History Headscratchers / AdventureTime

* If the giant chunk missing out of Ooo was caused by the Mushroom War, why didn't the Lich Bomb cause similar destruction when it went off in Jake the Dog?

** Finn has the robe again in "Mortal Folly" when he goes to challenge the Lich, according to an animatic, he still has his powers too. Though he may have just gone back and got new powers in preparation to battle the UltimateEvil Lich.

*** PB didn't recognize Ash's name on the receipt. Do you really think that someone like Marceline is going to be so open that she'll tell someone about her former BastardBoyfriend unless she absolutely has to.

** Because "I'm a 1003 years old" doesn't sound as good. Or maybe its a similar reasoning to ExtyYearsFromNow

* Why are people asking questions about a show involving a talking dog that stretches his arms?
** Because we're MATHEMATICAL!
** Because the series ''does'' [[MagicAIsMagicA follow logic]], and a magic dog that can stretch is not an inherent violation of logic. Duh.

* Why do people think that "BMO Lost" is a ComingOutStory? Wouldn't that require either B-MO or Bubble to deny being "gay", or at least act in a way that implies that they don't wish to be? I'm pretty sure at any point you could've asked one of them and they would have confirmed that, yes, they do love the other.
** People like to project real world issues onto this show. Just look at the fans that declare Lemongrabs to be an autistic gay couple "abused" by their "mother", Marceline/Bubblegum shipping, and Princess Cookie relating to transgenderism. Some just take things way too seriously and create elaborate Fanon out of the slightest thing in this show for, I guess, some validation. This one makes even less sense than those since [[NoBiologicalSex BMO has no gender]] (it freely refers to itself as male or female) and, therefore, can't possibly be gay or straight.
** I wholly agree with this, other than the Marceline/Bubblegum thing. Not to get too far off track, but there's a checkered history there, and it's pretty visible in both "What Was Missing" and "Sky Witch", bolstered by the chemistry between the two. However, the rest seems incredibly off-base. The Lemongrabs aren't lovers as much as they are brothers and partners, in (sort-of) the same way as the Lutece twins in [[Videogame/BioShockInfinite Bioshock Infinite]]. But I digress. BMO is neither male, nor female. In "BMO Lost", it's likely that a) BMO was personally defaulting to female for the situation, or b) Is a robot, and does not have a given sexuality. Despite the [[Creator/LeVarBurton masculine voice]], it ''also'' stands to reason that Bubble does not have a designated sexuality, either, as Bubble is sexless. On top of that, it's worth noting that BMO is voiced by Niki Yang, who is a (female) storyboard artist for the show. The Adventure Time wiki has this to say:
-->As a robot, BMO's gender alternates depending on who is speaking or what make-believe scenario BMO is playing out. Other characters will frequently refer to BMO using pronouns belonging to both genders. For instance, in "Conquest of Cuteness" Finn calls BMO "M'lady." In "Rainy Day Daydream," he refers to BMO using "he." In "Guardians of Sunshine," Sleepy Sam uses "he" when talking about BMO. Jake has also called BMO a "he" in "Return to the Nightosphere."

* Where the hell did anyone get the idea the Lemongrabs ''weren't'' brothers? They were created by the same person, with the exact same DNA, and they even look the exact same! There was nothing ever implying they were anything but brothers!
** Because in today's fandoms it's not allowed for two males to have a close, loving relationship without it being sexual in nature. Especially if anything ambiguous about their relationship can be construed towards that result.
** Also, in the [[http://images.wikia.com/adventuretimewithfinnandjake/images/5/5c/Tumblr_mr8be3QP5J1rwtssmo1_500.png promo art]] for Too Old, the Lemongrabs are passionately making out in the background.
*** Those are not the Lemongrabs, they're just Lemon people. The fact that they both appear to be skinny and standing upright proves that.

*** If you look at the imagery in the dream it includes elements from future episodes that hadn't been aired at the time such as the penguin monster later seen in "Reign of of the Gunthers." This implies that the dream is visionary in nature depicting glimpses of things that have yet to happen. Other elements of the dream scape such as flame princess who Fin hadn't yet met in "Evicted" could just be further visions of things to come if this episode does in fact pick up where evicted ended. From a logical stand point there really is no way to determine if King Worm picks up where "Evicted" ended or its a completely different incident where King Worm has returned.

** The Lich's wish was more of a time-relative wish. It was a wish to get rid of all life, so his wish would include himself, since the wisher is automatically teleported to their new timeline, and and all the life that existed at the time during his wish minus the life in time room(and the Cosmic Owl?). The wish Jake made was person-relative not time-relative. Also, The Lich his wish was focusing on was his Lich, not any other Lich existing in any other time frame in any version of any world. If that makes any sense. Plus, his wish did not technically rewrite time, it reversed it by reversing his wish.

** It's implied that Bubblegum wasn't aware that Hambo was stolen in the first place; she just knew Marceline was looking for it and that it was important to her. Moreover, she didn't seem to understand ''why'' Hambo was so important to Marceline until she encountered Maja herself (which was why Marceline had to lie to Bubblegum to get the princess to help her out in the first place). There was basically no way for Bubblegum to enact any sort of law if she wasn't aware that a crime had already taken place, so she did what she thought she had to to get Hambo back for Marceline.

** He has depression and teenage boy hormones. The writer for Breezy said that whatever he had with LSP, was the climax of the the first thing. And he's still pretty heroic, just having more issues. You would too if you were the last teenager after an apocalypse.

** Finn was completely off his game this entire episode, barely able to acknowledge the situation beyond his desperate attempts to use PB as a rebound relationship. He's never been rational when matters of love are involved, so it makes sense that a messy breakup with Flame Princess could severely screw him up for a while. As for PB, one can only assume that she still considers Lemongrab to the the official ruler of the Earldom despite devolving from mostly harmless mental illness to completely insane tyranny and stayed focused on bringing Lemonhope to a better place. The writers will probably (and hopefully) address the issue of what Lemongrab's become in a later episode. This one, for better or worse, seemed more concerned with putting Finn's crush on Bubblegum to bed.

** Alternatively, because he [[GettingCrapPastTheRadar didn't have a headache.]]

*** But then they couldn't [[GettingCrapPastTheRadar get as much by their censor if they used subtitles.]] They keep it up in foreign translations even if Lady doesn't necessarily speak in Korean. It's very much a defining character trait...And it's probably one of the less bizarre things in the show.

* Marceline is half-demon. Demons [[GettingCrapPastTheRadar poop bananas.]] Does Marceline poop bananas?
