Camden Martinez
>is the only reason people like it because they think it's a epic SU jab? It's crystals and singing about your feelings, user, SU comparisions were inevitable. And I highly doubt that was unintentional as it is a way too specific combination. Can't say how much I liked the episode because my livestream glitched halfway through. I did liked however how the crystal giant flicked Tulip's makeshift ladder without a thought.
>also, has tulip not been open about how annoyed she is with the train? Only in episodes 3 and 4 has she been explicit about that. Seems to be the common theme in this pack of episodes, as was fear of the unknown in episode 1 and 2. Can really say if that's bad or not as I must see the rest of the episodes to say. Wasn't here for Over the Garden Wall but I'm pretty sure a common complain was that Wirt complained about Greg too much or that Greg fucks around too much.
Carson Torres
I didn't hate it. It was cute, but kinda bland until the Wire-Face showed up. Then it got really fucking good. The gem episode was just boring all around, though.
Henry Gray
>ooh, I like you use circles for your eyes instead of dots was this an AT joke?
>if you watch the episode, the dog is constantly telling her to go to sleep You're right
>likely so he can eat her Maybe he just wants to hump her?
Easton Powell
I thought the montage before the beach car was sufficient in showing their relationship. Also, the time between the first two episodes has canonically been a week. Maybe I found Tulip and one-one's interactions more charming than most people.
I don't deny that SU comparisons are inevitable, I just don't think that makes an episode good and I want to know why people like it. The ladder joke was good.
I give more leeway to kid protagonists because angsty teens will complain and kids will fuck around. If nothing else the crystal episode contributes to Tulip opening up more but it wasn't in a particularly interesting or meaningful way to me.
Alexander White
>Infinity Train is going to have bestiality porn Nevermind, I'm okay with the dog coming along.
Jaxson Gomez
Guys I think they really messed by making this a miniseries. So many of these train cars could been whole episodes yet everything is getting rushed by and the mystery is getting force fed to us. The mystery should be secondary to the occurrence, that's what makes it mysterious. The concept of Infinity Train would be so great for an episodic series with a new world to explore weekly, while still having the overarching issue of progressing through the train and understanding the number. This series could have been so much more. Everything's rushed because there's no time or anything. The ironically named Infinity Train's problem is it's finite episodes. No time to digest or speculate, no time to appreciate each car. No time for character development, proper chemistry. Seriously, if this were a long series, we could have had episodes about "Straight up Italy" each episode new piece being organically discovered with the audience but instead we get this speed run mystery series.
>Infinity Train is going to have bestiality porn >implying IT doesn't have bestiality porn already
Colton Rodriguez
Tulip's an idiot for not going back and exploring the cart she woke up in. Considering it matches her surrounds before she got on should should have least contemplated the chance that there are secrets in "her" compartment would hold that would explain something to her. Where do people come form on the train? Are they all ex-passengers or the descendants of them who gave up on escaping the train to settle down in an uninhabited train car?
Ayden Miller
I dont think i could have sung aloud some piano notes or guitar riff so i would be stuck there to die
Over the Garden Wall > Amphibia > Gravity Falls > Infinity Train > OK KO > Star > SU
Jeremiah Rodriguez
'Hip To Be Square', a song so catchy most people probably don't listen to the lyrics - but they should! Because it's not just about the pleasures of conformity, and the importance of trends, it's also a personal statement about the band itself!
