The AT fandom is good, but it's still pretty divisive. You've got the people who love the seriousness that came after Season 2, the people who preferred the early goofy stuff before the Lich, the people who loved the romantic stuff with FP, the people who hated the romantic stuff with FP, the people who dropped the show after Rebecca Sugar left, the people who dropped the show after Season 5 and Season 6 suffered from massive fluctuations of quality, the people who ship Bubbline, the people who think Bubbline is non-canon and want no romance impacting the show, the people who are OK with the weird pacing, the people who hate the weird pacing, the people who think there should be more arcs like SU and Gravity Falls, the people who want it to be mostly episodic, etc.

It's mostly episodic anyway, so those people got their wish.

I've kind of lost track with Adventure Time and the episodic nature doesn't really help. I've still never watched Gravity Falls and know nothing about it except it's at a camp or something.

As in they might predate all organic life
Well, Peridot's "space-faring race" comment makes it sound like the Diamonds already had access to spaceflight when the other gems were made, so that would mean Homeworld's empire is over 3.8 billion years old.

Even with gems' indefinitely long lifespans, that seems too old. Rose's rebellion seems to be the first of significance, yet the fact that it could happen at all relied on gems being inherently capable of self-determination. For it to have taken that long to come up seems strange.

I mean consider it compressed to a human timespan. You could say a gems' average lifespan is 1000 times a human's (and I think that's a high estimate), but even then it would be like a human empire going 3.8 million years without a rebellion.

I've still never watch Gravity Falls and know nothing about it accept it's at a camp or something.

I'm part of the AT fandom that probably would like more arcs and actual storytelling. I absolutely love the mythology of the world of Ooo, like my favorite episode for a very long time was I Remember You. So the more episodic random stuff wasn't always my favorite, especially when I didn't always care a ton for the episodes focusing on side characters.

I was also a huge fan of Finnx FP's romance. So you can figure how I felt about the direction that took.

Can't fault anyone for thinking Gravity Falls takes place at a camp when you have limited knowledge of it. But no, it takes place in a fictional town in Oregon, that's home to the supernatural and a bunch of weirdos.

It takes place in a small town in Oregon where weird shit is always happening. It's basically a kid's X Files, but replace aliens with assorted weirdness and they actually resolve plots. You should watch it. Everyone should watch it, actually.

Sounds like the typical problem you run into with long runners to me. With long runners you have a ton of time to reflect on past episodes/ seasons, and people jumping into the show at different points who get different impressions than people who started from the beginning. Everyone has their favorites and they want the next season to be like that, but everyone's favorites are different so nobody agrees on what the show should do.

It seems like the kind of thing I'd be into, I've just never managed to actually get around to it. Though, I'm looking for new things to take up some time so maybe I will soon.

I used to watch Adventure Time, but I stopped and now there's too much to catch up on for me. I don't mind the serious plot/goofy plot nature of the show, but there's such a long gap in between story-arc episodes. SU has that as well, but the writers seem to better at wrapping things up quicker.

There's a much bigger divide with AT. The show is so experimental that you'll have one camp of people who'll loath one episode's existence and another camp defending it to the end. Season 6 went into this weird philosophical phase that the writers characterized as being "heady", and to this day I still find a massive divide over people either loving it or hating it. Didn't help that it led to a massive decline in viewership and CN screwing the show over.

I don't even fucking remember, man. Apparently it's been renewed up to season 9, which is confusing me even more why they rarely air it.

Yet another reason why I don't keep up with the show anymore. It's airing schedule is terrible. At least SU had its Steven Bombs so you'd know when episodes were airing.

And a season 9?

Blame CN for that. They've been messing up the AT and SU airing dates to where even the current AT showrunner is confused.

Like, one time they were supposed to air this one episode, but on the day it was supposed to air, he tweeted that CN was pulling it. Then it aired anyways and he tweeted he had no idea what was even going on anymore.

Advertisements don't help much when you don't have the CN channel to see them on. I knew of Steven Bombs and the Summer of Steven because of the internet. But the fact that it gets advertisements is good at least.

Yeah, I'm familiar with CN's treatments of its shows. I was a big Young Justice fan.

Apparently there's some weird conspiracy now that the new head of CN is trying to screw over AT, SU, and Regular Show because she's some moral guardian or something. I've had to edit the AT and RS trivia pages because they keep repeating that stuff without any proof.

Is it at Edit War levels?

If so have you asked the mods?

[up][up]I really hate when people claim crap like that. Most of the time the channel has nothing against the show itself. I don't know why network ends up treating certain shows like they do, but things work weirdly when it comes tv.

The crew have flat out denied those rumors, and said CN encourages them putting in LGBT characters and themes where they can. They just need plausible deniability in some cases, like Mr. Smiley.

Clarence gets lots of airtime, and one of the main characters on that has two moms. CN is fine with it.

I'm considering calling the mods, but it's just something that I rarely do because I usually keep forgetting to check.
