not having a single showrunner at the top with a coherent vision and strict demands on what does and does not pass. giving the show to the whole team turns it into a contest to see whose fetish and OTP wins first.

Am I the only one who isn't upset over Bubbline?
Like, I don't love it, but I also don't hate it like some of you guys seem to do.

Was always canon and always going to be canon. Real ones remember Natasha telling people "it's funny that you pretend to know what the fuck you're talking about" when people told her Marceline and PB weren't gay as a response to her crew art. This was even before What Was Missing.

>>150976057
It set precedent for the show that would eventually ruin it. This one thing itself wasn't the only issue

>>150976057
>Was always canon and always going to be canon
No it wasn't. When Pen decided to let his writers room become anarchy was when it became canon

>>150975987
That dyke cunt Marceline had to cuck Finn in order for this relationship to happen, she was the main reason why Finn couldn’t land PB. From the very beginning of the show you can see that she was trying to sabotage any hope of those two getting together. Remember that one time she made Finn place wolves in PB’s room and made him take the whole blame for it. She gave him shit dating advice on purpose, it was carefully planned with the endgame of Finn losing out on getting with her ex and getting back together with PB. Also, how convenient that the episode which started the whole Bubbline craze, What Was Missing, happened a few episodes after Fubblegum was sunk in Too Young. It’s a shame that Finn didn’t stake Marceline, she was out to ruin his happiness.

>>150976019
I hated it because of what it represented for the show.
The show became a free for all where the writers who hated the main concept of the show, a young boy and his dog go on adventures, were allowed to write whatever they want.
No matter how stupid, or boring, or comically pseudo intellectual it is. And those writers didn't just hate the concept of the show, they hated Finn, and they seemingly went out of their way to make him last retarded and miserable as possible.

Bubbline makes great Rule 34 fodder, but what it meant in the grand scheme was bad.

>>150976135
>The show became a free for all where the writers who hated the main concept of the show, a young boy and his dog go on adventures, were allowed to write whatever they want.

that was what killed it for me
the show began to feel like a room of people arguing and tugging and throwing shit, no coherence and the characters just become Feelings and Problems in the most uninteresting way

>>150976135
I dunno, I feel like even though Marcy and PB got together, Finn and Jake still went on adventures.
They just took Marcy and PB's characters in an unexpected direction, but it didn't like, ruin the show for me.

>giving the show to the whole team
Yes, I absolutely agree. This happens every single time with every single type of media franchise, be it a cartoon, a vydia gaem, a movie, a comic, etc.
Other people can throw in ideas and suggestions, but I think the final creative decision or direction must always be the responsibility of the original creator; delegating it to a team almost always results in a mess, with people throwing their own views, their headcanons, their preferences, beliefs, etc. It tends to lead to inconsistencies, flanderization, and changes in the original view and intent for the series.

>>150975987
marcy and bonnie (formerly bettie) were conceived as friendly rivals following the orbit of our boy protagonist
newer staff saw the two and thought they would make a good pair for the exact same reasons they made good rivals plus the rivalry can be spun into any sort of shipfuel angst which is what they did
i'm not fundamentally against it, the issues with late stage marceline and bubblegum (and AT in general) are deeper than them fucking, bubbline is really just a symptom
personally i blame the botching of bubblegum's character (making her a thousand year old lunatic dictator) first and foremost for ruining the fucking character allowing a "they were exes" narrative to form
the same applies to marceline

>>150976233
and allowing*
oopsie

you know, I went from AT being my whole fucking life, to not wanting to discuss it on /co/ at all because of fucking retards with brain damage
>>150976086
>>150976135
>>150976233
but you guys are actually sane. I'm glad some people have their heads on straight, even if they don't hate the things I hate quite as much as I do.

in any case, I will stay firmly in denial. Never happened in the show, Obsidian never existed, AT is still awesome.

>>150975987
While I do think the Bubbline thing is forced and I don't care for it much. I do find Finncels to be the most pathetic thing out of recent western animation. It's the western equivalent of self inserting as Kirito from SAO from roughly the same time. I am happy to see them not get what they thought they deserved but I also don't hate Finn himself so I hope they don't take HW from him. They're cute together.

>>150976019
I'm pretty indifferent to it. Adventure time was always pretty hit or miss to me, and by the time they brought out Bubbline, I wasn't watching anymore and I didn't really care.

>>150976019
shit is a symptom of the declining quality of the show later on. The gay shipping was always there, even made from the crew themselves. But having the actual show legitimizing it by a storyboarder's wayward decision caused the seethe. Its seeing two characters that you think were cool at the beginning being reduced to shipping fodder.

I really don't give two flying fucks whenever I see other cartoons pull this shit, because I don't like those shows overall to begin with. Hell, I don't even give a shit when its their genderbent versions either, they're still technically different characters.

>>150976086
It's his show and letting the people he hired have creative freedom is what he wanted, and you don't even know who came up with it, it could have been a unanimous thing like "that would have probably happened at some point".

Most of the show is other peoples ideas since Pen left pretty early in the series's lifespan, you can't pick and choose what's canon based on what you think the "original vision" was.

