Denizens solve puzzles?

There probably are Denizens created personally for passengers, but there also certain Denizens that are more aware and have more function than other DenizensCat and mirror world Denizens are aware they are on the train, and that passengers are the ones who "Matter" They are aware of Passengers, and know of the inner workings and purpose of the train. They have lives, purposes and motivationRandall Tuba and the Kick me Toad are aware of the Train and it's rules, but accept it as their reality. They are content living on the train and don't question their purpose. They have thoughts and emotions but probably only so most passengers don't spiral like the Apex did and believe that Denizens are worthless(like how its easy to just mow down citizens in skyrim or GTA)Atticus, Most other denizens we've seen, Alan Dracula? are probably NPC Denizens. Denizens meant to fill cars, they aren't meant to leave their cars, and probably most of them don't even notice or remember passengers. Most probably do the smae exact thing every single day

>>117397447The wasteland is Bill Cipher's old dimension and backyard.

Jesse was already on the train getting his memories recorded when Tulip entered the mirror car, and Lake was created as Jesse's personalized companion.However Amelia was still in charge, so Lake was made too independent, and sent out into the mirror car Where Tulip was.She was meant to reflect Jesse, a more punk version of him that became a full bully to help him determine what he did wrong, but instead was placed with Tulip, a Nerd, and hated it, forcing her independence.

>>117397447I was the guy pushing the Governmental Cover Up theory a while back.It fits

>>117398573Nah, I just like the idea of the train just hating fatties.

>>117397447The train was built to prevent some devistating future event by correcting (or eliminating if necessary) the humans that would cause it.

>>117398651Wouldn't that create a paradox? If the bad future never happens they have no reason to build the train

>>117398718Don't say that, One-One will have a fit.

>>117397447The train is purgatory for denizens (humans who have died and judged to fall into purgatory and not necessarily humans who died on the train). If you help enough passengers fix their problems and leave the train, you may be reviewed by God's impartial judge (One-One) to be let into heaven. >The closer you were to heaven, the more anthropomorphic your denizen form is. >The more people you fix, the more gifts you are given to fix more people. >It's possible to devolve into a less anthropomorphic or even lose physical being if you mess up for too long. >The Cat started out on a low rung, but has found a way to seemingly cheat the purgatory rewards system and is as close to human as a cat can be>Most nonverbal and passive denizens were unbaptized infants and toddlers initially.

>>117398890Oh god.....what if the train DID cause the bad future?What if kidnapping all these people and seperating them from their families for months at a time and making proving that it actually happened SOMEHOW caused some people to become bitter and paranoid? Who could have seen that coming?I guess...I guess it's the end of the line for the train.

>>117397447The train final destination is Silent Hill.

>>117397447/sci/guy here, I had some time to kill at the lab today so I thought it'd be interesting to see if you could come up with a simplified statistical model of The Train's survivability rate and gain some insight as too whether it's doing more harm than good.Define L as the lethal experience rate (odds that an experience on a car will lead to passenger death).Define P as the positive experience rate (odds that a passenger has an experience that reduces their number).Define N as the passenger's starting number.Define C as the number of cars a passenger visits.Define R as the amount that a passenger's number is reduced by in response to a positive experience.Assume the passenger sample size is sufficiently large that the average survivability, , is a function of averages , , and .Furthermore, assume = X, where X is some fraction.We can intuit the average number of cars a passenger visits before getting their number down to zero, then, is: = /(P) = 1/(P X)In which case the survivability rate of the train is: = (1 - L)^ = (1 - L)^(1/(P X))Which, since it's generalized, is easy enough to plug some values in to see possible rates. Suppose, on average, 0.1% of cars are lethal, 5% yield a positive experience, and you knock off about 10% of your number each time. That would imply a survivability rate of 81.86%, with the average passenger having to visit 200 cars to get off.

>>117397447the only purpose of the train is self-perpetuation, everyone it abducts will directly or indirectly affect part of the train's creation (ex. maybe a descendant of Tulip's programs One's AI). The purpose of all the therapy shit is to ensure that the person acts the way history says they're supposed to in order for events to eventually play out in the right way to ensure the train is created.

The reason Samantha didn't go back for Simon is because passengers that die just get physically replaced with a clone of the original to retry without any memories. It wouldn't be much of a learning process if you don't get a chance to try again. She was willing to give him up for dead and let him get refabricated, she didn't expect him to survive, and to resent her for it.In fact, that's Season 4, 10 year old Simon and the Cat, and at first we assume it's the past, but up until episode five we get hints not everything is right until Simon and the Cat encounter an older Grace, still unable to let Simon go and stuck on the train, all the Apex kids gone home.

>>117397447Watching scenes from Infinity Train just makes me want an animated adaptation of Roadside Picnic/Mosfilm's Stalker. They have similar vibes but Infinity Train feels less sincere about the ways people behave and interact, how their motivations are developed. The Simon thing seems too hamfisted to have been a satisfying ending; I think creators have trouble leaving things ambiguous in this day and age. I recognize I'm asking for more philosophical meat in a children's cartoon, but I think there might be an audience for a more emotionally and thematically complex story.

how long was amelia in charge? the train uses cultural references when designing cars, probably taking them directly from the memories of passengers. what would be the earliest she could have been in charge, given that some of the earliest cultural references in the train includes godzilla and the flintstones car.

>>117400503no dude, haven't you ever seen Baby Genuises? it's like that.

