I always thought that Infi-nut was gaslighting zombies into thinking they actually need to break the hologram, and that the hologram being damaged is just there to uphold that illusion.

my headcanon for the lore of infi nut is that the hologram is made to look like a normal nut specifically to trick the zombies so they think they have to wait and eat it but in reality theyre stopping at thin air since theyre so stupid they dont realise theyre not eating

Infi-Nut's lore implies that his fascination with mirrors at a young age has somehow led to his current circumstances. I believe some form of Greek Tragedy-esque incident occurred that displaced his existence in reality. The projecter itself is likely either a fellow plant that decided to serve as a conduit to keep him rooted in reality, or it is the only remnant of his physical self. Both of these methods allow him temporarily return to a semi-physical state, dissipating briefly while the projecter regenerates enough (likely power generated through photosynthesis) to restore his state after being stressed.

The question of which part Infi-nut is supposed to be emits the same energy as figuring out which part of Wobbuffet is the real Pokemon.

I’ve always thought infinut was really underrated. I’ve heard people say that it’s a bad plant, and I’m just thinking how busted the healing is.

The infinut isn't just a good plant, it's outright required in certain worlds' endless modes after a certain point as its the only plant whos boost actually defends against special zombies and environmental issues.

FINALLY. People don’t realize how great of synergy this plant has with like everything. Pausing zombies combined with a spikeweed THAT NEVER DIES along with a NIGH IMPENETRABLE BARRIER makes it the best wall plant for me, even more than primal wall nut.

I think the level where you can’t lose more than 5 plants in big wave beach is impossible without this plant.

Barrel Roller Zombies and Pianist don't 100% destroy Infi-nut, Infi-nut just take huge damage from these zombies and then regenerate afterwards. Also you forgot to mention how it counters Jesters and Hair Metal Gargs. Which makes Infi-nut crucial to stopping shockwaves from Hair Metals.

I always assumed Infi-Nut is a hard-light hologram, a common trope in science fiction that’s basically a tangible solid hologram. Also, I find it ironic that the two best wall-nut variants in 2 are from the distant past and future respectively

Infi-nut is a perfect sidegrade. When used poorly, it is much worse, but when you play to its strengths it offers unique and interesting strategies

Just a little footnote I'd like to add about Chard Guard: It makes for a fantastic combo with Aloe. The healing restored Chard's leaves and Chard's push helps to stall Aloe's healing cooldown. Its a surprisingly effective duo and pretty fun to use, its usually my choice for defense in vanilla

Love the "here's why" series, it gives me a lot to think about when it comes to plants I may have overlooked. I'd love to see a video on iceberg lettuce or shadow peashooter at some point!

I agree about infinut solving many problems that other walls have but I just find primal wallnut more appealing personally. I guess primal is better at shutting down individual zombies while infinut serves a different purpose in slowing zombies to a lesser immediate extent but over a much longer duration of the level to many more groups of zombies. Why are all of the Far Future plants done so well haha not a single uninteresting plant in that world..

The thing about infi-nut is in early stages of the run, you can treat this as premium wall-nut, very convenient

What if Infi-nut is an AI, stored in the projector, and 'transported' into the hologram part when he regenerates?

13:36 "Still, it's a very spammable wall and is efafifavafva for that alone"

I somehow beat the campaign without this plant, because I thought this was just a worse wall nut, and now I’m so confused and impressed on how I survived without this plant

6:32 💀💀💀💀 Alien Language

Infinut was certainly very useful for me before getting Primal Wallnut. Good recharge, ability, and the PF effect is busted.

I think Infi's hologram is not *just* a hologram by definition but also hard light, a sci-fi concept people love to combine because it just makes sense

“Very few zombies actually eat quickly” Proceeds to show a newpaper zombies on the screen.

Do a video on why tiger grass is criminally underrated! Mostly because turkey pult exists and people think its better when in reality they both shine in different situations and tiger grass can be far better in some situations.

