Line #15 Recap/AdventureTimeS6E10SomethingBig


1	Maja invades the Candy Kingdom with an ancient power in order to eliminate the source of good emotion.
2	----
3	!!Tropes:
4	* ADayInTheLimelight: After Maja and Darren are defeated, Finn frees the Ancient Psychic Tandem War Elephant from his servitude and the final part of the episode is about him finding his purpose in life.
5	* AndIMustScream: Maja ends up in a coma, but apparently conscious enough inside her body for the Ancient Psychic Tandem War Elephant to psionically communicate with her.
6	* AnArmAndALeg: The Ancient Psychic Tandem War Elephant blasts Darren's arm off during his DynamicEntry.
7	* ArtEvolution: Maja's eyes are changed in order to give her better expressions.
8	* AttackItsWeakPoint: Finn finishes off Darren by stabbing the brain seed in his head.
9	* BeamOWar: Darren and the War Elephant have one between each other. When Darren is on the verge of winning, Finn intervenes and slays him.
10	* BigDamnHeroes: Right when Maja and Darren have Princess Bubblegum in their clutches, Finn and Jake ride in on their Ancient Psychic Tandem War Elephant and give him the business.
11	* BigDamnMovie: Averted - originally this plot was intended (and set up in the previous season) for an ''Adventure Time'' movie, but it was cut down and made as a normal episode when the movie project was delayed.
12	* BlueAndOrangeMorality: Darren and the War Elephant only understand fighting. The world has changed so much, they feel as if they no longer have a purpose.
13	* CallBack:
14	** Maja's plan from "Sky Witch" unfolds in this episode. The "[[CallBack Something Big]]" she planned was quite...literal.
15	** The Ancient Psychic Tandem War Elephant from "The Limit" returns.
16	* ContinuityNod:
17	** [[Recap/AdventureTimeS1E1SlumberPartyPanic Candy people exploding from fear]] returns from an incredibly long absence.
18	** Princess Bubblegum rides into battle on her laser swan from "Dungeon".
19	** Finn is seen with the steel sword from "Morituri Te Salutamus" and "Still".
20	* DeaderThanDead:
21	** Root Beer Guy's body was completely shattered, with the root beer spilled all over the place. Because of this, he can't be revived by the life sparkles released by Darren, unlike the candy soldiers whose corpses were in relatively good condition.
22	** Darren can inflict this on people, killing them so much that they are erased from all dimensions.
23	* DeathSeeker: Implied with Darren, whose final words were "Thank you" when Finn kills him.
24	* DesperatelyLookingForAPurposeInLife: The war elephant, he proclaims he was made to serve and fight and can't think of doing anything beyond that. Finn sets him free to find his purpose, which he does...[[NiceJobBreakingItHero by helping Maja to recover from her coma]].
25	* EverybodyLives: Subverted. Everybody who was killed by Darren comes back to life. Root Beer Guy, who wasn't killed by Darren, stays dead.
26	* FluffyTheTerrible: The destructive colossus Maja awakens is oddly named Darren.
27	* HeroicSacrifice: Root Beer Guy dies activating the force field to trap Maja and Darren. The episode is dedicated to him.
28	* HumanCannonball: After they run out of cannonballs, Colonel Candy Corn orders his men to load him (and themselves) into the cannon to launch into the thick of battle.
29	* InMemoriam: Spoofed in-universe with a final screen dedicating the episode to Root Beer Guy.
30	* InSeriesNickname: Being old friends, Darren calls the War Elephant "Ellie".
31	* {{Kaiju}}: Maja awakens Darren, a massive tree and rock creature with immense power. His assault on the Candy Kingdom is brutal and one sided until Finn and Jake intervene with the Ancient Psychic Tandem War Elephant.
32	* OmnicidalManiac: Darren agrees to destroy not just the Candy Kingdom, but all realities.
33	* PullingThemselvesTogether: The "Legion of Cadmus" Darren summons consists of humanoid monsters with pink putty-like flesh that can reassemble their bodies after being blown up.
34	* StatusQuoIsGod: According to WordOfGod, [[http://jackpendarvis.blogspot.com/2014/07/big-baby.html Root Beer Guy]] was killed off to explain why the Banana Guards are still useless.
35	* SuddenlyVoiced: [[http://adventuretime.wikia.com/wiki/Gridface_Princess Gridface Princess]] has been seen several times throughout the series, but this episode is the first time she spoke. She provides the force field to trap Maja and Darren.
36	* TankTopTomboy: In a full-blown siege, Princess Bubblegum abandons her usual elaborate clothing for a tank top.
37	* UnspokenPlanGuarantee: While Princess Bubblegum is talking to General Corn, you can see Finn whispering something to Jake in the background and the two sneaking away.
38	* WeUsedToBeFriends: Darren and the Ancient Psychic Tandem War Elephant go way back, but are forced to fight each other.
39	* WorfHadTheFlu: You'd think the Candy Kingdom's giant Gumball Guardians would be the greatest defense against the equally giant Darren, but he disabled them so the Candy Kingdom would be easier to destroy.
