Infinity Train Book 2 has discovered a new mystery in the subtle destruction

Over the course of five nights, the kooky, off-kilter The infinity train paid for on Cartoon Network, following in the footage of the event's special events Over the Wall Garden and Genndy Tartovosky & # 39; s It's high. At the end of the fifth night, Tulip, a passionate game designer with a very analytical personality, discovers the secrets of an endless, puzzle-filled train, discovers what's gone wrong, fixes it, and finds his way home. The story was perfect.

Except that it wasn't. “Book 2,” arrives this week for another five nights, a recording of 10 episodes keeps the imagination fresh by introducing a completely new character. Written with an experienced train veteran, the central mystery to watch, it spills new passenger Jesse's store as the train depots advance. But does it work?

Two nights in Book 2 have already evolved in the first season, focusing on how different characters interact with the fixed world.

The infinity trainThe first season was one of last year's best shows because Tulip was a savvy guest; he used his skills and knowledge in an unknown area to find out what was going on and solved the mystery of the train. And by pointing out what went wrong (the brilliant scientist who hired him for his own selfish purposes), he not only agreed with his story, but laid the groundwork for future stories.

When Book 2 begins, we know how the train works: it is visible to people suffering from a personal problem, one often involving their shortcomings. Each passenger receives a green number on their hands. Actions that help them work through their difficulties reduce the value; cheating their problems or playing on their mistakes increases their value. When the number reaches zero, the passenger can exit.

With this in mind, to make the point of the second season understand the "how" of the story would be unnecessary. With a new character on board, the key question becomes "why?"

While meeting the new train rider Jesse at the end of the first episode, we came across videos of teaching new riders made by Tulip's robot pal, One-One. Book 2 begins to follow MT's partner, whom Flip allows him to move freely in the first book, which has now escaped from the Mirror Police. He knows how a train works, and of course, how to make Jesse. The real mystery of the season involves finding out why the heck is there

The first three episodes do not reveal the exact situation, but the difference between Jesse and Tlip is immediately apparent. Tulip was analyzing, analyzing each vehicle before leaving. Jesse, meanwhile, is carefree and easily entertained by each train room. It seems that it doesn't really matter that he's on a magical train, skipping to pick up the deer he encountered and quickly absorbing the information into the virtual talking cloud. At first it turns out that the One-One instructional videos have made him comfortable, but Jesse is not in doubt. In fact, as he reveals so much about himself, it becomes clear that Jesse is the type of person who usually does what is asked of him without protest.

Tulip's rational and ethical personality is the kind of character we often see in male protagonists – think Sherlock Holmes or Spock – and the character that fascinates the people of Jesse actually becomes a Disney princess like No.Ana or Cinderella. That in itself provides an interesting distinction between speculators, made more evident by the MT gruff personality and deceitful personality. But while Flip's method of analyzing cars eventually helped him to accept his parents' divorce, Jesse's number absolutely refuses to go down. After getting off the family car in Episode 2, his number is gone high.

The more we learn about Jesse, the more he finds his fatal flaw: to give in to peer pressure and to become less independent. In episode four, Jesse and MT (and deer pal Alan Dracula) find themselves in a Toad Car, where the only way out is to hit the chair, talking to the Sadad. After a brief fight, MT calls out Jesse to simply kick the mustard, not wanting to do it as the waist urges him not to do it. It's the only way to the car, so you raise your foot to do it – and you see his number start to go up. When he does what he wants to do (not kicks the butt), it goes down.

Not wanting to risk it, Jesse is not kicking his butt, he is independent – and he has put them both in the car just yet. As the two get out of the car empty-handed, Jesse watches a video capturing a moment before the train appears to him, revealing what brought him here: he refuses to stand up for his younger brother when the beloved children abuse him.

By the end of episode four, MT and Jesse made some changes and headed for the next car. They both have a little better understanding of why he is here in the first place, but to find out how he can get his number reduced will continue the journey further. However, many of the car's challenges include listening to others' directions, which does not allow Jesse to say no and is independent. The exchange between MT, Jesse, and Alan Dracula is already different than that of Tlip, Atticus the Corgi, and One-One from Book One, and as a result their challenges have been adapted to their differences and personalities.

Two episodes of The infinity train Book 2 air daily this week on Cartoon Network, starting at 7:30 pm EST.
