Is this show worth continuing? I never saw an episode in my entire life until 2 days ago. I decided to watch the first 2 episodes. The show is so fucking weird and unappealing that I'm debating dropping it after only 2 episodes. Is it worth trying to push through it, does it get better?

>>88367097
Seasons 1 and 2 are the best

Cracks started to show in 3

>>88367106
What's the appeal exactly? I saw 2 episodes and don't get it yet. I don't mind that there's no story and the world makes no sense, what really annoys me so far is that it's not funny. I didn't find a single joke funny yet.

>>88367126
if you don't think it's funny now you probably won't like it ever

>>88367097
It starts out as a quirky, madcap comedy, then delves so far into its own lore that the humor is left on the sidelines. Whether or not you'll want to stick around for that depends. I personally found a lot of the later episodes interesting, but this is the general consensus on /co/ right now >>88367106 wistful for the old days where you could watch a stand alone episode and chuckle at its lolrandom style without the characters facing an existential crisis.

I wonder what /co/ will think of the overall show in the future. Not immediately after it ends. It'll no doubt face the same post-finale backlash as Gravity Falls, where people claim it was never even a decent show to begin with. I mean years down the line in the middle of another dark age of tv animation.

>>88367097
Push through it. That's just how a lot of modern cartoons are for some reason. They start off really off-putting and dumb then get gradually more complex and intelligent. Steven Universe, Star vs, etc.

Can anyone explain to me why CN sucks so badly at putting out their shows on a reasonable schedule? Has it always been this way?

Don't they have an entire fucking channel? There's more than one time slot in a day

>>88367576
We traded Johnny Test for TTG. I remember Johnny Test being on for a lot of the day too. Another reason may be that TTGO sells more merchandise than we actually think and are outperforming SU and Gumball stuff.

Come on, I know it's the new contrarian thing act as if overhyped shows are awful, but don't pretend it took the same dramatic of decline in quality that Spongebob did. Besides, both shows have gone on for nearly the same amount of seasons.

>>88367658
Unlike Spongebob, Adventure time was never good.

>>88367097
Maybe watch a handful of more episodes. If it none of the jokes work for you at all, just forget it. There's a quite a few outliers but it may not be worth it for you to investigate which episodes those are if the core humor just falls flat.

>>88367219
/co/ shits on everything eventually so it's sort of a pointless thing to wonder about.

>>88367671
Hol up now, fag don't try to say AT was never good. I agree with >>88367658 the show may have fallen from the limelight, but it never got anywhere NEAR Season 6 Spongebob bad. Only the worst of the worst like Frost and Fire, Red Throne and Breezy got that low.

>>88368339
Q1 2017. Likely January since the Islands DVD is listed to come out in the same month.

>>88366779
Regular Show is still suffering leagues beyond AT. I like both, and through the years I've noticed they sometimes jump ahead of one another on the subject of the network treating them like dirt, but for awhile AT because an icon (up until maybe half a year after TTG came out) on the network and RS slunk down to hardly nothing being mentioned. Eventually both lost reruns, lost advertisement, and the RS crew felt so bad about it they assumed they were getting canned any minute so they had to end it. AT gets 2 more seasons (+1 over RS) so it still has time to be noticed. Meanwhile RS is about to show its series finale and it's not being talked about at all and they won't give it a dignity shot with any kind of marathon, they won't even rerun the plot heavy episodes from this season for anyone not caught up.

>>88367621
3. Friday Saturday and Sunday. Then the following next Sunday. This is of course if you mean marathon wise.

>>88369081
My favorite part of the 2016 saga was when Regular Show aired 25 episodes in 3 weeks because it needed to get off the air asap for TTG.

-Would fight all kinds of evil, and sometimes even win despite the odds.

>>88367274
Don't compare Star Vs with the "duh lore" garbage people praise the everloving shit out of.

The early seasons, when it was an actual Adventure Show, were good.

However the later Seasons turned into shipper drama BS. Right around the time they made Marceline lesbian and had a whole arc with Bubblegum about it

>>88370619
I think it's the same problem Steven Universe is experiencing now.

The fandom/tumblir community latched onto certain aspects and the writers are aware of it and are pandering. However, it's backfiring in the long run because general audiences are tuning out.

