I roll my eyes whenever people say "drop this series after season x" these days. Usually it's not that the series turns bad, but does something different.

I liked it through and through.

Series referring series in general, not specifically just AT

What if it's the executive producer telling you to drop it after season 5?

Fuck that, drop this series after season 2.

Not in the slightest. Adventure Time is good from beginning to end and people on here specifically only dislike the later seasons because of a handful of episodes and severely exaggerating a change in direction when it's majority adventures one off adventures from start to finish. There's also not wanting it to be anything beyond goofy stories
>>
>>146831919
Adventure Time is the only franchise that keeps growing up with the audience. Every franchise went "back to the roots" to appeal people who fantasize about living in the past, even Harry Potter (see: HBO remake)
>>
Adventure Time is cozy.

>>146831919
It didn't get bad really, just some meh episodes. The later seasons feel like a more surreal Moomins to me.

Show literally never gets bad. There are bad episodes but the b'awwwwing is literally gay self insert fags and mostly bad faith types that hated the cartoon from the moment it was announced.

IMO

S1-3) Dumb fun you were supposed to turn your brain off for.

S4-6) Pre-teen show with good intentions but sloppy execution… sometimes. Breezy is a black mark on the series that you have to get through if you want to see light at the end of tunnel.

S7-10) Unironically great alt-fantasy show with a good variety of stories ranging from longer-form drama to the usual 12-minute dumb fun. Also has a better ending than I gave it credit for 6 years ago.
>>
>>146832973
When was the last time you actually watched the show from beginning to end?
>>
>>146832980
Like 3 months ago with a friend who had never seen it
>>
>>146831919
This is cope.
I have watched adventure time in it's entirety three times, under the influence of different substances each time.
It genuinely gets hard to watch around season 5, there was clearly no agreed upon direction and vision after Pen stepped down.
You can't have overarching deep lore plot AND an episodic series. Anyone saying that shit worked is coping hard.
No I won't read your (You)s, you are wrong and your shit opinions about cartoons are why they are the way they are currently.
>>
>>146833010
>You can't have overarching deep lore plot AND an episodic series
Yes, you can. Very easily, even. You just have a limited understanding of plot structures. There is nothing wrong with having a show be mostly episodic while building up an overarching narrative slowly. Just because you're autistic doesn't make it bad.
>>
>>146833029
What did this shit build up to,
Lesbians singing and a metaphorical abortion and divorce?
>>
>>146832973
>Also has a better ending than I gave it credit for 6 years ago.
It really fucking doesn't. Not only letting a minor character like Betty save the day while Finn sits in a box, with the showrunner saying "well at that point Finn's story was over, we didn't feel he needed to be the hero every time" which is a prime excuse for "show ran too long", but it's not even satisfying for its story elements. Golb as a threat happens out of nowhere and PB's family drama being introduced around that point and being the culmination of the entire show sucked ass. And that's not even getting into how only her father figure uncle gumbald was evil for real real, cuz he had the juice on him before redeeming but tripped on it which meant never redeemed?? but of course the aunt is okay they can sit around and singing songs now.

It's a genuinely shit finale. People crying over the time adventure song just show how Rebecca has manipulated people into bullshit emotional problems.
>>
>>146834409
>Not only letting a minor character like Betty save the day
there's literally nothing wrong with this. why does Finn need to be the one to save the day in a plot that mostly involves Simon and Betty?
>>
>>146834608
Also, it ignores the fact that Finn was the one that averted the war between Bubblegum and Gumbald, something she even recognizes afterwards would’ve been a mistake.
>>
>>146831919
massive cope and blatant lying from OP, this show is shit past the episode with the lady armor.
>>
>>146834954

>>146834954

>>
I would like to see a bit more screen time on Ice Queen/Simone in the new series, even if it's a few scenes. She had so much build up and then - gone.
>>
>>146831919
>does something different
lol and it miserably fails at it.
Anyone else remembers how the show foreshadowed Finn losing his arm for years and years and when it finally does it at a season finale with all the hype of the world just for the show to undo it in just 4 fucking episodes apparently because one of the writers thought that a conga line of wet allegories is the magical cure for teenage depression? And don't even tell me that they backtracked on it later because it was as reaction for the backslash that this got with zero emotional weight to it
By the time that they realized that they've fucking the show after season 3 and decide to do miniseries it was too little too late and everyone with more than room temperature IQ jumped ship I even believe that they started to appeal to stupid bubbline shiptards because they were THAT desperate for viewership

>>146836567
You dislike it by virtue of it being different because you have a knee-jerk reaction to change, not because it's actually bad. Even then, the experimental episodes were a handful of what remained a vast majority goofy one off stories.The series itself was fantastic start to finish.