Doin your mom doin doin your mom Doin your mom doin doin your mom Doin doin your mom doin doin your mom You know we straight with doin your mom Doin your mom doin doin your mom Doin your mom doin doin your mom Doin doin your mom doin doin your mom You know we straight with doin your mom I’m doin your mom. Yes yours! I first saw her in the Wal-Mart pickin out your drawers. Big Dolly Parton hair like an 80s prom queen But her ass was lookin good all up in those mom-jeans. I approached her in the checkout line, and said yo baby wassup? She had two gallons of milk, and I was starin at her jugs. Five minutes later she agreed to get with me So we went and rocked the minivan like Giggity. Giggity. Giggity. I was ridin your mom like she was Mario Kart. I gave her a lift back to her crib cause her car wouldn’t start. She invited me in the house, and we started makin out again. How many times I tap that ass? OVER 9000! Yeah. She called me Pledge cause I knocked the dust off it. She later made me a sandwich and she cut the crust off it. Cause she knows how I like it, and that I’m a little young To be in the bed, butt-naked doin your mom. Doin your mom doin doin your mom Doin your mom doin doin your mom Doin doin your mom doin doin your mom You know we straight with doin your mom Doin your mom doin doin your mom Doin your mom doin doin your mom Doin doin your mom doin doin your mom You know we straight with doin your mom I like your mamas big butt, and I cannot lie. You other brothers can’t deny that she’s fly. We make sexy time, yes and every night I tap that. She saw me butt-naked, now she thinks I’m half black. But your moms the best, the super M.I.L.F. Cause she loves to toss the salad even though she ain’t a chef And I blame it on the al-al-al-cohol But If I were you, I wouldn’t kiss your mom on the mouth at all. She likes the Donkey-Punch. She likes the Dirty Sanchez. Sometimes she even likes to fool around in your bed.
I'll guess that there are a bunch more robot orbs who are all ones and a few zeros, spelling out its proper name in binary. Tulip's one-one is the inner core, so the others are progressively larger with the outer shell considered the mother.
James Williams
the crystal car would have to be my new home, i guess
Cooper Morgan
the fact that they also timeskipped an entire week was really lame
Austin Davis
I feel the same way. I'm happy we got some sort of series out of it, but I really think it had far more potential than what we're getting.
Hudson Garcia
I think if theses episodes were 22 minutes instead of 11 that would help a bunch. It'd be enough time to properly set things up and explore each car without going hanging one for too long, and still keep it a miniseries. A lot of shit just goes by way too fast. I really wanted to see the Straight-Up Italy car, too.
I don't think I've ever emotionally connected to a song so I'd just stay there and die.
Unironically Ocean Man. I hummed the corus when I tried to run away as a teen.
Cameron Rivera
that song bring back so many feelings
Christopher Jackson
Hey, uhh... What're you in for? Everything.
Jaxson Reed
guess you can just be mad at CN execs for not having faith or not wanting to fund a full series, or maybe blame the show's team for not selling it to the network well enough for a full series.
Angel Wilson
Doesn't really feel like a twist at all, just something that can be.
Landon Bennett
Do we really want a long series with a character with Tulip's personality though? I sure don't. She works for a short story, and Sad One is already getting tiring. It works right now but in the long run it'd be boring. The Infinity train concept, with its aesthetics and such, would definitely work as a long series, but as it stands right now with the characters, I'd rather have a shorter show.
I assume Tulip would have some growth and be less like how she started off as along the way.
Elijah Cooper
The thing about having a long series is that Tulip doesn't have to be constantly annoyed and edgy and trying to figure out the plot. Maybe we could have a chill episode where she finds a car she really likes and has fun in it. You could even dig deeper and make it about escapism.
Noah Clark
Yeah but all the character's seem awful when their personalities have to rushed out in its extreme in order to portray them in such short episodes. Any character is gonna look like an asshole if you force them to go through such rushed and vapid character development. >want character to grow through conflict >only have ten minutes to show it >make them a complete asshole or completely stubborn/whiny or weak for 7 minutes >make them normal for 3 Wert had that problem a bit but it wasn't as bad since OTGW's narrative was flowed better by design. Of course it might be harsh to compare them.
the current problem is that Tulip's motivation is to get somewhere and get off the train and return to reality/her family/programming camp. She's in a constant time crunch, making her always in a hurry. Unless/Until that goal is achieved, she really can't take the time to relax and chill on the endless hell train
The thing about this is that it's such an abstract goal that's so out of her hands that it's silly to be constantly worrying about it. What has she been doing to accomplish her goal so far? Rushing through trains? Hoping the number on her hand that she knows absolutely nothing about changes because that's progress, somehow? Tulip even admitted that time is meaningless and she probably already missed computer camp. Having an episode about a chill de-stress car wouldn't be this horrible roadblock to the mission that you're making it out to be.