>>88370733
All shipping shit aside, she shoulda never built him up in the first place, especially near the end of Too Young. No ramifications about making him go through withdrawal and essentially, possibly creating all the relationship problems he's had ever since.

>>88370159
Even if they did kill off Jake he'd be bought back an episode or two later. ATs biggest fault was failing to deliver on its promises

>>88367832
When you had younger Finn presented with a crisis, he always managed to get through it by being idealistic, even romantic, and always determined to beat the bad guy, win the girl, and live happily ever after. Was he bothered by being the last human alive? Absolutely, but all of his friends encouraged him to not worry about the things he can't change, and instead focus on the good he's doing now. That lesson was carried over when he helped cure the greatest hero alive out of his depression, and that's what made Finn a strong character: He used his moments of crises and the lessons he learned from them to properly help others in the world around him.

What was unnecessary was him suddenly becoming completely angsty as he got older, because now you're removing the single character that represents hope and romanticism from the franchise. Dad is a total loser? Screw him, I've proven myself to be a good person, and I don't need his approval to know I'm a good person. Lost my arm? Don't care, at least now I get to replace it with something cool. Relationships aren't working out? Doesn't matter, because I'm still an important person in this world, and I still have people who love me.

The show had the potential to help young ones understand that even in magical worlds where anything can happen, some of that anything can be bad, and rather than letting the bad define us we can always focus on the positive, and become stronger over it. Instead it's encouraging people to make AMVs with Linkin Park like we're perpetually stuck in the 2000s and making kids think it's okay to be massive edgelords.

Do you think his relationship with PB and FP are fully mended, or did they try and slap some story together to make the illusion of "progress" (I do get the feeling with PB still.)

Also, do ya think Finn will ever branch off from Jake and do his own thing. Siblings often do so, but it seems like he won't get out of that bubble crafted for him? What i'm really saying is will Finn become independent.

Remeber Korra when they either aried it without advertisement somewhen late or at the end only via stream. No shit ratings drop if you put it more and more out of a watchable time for kids.
>Hurr AT is doing bad at ratings
Well perhaps it would do better if you would show it more then once a month a new episode so the large group of todays short memory kids remember that this is a thing and want to watch it

>>88367097
I liked season 1-5, but it slowly goes more and more off the rails until season 6 when it just completely loses track of itself, season 7 has been nice though.

>>88371137
Finn won't become independent without the writers doing something "tragic" like, as someone else in the thread said, killing off Jake, or banishing him to some alternative dimension. The show lost any possibility of making a decent transition for Finn to accept that he won't be a kid forever by prematurely making him go full-"angery" as well as making hackneyed drama.

None of the writers properly understand how to generate a "coming-of-age". If they had half a brain around the middle of season three they would have realized that Finn's final quest should be a parallel to his first real quest, which was to get the Enchiridion, only this time making it a sort of Holy Grail / Dante's Inferno in the spiritual sense. Have Billy's spirit act like Virgil and guide Finn in his final year. Have Jake and Finn argue over being pragmatic and being idealistic. Have Finn, for the first time (if the writers hadn't fucked everything up) genuinely doubt himself while being all alone. Have everyone believe that the "magical item" Finn and Jake fight to get to save the world is a real thing, when the reality is that it's just a personal experience that puts to the test everything Finn has been taught to see what he really believes. There is no danger for the whole material world, but the danger is Finn's perspective of the world, and that is the journey that he's sent on for the final season.

However, this can no longer be done without being forced by the writers because of the unnecessary drama they've thrown into the franchise throughout the years. Anything Finn can experience now will seem like a terribly-written episode of Dawson's Creek, because the writers have turned Adventure Time into their own fanfiction wankfest like so many popular cartoons become. Don't expect anything to really be resolved in AT; it will be like every other cartoon, just another forced ending that will require you to view it with rose-tinted glasses and re-write it with your own headcanon.

my headcanon's pretty fucking dead though. I thought, as he hit those later years in his life, he'd open an "Adventurer's Academy" of some sorts to train up and coming youth to defend and protect the citizens of Ooo once he passed on. yeah I know it's shit

Also, is it just me or when Finn started to become more angst-y, his fighting (and idealistic) characteristics seem to have gone down the tube? I can't for the life of me remember the last time he's curb stomped some bad guy in a battle.