Placing infinut in front of an endurian makes the Infinut take hits for the endurian whenever it regenerates. I feel like it’s amazing support for other Reinforcemint plants.

Infinut is great for those "Plan your defense" levels because for 75 sun and some plant food, you can cover all 5 lanes

when i was a kid, i knew nothing about how good plants were or how bad plants were but i only liked infi-nut because i thought he looked cool. coming back years later, cool to know infi-nut is a pretty good plant.

Infi-Nut actually carried me during the short time I played the game for. That wall it has took care of a decent horde of zombies while I waited for that last bit of sun 😃 (Also I hear that Omori ost can't catch me off guard with that.)

This series is so good- I don't actually play PvZ 2 anymore, but seeing you make these extremely cool videos has made me want to go back. Also loving your choice of soundtracks! :D

So loving this series. I love learning about plants more than just seeing gameplay and text.

I have a video series idea for you, you could also cover specific zombies just like how you review specific plants. First video in the series, Zcorp Chair Zombie that rams into stuff. I hate those things

Those discussions videos are very entertaining to watch, I love it! Keep up the good work, you look fantastic.

In the future I’d like to see a video on the Potato Mines (both normal and the primal variant)/Insta Kill plants in general. A video on the Shadow Plants (Moonflower, Nightshade, Dusk Lobber, Shadow Shroom, Grimrose, Shadow Peashooter, Murkadamia Nut, Noctarine, and Gloom Vine) could also be pretty interesting.

It would be interesting if there were walls which countered instant hitting effects. Not all effects but like 1 per wall. Resistance to flames, being crushed, ran over, being moved, ect. Infi-nut still would be unique in the jack of all trades design it has. This gives you more freedom in "Do I counter X zombie or do I stall them and get a different useful plant?" It also makes the Pumpkin less of a straight upgrade to most walls simply by not taking up space and letting you protect yourself from zombies which get various kinds of jumps from straight to the back to even midway.

I've been absolutely loving all of these videos on individual plants from the PVZ games! Its like a lovely personalized retrospective on a variety of topics! And honestly it makes me really really really REALLY want to see a certain selection of plants get talked about in particular. For me personally one of my favorite plants from the games (that I preferred the design of in PvZ1) that I'd love to hear talked about that hasn't had a video made for it yet is the Tangle Kelp! I feel like its such a unique and fun instant plant with a cool design and lots of potential use for countering various aquatic undead and I want to hear what you'd have to say on it!

Discovered your channel recently, i can say i got hooked immediately, great videos!

I appreciate the subtitles on these newer videos, keep up the good work!

I literally don’t even play this game but I just love listening to you talk about it.

Listening to this vid made me feel like English wasn’t my first language

Found out about your channel yesterday. Cannot wait to watch this video.

I love the OMORI Ost you used in the background

“Holograms aren’t edible” I BEG TO DIFFER HOLOGRAPHIC MEATLOAF IS MY FAVORITE

What if zombies are just dumb and think they are eating something real when they arent

1:25 it's a game were plants with eyes fight zombies to protect a crazy time traveler to get a taco sense is the last thing they were thinking about is things making sense.

Johnny reaching 0.01% of its power:

I didn't think infinite was underrated I genuinely thought everyone thought it was good for the 5 lane shield

I quite like the Gum-nut because it's a great stall-ish plant. Just think about it: A level 1 Gum-nut leaves a MAX level wallnut under a zombie (possibly multiple because plant food and/or AOE) plus some more health based on the zombie trapped. It's REALLY good against the football mech that can screw up your symmetry or even a garg because it gets a lot of health from both. I still prefer plants like Endurian cause it pairs well with the Frostweed and any strong melee plant like Bonk Choy or Celery Stalker (or even both heheh) to SHRED even the tankiest zombies and mechs.. Maybe that's why I like playing the cracked version so much: don't really have to care about the expenses.