Carson Hill
This episode was literally for her to slow down and not be in a time crunch anymore.
Angel Green
Crazy Train still fits a lot better than any of these. some of them are too specific, others are simply not high-octane enough
her characterization doesn't seem easy-going enough for her to just stop caring about her family and previous life, especially when the train is constantly making her think about and remember her family. currently, a short break episode works to give her some time to rethink her situation and examine the clues she has so far, but in the context of a long series, without providing a bigger puzzle to solve, the series would border on Samurai Jack levels of hopelessness as she makes only tiny bits of progress every 10 episodes or so because she's busy fucking around.
Taking a break in an endless hellscape of train chaos is not the same as forgetting about her family and previous life. If you're talking about the full escapism thing I mentioned it would obviously have an element of hopelessness to it but not one that isn't tied in to the series. Again, the show's definition of progress is tenuous at best and the only definitive "progress" she's made is befriending bipolar ball and dog. There's no reason she should assume making the number change has anything to do with progress (though she wants to believe it does).
And come the fuck on. If you're a sad kid don't tell me you wouldn't want to fuck around a little in Literally Italy Train or other wacky settings.
I know nobody gives a shit about this but I'm fucking pissed that she ran away from home without telling her parents or bringing her phone like a fucking moron - and for goddamned computer camp, of all things. If she's this unhappy about her life then an escapism car makes too much goddamn sense, it could even be a damn programming car and literally have the same function as computer camp.
Jordan Scott
>Infinity Cringe
I'm calling it, this show is gonna steadily decline in quality per each episode
>"oh great, it's a fucking music from the heart episo-" >Word Up Current streak of Yea Forums's cartoon cup runnething over is continuing, but my primary complaint with this show is that the frenetic pacing is making anything related to intrigue completely miss the mark, which isn't helped by the release dump preventing any ability for serious speculation to occur from the fandom; knowing we'll have some answers by the end of the week makes me disinterested in wondering about anything. I don't give a shit about any of the mystery involved, I just wanna see what wackiness will crop up next.
...though now that I put that in writing, it occurs to me that the miniseries format and Tulip's attempts to logically analyze the train failing might be a meta commentary on how cartoons lost their way for so long by trying to replace fast-paced fun with orchestrated long-running intrigue and drama.
Michael Butler
It doesn't look like either of those, wut?
Also, what's with people in the cartoon industry and being passive aggressive assholes?
Nathaniel Wright
>using Clarence as a negative counterpoint That user invalidated their own point. Owen's burn just made it better.
Oliver Hernandez
good one mate. As if
Parker Hughes
The show is making a point about not overthinking things and the release format could easily have been intended to prevent speculation from occurring. It's not entirely impossible.
Joseph Perez
Based.
Ian Hughes
Candlebox - Change
Christian Jackson
I don't deny that this could be the case but if the show really wanted to do that they'd have an episode explicitly dedicated to fast-paced fun that ignores the larger mystery or intentionally packed with red herrings.
Michael Sanchez
Yeah, I hate Clarence's characters, not the animation.
Benjamin Watson
if that was the case they wouldnt drop so many mysteries in the show, instead would be just wacky train adventures with a loose mystery tone
Colton Wilson
I simply think you’re the one overthinking things user; quit being an idiot.
Blake Hall
Do you mean character designs? If you hate Clarence's characters you might have terminal shit taste.
Cameron Anderson
Nigga, it ain't that deep.
Kayden Rodriguez
I don't like "special" characters, since they are usually just as grating as real life, and 90% of Clarence's cast is literally a special needs class.
Evan Sanchez
It wouldn’t be running away if she told her parents she was leaving. But I still agree with you, she should’ve at least left a fucking note or something. Or not run away in the first place and try to walk fucking 300 miles in the snow. It was a really dumb idea for somebody who says they take pride in being smart.
I hadn’t really thought about her phone. I dunno how a kid today could possibly leave their house without one in modern day. I guess I assumed she has her phone in her bag, but it doesn’t work on the train.