A friend of mines said "The danger in that is that the show isn't meant to be some kind of autobiographical therapy wank, Finn should be his own character, not a box for them to put anecdotes in." and I think that rings true to this day.

Normally im all about artistic freedom. But CN shouldve had more control so the writers didnt make it into an artsy fuckfest. I dropped it around the time finn meet his father then nothing happend. I remember really being insulted when FP left and fucked a cinnabon, and the bigbad who was legitimately frightening for a kids show was turned into a fucking giant baby. If any show deserves a reboot with actual competant writers, its adventure time.

Is it really? Because I had never even knew it existed until I saw it in /co/.

>>88373277
You don't have to like a character as a person to be entertained by them.

>>88373578
To be fair, it was pretty popular five years ago.

>>88373490
I've seen many many many different people say they thought the show ended years ago. On youtube comments, the CN's site's comments, people on here, the leddit and Tumblr, almost all of them I went to specifically to see how the show was holding up in different factions of the social ladder.

A good few of them were because they dropped it and never heard of it again, but the majority said they missed a few episodes but really liked the show, but reruns ceasing to exist and no promotions for a fuck ton of episodes had them forget. Not just teens saying that either, actual kids like in the youtube comments, asking if the show was being "brought back". It's pretty fucking aggravating people truly believed it "came back" because CN is just that fucking horrible at showing it, promoting it, and merchandising it.

If it is forgotten within 1-3 years, it will be the network's fault. I know many people have dropped it since it started, but those people are still likely to remember the first few seasons at least, until they just stop thinking about it; they just stop seeing it on the network or online because the online people who would be talking about it forgot because they're the ones watching TV.

>>88373660
To me, "potential SpongeBob" entails both popularity and quality.

It did have popularity, but not near the same degree.

It never had quality

>>88373594
It's memorable for people who are 90s kids, mainly. The music, the atmosphere, and their personalities hit home with viewers who were born in the 80s or were first-world poor in the 90s which is what allowed it to stick so long despite the space shit. That, and creating a 30-minute episode solely devoted to every entry-level anime that aired in the US in the late 90s / 00s sucked in all the weeaboos halfway through its run.

It's memorable for the past five years, but not THE GREATEST thing CN has produced.

>>88369081
It really is a shame. Especially since these shows are responsible for why the network got so popular again

Generally because the first season is trying to get traction and the second season has the strongest mix of initial ideas and storycrafting. Season three is usually when the idea fountain starts to run a little dry or they switch to different writers/producers/etc

Although I'd say season three of South Park is when it really took off for me

>>88366779
Honestly the show didn't do that much wrong other than airing long enough to have people lose interest.

Even with all the flaws there were from changing the tone as the show went on, that was probably a good decision in the end as far as popularity goes. Had the show stayed being about Finn and Jake fighting some bad guy and rescuing some lady instead of evolving I'm sure most of the fans would have gotten tired of it, and that wasn't what the writers wanted to do so they wouldn't be as enthusiastic anymore and soon after that their work would get shittier.

AT's biggest flaw is in fact that it didn't go in this direction hard enough since they didn't wanna leave their wacky adventure comfort zone. Gotta go hard or go home, them half assing it mostly led to everyone getting pissed off in some way and now only the diehards are left.

Even so AT is gonna be remembered for a while, and the way it practically saved CN cartoon-wise is something I'll always appreciate.

>They shouldn't feel bad. CN has been more than fair to them to keep it going this long. It's well past its prime.
Yea any show who has 4+ seasons should feel grateful, but it's pretty shitty to have the looming thought your show could be canned any minute and the higher ups won't help you out on it.

JG asked CN to let them know when the time was coming, and while no one knows what they said in response, it can be assumed they said sure. But with the show being taken off the network for a few years straight, the merchandise run being so bad you notice yourself (which creators in this day and age usually aren't even aware of to an extent) and make a half hour special to try to make light of it, and while other shows are getting shorts and movie specials, you get told you can do them but it takes the slots out of the current season, it makes it look like you're really just not wanted.

Regular Show is certainly not wanted anymore, and it's a shame JG couldn't be happy while working on Season 6 and 7, because he felt like they were going to fuck him over more and more until the game was over.