The hologram in the far future is so advance that it acts like a power ring from Green Lanterns

31K VIEWS IN 5 HOURS, WOW I'm so glad to see your channel going places lol, you deserve it

Would love to see a video on coconut cannon, an extremely overlooked, underrated and interesting plant

I'm using this as an excuse to post my peanut rant I made a few months back. Plants vs Zombies is a series I hold really closely to my heart. I remember my Uncle showing it to me in 2009. I actually remember it was the game he used to teach me to power through tough moments in games. Roof levels scared me and he used that to make me push through and I had a blast. So when the sequel was announced? I was hyped. New worlds, gimmicks, zombies and plants to be added. And after a few updates. We got the peanut. Nuts are the classic go to for walls and defendes and peas are the classic go to for damage. There's only 1 issue. Peanut is fucking awful. Now PvZ 2 has a serious power creep issue with the premium plants. So I'll only be comparing it to other gemiums and world plants. Peanut is a peashooter and walnut smashed into one tile. For the price of a peashooter and wall nut together and to make it worse, at half health its attack power gets halfed as well. In the original game this plant could be decent. But there is absolutely no reason to not use better plants. Things like fume shroom, repeater, boomerang. They all do higher damage for cheaper, then just use one of the superior defense plants. Wall nut is a third of the cost, tall nut has double the health, Infi nut regenerates health. All of them are cheaper and so are the offensive plants that do more damage! Any other offense is better. Even lightning reed with pitiful damage can hit multiple lanes and chain zombies together! The issue for even worse when Lost ages came out. Red Stinger has the same cost and does the damage/Health gimmick way better. In the back of your lawn it does double damage, in the front it does none but has great defense. In the middle it averages out. Far more versatility, with the same cost and faster recharge! Not to mention the endurian! WHICH CAN DAMAGE MULTIPLE ZOMBIES FOR CHEAPER! It's outclassed in its own gimmick. Oh BuT tHoSe CaNt Be PoWeReD bY tOrChWoOd Congratu-fucking-lations, you just put your defensive plant BEHIND A NON DEFENSIVE ONE. Just use pea-pod or repeater for all that. Youll still have to slap a tall nut in front of the torchwood anyway! There is not a single world gimmick or situation where this shines, EVEN IN IT'S HOME WORLD. It was introduced along side the dark ages and is that worlds "gemium" plant. Yet is is highly expensive for a world with limited sun! Not to mention it can't even hit zombies past the gravestones, which is important due to the fact that the dangerous zombies, King Zombie and Wizard zombie are in the back! Oh hey, what about the levels where you have limited choices? This gives defense AND offense, right? Ok sure but uh, you ever fucking notice how they give you BETTER PLANTS. Those last 2 slots are better used for a potato mine so you can build sun, which you would need to do ANYWAY. Peanut is useless in every sense of the word. But some developer at PopCap must of taken pity on all the players who spent 100 gems on this garbage with the addition on mints, each plant was given a class and when their specific mint was played, all plants on the field cause a significant health and damage buff. Peanut was given to reinforce-mint (nuts), not appease-mint (peas). Reinforce-mint is the only mint in the game that activates it's families plant food ability (imagine an ultimate) So Peanut by the grace of being the only plant with a ranged ultimate gets use as actually very useful! or it would if the mints were only available to buy every few months for a large amount of currency you can only get in the multiplayer mode. EVEN THEN THE MINT RECHARGE TIME IS AMONG THE LARGEST IN THE GAME, MOST GAMES YOU CAN ONLY USE IT TWICE, AND BY THAT TIME YOU'VE COMPLETED ALL THE STORY MISSIONS Peanut does nothing special and is outclassed in every way by other plants in damage output, Health, Cost, Recharge or gimmick. It is not even a Jack of all trades master of none, it is garbage in each and every category

it has a name of what will happen when a dude gets past November

I literally I have no idea what I'm doing here, I don't even play or ever have played plants vs zombies, but still watched the whole video

Ah yes something to watch at 6:03 am

Why do I understand what your saying but at the same time I cant.

