Adventure Time

Hero Heart 1 and 2.

Oh Ice King.

• Wow. Lumpy Space Princess isn't grating on my nerves for once.
• There is so much craziness crashing together in this episode I don't even know where to begin. This is a series finale alright.
• There is so much Nightmare Fuel in this miniseries I don't even know where to begin.
• Betty-trayal.
• Wait... is everything fixed or... Jake is a.... Betty's gone to... what?

Fixed? Nothing's ever fixed in Ooo.

I think Betty died...that's the only explanation for her being sent to "whuh?"

YO. Rules of the Internet 45. Rule 45 is a lie.

I thought Betty went to Mars. Normal Man was there to greet her.

Series finale?

Yeah, but he's holding that thing that's suppose to send her to dead lands.

(2) The possibility that Adventure Time was on it's final season has been stuck in my head for the better part of a month now. But after seeing the end of Elements it's obviously not. Dr. Gross is still out there.

But with all of the characters showing up in this episode - heck I was waiting for a candy version of the sphinx to show up - most everybody seeing some kind of development, or some kind of nod, or seeming to be "at peace" with some aspect of their lives - Betty even seemed to be going all Willy Wonka for a moment (I thought she was going to slowly go as crazy as the Ice King and just accept the situation), Patience re-froze herself, Jake and Finn had some emotional venting to do. With all of that, plus this being the biggest thing to happen since Orgalorg, this certainly felt like it was leading to a finale.

But, no.

On a different note I have finally caught up with all of Adventure Time. That hasn't been the case since Marceline's introduction episode.

Now, whether to rewatch this or get back to Steven Universe...

The show is on its last season. Or at least "Elements" was the finale of its penultimate season—people seem to be redefining the previously established borders between seasons seven, eight, and nine to match how the Cartoon Network site lists them now^How? Previously, it was accepted that season 7 was from "Bonnie and Neddy" to "Reboot" and season 8 was "Two Swords" to a then-unknown point (if it was the end of Elements, seasons 8 and 9 would be equal length). Now season 7 is listed as from "Bonnie and Neddy" to "The Thin Yellow Line, season 8 as from "Broke his Crown" to the end of Islands, and season 9 as "Orb" until whatever the series finale is..

Regardless, there are 23 quarter-hour episodes left.

I would suggest you hold off on rewatching until the show's either over.

So they redid the entirety of the structure for the last three seasons?

This is fucking bullshit.

Have you any dreams you'd like to sell?

The "they" seems to be some internet posters whose only source I can find is the video listing on the Cartoon Network website.

That thing is wrong all the time: At present the listing for Steven Universe is screwed up in a number of ways: it lists the first three seasons as breaking down 52/22/28, when every other source has it as 49/29/24 (or 52/26/24 if want to go off intended airing before three episodes were moved back to season two). And the listing for Gumball is mostly right now, but I remember it being screwed up during its fourth season (even saying two different episodes as "Season 4 - Episode 1").

Looking at Wikipedia, it's reorganized all of the seasons to be how it's presented on Cartoon Network's site. I had figured Seasons 8 and 9 were just gonna be split up like how they split seasons for Steven Universe, We Bare Bears, and Uncle Grandpa, but evidently they just kinda split all of the seasons and now everything feels askew.

Have you any dreams you'd like to sell?

And the guy who moved all the recap pages on TV Tropes (a few days ago) used Wikipedia as his source—which is stupid as hell when official sources were unchanged.

Going by the TV guides, season seven was 38 episodes, while season eight and nine are 46 episode together—we still don't know how they've going to be divided, but they'd be equal length if Elements was the season eight finale.

By the website listing, season seven was 25 episodes, season eight was 27, and season nine is going to be 32 episodes.

If there was a point to this, besides that just being what the site manager found more convenient, I think it was so that each miniseries would be in a separate season.

Well, this doesn't really change anything.

The gap between episodes is still gonna be the same.

YO. Rules of the Internet 45. Rule 45 is a lie.

It's still nonsense to claim "Reboot" was not a season finale—it ended with a hard Cliffhanger, which was resolved months later with an episode that started with a recap of the previous one.

Well, that's all on the shoulders of CN.

Fans and the AT crew would still acknowledge the original order. It's just easier.

Not related to the show itself, but we're getting an Adventure Time/Regular Show comic crossover:

I noticed the Lich is on one of the covers, wonder what role he'll play.

The Lich came back in the comics?

I thought spoilers happened....maybe this isn't canon.

YO. Rules of the Internet 45. Rule 45 is a lie.

Is it really spoilers if the character shows up consistently and had a speaking role in the last miniseries?

I said "in the comics"...events are different there.

YO. Rules of the Internet 45. Rule 45 is a lie.

*14 Normal Man would be a cosmic hypocrite to kill Betty, given he went through the same kind of phase.

Probably, but there's no other reason for her to end up there if not to die...

Maybe she won't, it just makes the most sense...

YO. Rules of the Internet 45. Rule 45 is a lie.

Just because he brought a means to execute her doesn't mean he plans to do so no matter what. Otherwise, wouldn't he have just killed her immediately without talking?

Seeing how his short greeting was saying she really messed up, I don't get anything else from that.

I mean, sure, she might not get executioned...

What if he offers her the 2 options King of Mars offered Magic Man(Jake)...

YO. Rules of the Internet 45. Rule 45 is a lie.

No new Adventure Time episodes makes Soble a dull boy.

Patience, young adventurer.

"We be we baby!"

But she's gone now...