I don't discount the stress he must be under, but the cancellation axe is constantly hovering over every tv show. That's the norm. Spongebob is one of the exceptions. Hell, I would count Regular Show as one. I would rather reserve my sympathies for shows that were strangled in their cribs than ones that got 3 more seasons than they needed.

Every season CN funded after RS began to wane, was money that could have gone into developing new shows with fresh ideas.

They've been doing this forever and stopped me from watching cartoons for a while. It REALLY got me annoyed because there wasn't a single show that didn't fall victim to this. I'm pretty sure it has to do with wanting the female audience, since they apparently like that stuff.

They have reason to believe that starting new franchises is more beneficial, regardless of fan following.
Think about it.
Steven universe, relatively new. Blew up. The moment it starts going under they'll probably cut it off and Rebecca sugar will do something else. Most likely with even more lesbians and personified innanimate objects.
That one with the bears, blew up, at least for a while. >looks like we gotta start a new one again, get them veiwership spikes, amirite fellow producers??
See what I mean. At least until they hit gold again, I'm pretty sure they'll stick with this trend. Fandoms make-or-break a show, and kids are moving through trends faster than I can dab. Go ahead and quote me on that, anon.
I honestly think that's part of the reason adventure time has lasted as long as it has; it appealed to a wide verity of ages, and was still enjoyable even when you got older. Prove me wrong?

I haven't seen The Visitor in a long time but I'm thinking that big robot in the water was from the story Martin was telling Finn about his time as a baby on the seas. It works just well with the humans on an island story, plus the fact this is a whole miniseries on the seas too just like that story.

Because PB and Marcy apparently have an episode (or more) to themselves in a Finn centered miniseries.

Gotta push Finn out the picture to have them come close together. Matter of fact, that's been a trend as of late even during Stakes.

>>88378609

>>88366779
Honestly. As much reverence as i still have for the show. It did kickstart another golden age of television animation. I'm glad it's ending.

It's been a weird, flawed, disappointing, but still ultimately fun ride. Even if it ends rather disappointingly, the journey was still worth it.

>>88366779
The ratings dropped as low as 770,000. Also CN and Disney Channel are the only networks that know when a show should end.

>>88378683
Those ratings were entirely CN being retarded. The show came back after like a 4 month hiatus, was airing at a different time on a different day, and they showed virtually no commercials for it. I'm impressed it got as many views as it did.

>>88378725
it aired in the shadows of the fucking muppet movie with one "coming up next, a new adventure time" bumper

>>88378683

Nah, not Disney. Their animation department was messed up for a quite a while.

Anything not called Phineas and Ferb was killed. Emperors New School and Replacements just got erased from existence and nothing else came out for like 5 years until Gravity Falls and Wander over Yonder, and even those barely outlasted P&F.

Well, yes and no.

Sweet Pea (the baby he turned into) is still around and acts innocent enough, but The Lich did manifest itself for a short period in order to protect SP. He's still there, just waiting for the right time, like he did in Prismos room.

>>88379283
I'm pretty sure there was some mention of the movie still being worked on at some point the past few months but I can't be sure.

At any rate if they need a plot for the movie defeating the Lich once and for all is a pretty easy one to go for, so I consider it a valid possibility.

>>88379625
Having kids vote for which character is the best. Of course, the sponge himself won.

I literally just dropped the show when the bee made Finn regrow his arm back.

That was the moment when I understood this shit will never change the status quo and my time was lost. Then I saw the one or two episodes where Ice King is back to his old self and his girlfriend travels to be with him or some bullshit and holy fuck I'm glad I stopped caring.

When this show started, I loved seasons 1 and 2, and liked some more lore from season 3, because it was a fresh thing, but looking back - worst idea they ever had, since they never could really do anything meaningful, but also it was hard to go back to the relaxing style of the first two seasons. Killed the Adventure aspect.

>>88379724
On the bright side, the upcoming Islands miniseries is adventure-themed, and it's confirmed that Finn will lose his arm again.

>>88379724
This is valid but there's still other stuff to enjoy in the show. Plus Finn finally did get that new arm, unless they pull a fast one again after Islands.