Lincoln Cruz
Seeing that one guy get vaporized and One-One’s assertion that the number reaching zero will make Tulip gone forever makes me think that people originally from off the train don’t stick around long enough to leave descendants.
I'm pretty sure that even if we get a season two with a different main character, we'll never actually find out anything about the train and the lesson will be "just enjoy the ride."
Hudson Powell
>a different main character What? Tulip is great, why do more without her?
Caleb Hughes
Exactly. There's no excuse for this shit. That's why they should've stretched Episode 1 out into two episodes and cut something else out (the crystal episode felt pretty pointless). The note thing is an easy fix. As for the forest thing, they could show her getting lost. If she brought her phone, maybe she has too much pride to admit she fucked up. That'd be stupid too, but it'd be an intentional character flaw that she could work through rather than being horrendously stupid and OOC to get the plot moving.
If she brought her phone she would've tried it immediately, and they should've shown that shit. The show wants us to believe this character is rational and intelligent but this shit goes beyond my suspension of disbelief. I usually like to give writers the benefit of the doubt but it really sounds like they half-assed the pre-train stuff because they wanted to get into wacky train shenanigans which disappoints me greatly.
Jason Nelson
This would be based beyond all belief. Too bad it won't happen.
Joseph Brooks
Is this gonna be a mini series or an actual show?
Andrew Garcia
Two episodes a night for five nights, that's ten episodes total. It's a miniseries, same as Over the Garden Wall.
Brandon Mitchell
Nah
It's obviously a older Tulip from the future
Anthony Butler
>He can't speak! Just like Atticus. Hey what the fuck did 1-1 mean by this
I honestly haven't sung a song since early grade school and I probably couldn't quote even a third of the lyrics from any of my favorite songs from memory so I'd probably be screwed.
Kevin Bailey
Wasn't it just the pilot?
Aaron Jones
Were the songs supposed to be a specific nod to any real songs? Or was it more like a nod to a type of song or genre?
Also, are the gem people the most based people so far? I liked water people, but still.
Nathan Walker
They dont allow you to be direct, and some of them obviously dont want to to take shit talking one the chin.
She might still make appearances, but the creators implied on social media that subsequent seasons may not focus on her.
Zachary Green
Seems obvious the underlying message of the whole series is Tuplic accepting her family despite their divorce, hence the number going down whenever she opens up about fond memories with them.
Nathaniel Wright
So I watched episode 1 and I guess this show is about Tulip learning not to be such an autist and judge her parents less harshly as she learns life isn't lived by simple rules (what a big NERD).
That isn't very interesting, though.
Jeremiah Nguyen
Yea Forums here, how does this compare to Galaxy Express 999?
If Tulip is supposed to be staid and rigid the prologue sequence did a bad job of expressing it; of course a kid her age is upset she suddenly doesn't get to go to some big thing she was looking forward to, and it's for a dumb bullshit reason, too. Anyone would be annoyed at someone absent-mindedly fucking up scheduling like that, let alone a kid looking forward to a special treat. It doesn't really communicate anything in the way of a character flaw.
Jose Diaz
youtube.com/watch?v=PT2_F-1esPk It's a song that my GF of 10 years and I know and it's the only one we actually sang to together on the radio. It's great.
But it's an anonymous comment. No one would fucking know about it if he didn't respond.
Andrew Young
>and it's for a dumb bullshit reason, too bad scheduling isn't a dumb bullshit reason, it's actually pretty common and just because she's a kid doesn't mean it's not a character flaw, especially one that's shown to be more intelligent than most
Jacob Cook
Slightly disagree. While the door open on the same principle, they don't explore the same thematics. What was missing was about the inter-relationship of the present people. For Tulip, it was a bout past good memories that still hurt to re-explore.
Ryder Morris
She ran away when she saw 1-1. If she was looking for him, she would have taken him.
Justin Kelly
The crystal guy reminded me of the Steven Melons in the way it pantomimed.
>Only in episodes 3 and 4 has she been explicit about that. Seems to be the common theme in this pack of episodes Whut? Even in episode 1, she want to get off. In episode 2, she straight up jump in the lap of a con-artist at the sole implication she might get a way out.
