Discovery owns it now and the head cheese is destroying anything he can as a flex and to make more garbage like 90 Day Fianc which is cheap to make and people eat it up sadly

But like, what good does it do getting rid of stuff from your platform? It's not like there's a limit to how many shows you're allowed to have!

what the other guy said. but also, maybe brand recognition/simplification

if your target audience is children, you might not want "being john malkovich" to be featured. if you want to be an X-rated brand, you might not put sesame street on there, even if you own the rights

or, if your channel is targeted towards reality TV... fans... anything that's not reality TV might confuse your intended audience

Missed that there was a seperate topic.

Infinity Train Book 1 and 2 are the only seasons on DVD. All the new copies are sold out on Amazon since this news, but the used copy sellers haven't realized what's happening yet and you can still get it for a decent price if you hurry. It's rising fast, though.

Infinity Train is one of the best modern cartoons, and it's an absolute tragedy that it's inconsistent release has resulted in it not garnering the same popularity as the likes of other big cartoon releases of the last decade.

Of course there are advantages to that, as some content in later seasons would have never been allowed on a popular network as opposed to a streaming exclusive.

Not at all. The show is a masterpiece.

It's an absolute shame that 3 hasn't hit DVD yet because it's the best one, and I don't know if this will effect its release.

I've been pushed by this to finally watch Kipo. I think it's my only blind spot.

I also picked up Over the Garden Wall and what's been physically released of She-ra, S1-3, not pushing my luck. No idea why that hasn't been released past that yet.

Done ages ago. Guess this means no season 3 and 4 sets? That's irritating.

Infinity Train is one of the best animated shows I've seen, and is a kid's show strictly in style only and features some of the most straight up terrifying scenes I've ever seen in an animated show

Season 4 is the weakest of them but it's still great. Seasons 1-3 are masterpieces though

Maybe one day it can get a really fantastic set like Adventure Time or Gravity falls, but something tells me we aren't going to see that for any of the modern big hitters like Infinity Train, Amphibia, She-ra, or The Owl House anytime soon.

It's the downside of a streaming focused era, even when you want the good release there's just not a lot of push from the people in charge to make one. Even Bojack hasn't been collected past season 2, and even that is a niche exclusive from Shout Factory.

Agreed, it's 2> 3 > 1 > 4 for me, but all are excellent. A lot of gut reactions when S2 came back were dissapointment that it was an anthology, but it was absolutely the right decision.

No way, it's very strong! I could see Season 3 ahead of it depending on the mood, but that's it. I love the relationship in that season, and it's critical tie to the first.

Kipo is also excellent and honestly only gets better as it goes

Not quite on the level of Infinity Train but not far off either

Another great cartoon that gets ignored in these conversations a lot because of the aesthetic is Final Space. A gut reaction to screenshots makes people think it's a Seth McF show or something, but not only is it nothing close it's also, frankly, spectacular, and when actually watching the show the visuals are great. Can't recommend it enough. Think Futurama with an overarching plot, except the comedy and serious narrative ratio is flipped.

The show is already cancelled sadly and I can't imagine it doesn't get chopped. With only 2 of 3 seasons released physically, this one could be lost soon too.

3 > 1 > 2, but they're all fantastic. S4, Close Enough, and Distant Lands were the biggest temptations for me to pull the trigger on getting HBO Max. Now if two of the three are going away there's no way in hell I'm going to support that platform ever. I feel like the third will get the boot before long too. This is devastating...

Yeah this is definitely not something being done lightly, and you can erase all hope of future physical releases for this stuff. All mentions in any way shape or form to Infinity Train and the other shows on this list have been wiped from all WB sites including their YouTube channel. It is a complete scorched earth. If they're not going to be selling these IPs then anything not already on other services, like OHKO on Hulu for example, is about to become lost media from a legal standpoint.

Honestly based on the actual combined numbers, assuming they do decide to keep the branding as Discovery, that's...a legitimate actual possibility for the subscriber loss overall.

Absolutely, absolutely. This is what discourages creatives to see larger scale projects come to fruition. It's the death of imagination.
