Hello? Anyone here? How's this for a revision:
- Killed Off for Real: Billy, Kee-oth, Tiffany, Grob Gob Glob Grod, and AMO... for now, as far as we can tell. The show is fond of wacky revival mechanics, so it's impossible to be totally certain. Ghost Princess may also count, as they Ascended to a Higher Plane of Existence and have not appeared since.
I figure we shouldn't include one-off characters; since the show loves revisiting old plot points we shouldn't be confident they won't come back, and if they don't, well, they're minor characters, so it's not very significant.
That example is too heavily disclaimed. I recommend to not add it.
"For a successful technology, reality must take precedence over public relations, for Nature cannot be fooled." - Richard Feynman
I say leave it off until the show finishes. We don't want a list of characters who are "Killed Off For Now And The Natter Points Out This May Be Temporary."

I figure my additional caveat should discourage that, but the necessity of the caveat just goes to show why it's a shakey example. Given the Loads And Loads Of Characters I do think it's valuable to have a list of characters who haven't been revived yet, but we can leave it out if people agree that's for the best.
Should the miniseries "Stakes" have its own page or should its episodes just be put in AT's recap page? Stakes seems like it's going to be big and Regular Show's made-for-TV movie got its own page.
How in the ACTUAL HELL is Lemongrab,Finn,and Jake still alive in the new episode "The Mountain"???? I know that the original Lemongrab and Lemongrab 2 died, and PB made a LG 3, but how is he still alive? PB made LG 3 during original LG's reign, which was THOUSANDS of years ago. I don't get it. could someone explain this to me that's seen either of the Lemonhope episodes and or "The Mountain"?
Does anyone think Adventure Time will ever Win Back the Crowd? Anyone? Anyone at all?

You'd need to lose the crowd to win it back. And as much as you hate it, it hasn't really lost the crowd.

That's cool; thanks for taking the time to make it! Remember that character alignment tropes don't go on the main wiki page, of course.
That was the amazing part. Things just keep going.
This is pretty good! :) But I think the King Worm and Flame Princess should switch places.
Sure Flame Princess is violently emotional and dangerous and her kingdom is full of evil people (or at least her dad is), but she's a bit more Chaotic Neutral than that...
King Worm however brainwashed Finn and Jake into, um... "hugging" him, and then he trapped them in some kind of dream world many seasons later and they had to get out. Although rather minor, he's about as antagonistic as all the other villains like Magic Man or something. :p

I think that on the subpages where examples are sorted in folders by season, we should split the "Season 5" folder into two parts, since that season is twice as long as the other seasons. Part one would contain episodes from "Finn the Human" to "Wizards Only, Fools", and part two would contain everything after that.
Are there any objections?

Okay everyone, I'm gonna do some clean-up on the YMMV page of Adventure Time, a lot of it is way too wordy and/or doesn't make any sense in the context of the show. I will also be rewording some of them to make it more accurate.
Can we please have people adding tropes and details to the new recap pages?
Can we stop with the Lemongrab b'awwwwing? It's starting to get rediculous. (And I just realized it's one guy making all the comments)

There is a question on Lemongrab I have. A different user is putting in a ton of scenes in the Nightmare Fuel, Tear Jerker, and Crowning Moment Of Funny pages. As in, he says he considers the exact same scene nightmare fuel, tear worthy, and hilarious all at the same time. Is that even allowed? Or is someone just trying to push Lemongrab on everyone?
I'm starting to think the latter. (And I'm starting to think that one guy has multiple accounts, they all have identical writing styles)

There is a HUGE section of the Headscratchers page where he's just having a argument with himself (pretending to be different people, even) over Lemongrab. Should we just delete it?
Not to mention the massive section of the Fridge Horror page dedicated to talking about how awful Lemongrab's situation is. Much of it is exactly the same sentiment posted over and over, with frequent bashing of Princess Bubblegum for bonus points. Might want to delete that too.
Can someone please get to deleting all the excess Lemongrab stuff on all the sections, it's about as annoying as the character himself.

Should a note be made of the subversive nature of the show? If nothing else, it is pushing the limits of what's acceptable in what is marketed as and appears to be children's programming. Plus the above average amount of subtext, again in a show marketed towards children.
Hide / Show Replies
Not really subversive. I mean, the show knows it has an adult audience as well as a children's audience. The show is still perfectly acceptable to kids.
I dunno. I wouldn't let kids younger than...11... watch it, if I had kids.
Eh, most of it is pretty silly and harmless. The radar jokes would just go over kids' heads — the only thing that I'd really consider Harmful to Minors would be some of the darker plot twists, which hit even adult viewers like an emotional punch to the gut, and those are only in a few episodes.
Anyone else think that maybe Marceline and the Ice King are actively avoiding each other? They've only once appeared in the same scene together, at the end of Holly Jolly Secrets II, and Marceline decided to stay outside in the snow instead of joining the rest of the cast in the tree fort.
Hide / Show Replies
Probably because a episode where the two interact will be saved for some drama. I mean, both are among the few survivers of the GMW, and such a episode would probably deal with the fact that he was like, her dads best friend or something before the whole "turned into a frosty wizerd" thing. On the other hand, she may simply avoid people with apperently magical artifacts, baecause a immortal like her who has been wandering a for a long time has probably picked up on the fact that people with said magical power-granting artifacts are crazy.
Jeremy Shada confirmed that there will be an episode with Marceline and the Ice King.
The Other Wiki has the description for the season 4 episode "I Remember You" as follows: "The Ice King and Marceline bond over memories." So yes, there probably was a reason that Marceline, at least, was avoiding the Ice King.
You are absolutely right. I kinda suspected somehting like this would happen eventually, but not how it actually did. It even explains why they've been avoiding each other.
Maybe I'm the one who's nuts
Although they aren't avoiding each other so much now. It seems that, now we've got the big dramatic reveal out of the way, they'll be interacting in a lot more episodes.
Why is there so little focus around Flame Princess outside of episodes dedicated to her? It seems like if the episode is not about her we barely get a comment that she exists.

