You know what would be a twist? If they disregarded the end of the previous season and they just shrugs it with, "eh, a wizard did it."
Well, about the end of the last season
SpoilerWell a wizard did do it. Most of the ITs in that ending were done via wizard
I'm upset that it was only 15 minutes rather than a half hour *hrmpf*
So there seems to be quite a bit of Kings in this season. Fight King is my favorite. Marceline's boyfriend Ash, at least in his disguise makes me think of the Exiles from Homestuck
After seeing this clip, I'm really looking forward to the Fionna/Cake episode. If Adventure Time does ever get canceled, they can just re-pitch it as with female main characters. I am really not looking forward to Jake's gender swapped character. I think it's the voice. I'm a huge fan of Bender from Futurama so I love the fact his voice actor is Jake, and who ever they got for Cake just doesn't sound like Jake's female version.
Adventure Time is excellent.
Most upbeat post apocalyptic Earth I can think of.
I have to confess, I didn't realize the show was post apocalyptic until I read the TV tropes page. I never thought to think all this high-tech stuff and nuclear waste had a purpose. I thought it was just random stuff thrown into the background. I mean, there are anthropomorphic candy people. Should I over-think this stuff?
In this setting, there could be mushroom people. It can be interpreted many ways.
Yeah, but still, there is some dark comedy in the series so I just thought "Eh, nuclear waste, whatever." Take the balloons in one episode who exclaim joy when they learn they can finally float up to the stratosphere and die. Explain that.Quote:
And I'm not saying to overthink it, but Adventure Time has a lot more subtext than most kids shows.
Uh... it's hell being a balloon? Seriously think about it, you can't really control where you go in a moderate wind, you have no way of interacting with anything, your only purpose is to float and be towed around places, you can pretty die anywhere outside a house. I'd be a little suicidal if I were sentient in that situation.
Also, the Mushroom War also involved the return of magic, so there's that.
Dr. Epic, you should find a nice piece of fanart to top this strip.
Post Apocalypse Earth = Adventure Time is one of those 'And now I cannot unsee it'. There's ruins of modern cities in a lot of places. But everything's so happy about it.
Personal theory is that Ooo shares a border with Equestria.
I think Ooo is just Fantasia from the Neverending Story. After the third movie, I think people just stopped caring and the writers realized no matter how stupid they make it, it can't get worse than this.
Yeah.
Mushroom war was bad, but hey. No one was left who could remember how it had happened, at least, no-one who would do anything.
Or so Dr. Wily believed.
Marceline, some business men in ice. Maybe a few others outside the afterlife and the nightosphere. But it's been a long time since, long enough for baseline humanity to nearly go extinct, wars to be fought, and a lot of other stuff went down.
The present is pretty sweet. There's a cure for death.
WHAT!?!?!? They changed PB back into an adult? What was the point of even making her a child then?
I can't be sure, but I think it had something to do with the voice actresses. The original voice actress wanted to quit, so they planned to change PB and get a new voice actress. But the the original VA signed back on, so here we are. Or at least I think that might be it. At least it makes sense.
And even if it wasn't for any VA issues, it still did have an in-show purpose. The entire thing showed Finn that it could work. Now that she's five years older than him again, it won't be easy, but he has to be persistant. He might have to defeat a demon lord and warp through several worlds. But once he does, he can walk up the wizard stairs and produce his magic key he got in the water world and unlock the chamber door. Then he can walk up to the princess and give her a smooch.
I kinda felt sorry for Pepperint Butler this whole episode... Spice in the eye, licked by Lemongrab... He just couldn't get a break this episode...
But he's also adorable! He's one of my favorite characters. Sure, he may not get as much spotlight as many of the others, but he's still awesome.
And he was entitled to eat their flesh! They had a deal!
I will admit that I have missed the new season of AT so far, though the fact that this has appeared, fills me with joy...
Wait, does this mean if Princess Bubblegum gets cut in half, there could be two 13 year old princesses walking around? Finn could potentially be dating twins! All he has to do is brutally massacre the love of his life.:smallwink:
Nah, it would be two nine year old PBs if she was cut perfectly in half and they didn't put her back together.
So I just got into this show via a friend's recommendation. Almost done with the first season now. This show is a quality program.
On one hand, the gender swapped episode looks awesome (Grey Delisle!), but if the personalities of the characters change simply due to them now being women/men, someone could cry "unfortunate implications", which I'm not looking forward to.
Additionally I'm mad at myself for missing the new season three episodes. I can't believe myself, I literally have nothing better to do on mondays and I'm missing Adventure Time due to sheer forgetfulness!
Also,
Spoilerwhy is Prince Gumball eighteen? shouldn't he be, y'know...younger? Or did Fionna not fight the Lich in this universe?
Heh...