>>150975987
> even in Fiona and cake the superior pairing was was finn and marceline but gender bent

I've said this before and I'll say it a thousand more times, PB and Marceline being bitter exes made perfect sense. They have conflicting personalities and would piss eachother off.
Bubblegum is very controlling and has little patience for whimsy unless it's on her terms
Marceline does not like being told what to do and is very prone to shenanigans

Them getting back together makes zero sense with this context, and I think the writers know this fully, because they've completely neutered their personalities so they'll fit together. There is nothing left to their characterization anymore beyond being uwu hecking wholesome chungus sapphic cottagecore coffeeshop domestic clam-slammers.

>Them getting back together makes zero sense with this context
I mean, people can change and grow, I think it makes perfect sense for them to learn to compromise, PB can learn to accept some whimsy in her life, and Marcy can learn to accept some structure.

>>150976614
there's changing and growing and then there's completely castrating characterization and calling it 'growth'.

>>150976585
A cringe self inserter? Never. I was when I was an actual child but I'm dusty old bones full of green dust now. You can enjoy a character without needing to LITERALLY BE ME OMG FRFR kinda shit. In fact a lot of my favorite characters are characters that are absolutely nothing like me or anything I can relate to, they're just interesting characters.

Bubblegum loved being whisked away to do fun shit with Marceline, precisely because she was so in control of all other aspects of her life. Marcy gave her an outlet for freedom and fun. They're really not so different.

>>150976135
You can't make a 10 season show with such a simple premise without it turning stale at some point

>>150975987
I don't think the ship is forced at all, considering the show has 10 seasons and it's been developing for 7 of those
I feel like the "bubbline is forced" argument is what's actually being forced kek
also, that drawing is pretty gay

>>150976376
So what youre saying is...the show being turned from a kids shos to a fun devoid litterally me dyke romance shit fest is good because "fuck them kids". Is that what youre saying?

Who in the fuck wants to watch loser lesbian cat ladies, jailhouse gay loser foids, and balls devoid agp suffering beta fags therapy session and self inserting?

They can go collectively fist themselves on their own goddamned time. Not on Adventure time.

One piece, detective Conan have been going for generations. SpongeBob and Ttgo as well.
Thats an excuse.
They litterally fucked up a cheap to make popular evergreen ip....to push faggotry and pseudo intelligent bullshit.

"Mathematical!" was a promotional video series for Adventure Time produced briefly by Frederator Studios in the first half of season three. It was posted on a YouTube channel and linked to on the Frederator Blog. They were produced by Frederator Studios, and did not involve the current Adventure Time crew. Its producer was Dan Rickmers.[1]
"Mathematical!" was discontinued due to a controversy surrounding the recap for the episode "What Was Missing." The "Mathematical!" recap focused on a possible romantic subtext between Princess Bubblegum and Marceline.
As a result of this situation, "Mathematical!" was discontinued and Dan Rickmers was fired from Frederator Studios.[5] Fred Seibert stated that the decision to pull "Mathematical!" was not influenced by the Adventure Time crew nor by Cartoon Network.[2]

I like it, I was the OG shipper when it was still a crackship, during season 2. But I hate when became of AT after they introduced Simon and the other bullshit. I lost interest in the franchise.

Muto kowtowed to the loud idiotic fanfic consumers on staff. Marcy and PB would have been a lot more fun if it remained a fan ship. Making it canon didn’t feel natural, or necessary. I have zero problems with lgbtq stuff in media in general, but this was pure fan service servicing a very small but obnoxiously loud demographic on social media.

>>150975987
Funny, this was made by Charla Trotman, a.k.a. Charlie "Iron Spike" Trotman of Iron Circus Comics, a publisher of indie SJW comics, as well as Squee Rat of the Burned Furs, who authored its manifesto. She's your typical Black woman leftist, hates White people even if she's married to a doormat of a White "man," yet she's somehow conveniently ignored, even after she was responsible for the lackadaisy pilot, and her collaborative comic with that Hbomber söyboy.

Marcy, who was already limited to being the “edgy” vampire, did not benefit from this relationship. Meanwhile, PB, who was always more interesting, became even more interesting. The relationship became more of a character arc for PB than for Marcy herself. Not to mention that there are fewer Marcy episodes than fucking LSP and BMO (I love both) episodes. That's how much they cared about the Bubbleline plotline.

Spongebob is pure garbage past the first movie
TTGO is unwatchable trash
One Piece and Detective Conan have multiple arcs across a whole bunch of different episodes and, in spite of being on air for such a long time, they still have lineal continuity, which apparently is something Adventure Time "purists" (aka "Finncels") absolutely despise, because they'd rather watch a plotless, mindless, adventure-of-the-week type show with no consequence and that always follows a status quo... which is fucking boring, anon. Unless you have the wittiness of Phineas & Ferb or the creativity of early Simpsons writers, which, guess what, is extremely rare in the industry.

fpbp. If there's one lesson for creators to take from shows going to shit it's to have the "vision thing" right from the start and have solid character bios and know where you want your characters and stories to ultimately end up. Of course, hiring shippers who are more interested in making their fanfics canon than telling good stories is also a terrible mistake in itself.

As much as I like to badmouth Nintendo, I got to appreciate how they protect their IP.
