"And what the heck is with this show and trying to make PB morally ambiguous? Why in the world is this necessary?"
How about it's to show that Ooo isn't all sunshine and rainbows? It's a land built on the radiated remains of an Earth nuked in a war.
"Finn loses his arm?: Boom. It grows...back? Wtf? This had so much subtle Foreshadowing and they just drop it"
Uh, they didn't. Finn lost his arm. Is there any indication that he couldn't get it back? Some other versions of them got their arm back, and he would have had a replacement anyway.
"Fear demon is sliced in half with Grass Sword rather than making Finn conquer his fear himself"
He did conquer the fear himself. That's why the sword cut it. What did you expect? That he beats it with his bare hands? You do know that the Grass Sword basically WAS Finn at the time?
"Plus, how did the Lich just wake up for no reason?"
He was asleep because there was no life to kill. And now there's life to kill. I mean, really.

-Everything turns back to normal and doesn't leave a meaningful impact on the characters.
"How about it's to show that Ooo isn't all sunshine and rainbows? It's a land built on the radiated remains of an Earth nuked in a war."
-I agree. But they don't follow up on this at all. It's just...there...
"Uh, they didn't. Finn lost his arm. Is there any indication that he couldn't get it back? Some other versions of them got their arm back, and he would have had a replacement anyway."
- From what I heard, he got it through some Deus ex Machina. I would have honestly preferred him to get a replacement similar to Farmworld Finn since that was what they were subtly foreshadowing for three seasons.
"He did conquer the fear himself. That's why the sword cut it. What did you expect? That he beats it with his bare hands? You do know that the Grass Sword basically WAS Finn at the time?"
- Thank you for clarifying this. I will drop this argument.
"He was asleep because there was no life to kill. And now there's life to kill. I mean, really."
- Umm what?

My two cents on the current state of the series....
I can't exactly share my thoughts since its been a while since I watched this series. But basing my opinions on the two recent episodes I saw...
Man, this show degraded in quality.
My current opinion of this show is that its kinda boring to watch, mostly because the comedy got a lot weaker in later seasons. Seriously, compare Season 1's comedy to Season 6's. And I'm sick and tired of them claiming [1]. All of you know what I am talking about here. (Selfies with the Lich? Really?)
Princess Bubblegum is a child: Boom. Adult again.
Jake has kids: Boom. Somehow get older than him.
Finn loses his arm?: Boom. It grows...back? Wtf? This had so much subtle Foreshadowing and they just drop it as if its a copy of [2].
And what the heck is with this show and trying to make PB morally ambiguous? Why in the world is this necessary? A huge example is "Rattleballs". And this isn't going to get addressed anytime soon so....what the hell? What is the point? And to add insult to injury, almost everyone became a Jerk in this series such as LSP (yes, LSP), PB (of course), and Finn.
And why in the world does this show deem it necessary to resolve plot points all the way in Season 1 (Example: Fear deamon in "Ocean of Fear") and resolve them in an unsatisfying way (Example: Fear demon is sliced in half with Grass Sword rather than making Finn conquer his fear himself....ummm...why?)
Now to bring up a few episodes:
"Puhoy"
A chance to explore Finn's mind is turned into a pillow dream that serves no purpose or develops his character. What was the point of this?
"Too Old"
To be honest. I thought this episode was ok. But I agree that turning Lemongrab into an unsympathetic asshole is a terrible idea. Plus, the Finn and PB relationship should have been resolve all the way back in Season...i dunno...3?
"First episode of Season 6 (forgot name)"
The comedy really fell flat in this episode. That's why watching this episode was kinda boring. Plus, how did the Lich just wake up for no reason?
Don't get me wrong, the show still has good plots and ideas in my opinion and is still better than most of the crap in CN. But its starting to forget what made it one of my favorite cartoons to watch.