She's a relatively new character, and of course there are those who would like to pretend she doesn't exist...

Can someone please remove the Depraved Homosexual trope from the listed traits for Lemongrab? I'm not going to bother disputing how depraved or homosexual he might or might not be, but either way it's a blatant misuse of the trope as none of his negative attributes associate at all with his ambiguously gay ones.
Okay, I was watching the episode where Finn and Jake are trying to create their own movie. In the first few minutes, when they find out that the movies they were showing were "illegal," Here's the dialogue that I thought was interesting:
Finn: "We've been showing these movies, unauthorized." Jake: "But these movies were before the great mushroom war."
Doesn't "Great Mushroom War," seem like another allusion to that this show is set after atomic Armageddon?

Considering we have pages for both of the comic book adaptations, I'd say yes
Does anybody else want the Rule 63 episode to become a sort of spin-off? or at least have more episodes made that aren't just silly fanfic written by Ice King?
Also is it just me or is anybody else confused to why Fionna is much older than Finn? Same can be assumed for Cake I guess. I know in the twist ending Fionna is made out to be a strange fan girl for Ice king who'd obviously want a women of legal age. But even in the silly art from the Designer she's older.
Hide / Show Replies
Possible Answer- Fionna isn't older than Finn...she looks older because girls hit puberty faster than boys. Possible Answer- She's older because because.
Now let's be nice here...
And yeah - it's probably either that girls hit puberty faster or Ice King made her older so the ending would be less creepy.
Possible reference in "Who Would Win?"? If you recall, when Jake and Finn are fighting 'each other,' at one point Finn literally bites Jake's butt. Jake is voiced by John Di Maggio. John Di Maggio's other very well-known character is Bender from 'Futurama.' Whose catchphrase is, "Bite my shiny metal ass!" Hmm.

Does Lumpy Space Princess come off as a Creator's Pet to anyone else? I mean yeah, Pen trying to sound like a valley girl is funny at first, but that's really all there is to her, it seems like. And then it gets annoying to hear this voice for very long.
She's needlessly put into a lot of episodes, too, and rarely does much. I mean, how many plots would be unaffected if some of her cameos were cut out?

The same can be said for a few of the other princesses in the non incidental roles in episodes. Yeah, she can come off as a Creator's Pet, but from a writing stand point, it's an easy setup for an number of jokes, with a more fleshed out back story than say, Breakfast Princess, to play with.

Marceline is Beauty of the Beauty Brainsand Brawn trio. Yes, she's the Usagi/Bubbles/Mikuru/Belldandy of the series. She is the one who's in to feelings and relationships.
Bubblegum is the one who finds reasons to push her feelings into a corner. PB can play with Finn as a child, but not as an adult. She can wear the gift, but not in public. She has an image to uphold.
So far Finn has been the brawn who's never far from a sword, but if Susan takes a more prominent role, she might become the "Problem? Smash!" person.

Why did Hot Amazon get moved back from YMMV to the main board? I think mileage is VERY IMPORTANT on that one... some of us don't find huge, hulking muscle-women attractive. At all.

Really?
"We call them 'your mileage might vary' because not everyone sees these things in the same way." — an exact quote from the YMMV page topper.
I do not see Susan Strong as a "hot amazon", and I'm sure MANY people would agree with me. So, why doesn't it adhere properly to the YMMV tropes, exactly?
Presumably, it's because the Hot Amazon trope is about a woman who is regarded in-universe - that is, by other characters in the work - as being attractive precisely because she kicks ass. Your personal opinion on the character's attractiveness isn't important to the trope.
That said, unless a character in the show showed some affection for Susan Strong because she kicks ass, she doesn't fit the trope, in which case, you're free to remove it with an edit reason as to why you've done so for good measure.

Edited by SleepySheep
I'm confused by this, particularly the last part:
The show doesn't seem to adhere to All Deaths Final at all? Resurrection is confirmed to be possible and pretty easy as early as the princess plant episode, and multiple characters (Tree Trunks, Jake, Prismo, and Root Beer Guy, just off the top of my head) have been brought back from death or death-like situations. It's actually practically impossible to confirm any character as Killed Off for Real in this show, given how fond it is of wacky revival mechanics.
I'm also not sure what Cookie the list is referring to? Princess Cookie never died. Also, Glob should probably be added to this list, as they're a major recurring character.