SpoilerIf you'd been watching the episodes, you'd know that... (seriously, spoiler alert)
SpoilerPrincess Bubblegum re-ages up. Or you could've gathered enough from the thread itself which said as much unspoilered.
I'm disappointed that they re-aged Princess Bubblegum. 13-year-old her was so friggin' adorable, and it was nice seeing her and Finn actually having fun and stuff... for all of one episode. Now she's back to being condescending.
I always thought the "wizard stairs" was a metaphor like Jesse Moynihan (who storyboarded that episode) said.
Since we've already seen at least one leaked storyboard that reveals that, yes, Finn will be aging over the course of the show, the wizard stairs could simply be - you know, growing up.
Doesn't Princess Bubblegum have to die in the first place before they have to put her back together? I mean, I doubt she'd get younger if you took a bit of her hair off.
I doubt death in the candy kingdom is nothing more than a minor inconvenience. She died once and was brought back wasn't she? Not to mention one of the first episodes of the series involved zombie candy people.
Also, is anyone else excited about Fionna and Cake?:smallbiggrin:
I'm excited for Fionna and Cake, especially given the hilarious spoilers I've gotten off /co/.
Also, If I remember correctly, dying for Princess Bubblegum might be a bit more of an inconvenience than for most of her subjects, since she's (according to the creators) half-human. The other half of course is radioactive bubblegum.
I find it hilarious that they did an episode essentially tipping their hat to all the gender-bent fanart out there turning Finn and Jake female -- Fionna and Cake. It was even better because EVERYBODY was gender-bent. I think my favorite was Lord Monochromicorn.
I don't know what creeped me out more about that episode, that the ice king writes fanfiction about his own universe or that he ships finn/ice king...
fionna/ice king, at the very end.
It's like the writers said "Stupid internet nerds! You can't write fanfics about Adventure Time! We already did that and got it on TV!":smalltongue::smallwink:
The Ice King is creepy...
everyone in the show is creepy you can't go an episode in the series without someone doing something to make you want to scream and run from them as fast as you can or at least back away from them.
Well, he is not a normal candy person by any means. I mean, lets see, he is friends with Death, knows how to go into the underworld, and hisses at a lich possesed Princess Bubblegum. Hisses. Sprouts fangs and everything. I would say he is a vampire, but then he would bubble up in the sun. No, he is something worse.Quote:
Doesn't matter. Guy's still weird for wanting someone's skin. Plus, he knew the grim reaper. I think Peppermint is just a demon in disguise.
And how do you know that all peppermint people aren't like that? It's starting to sound like you're racist against peppermint or something...
What I don't get is how come they're taking a break for a few weeks after the gender switched episode? What the math? I need my fix man!:smallwink:
Also, after seeing the gender switched episode, would anyone like to see an alignment switched episode? Maybe it's just because the Linear Guild is back, but wouldn't you like to see anti-paladin Finn dressed all in black and Lawful Good Ice King?:smallbiggrin:
Well, we already had the Nice King.
God, he looked creepy without a beard.
Nah, the Lich is/was (I think he's still alive in that snail or something) probably the creepiest thing on the show next to the guardian angel.*
The Lich's only reaction to Finn putting a sweater through his eye sockets was maniacal laughter, and then there's the fact that he has a skull with torn off skin where his lips should be, I never got how that worked.
*In my opinion :smallredface:
At least I'll still have the not-as-good-but-still-funny Regular Show to watch.
As ruler of the Dayosquare?Quote:
But he was still Evil. He just lied about being good which made him even more evil.
Come on! I want to see Marceline's Dad as all Lawful Good.
Oh, there is a fan-theory out on the net that I find rather interesting.
It states that the reason that MF and the Businessmen ( and by extention Marceline), are what could best be discribed as proto-goblins, or in other terms humans who are a generation or so removed from normal humans to the point that they are a different species,one that did not last long evidently. Which could mean one of two things, realy.
One is that humans where already mutating before the war, which would have interesting implications with the mere existance of Finn.
The other is that magic is the cause of the existance of Marceline and such, and that the GMW was fought with magical weapons that left the very few survivers of the varying bombs where changed to the point they where not human anymore. Some became very powerful ( in the case of MD) or went utterly insane ( the lich). The mutents and zombies and such are the decendents of those who where effected by the fallout and, with the help of the power of magic, adapted to the newfound crazyness of the world that would be later called Ooo.
As for the fish people that look far more like humans, my personal guess is that they where probably the decendents of people who went underground before the bombs struck, and eventualy mutated into what they are now due to both radiation leaking in and magic screwing things up.
On the other hand, the varying blueish humanoids that exist, such as the Ice king and Billy, are very much related to each other and are the closest decendents of the varying survivers of the bombs, which would explain why they are all at least adults with at least a few years on the average inhabitant of Ooo( and in the case of the ice king about 600 years, and who knows how old Billy is!)
