What the fuck happened to Adventure Time?>inb4 rebecca sugarNo, seriously, I want to know! I remember Adventure Time not having a whole lot of melodramatic crap to begin with, and something seemed off about it right after the first season or so. At the time, I thought Adventure Time would've been similar to Regular Show, but somehow Regular Show got its own lore too? Fuck, I don't even know if I should re-watch Adventure Time and gather a fresher opinion, because it seems like an entirely different show later on. I've had my fill of SU, and I'd rather not watch anything like that ever again.
>>153644679This is just spam at this point.
>>153644679This is already seems like it's gonna be a boring adventure time thread Just a retread of the same points that can be found in the archives
>>153644679nothing? people are just seething over their ship not being canon.
>>153644702>This is already seems like it's gonna be a boring adventure time threadNo? At least, this isn't the USUAL AT thread. I'm talking from the perspective of someone who hasn't kept up with the show in a long time. It appears to have a fuckton of spinoffs now, including an "adult-oriented" Cake and Fionna? Holy shit, I remember when that was a one-off episode!
>>153644679>no, I don't like that answer! I want a different one!!!too bad
>>153644706No
>>153644734I mean, the answer's technically correct. What I want is more of a nuanced discussion on how AT went from being a spiritual Flapjack successor to a weird SU prototype.
>>153644679
>>153644751You have to use that
>>153644745The creator of flapjack worked on the early seasons of AT and then he quit and rebecca showed up and was like "make finn cry muahahahaha"
>>153644910>The creator of flapjack worked on the early seasons of ATIT MAKES SENSE NOW! If I was him, I'd quit too.
>>153644679AT started off as a show that would appeal to teen boys: fun adventures, interesting ideas, and a male character to project onto. By Season 2, newer writers came in, the main one being Sugar, and tried to add some "depth" to the show's nonsensical setting. This was the inflection point. The series got more serious, which wasn't bad on its own, but then the people who knew how to write that kind of stuff left to do their own thing. Now the people who were left wanted to do the stuff Sugar and her minions were doing, but had no fucking talent. Bing bang boom, everything went to shit. That's about it.
>>153644679What else is there to say that wasn't said already? It changed, dropped the early ggofy & zany atmosphere for more introspective and melodramatic attitudes.
>>153645603Yikes, that explains why Pendleton Ward had no involvement with those spinoffs at all. Figured it was people from the crewniverse handling things.
>>153644679It's the same situation as SU. It starts out as episodic nonsense, but there are hints at a deep lore in the background. Gradually they explore that until it becomes a bigger part of the story.In Adventure Time it was the fact that the world was post-apocalyptic and Finn was the last human in a world of monsters and magic. It begs the question of how that happened.
>>153646448Nothing topped Mirror/Ocean Gem for me. The show doing jackshit with Lapis after her rescue despite what her introduction meant for the lore was criminal.
>>153644679I've enjoyed the whole way through actually.
Everyone in these threads needs to get a life. Move on from this faggy show. Get a job and have sex.
>>153646448Im so glad all of these faggots are out of work. Fuck them all into the dirt.
>>153648042You are faggy and nobody cares about that scam, subhuman
>>153648042If it were that easy we wouldnt be here smartass. Bootstraps tier post. Why bother replying to the thread?
>>153648042It's hard to move on from a show that's technically not even dead yet? I didn't even know that until now, especially since Fionna and Cake's second season came out last year.
>>153648056>Bootstraps tier postYeah, it sure takes a lot of effort to not obssess over a kiddy cartoon all day long.
>>153644679I think they just started pandering to the online community and that just changed it to be about the drama and lore. Although I might be thinking about Star Vs The Forces of Evil, which I'm pretty sure threw away half the relationships being built up for the sake of shippers.
>>153648096Lol, cope
>>153648106So I was doing some basic AT research, and found out why OP's picrel felt like a Regular Show episode. It was written and storyboarded by the same guy!
>>153648111You don't need to tell everyone what you do. Save it for your blog, finncel.
>>153648123Faggot
>>153648096>how dare you discuss cartoons on the cartoon board?!get some new material you ham
>>153648131We don't sign our posts here>>153648145>get some new materialTake that advice and make a thread about something else. How about a better show
>>153648162How about you fuck off, pal
>>153644679>The nigga with herpes that spits when he talks
>>153648162>How about a better showLead by example you stubborn prick. Try making a thread for any cartoon older than nickelback and see how that fucking fares. Anything short of spongebob, family guy, or btas barely lasts a day or two on this dying fucking inferno of a board.
