Season seven got good again. Season five was a decline and season six was the "bad season" (still a ton of great eps though).

Basically Adventure Time got hijacked by shipping, forced feels, and weak serialized plots until Steven Universe stole that shitty sector of the fanbase away by specializing in those things and then the show got good again by returning to character driven adventure comedy.

At that point, I felt the writers just gave up.

Finn's meteor mom. At least SU attempted to set up how Steven was the product of Lesbian Space Rocks. That and the whole implied apocalyptic future that didn't go anywhere.

Finn's dad being a terrible person was actually a highlight for me. That and how he gracefully fucks off the plot once before overstaying his welcome
>>
When they introduced flame princess.
>>
Right after escape from the citadel. Finn lost his arm, found his Dad, "killed" the Lich, and it seemed like we were getting a shit ton of lore.
Then Finn's arm grew back, now Citadel was never mentioned again, and Finn's dad disappeared.
It's like AT only bothers with lore 'sometimes' and that 'sometime' will almost certainly return the show to the status quo.

Kinda sucks that the stuff during time gap (Marcy and Simon, the abomination of sentient candy that would eventually produce PB, and generally all of Marciline's adventures over the centuries (like her battling vampires and shit, defending the remnants of humanity over the years) all happened long before Finn was born.

I'd prefer to follow Farm World Finn at this point, at least it didn't seem like that AU was stuck in a status quo.

I think it stopped being good towards the end of season 4, so I Remember You is the boundary for me. It's not a bad episode itself but it was the wrong direction for the show to try to take. Marceline and Ice King's characters were immediately ruined -- death-by-sympathy. After that they couldn't be fun because the writers were tiptoeing around them.

The Flame Princess arc was part of it too but that took about a season for that to nuclear. As has been said the decision to kill that relationship rather than work with it was a strong indication of the writers' inability to stick to a story. Plus gratuitous emotional abuse of Finn, which ruined his personality for ever.

When they spent like 3 seasons playing around with shipping (including every ridiculous permutation of FinnxPB just to finally definitively prove it could not work) and then never actually concluded it, leaving literally dozens of hanging threads in the form of potential partners who were introduced once and never heard from again.

And then they keep bringing it back every few episodes as one-off flings which always end in failure for no particular reason. The next one they're pretty much going to have to just have him say 'nah sorry SpookySmokeDuchess I can't give you the D because status quo'.

There is never any single moment where a cartoon stops being good. Perhaps to the viewer, there is a moment of realization when it dawns to them that the show isn't what it used to be, but this is a subjective experience. In reality there are long, uneven declines in quality without clear endpoints

Finn losing his arm had been the single most foreshadowed thing in the show and the one thing everyone assumed would JUST HAVE TO actually stick, in some form. Instead it's back to Status Quo (plus a tiny invisible spike in his palm and the grass-sword) within a few episodes. And both of those get lost later on as well.

>>85531421
It wusses out on a huge plot point and Finn gets molested but it's still his fault.

oh i got the grass-sword continuity messed up. whatever, the point is, Breezy poofing his arm back was the end of any hope for real continuity in the show.

The sad part is the writers defend the invisible thorn bullshit as real continuity even though it's a bare shadow of what should've happened. They have no clue what it means to stick with something.

Giving her too much credit. She did work on the episode where the arm thing was first thought up but was off the show by the time the show really started foreshadowing it and doing the thing where every alternate Finn had a missing/prosthetic arm.
>>
>>85526154
It didn't "fall apart" it just progressively got less consistent with good episodes. A show isn't completely ruined by a series of poor episodes if it can come back to being mediocre or decent. That's not "falling apart". You're exaggerating and over-dramatizing, but you're an OP so I guess that's in your programming.

Classic AT died right before FP was introduced, but was still pretty consistently good up until pretty much season 5 where the overall quality dropped and we started getting episodes that were shittier than anyone could have ever possibly imagined.

Breezy killed a huge part of the show because it showed that even when the writers would hype shit up and commit crazy changes, like cutting off the protagonists goddamn arm, they could and would just set everything back to normal when they felt like it. Though there were lots of signs of this before, Breezy really was the nail in the coffin just due to the extent of the bullshit they pulled.

Even so, show isn't as bad as people claim and season 7 is downright pretty good. It's just that the earlier seasons were so much better and the show's made fuck up after fuck up that people are rightfully on guard about it.
>>
Frost & fire was when it started
The Orgalorg arc was when it was cemented, the writers/producers/execs are unable or just don't want to commit to anything for more than 3 episodes, every single trace of plot or world-building that the show had was resolved by turning it all back to the beginning and forgotten, after so many seasons I got tired and left

I'm pretty sure it started out as just "man wouldn't it be cool if like, every alternate Finn had a funky arm dude?" and then they got the bright idea to make it happen to FinnPrime but they didn't give it anywhere near the attention it deserved.