Because people think if they built off their pre Season 3 personalities, they'd be vastly superior characters than what they are today. Feels more like they write the two as lesbians to fill a quota and to "validate" themselves and their kin. Getting brownie points and pats on the back rather than making characters stand out on their own.

When people look back on AT, they'll recognize them as "the lesbians" paramount to any other description.

>PB doesn't even care about Finn

I understand why the creator left, when obviously no one wanted to make fun stuff after a while and he saw what hole they were digging themselves into.

>>88380383
I always took that episode to be saying that Finn's only gonna be happy with a regular girl who isn't a princess or wizard or something like that. Finn just doesn't mesh with those people and all his romantic turmoil has been because he's been barking up the wrong tree.

Probably not intentional but I like that theory, makes sense to me. Kid's doomed if he stays on his current path.

>>88379969
>What we need is more Pajama War and Bun Bun episodes to mend the rift he has with PB
The writers have been trying, but they are failing miserably. Its just really awkward now. When PB and Finn were flying on her swan he tried making conversation and she just kind of ignored him the whole way. Or the time when he had his arm around her and she slapped it off.
Really embarrassing and doesn't look like they are trying to repair their relationship at all. More like they are trying to destroy it permanently.

It's freaking Ooo dude, there's gotta be tons of regular girls who would be chomping at the bit for a cool hero boyfriend who's saved the world like five times. Finn just has to go out there and find one of em.

Who knows, maybe there will be some human cutie in Islands or some shit.

>>88380470
I mean there WAS Pajama War which mended the rifts pretty significantly, but after that was a pretty downhill slope.

It's like Somvilay and Seo Kim are open to the idea of them being close platonic friends, but since a good portion of the other writers either A) dislike Finn or B) have a boner for Bubbline they're vehemently opposed to them having shared sceeentime without any sort of tension between the two.

Who the fuck would honestly put that hand slap scene in there besides someone who wants PB and Marcy to let out?

>>88380616
Also, remember that scene in "Don't Look" where Finn turned into a nasty characture of Martin. Jake rounded up some of the people that have been near and dear to him over the years (Minus FP and Marcy because fuck that amirite) to try to cheer him up. PB said: "He may not be the most cunning of soldiers, but one thing about him is that he puts other people first. And that makes him a true hero."

This results in him turning into a knight for a second before going back to his Martin self. Which leads me to believe that he didn't take her words at full value.

>>88377884
aww, I would have liked it if Marceline and Bubblegum got to do something too instead of totally sitting this one out. i really liked the whole gang working together in Stakes and would have liked it here too.

then again had Marcy and PB come I'm sure they would have been annoyingly glued to the hip like in Stakes so this is probably the better result. let them scissor offscreen and all that.

>>88380840
They're gonna let out in the episode dedicated to themselves while grass sword Finn watches and tries to deduce what the shit is going on.

>>88377884
Very disappointed they didn't give Finn a cool outfit for the miniseries like Marceline got for hers but I guess that's to be expected

Someone please shoop the JUST hair on the CN logo.

This used to be my favorite network on TV. The late 90s and early 00s was golden for this channel.. then it went to the bottom of the barrel fast. They came back a bit with AT, RS and SU but they're now ending two of those with nothing to replace them.

I've never seen a channel go down so fast as Cartoon Network did.

I think the show starting getting bad right around the dad episodes where Finn finds his "dad". Shit just got weirder and the plot stopped clicking. There were no longer overarching plots or anything remotely continued. It just made every episode it's own and that was a bit retarded, because they don't do it well.

Are you on drugs? The show excels with stand alone episodes, and struggles with overarching plots. Season 6 was the most narrative driven season of the lot.

>>88382062
It was certainly good but I'd disagree mai man. Took a while to really get going (I think it only started getting good after that first bomb episode in January) and there were some clunkers in it, like Broke His Crown and a few others I thought were clunkers. Didn't have the greatest ending either.

Was certainly good though, I'd probably put it on the same level as season 4.

>>88382704
Even the best AT seasons have duds. People just remember the season 7 duds more clearly because it's fresh.

I'm gonna miss the desolate feeling that surrounded Finn's character with him being the last human in such an alien world, but I guess that hasn't been present for a few years now considering all the half humans they added into the series.