The projector to normal zombies: "I'm fucking invincible!"

Two walls of infinuts and you’ve won baiscally

Without infi nut plant food, big wave beach would be impossible to beat.

ngl this is an underrated series imo. I would like to see my 2 faves Kermal Pult (I like him in PvZ2 idk y) and Hypnoshroom in "here's why" (always my favourite plant from PvZ1) tbh I would never really see the plant/s potential (unless I like/love how they actually work lol) unless someone made a vid on it xD

these background music choices are _chef’s kiss_

bro i haven't even played pvz in years and i am so entertained by your videos.

I’ve always used the infinut. I thought it was the best wall plant. It’s power up blocks all the lanes, and it regenerates after time. Sure, it’s low HP, and extra sun, but it rarely dies

I always use infinut as a great way to buy me time at the start of a level. I use lettuce as well as infinut to stall the first zombie. With me not needing to worry about him being fully taken off of the field, by the time that the zombie has eaten through the infi-nut I will have some offensive plants down and the infi-nut can easily regenerate on its own quickly to defend against the next wave of attackers. I rarely use any other nuts other than this guy, and as much as primal wall nut is loved by the community for him being able to quickly be put down, I prefer infi-nut always for my personal play style and the fact that he is permanently on the field.

Your videos got me back into relearning the modern PVZ2 after playing on and off essentially once every three years. It's fun to see people's opinions on the current state of the game and/or mod landscape while comparing that with what it once was just under 10 years ago I'm aware of my position as a new viewer who's only started going through your catalogue in the past month, but your enunciation issues being paired with subtitles that are more often than not, paraphrased (i.e writing what you mean rather than what you proper said) makes the video much more distracting than if I had just left you playing on the background and ignored the instinct to process the words you slurred out Thanks a lot for your work, and I apologise for bringing up an accessibility issue in this light 🙏

1:58 my person headcanon is that infi-nut is similar to Goop from Ben 10,where their body actually exists but requires a device to stabilise it(Goop’s ufo and Infi-nut’s hologram projector)

I hope you were referring to Endurian, he’s actually one of my favorite plants and if it wasn’t for Infi-nut’s plant food effect I’d use Endurian a lot more. The tall-nut plus spike weed combo was one of my favorite’s in PvZ1 and combining them into one fruit I think was a brilliant idea

Can't wait for holly barrier, a plant I discovered lately to be busted in fast paced lvls and really good overall, just gets forgotten due to pvz2 balancing tho

Lovin those thumbnails, maybe you could throw in a level backslash as well as solid color. Keep up the good work :)👍

Infi-nut is the small base that the hard light construct eminates from. The ai/plant construct could take any form it wanted but it chooses a walnut

I like to think that Infi-nut is just a plant created in the future MEANT TO ACT as a wall-nut to stop the zombies. The zombies are simply too stupid to realize its not an actual plant, so they eat thru it anyway. The leaves in the projector are an extra detail to hide the fact its a projection. Even if infi-nut looks fairly different to wall-nut, the zombies have little to no brain or thinking capabilities, so they are easily fooled by it. Honestly, its smart if you think about it like this.

Can you talk about your thoughts about stalling in general? They're pretty much OP in 95% of situations yet no mod really addresses the problem (or is there even a problem?).

Don't worry, the zombies are just having a "light" snack

"Is Infinut the hologram or the projector?" Are you the flesh or the blood? Is Kool-Aid Man the jar or the liquid? It is a unity. Infinut is both.

ofc he's literally infinite who wouldn't like him????

The reason zombies eat the infinut is because they are dumb, so see it and stop walking to eat it. (I completely made that up, but it sounds feasible).