Andrew Diaz
I was starting to like Tulip but she's quickly turning into an over-exaggerated caracature. Seriously, she couldn't last 10 seconds without sperging out some shit about LoGiC!1!!! and NuMbErS!!!1! Why is there so little subtlety in modern cartoons? What the fuck happened? That or she's meant to be legitimately autistic, in which case bra-fucking-vo.
Jacob Cooper
Damn, dude. I haven't seen you since the old AT/RS/SU threads from back in the day. Glad to see you're still around, doing what you do.
Adam Martinez
it was lifted directly from the pilot i don't dislike it but the problem is that she had the number for a week in the series and it makes less sense why she'd suddenly sperg out about it
Lincoln Flores
>I know what he said but why him personally? You could ask the same question about why he didn't send a knight to accompany Tulip in the first place, when they were still in Corgania and didn't knew yet it was the shadow of a spider.
Maybe the reason he is king is because he is the only want willing to actually do shits.
Thomas Young
Disagree
Nathaniel Anderson
>Tulip's feels like she was designed by someone who wanted a quirky I think the word quirky has lost any meaning. People use it every time there is a character they don't like.
John Scott
She's frustrated by not getting anywhere. She's rash and irritable.
Andrew Diaz
Crazy Train probably goes in the marketing department budget anyway.
Austin Morgan
How does a miniseries that isn't even the best thing that's aired recently compare to a GOAT masterpiece?
Nathan Mitchell
>a Literal Who of a song Wanna know how I know you don't play bass?
Julian Russell
i wish they wrote it in a way that made it easier to empathize with her
Jackson Carter
>Do we really want a long series with a character with Tulip's personality though? Yes, I like her. She react like a normal kid in a situation like this.
>But I still agree with you, she should’ve at least left a fucking note or something. >It was a really dumb idea for somebody who says they take pride in being smart. It was an impulsive moment and she was upset at her parent to care about it. Even smart people can do stupid things.
>. There's no excuse for this shit Disagreeing, from how things were, that impulsive reaction made sense. You are expecting to much adult logic from a teenagers who just got a massive let down from the people who are supposed to care the most about her.
Jaxon Johnson

That's so fucking clever bless you OP.
Juan Moore
What reason did she have to bring her backpack and not her phone? What reason did she have to walk randomly into the fucking woods at night in the goddamned snow, planning to walk 300 miles? Impulse doesn't last forever, and you can only justify so much dumb shit with impulse.
If it works for you that's fine but this triggered the hell out of me.
Nathaniel Carter
good
Jack Long
Thanks!
Isaac Morgan
>cartoon protag voiced by my waifu Ashley Johnson BASED
She grabbed what she can and walked into the woods because she was pissed. She'd probably come home once she realized she can't just walk, but by that time she got kidnapped by a train.
Liam Perry
>What reason did she have to bring her backpack and not her phone? Her backpack was ready for camp and big anobvious >Impulse doesn't last forever, It lasted less than a few hours. Yes, it is justifiable.
>this triggered the hell out of me. At least try to avoid being triggered by things that actually make sense. Kids going out for a few hours before getting back to their sense is relatively common.
Lincoln Martin
We don't even know if she has her phone. Last we saw it, it was her father trying to reach her. Make sense she wouldn't want to deal with that.
So no conversation or any speculation on anything? any theories? Conversation that isn't angry fighting that is.
Ethan Scott
You can't empathize with her anymore because you're just a sad old adult.
Jaxson Carter
I think many teenagers can related to her.
Bentley Nelson
The last one was just Word Up. And one of the others was a Titanic reference.
Aiden Reyes
>"love your family in both good and bad! Forgive each other!" >family Family may be a theme or the catalyst of the show but I think the main theme is selflessness. Each episode Tulip has to do a selfless act tp progress
Kayden Jenkins

Well, the Kansas City Royals have had a pretty bad season, so yes
Caleb Jackson

is fine. but the strongest episode so far is the first one
Michael Ward
This is the second Cameo reference in a cartoon network show I seen this year. What is going on in that studio? did somebody brought their entire discography and blew their mind? youtube.com/watch?v=gcmoSrXzkes
Camden Butler
The song Tulip sings to advance to the next car was Word Up by the band Cameo. Craig of the Creek also did a parody video of that band for some reason.