I certainly hope they do interesting stuff with this though, because adding a whole colony of humans really alters the show's setting.

>>88385678
I miss that perky, enthusiastic attitude that he always had that put a smile on your face. Maybe it was due to his VA being younger along with him.

It really did have nice juxtaposition with the ruined world he was frolicking in. I loved how it was even hinted that it was a bit of an act and if he actually thought about that kind of stuff he would start to feel bad about it.

He's grown up and lost a lot of that innocence but even in the latest episode it's not all gone.

I liked how in preboot he wasn't terrified or disgusted with Dr. Gross's modifications. I liked that his face lit up in aw instead. If she didn't drug him he probably would have been down for some cybernetic enhancements.

Maybe I just got older but I feel like this show completely fucking tanked around when Flame Princess got introduced. It went from a fun, weird show that was always interesting and was reminiscent of classic RPGs to some faggy tumblr drama with "muh dramatic overarching plot that you wouldnt expect in a kids show".

>>88385985

This is a big part of it. They did so good early on with setting up that it was obvious that he was either coping with a facade, or was actually shellshocked into being naive as a defense mechanism, but after the arc with his dad that pretty much dried up.

They tend to do that with a lot of the characterizations.

PB was great as this kind of reverse-sociopath who's only concern was the greater good and keeping the gears moving, no matter the cost or how she had to manipulate it, but they broke down a lot of that cold-but-knowing-matriarch in favor of softening her up for homoerotic shipping

>>88387176

It went from solid to hit-or-miss.

It does have some solid ideas at least since then (albeit with varying degrees of success in execution.)

The storylines involving Jake's past and his kids have been pretty good at throwing us back to his nature as the kind of manchild who's had the world thrust on him and he just shirked all responsibility.

Ice King went from kind of waffling as a bad guy but maybe good guy deep inside back into the isolationist and shown even a bit of his depravity, which has been nice.

And all of the BMO centered stories are great in the "childhood self-discovery" vein.

But the rest of the show proper- particularly Finn's storylines- have kind of fallen apart.

>>88387204
I still think the way they handled Finn hasn't been that bad but PB has been pretty clumsy at best.

It's still so dumb how the show built her up as someone who was so concerned with protecting her kingdom by any means possible but then another character yelled at her a bit and now she's totally nice and boring. Dumb as hell.

Last episode of the show my man. In the meantime you'll have to subsist on fanart.

Aside from the ponytail (which I admire for doing something interesting with Finn's hair but can't get behind because it looks weird) this one may be my favorite.

>>88387669
Because they fucked it up to begin with. It's always the lack of planning ahead with AT.

'member when they got someone to make a Finn/FP graphic novel and it came out just before Finn's sadism boner broke them up? That shit should have been in the real show itself.

>>88387825
Oh jesus I wish I could forget about Playing With Fire forever. Such a shit show. I feel so bad for FP that the best thing involving her wasn't even the actual damn show. I wish her trying to be a hero could have happened in canon.

The show starts out really silly and nonsensical, and changes as Finn ages. It starts to get really emotional and relationship drama-y around season 4-5, but then gets really toned down and philosophical and existential, and often extremely experimental. Most people on /co/ don't like this change. I mean, I'm not surprised, it can get very avant garde these days and the people here who liked the show when it started probably aren't into that sort of thing for the most part.

If that sounds like your cup of tea go for it. It does get less focused on the humor and randomness of season 1 and 2, but it always stays weird and surreal.

With how things work in real life, it would probably end up being less like Adventure Time and more like The Last Man On Earth.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Last_Man_on_Earth_(TV_series)

>>88370971
It's almost like a show about childhood and growing up, has a main character who's grown up and changed from his childishness.

Finn had endless energy and optimism and hope in early seasons. Then, when he entered his early/mid teens, the world got more serious around him, and things fell apart for him in a major way.

He's forced to question his identity, find himself, an important part of growing up. He explores himself and the world around him in a new way, and is developing.

And in all fairness, he's not super angsty. He was briefly there for a while, and he's certainly a lot more low energy now, but that mostly manifests as being very chill and calm, and tries to let go of things that bother him.