>>153648018I'm glad the tonal whiplash didn't throw you off. Admittedly I was much younger when I first cared about AT, so my tastes changed considerably. (Deep down, I'd still prefer AT to be wackier and more episodic like it used to be, but that's my personal bias talking.)
>>153648205kek wtf
>>153644745The lore bits were always there, they just decided to finally adress them by dripfeed over seasons, but i feel like the jumping the shark moment of the show was after the citadel where finn lost its arm and turned depressed, also random adventures were more rare past that point.
>>153644706/thread
>>153648323
>>153648111Lol, arrest
>>153648053this ain't a scam, job is a serious thing, subnormal.
>>153648919Begone, Paco
>>153648937Make me, tyrone.
>>153648131Sperg
>>153648898kek
>>153648740Was Ice King also less prominent, or did he become depressed too? I remember him being one of the highlights, but it's been so long since I last seen AT that it's hard for me to make an accurate judgement.
>>153648191How about to sneed m8
>>153644679Holy shit a thread from 20 years ago!
>>153649017Hey now, 15.
Finncels still seething about Bubbline? Good.
>>153644679the show wouldn't have 1/10th the staying power it ended up having if it was just episodic comedy ala s1, I also tuned out during the romanceshit with Flame princess but the Marcy plots more than make up for those
>>153646448we still talk about how promising you were, SU S1...
>>153650334bubbline is a pleb filter
>>153644706>people are just seething over their ship not being canon.why is /co/ like this, why are you guys such huge faggots
Shipping is for brain damaged troglodytes.
>>153650423>I also tuned out during the romanceshit with Flame princessThat's right, it was this "tier 15" joke that jogged my memory. Somehow that was the ONLY thing I remembered post-Flame Princess.
>>153650534Seething over a sentient bush winning the finnbowl is pretty /co/
>>153650976>finnbowl>timmybowlHold on... are these two somehow related, and did they both spawn new schizos in the process? The fuck..?
I don't really see why AT becoming gradually more lore-heavy and serious is really a bad thing, I just interpreted it as the show (and Finn) growing up alongside its audience
>>153648740The shark jumping moment wasn't him losing his arm, but rather him losing it and then getting it like 5 eps later because apparently one of writers thought shiity sexual allegories are the magical for teenager depression and wanted to use the show as his personal therapy session, maturity my fucking ass
>>153651093iirc the team wanted to leave Finn armless for longer, but CN vetoed that idea
>>153651085Should add that I'm not saying it's wrong to prefer the tone and style of the earlier seasons, or that the later style can't be critiqued, I just think it's a little rude to be like "Adventure Time SHOULD'VE stayed like this, the new writers are all hacks"If it became something you're no longer interested in, then just move on>>153651120It's a bit of a shame, it could've potentially led to Fern being introduced earlier
>>153651120That's hard to believe when they removed it a second time later anyway with lno fanfare, and even assuming this was true it doesn't remove the fact that this episode is a goodbexample of what AT was set to become later, a show used as therapy session for shitty 20 something manchild millennials thinking they're writing the next Evangelion
>>153651132>then just move onYeah, that's actually what I did for a while. It's been brought to my attention again since it's apparently still ongoing, so curiosity got the best of me. I've mentioned before that I remember Fionna and Cake as a one-off episode, and not a whole spinoff. I'll take some of the other anons' advice and skip most of the Flame Princess stuff.
>>153651181Ye, Fionna and Cake is a spinoff series that takes place after the events of the main show. There's also Distant Lands which is a series of TV specials that you should check out before F&CI personally wouldn't skip the Flame Princess stuff since it's fairly important in regards to Finn's character growth, but do whatever you want
>>153651243Then I suppose I should watch AT in its entirety. It didn't take me until watching all of SU to figure out that Sadie Kiiller and the Suspects weren't really going anywhere.
>>153651243It’s unnecessary crap
>>153650522Faggot
>>153648930Tard
>>153650522It only works if one of them is a futanari.
>>153644679Next week it's my turn to make this thread
>>153644679Rebecca Sugar was fine, it was Muto who has ground the show down all the ay to the end.
>>153644695Duh
>>153648740>The lore bits were always there,True
>>153651416not if I get to do it first
>>153651482>Rebecca Sugar was fineNope
>>153651338Marceline is definitely the futa