Season 3 is responsible for the fanfic spinoff garbage. That alone is its biggest crime. As well as a few other boring episodes that started to become more common. Season 3 is clearly when they started to run out of steam.

No, I stopped watching around season 8 I think. But I doubt it got any better after that.

>>146836869
Didn't know you wanted an in depth review.

Thank You: The main characters are sidelined to focus on a character who cant talk and has very little personality.

The New Frontier. Whole Episode is about Finn trying to prevent Jakes dream from coming true but it doesn't come true anyway and there is ultimately no payoff to the story.

Incendium: Worst episode of the season. Finn spends It moping around like a pathetic simp while Jake finds him a girlfriend. (Who he later loses by behaving like a total weirdo creep for no reason.) The way Finn acts around girls feels out of touch with his normal character and seems more like the writers just working through their own personal problems.

Overall Season 3 was still decent with only a handful of bad episodes. But these type of episodes with a focus on relationship drama and "deep" philosophical musing began to dominate the show in the later seasons.

I've watched pretty much all the shows /co/ loves to bitch about and loved them the whole way through. Steven, AT, Voltron, all of them are mediocre and just dragging their feet at their very worst. Honestly the only modern shows I've actually disliked are ones that /co/ loves like Amphibia

this show gets so shit in the later seasons. once the romance and that marceline character get more spotlight, it's trash.
>>
>>146831919
But doing something different is a fine reason to stop watching. Imagine a show that starts as a murder mystery, spends 3 seasons as one, but season 4 and onward it shifts to a romcom. The romcom isn't bad, but it's not the reason you watched. If you were to recommend someone the show as a murder mystery, you would tell them to drop it after season 3.

Pretty much this. Adventure Time began as a show about a boy and his dog going on fun adventures and ended with just pure shipping wankery. They weren't even fans of the show before the writers introduced all that gay stuff.

Yeah I hate seeing what happened to this, shipping is so fucking lame and seems to attract very unstable people. Was originally gonna give an actual response to OP but after seeing the absolute state of this thread, fuck it. I'll always remember this show fondly but the way discussion surrounding it ended up going is pure cancer.

AT shipping is basically the last holdout of tumblr-era utter shipping insanity. You can even tell from how people get extremely defensive when you call them out on it and how they hyper-focus on whatever ship they're into. It's the same mentality that utterly choked out Voltron discussion when it was airing.

This never happened. The romance is always a very small part of the show and the vast, vast, vast majority of even the later episodes don't focus on it. At least not Finn's. It's like your brains are cherry picking a few episodes and deciding that it represents the entire latter portion of the series.

At least they're finally doing something that acknowledges the good era of the show when Finn and PB's relationship was good and engaging in how the two interacted and the scenes it could lead to.

I wouldn't mind buying this even though the YouTooz line is almost ubiquitous with cancerous ecelebs and gay shit.

Same. Whenever I recommend a show to someone, I'd rather let them experience it themselves and form their own opinions. In Adventure Time's case, the most I'd say is that "Season 6 gets a little weird," but that's about it. A newcomer to AT would already have the advantage of avoiding CN's unbearable hiatuses anyway.

What's even MORE obnoxious is the correlation I've come to find between the kinds of people OP describes and the kinds who refuse to watch a show that was cancelled on a cliffhanger. It's as if they can't be bothered to get invested in something new for a change simply because it leaves some questions unanswered. So what?! This is a problem with short-lived action cartoons from the late 2000s/early 2010s, and it's gotten even worse with how stingy streaming service have been towards animated series. Lots of one-season shows that fall under the radar because the general populace has grown tired of early cancellations and just EXPECTS them to happen for any new show announced. You're literally manifesting yet another cancellation with that attitude! What's not clear about that?!

>>146841919
I stopped paying attention around his birthday towards the end of the series, where he has to kill Fern, goes home, and pukes, then the episode ends. It was either before or after that where Ice King dresses up as Flame Princess in an ungodly birthday party and everyone seemed to think that was ok including Marcy and PB together despite it just making him silently depressed and uncomfortable. If it happened after, then I only saw it posted and not the full epsiode. Which was also I think about him having to fight for his life and getting beat up.