>Dad is a total loser? Screw him, I've proven myself to be a good person, and I don't need his approval to know I'm a good person.
That is literally where that arc went, and what Finn decided

>Lost my arm? Don't care, at least now I get to replace it with something cool.
He tried replacing it with prosthetics, and he got grass arm pretty quick.

>Relationships aren't working out? Doesn't matter, because I'm still an important person in this world, and I still have people who love me.
This is true, he's reached a point where he's not dying not being in a relationship, and he's comfortable being single for now, but he still wants romance to be a part of his life and isn't going to just give up in that area because of one or two bad experiences. He's gonna keep trying.

I don't remember much about the show but I do remember the instant, the 3 seconds that I realized it was all going to hell.

It's the one episode that opens with Finn crying over a picture and whining. I was like "fuck this better not be a recurring theme" but goddamn it, they couldn't stop themselves.

>>88377884

This, Puhoy is fucking incredible, and there has not been a better episode of any show to come out on cartoon network since.

>>88382062
Season 5 has the most good episodes. Not necessarily the highest average quality per episode, but the most truly great stuff out of any season.

It seems like such a missed opportunity that they got rid of Finn's fear of the ocean ages ago for no real reason and now he's actually going on an adventure across the seas. Would have been a very interesting dynamic, and they could have had Finn gradually be not afraid of it like halfway through the miniseries.

The show's gotten experimental, which means sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't.

Yeah there are some bad eggs, but we also have episodes like Puhoy, or Jake the Brick, which are much better than anything we before things got weird.

Cartoon Network will recover as long as they're known as the network that puts out animation like it. They'll have their next Adventure Time, their next Edd, Edd n Eddy. These things just take time, and it'll be dark the next few years but it'll bounce back.

This one?

I remember when this aired /co/ ate it up and accused anyone of hating it as butthurt Finn/PB shippers.

>>88388710
I remember it being pretty even in terms of FP and PB fans. /co/ was still pretty into Fubblegum at that time, it hadn't been steadily pounded into dust over a period of several years yet.

There are some problems with modern Adventure Time, really questionable decisions. These honestly don't get talked about on /co/ a lot.

There are matters of personal taste that have changed. The show's matured a lot, is much less wacky and silly, and tonally is very different. A lot of people on /co/ are salty about this.

A great many people on /co/ dislike it because they shipped Finn and Princess Bubblegum or even something like Finn and Marceline or Flame Princess, and now feel personally rejected and cucked on Finn's behalf, and can't help but self insert on the main character of the show and can't handle them not getting a girl.

>>88388942
>There are some problems with modern Adventure Time,
>These honestly don't get talked about on /co/ a lot.
Been in AT threads for years and other than talking about episodes that just aired talking about what problems the show has is what is primarily done in these threads. The hell are you taking about?

>>88387825
>>88387852
Getting mixed messages here... should I read Playing With Fire or no?

>>88389051
It's a very good story, personally my favorite of all the graphic novels that have come out, but it may poison your opinion of Finn and Flame Princess considering what happened in canon. It's bad because PWF is so cute and nice and then Frost and Fire happened in the show and it was just hell.

That was years ago however and Finn and FP are on better terms, so go for it. I do think it will leave a bit of a sour taste in your mouth considering what happened though.

I'd say its handled it much better than Adventure Time, which is weird because Adventure Time had better material to work with.

My brethren!

For me classic Adventure Time is up there among my favorite pieces of animation and I live it to pieces, and while I don't enjoy modern AT as much it's still very good stuff usually. So it's like the show went from a 10/10 to like a 9.3 or something.

It really is crazy seeing all the positivity for the show on /co/ again. Ya just toss in an adventuring miniseries and slap a robot arm onto Finn and everyone starts liking it again. Pretty funny.

Tell me more of your horrible opinions. Did you also like the talk singing in the season finale? Or all of Marcy's songs?

I think the worst times for AT is my memory where either the middle of the Finn sucks arc where he just kept digging himself in deeper and deeper no matter how everyone was begging him to stop, or the first half of season 6 right after Breezy. Not the best times man.

Season 7 has no real complaints from me though, overall real darn good.

>>88402726
Marcy's song's are just alright.
So was the talk singing, it was awkward and weirdly paced but also sort of fun to listen to.

Breezy's songs weren't bad guy, least to me. Had some interesting lyrics from what I remember.