I haven’t played Pvz2 since a little after they changed the first version/ui of the game years back when it came out. It’s so weird seeing features I recognized but also the newer ones

great video as always! also about the hologram question for me, the plant it's the disc at the bottom (gmeplay wise, only "smashing" attacks actually destroy the plant, Gargs, barrel zombie) , the hologram istself is just a hologram, probably a touchable one, i don't think he feels pain, i think it's just a representation

Carrot: "reviving plants isn't useful" Infi-nut: "it's ability to revive itself is extremely useful" I still agree with you on both cases but the comparrison still is a bit funny to me xD

The best gaslighting plant ever. Gatekeep, gaslight, plant boss. I love infi-nut so much.

I'd love to see you do a video on Red Stinger. The idea is really cool, having a single plant capable of serving multiple roles depending on where it's placed, but it's defensive forms are just so hilariously bad that the whole idea feels squandered to me.

Fun fact: Using infi-nut in different ROWS and pair with reinforce-mint is op (makes many walls)

Before Primal Wall-Nut and Jurrassic Marsh have ever been released, Infi-Nut has always been my go-to defense plant. Its ability to regenerate health as a wall plant have been a useful tool, especially when it synergizes well with Hurrikale, Spikeweed, Spikerock, Gumnut, Thyme Warp, and Chard Guard. The fact that his force field can neutralized some of the flying zombies and protect other lanes has been a lifesaver for me.

I honestly think that infi-nut would be better in pvz1. The slower gameplay would play into the healing over time effect.

The plant is the projector for sure, if it wasn't than the whole mechanic of regeneration and respawning wouldn't make sense whatsoever

I don't know why I fell down the PvZ rabbithole when I haven't played in years, but I can't stop

Talk about rotobaga or starfruit!..somehow Maybe you can talk about why people think rotobaga is better than starfruit? (Starfruit’s my favorite plant.)

infi nut isnt bad.primal nut is just too good that it outclassed most of the non premium defensive plants

I think the second best wall plant in PvZ2 is the endurian. It can't counter what counters walls, but it will deal with general zombies very well. It deals damage to anything close enough to it and cares not about how many there are. If you have a horde of 5 normal zombies, they will likely make it through, but if you add even a pea shooter, they are probably dead before they can eat it.

Hey, I found your channel recently and I'm really enjoying your content so far. Have you considered making a video explaining PvZ2 mods, making clear which ones you recommend the most and which ones you don't recommend? I noticed you mention mods in your video extremely often, and this makes me a bit lost since I've never touched a single PvZ2 mod in my life. I didn't even know there were other PvZ2 mods that aren't Eclise. Either way, I'm looking forward for the rest of your content, you're doing a really good job.

Infi-nut and primal wallnut are only 2 walls that are useful (beside premium plants)

I have no idea what you are saying

imo Infi-nut is the projector, which uses the holo-nut as a hard light façade to block zombies and just look and act like a plant or sumthin. When I say "hard light", think of Portal's hard light bridges, except nut shaped. The hologram getting eaten would be the projector wasting energy to keep the light hard enough to block zombies as they "eat" it, eventually passing out due to exhaustion.

I love the way he explains everything about infi-nut, this dud need more attention

I love your videos, but... I can't understand you in this one... :(

I'm sorry but if you don't use 5 Moonflower Plant Foods as a Fisher counter then don't speak to me 😤

I love the military pvz tactics. Offensive momentum lol.

I think Infi-nut has the best plant food ability in the game which also probably makes it the best main game plant, although you could argue that Lightning Reed or Dusk Lobber are the strongest ones as once you have 2+ rows of them, they delete anything they encounter.

The main downfall of it is that ALOT of zombies basically have instakills that destroy Infi-Nut's projector aswell. Its best use I would say its the hologram wall with the plant food. Other than that I think infi-nut is around C tier. Its not that its bad, the zombies in PvZ 2 (especially the newer updates) are freaking broken

6:27 Excuse me what language was that 💀

Honestly infi-nut was always a must in my seed-pouch(?). Love the dude

the most rambly and long winded explanation that stated the obvious, well done