>>117407440I just realized that Simon went full grunge because it is the opposite of his childhood Christopher Robin look

>>117400356I still feel bad for those guys. How many denizens do you think got absolutely merced by The Apex?

>>117407753She entered the car in her mid-20s to early 30s and she looks >60 at Season 1, so she's probably in charge for around 30 years.

>>117407799By now? Several thousands at least considering there seem to be about 30 to 40 kids who need 2 to 3 meals a day and ever growing caloric needs since they're still growing. I predict they raid three to four cars per week to sustain themselves.

>>117407753IIRC they say like 30-35 years

>>117400332>cars reset after all foreign elements leaveNah. The Theater Car in season 3 is singing a play about empathy that Jessie taught them earlier. Jessie even tries to use the song when dealing with the Family Tree Car.

>>11740807033

>>117408245also the frog car used to have water in it and the turtle car had corgis.

What is the car aging process like? Owen stated in the AMA that all cars are eventually recycled after a certain amount of time. Damage caused by passenger doesn't affect this process either. Is there like a huge furnace in the caboose that takes care of these aged out trains? Owen made no mention of what occurs to the denizens inside them.

The train saves people before they die like being out in snow or thinking about klling them self from the sadness. but the tade off is the train copys your mind to add to it self and trys to see if it can fix you. so becameing evil is true freedom from the train

>>117408535Don't ask him what he does with his characters for all he cares they all die horribly the second we don't see them on screen

>>117408698>The train saves people before they dieI don't think that's true unless you're indicating that 10 years old Grace was suicidal and Jesse was suicidal. Neither one of those two were in danger at all. WoG states that the train picks people up who are at a crossroads in life. I think that since the train is purely working on probability, it picks up people who have a 50/50 chance of going down the right path or wrong path. It only picks up people who have a chance at getting better, but only if the individual works to get better.

>>117409662That's deeply unsettling, good shit.

>>117412666The idea even scares Satan. >>117409662Now consider if passengers are 60% Randal, this means that they bring Randal to the real world outside the train when they depart. Our rivers and oceans are now Randal too.

>>117412779It's always been Randal.

>>117412833>It's always been Randal.needs 1-1 and Tulip in the astronaut meme

>>117409316As other have said (>>117409430 , >>117411438) I made some pretty generous estimates.What's more - since C goes is inversely proportional to P and X, and change in either significantly changes it, and since S goes like the power of C it's exponentially more sensitive. Reduce *either* P or X by half, and you double the expected number of cars to 400 and the survivability rate drops to 67%. Halve both and it's an average of 800 cars and survivability drops to 44.9%. Keep both fixed, but increase L to 1-in-100 and the average cars drops back to 200, but survivability drops to 13.4% Etc.Simply put, we have no idea what "typical" rates for those numbers are. Tulip spends 5 months on The Train, Jesse spends a couple of weeks on it, but we have no way of confirming how many cars either of them actually goes through before getting their numbers down to zero, what percent of them resulted in reductions, or even how long a typical amount of time to complete a car is... we've seen some that can be blitzed through in seconds, while cars like The Lucky Cat Car could keep someone stuck for months. It's all just best guesses for now, but at least it gives us a *broad* sense of what a random/arbitrary passenger's odds are going to be if we make some assumptions about those numbers.We can also flip it around and gauge what it would take for a passenger's odds of survival to stay above a certain rate. Take S to be fixed at whatever odds you're comfortable with and solve the relationship between the other variables.Ex. Suppose you find yourself on The Train, and after going through your first hundred cars, you note that four resulted in experiences that got your number down, and you've decreased it by about 10% since you started, you can make a rough estimate that P ~ 0.04 and X ~ 0.025. Based on that you can estimate you probably have around 900 cars to go, and as long as as less than ~1-in-1400 cars are lethal your odds of surviving are better than 50/50

>>117397447Whenever the toad is kicked, it's car doors open, even if it isnt in said car. This means that Terrance taking the carnival job keeps his car functioning and how the flecs escape.

>>117414776Which makes The Toad Car even weirder now - it's just an empty room you get locked in until the doors randomly open long enough for you to get out. It could be a hours or days, you have no idea, and if it happens while you're asleep, or not paying attention you have no idea when the next time it opens could be.That's terrifying.

Simon doesn't ever try to address these fears in the show or change his behavior though having had several chances to do so and his denial of the truth is the reason all of his fears have come back to bite him in the end. In the end, everything he tried his hardest to avoid happening---getting ghomed, being alone---ended up happening.

Is S03E09 and E10 not out yet? can't find any torrent for it.

>>117398039That was the guy Lake hitched a ride with. He was on his way to the car that gives out numbers.

>>117420218It's out, I watched it on thewatchcartoononline

>>117419288eh, they had the roach dogs in all seasons so it made sense for us to see what they did eventually

>>117420218there alread a link in this thread but take this one, it was subtitles for all the episodes.mega.nz/folder/Op0Q2SaJ#UuX_isTFsrWp69nDkySOBA/folder/70cDFYzT

>>117411472>>117409066there was also a rick & morty bit about one too. isn't there an old book with like the exact same concept as this show?

>>117401289>Season 4Nah, there's no way it does well enough especially with how slow HBO Max is catching on. This show is as good as done.

>>117422558i dont have any hard data but it seems popular. certainly made a splash here and from what i can tell reddit and twitter are at least aware of it. the cartoon network logo is still on it so its been speculated that they'll re-air it. owen lies.

>>117422558Don't believe Owen's lies - S4 is already in production.
