Adventure Time

I'll likewise give them credit for creativity, but it's still a copout from a concept that actually could have worked the way they set it up. And the rest of the episode wasn't good enough to make up for it.

But it's not over. The implication is (and has been since "Two Swords") that Fern has the Finn copy's memory, but he's actually the demon that animated the Grass Sword. That's why his voice and personality are so different. The Grass Sword demon definitely survived, though the Finn copy is less clear. And I personally thought it was poignant.

Well, I guess they could just consider that storyline finished, but sure as hell hope they don't. Be on the lookout for any episode in the future called "Four [something]".

Fionna was neutral...

Everything else was pretty positive.

Adventure Time's format can be quite rough when it comes to character development .

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

...Marceline, Simon, Bubblegum, and Finn all seemed to be doing fine?

Admittedly it took awhile for Jake but I think that was kind of the point - he expresses as much in Skyhooks Part II when he admits that he's just as terrified of everything going on but he has to hold it together for Finn's sake.

Cloudy is not Skyhooks part ll.

Oh new episodes and stuff

Okay, time to rank the new crop now that I've seen 'em all, Spoilers Ahead:

1. Ketchup (Excellent art-styles, the chemistry between Marcie and BMO was surprisingly touching, and the recap of what happened to Bubblegum and how Prim attacked. Also reminded me a bit of Avatar's "The Ember Island Players" in all the right ways. A+)

2. Abstract (Not as strong as "Ketchup", but I really liked the moral regarding inside and outside. The Wall of Water was cool too. Sure one could decry the anti-climax or missed opportunities, but I think it worked. Did take a while to get started though. A-)

3. Whispers (A solid go-around, but a bit anti-climactic. Still funny to see Finn not so terrified of The Lich, and to see the chemistry between Finn and Fern. B+)

4. Three Buckets (Nice continuation of "Whispers", but very anti-climactic and lazy regarding Fern, who is now very likely gonna be villain. Nice exploration of the robo-arm too. The Stinger was good. C)

5. Fionna and Cake and Fionna (This episode was just so mean spirited, it was essentially just another "disrespect the Ice King" story. What's worse, the premise could've worked. Honestly, I saw an MS-Paint comic on Youtube where Fionna and Cake were real and came out of another dimension that was better than this. F. Worst. Fionna And Cake. Episode. Ever)

Luminous beings are we, not this crude matter

Yeah, pretty much...

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

Lessons about how change isn't necessarily bad are fine, but Finn should have gone straight to PB with Jake.

Never trust anyone who uses "degenerate" as an insult.

Not sure how that would have helepd.

I really enjoyed the Fionna and Cake episode, and I'm really curious as to what it will lead to, what with actual video evidence of them apparently existing and being beamed into Ice King's head.

Much more compelling of a story than just having Fionna show up through a portal for no reason with no set-up or follow-through.

Mostly like nothing, because there are only 18 more episodes left and we already knew the show took place in The Multiverse. The twist was probably supposed to be a capstone for the "Fionna & Cake" episodes, because it's the last one. I guess that scene worked well enough for that purpose, but the rest of the episode was leading up to fake Fionna's real story, then she just runs off.

The story the preview suggested was that there was a "real" Fionna, in the sense there was a girl with that name who dressed like Finn, but much or everything else about Ice King's stories was made up. Her introducing herself by "correcting" Ice King doesn't make much sense when she just starts saying he's right about everything a minute later.

I thought it was going to be a real Fionna, but now there's sort of beam that acts like Simon's TV Dreams?

Didn't see that coming.

"We be we baby!"

The Farmworld universe still exists despite the wish being undone. The Lich wished for the extinction of all life that was undone. Could that mean there's a universe where the Lich is still unalive and rules over a cosmic graveyard, waiting to expand?

Oh, poor Finn.

Never trust anyone who uses "degenerate" as an insult.

I can't believe Finn killed basically himself!

"We be we baby!"

He couldn't do it before, but this time it wasn't even intentional...

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

Which one?

It wasn't intentional last time either.

Which last time are you referring to?

I was referring to Farmworld Ice King Finn...being unable to "take care" of him...

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

When Finn destroyed the Finn sword and thought that killed the Finn inside.

Oh, that.

I didn't really count that...but I guess it works.

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

Remember when Huntress Wizard showed up in Wheels? Remember when they did a close-up on her, hinting at her return? Remember that scene was nothing more than Ship Tease?

Guess who's coming back: http://kingofooo.tumblr.com/post/163463996244

Hooray! Is this close to the finale?

"We be we baby!"

I don't get the Lich Hand. This version of the Lich is only a couple years old yet it acts completely the same as the one trapped inside Sweet P. It shouldn't be able to find the subway Well of Power so easily, and is aware of fighting lots of other versions of Finn. This makes me wonder if the Lich is a Fighting a Shadow situation, and the real thing exist outside the contemporary space-time continuum

Says a lot about the threat the Lich poses that even going under severe Worf Had the Flu due to being a disembodied hand it almost throws Finn into a toxic pool

The Lich wasn't just created by the bomb in Farmworld-verse....he still existed before everything and still had that knowledge.

The version that would've came to be was just delayed by Finn's wish...