Now I guess the thorn bullshit will amount to something during the last episode of the show, Yippee for that I guess.

Didn't pop out during Stakes even though the vampires were "bad." It also didn't fuck up that ancient ice bitch that came outta nowhere either.

I actually kind of liked that episode and Finn's bout of depression. It was how they handled the aftermath of Flame Princess's character that I wasn't a huge fan of.

They could have continued to expand on the conflict and/or relationship between Finn and FP, but instead she just ended up getting less and less screen-time after his awkward apology. Felt more like an adherence to the status quo than a progressive development.

People actually really liked Finn x PB. As more ships were introduced however and the show moved away from it, popularity died down and shipping war bullshit gained traction. If the show went back to smooshing Finn and PB together and gravitated towards romance you can bet your bottom dollar /co/ would be behind it again.

Yes, that would have been a horrible idea for so many reasons. It was pretty cute though.
>>
>>85538041
>instead she just ended up getting less and less screen-time
Yeah that was the point. To get rid of her. I could've accepted Finn and FP breaking up, but it was done in one episode like that because they didn't even want to bother to give them a realistic conflict to break up over. nah it had to be Finn suddenly losing his mind because MEN AMIRITE?

actually even the original short wasn't that good, especially after it became a meme

>>85538127
loli PB was a boring generic child character, but what if she grew up with Finn in real time? that would've been fine. they could explore the reemergence of all her shady leanings as she once again grew into the gum with the iron fist. by then Finn would be an 18 year old with years of love and affection under his belt. a stronger happier person.

Honestly anything story-related in AT would work if done GRADUALLY. All the potential is wasted because they can't do anything but rush.

That's lame, speaking as a gay guy myself it's pretty unfair that CN will only address one part of the gay community but not the other.

When I saw that tweet from Matt Burnett talking about how wanting male gems was just people wanting some hyper-masculine fantasy, that shit irked me.

That does kind of suck but SU has kind of made an alien race of lady goddesses and stuff so having full on male versions show up would kind of throw off that aesthetic.

In terms of recent male gays there were those dudes in Clarence (who I think were confirmed as gay?) and the couple in the Loud House.

>>85539352
From what I've seen a lot more of those ladies are gay than what you would expect. They probably really relate to Bubbline and it draws them to the show, that's why so many people only care about the pair, they relate to it and shit.
>>
>>85539352

How the fuck does that work?
>>
>>85539367

I think it's just a result of some of the CN writers being snarky cunts and not knowing when to shut it. Burnett's a perfect example.
>>
>>85539179
But that isn't an opinion, it's idiotic speculation
>>
>>85539335
They don't make gay male pairings on cartoons because of the stark differences in public acceptance compared to lesbians. Even straight people on average, conservatives included are more willing to view or enjoy lesbians than a pair of men.

But personally I'd rather it be written right than forced, which is often what happens with tokenism - forced.
>>
>>85539507

Well then Korra and SU and AT are pretty much just saying this:

>we wanna promote breaking down prejudice of gay relationships but not actually have to go to any effort to do so.

What the fuck.
>>
>>85539572
That's literally half of it. It is much, much easier to make a Lesbian romance than a Gay one. TLH actually has a pair of gay parents and it's written to not be the centerpiece. To be honest I actually enjoy that than every show you watched that includes homosexual inclusion.
>>
>>85539507
Oh that's bullshit and you know it, there are way more male gays in the actual mainstream media. You only think lesbians are comparitively more accepted because you hang around places where lesbians are shown as a way to pander to horny young men.
>>
>>85539572
Basically. They're capitalizing on what's already mostly acceptable. At least SU developed a full mythos to surround its gay-pandering core.
>>
>>85539624
Homosexual, gay romances in cartoons is what we are talking about you dolt.
>>
>>85539648
>>85539624
Even then gay romances are shown at a lesser rate than lesbians. Gay characters on the other hand I can't say, but the actual event of romance between men isn't as common place.
>>
>>85539507

Men like lesbians because it's two girls making out.
Women like lesbians because they see the love as purer without a male.
Both fetishism them, just in different ways.
>>
>>85539624
Aren't gay guys still used for comedy?
>>
>>85539690

>Women like lesbians because they see the love as purer without a male.

You act like the vast majority of women hold the same values as that moron who wrote the Vagina Monologues.

when they got rid of Flame Princess in favor of spooky owl dreams that went nowhere.

I found the season premiere with the alternate world Finn to be pretty disappointing, since it just ended with Jake fixing everything with Prismo. The follow-up episodes for these plots were nice, though.

Gay male characters are easy to insert because there are strong stereotypes about how a gay man acts. He can just walk around bein gay and it's entertaining to your average chucklefuck.