Leo Jackson
It's alright, but unfortunately the first episode was the most interesting. Everything after that's been kinda bland, with the gun-eyes spider robot thing being an exception.
In episode 1 she seemed to have a blast until she saw that guy get isekai'd into Smash Bros, then she went full panic mode. Getting off the train was literally the last two seconds.
In episode 2 Tulip's mondus operandi finally becomes "fuck this train" but the topic of the episode is wether she should trust the cat thing, immediatly regreting her desition of giving away One-One soon after she does.
Episode 3 is about speed running through the train while 4 is Tulip complaining that the train won't let her to do so
Still, my problem is that family is the catalyst for the plot's core. Since I've never been all that attached to my family the theme has never resonated with me. Thanks god Tulip doesn't have any siblings to angst about or else my immersion would have been way more alienated than it have already has.
Ultimately I have to put my complains aside, though, as a mini series it thought as a whole so there are many pieces that we still haven't seen. Let's just hope that the thing of focus ghis tome is given at least five seconds to breathe.
Alexander Sanchez
>Getting off the train was literally the last two seconds. No, it literally wasn't. Wanting to get off the train is what set up the doroach and that's a good deal of the episode.
All of the episodes clearly indicate she want of the God damn ride, as you establish yourself.
the train is not real, Tulip is hallucinating while shes dying in the snow
Adam Jones
And Atticus represents a stray dog humping her unconscious body. I see now
Xavier Mitchell
She's dying in the snow and in the last episode, before she dies, her dad saves her from freezing to death.
Aiden Kelly

Heia Safari!
Liam Diaz
I´d be dead. There´s almost no song that´s emotional to me. I like a lot of songs but I´ve never had a personal connection with any of them.
Gabriel Bennett
I wanted this to be a mini-series when I saw the pilot, but when I think about it, what I really wanted was a full season, but only one. 25 eleven-minute episodes would have been great for this, each episode dedicated to a specific car. But just 10 episodes isn´t enough for what Owen is trying to do.
Seriously this is anime level un-subtlety of "shouting every plot point or else the audience won't get it" mentality
Mason Gomez
Anyone do shot comparisons between the pilot and episode 3? I know they're essentially the same but it might still be fun to look at
Colton Powell
What if the guy who appeared to be vaporized was actually leaving the train? Also, One-One is named so since it's the model number of the two bots composing it
That was my assumption. The train appears to have neverending tracks on one same place so when it stops is because he reached a station, so to speak, on the outside world is and dropping a passenger. Probably happens too when a new passenger comes. Never thought about One-One's seriel number being his name, any other speculation to share?
Connor Evans
The emphasis and depth some of you expect out of a children's cartoon is absurd. Not every show has to have half the season dedicated to world-building. It's a miniserie, it's brevity is meant to kickstart discussing, and the pacing is in-line with the plot. Tulip isn't going to dedicate weeks to studying the train or trying to solve it's secrets, she just wants off the wild ride. A part of the fun is speculation anyway like are the cars their own microcosm that exist in their own pocket dimension with the doors serving as ties with the train world? Or seeing how the steward was able to interface with Corginia, do the cars host virtual simulations for their denizens?
Brandon Fisher
>Cat: "But unfortunately, my personal shuttlecraft has been grounded" >voiced by Kate Mulgrew Kek
Do we even have a time period in the setting? It seems intentionally ambiguous.
David Allen
She has a modern smartphone. And texting is the normal method of communication.
Aaron Adams
I take it as a mix of both. The train was built so that each car was a mini world with the train as the main hub. Steward making reparations on each car's universe's programming if there was something happening. Not a virtual simulation but a full real world made out of advanced technology or something like that, all within each car.
Cameron Johnson
Judging by the way Cat Mulgrew was dressed, maybe there was a bit of truth to knowing the conductor. Since her shuttle went to shit, she tried bargaining for parts with the water blobs but being how she's a cat, she made Randall her liason, hence the whole business schtick. Start a pyramid scheme, get what you want, and go. She seemed like she knew where she was going when she had one-one.
Caleb Collins
Anachronism?
Logan Collins
I saw some people on reddit (gasp) complaining that in episode 2, it's weird that Tulip won't give up One One in episode 2 since they just met, but I saw that more as just an empathy thing with her feeling like One One was helpless and that the cat wasn't all that trustworthy.
Nolan Thomas

Kayden Davis

Carter Baker

Juan King
She know about speech recognition.
Gabriel Hughes
Her friend says “I’ll text you when you get to camp!” And she receives a text from her dad, on her smartphone. Which is perfectly normal for making it relatable for today’s kids, and was done subtly enough that it wasn’t overbearing or too dating. But they could’ve easily left that detail out if they wanted to make the time period a little more ambiguous, and it leaves the issue of why she’s not trying to use her phone after she gets on the train, or why she didn’t bring it with her.
I think maybe they showed her toss her phone aside after her dad texted her, so maybe they’re trying to get at her leaving it in a huff and not wanting it because she didn’t want to get texts or calls from her parents, but personally I don’t think that’s a good enough reason. I’d expect most kids to carry their phones on them anyway and just block calls they don’t want, not leave their phone completely. And even if she did leave her phone, it’d be nice if early on in the show she had a small line about being frustrated she doesn’t have it. Alternatively, a small line about trying to use her phone and it not working on the train would be just as good. I know the episodes are short and time for little details is limited, but it’s kinda a nagging question that’s left open.
Jonathan Smith

Ayden Wood
There might be a season 2 with a different protagonist a la FLCL
Jaxon Lewis
No, there will be more.
Dylan Roberts
Maybe, there's also the possibility Cat ended up in that car and wants to go back to her own. Her shuttle doesn't look like it has the same style as the Beach car's theme. I am curious as to what Ono-One's role is, the cat was interested in him and wanted him as payment for a reason, and the steward flew/slithered/ran away the moment it saw him. Maybe the conductor is his mom?

Hadn't dawned on me during the pilot but One-One's actually the brain of that metal spider, isn't it? The insides seem like a perfect fit.
Kayden Fisher
Like some kind of inverse Mob Psycho 100? How long till she hits OP psychic powers at zero then?
I think it's a number indicating priority for either "meeting the conductor" or what we saw in the first episode where you get extracted from the train painfully.
Eli Jones
Interesting change I noticed between the pilot and the production.
Does this mean that the Steward itself need a control orb? Maybe it was removing all of them to look for the right one?

I'M FUCKING SEEING RED WITH RAGE. I SERIOUSLY GONNA DO IT, I'M GOIN T0 FUCKING DO IT. WHAT IT IS I'M SURE YET, BUT SOME KIND OF ACT, SOME ATROCITY, SOMETHING WRONG AND EVIL. I'M GONNA MAKE COLUMBINE LOOK LIKE A FUCKING JOKE.
For the Numbers on her palm. When it was the pilot i thought that something wrong was going with the train and the steward or even all the stewards, if there are more, were wrecking havoc in all the train trying to do their job but malfunctioning. The number being the number of the car Tulip had to go help fix hence it changing when The Corgi Car was set at ease. Now with the official thing i think it's indeed the number of the stations remaining untile she reaches her destination and the train works on a emotional problem level or something. Her number went down by one when talking about how to manage work and fun because of her dad, her number went down again after working her emotions and telling she actually cares and that's why she was mad, on corginia she learned to take a moment when things aren't so clear in life and that she shouldn't stress over what she can't control but rather work things as they come, the crystal car had her sing a song that reminded her when her parents were together and had road trips, Tulip is completely amiss bevause of her parent's divorce and runs away when she feels they failed her and then a mysterious train appears, a train that tells is going to Osh Kosh as her parents couldn't take her there.