Or his gayness can be a substitute for a personality.
>>
>>85539964

Good to know that lesbians get award winning television shows and gay guys get 30 second cameos on subpar shows.
>>
>>85539964
Of course, I'm not saying gay characters show up at a less rate than lesbian ones. In fact, I'd say gays show up somewhat more than lesbians. But I am talking about the romances and how one is more displayed than the other. This is especially prevalent in cartoons, of which we have almost no instances of gay male romances except for a single reference to a boyfriend with no actual romance, and The Loud House. I can't remember so please do let me know if I did.

Also as an add on to this guy, gay guys are often used more as the butt of the joke. They are also used as the funny friend or coworker. The Office, The Killing Joke, How to Train your Dragon, Southpark. The list goes on at how ill visuals of male romances actually happen compared to the stereotyping of roles for gay men.
>>
>>85540026
It'll change eventually. I mean shit look at how violently dudes react to SU and Steven being too "gay" for a main character. Lot of insecurity to get rid of.

So, thank SU for trying to tell the little boys it's ok to be sensitive. One day this will bear fruit.
>>
>>85540117

That's not even it, the SU writers seem to try so hard to push this "masculinity is bad!!!" shit and it just comes off as lame and forced.

That episode where he wore a dress and makeup wasn't empowering or a social breakthrough, that shit just made me cringe. Almost like they were portraying Steven as a STEREOTYPE of a gay guy then anything else.

Can't we just have one fucking show where we see what it's like for gay men and their struggles and relationships instead of this stupid "oh well lesbians are hot and cute lets make it about them!!!!" shit? Fuck me.

I don't think it's saying masculinity is bad? It just goes out of its way to have different types of male characters, to say it's ok to not fit into that narrow box.

>Can't we just have one fucking show where we see what it's like for gay men

>>85539731

They like to think they do. And most lesbian relationships in things pander to them.
>>
>>85540356

Then that would imply that most women are ball-breaking misandrists, which I don't think is the case at all.
>>
Started declining in S4, then went to shit.
>>
>>85540296
There is nothing SJW-y in Adventure Time other than devaluing Finn in favor of GURL POWER. But I honestly think they do that to flatter girls via the medium of television.
>>
>>85540354

Sorry, got a bit worked up there. Just tired of seeing people who claim to stand for LGBT but will only bother to stand for one letter.

The movie Weekend was amazingly good at portraying a legitimate gay male relationship, not any stupid shit about magic or whatever. It't not for kids, however.
>>
>>85540395

They don't have to be one extreme or another. Most aren't. They usually aren't the extreme that really lives and defends this shit, but they like the concept enough that they like to watch the cartoon girls hold hands.
>>

Tumblr is a safe haven for people who take things to far; whether ideologies or social sciences. For regular people the spectrum is much different, much more rational in thought.

>>85540588

no i mean the statement that gay shippings dont get any attention is BS
>>
>>85540607
Of course, I agree with you. Was more related to why you see some people who are radical and why some aren't. I'm sure you knew that already though.
>>
>>85540643

for the record, it probably says a lot about your faith in women if you have to dedicate most of your funding and time into "empowering" them

im not saying that women are insecure but if you need a holiday to remind everyone that you're a worthwhile person that probably says a bit about your self-esteem then anything else
>>
>>85540756
Bleh, didn't even know there was a holiday, that's crazy.

Someone impersonated him on /co/ and pretended he was posting his last comment when Jesse left Adventure Time. Lots of people were sad but he did do a lot of stupid shit. He also had a hand in some good episodes, but bad resonates more than good.

It's not that it stopped being good, it's that it we caught on to the lul random dialog that stops being funny once you've figured it out. Mix in a few weak episodes here and there and you've realized people held the show on a higher pedestal than it could reach.

I still like the show though. I really enjoy the lore and grass sword shit.
>>
>>85526154
In my opinion, the show stopped being funny and/or engaging from Frost & Fire onwards, at least up until Season 7.

Seasons 5.2 and 6 were a waste of my time.

Fortunately, Steven Universe and Gravity Falls were solid substitutes before the latter ended on it's own terms.

You mean how they broke up three years ago? Or her appearances in season 7 not being enough for you. She isn't a main character. Or the literally 3 episodes where the cosmic owl's dream are the basis for the plot?
>>
>>85540815
No, he's cool. S6 was a bit too much with the phylosophical shit but he really delivered with S7. Also I'll never be thankful to him enough for finally making a Huntress Wizard episode (despite not personally liking the romance in it).

It's not even a specific storyboard artist issue, I think. It's more of a head-writing issue.

>fell apart.
That's not how the show works. It doesn't just fall apart. There are just periods where episode quality noticeable declines. It is around 5.2 and 6 where it is subpar. Season 7 is easily redeeming. Check the fucking archives we have this thread pretty much every week.

>>85544808
So the three episodes that try to be philosophical but fall flat represent the enitre season 6?
