Welcome to the Adventure Time thread.

Try not to kill posters over ships please. It gets blood and other fluid all over the thread and it takes ages before it gets cleaned up by a mod.

If he didn't start that fight on the suggestion of Jake because that damned Cosmic Owl was in his dream I'd agree. If he'd asked Jake and Jake blew it off as "its just one of them growing dreams no biggie" and Finn started this crap anyway then yea. But the way this all just has come out it just seems really inconsistent unless he actually tracks down the damned Owl to find out WTF he did that for.
>> No. 215864
Wasn't expecting Flame Princess to take over her home kingdom, especially this soon, but it's an interesting development. Not really sure what standing uncomfortable secrets Finn has. Never too late for his fear of the ocean to come up again, maybe? Other characters certainly have secrets, but I'm not sure why any of them would really need to confront her. To get her aid in facing some major threat seems the most obvious potential reason, though there's probably others. I was honestly hoping for a bit more PB/FP based on the previews, but I like how Cinnamon Bun got along with her. Maybe Marceline could visit out of curiosity towards the recent regime change? Or FP could capture Magic Man for some crime and end up making him talk about/deal with his past more?

>>215855
It's good that she didn't just hook back up with Finn, but I also like that she was able to show some restraint instead of just attacking him and PB. While fierce and strictly enforcing her new rule, she's clearly showing that she isn't evil. Also, Jake was pretty nice in the few minutes he had at the start, with Ice King not being unreasonable about things.

>>215861
But the owl was clearly just laughing at him for its own amusement. I figure he and Jake would figure that out in hindsight.
>> No. 215866
>>215864
but that seems OOC given the way Jake was so urgent about needed to see the rest. If he comes out with "Hey sorry about all the drama but I needed to cause A for the sake of event B, I hope you understand." Then that would be better if Finn then kicks him in the owl nards for causing all this shit when an explanation would have done.

Heh. Isn't a little bit of projection how we get involved in the emotions of fictional characters anyway? That's why everyman protagonists are so popular. That might even be why Finn is the only human and also the main character - we need someone like us to be there as our tether.

But yeah, I ship PB/Marceline too and that's going great. This gif represents how I feel about them.
>> No. 215880
>>215876
On the contrary, I feel like every decision Finn made during the two episodes before this was selfish and irresponsible. I want him to suffer and redeem himself more.

Want to trample over Fire Princess's feelings so that you can get sexual gratification via dreams? Okay. Lie so you can exclude Jake from a potentially dangerous trip to the Lemon kingdom, endangering both yourself and Princess Bubblegum? Proceed to creep on Princess Bubblegum the whole time, even though it's gotten to the point that she shouldn't have to tolerate your advances anymore? Sure. Decide to apologize to Flame Princess - not because you feel genuine remorse for your actions, but because you discovered that other women aren't going to be available? OKAY.

In short, Finn has been acting /way/ more like a jerk than he has before. It's probably because he's a teenager now. Younger Finn was way more heroic and selfless. He'll probably emerge as a responsible, decent young adult sometime in the future.
>> No. 215881
>>215880
> He'll probably emerge as a responsible, decent young adult sometime in the future.

Or, feeling increasingly isolated from everyone except maybe the Ice King, he'll end up maladjusted and bitter, and indifferent to the suffering of others.

Honestly, the only times he's really been kinda dickish have all been in the Flame Princess storyline which has never been terribly pro-Finn. It started out with that bizarre, out of character freakout, then turned into the weird fire fetishism stuff, and so forth. And it never really developed that much of a relationship between Finn and Flame Princess; it started as the angry confused girl and the weird guy that got obsessed with her... and never really did much else with it. Largely because they didn't give Flame Princess emotions beyond 'naively confused about everything' and 'uncontrollable destructive rage'. And Finn never really drew anything else out of her.

Hell even as hard as the Manga tried nothing ever really seemed to come out of her. It did better but not good enough. Really feels like this was them just washing their hands of the whole thing they couldn't figure how to write IMO.

The thing is, I think Jake takes the Cosmic Owl more seriously than the Cosmic Owl does, and might not consider the idea that the message behind him laughing at you might just be that you're doing something amusingly stupid and ought to feel embarrassed for it.

All the characters have been wrecked frankly.

Finn - We already covered him in this thread.
PB - Sociopath bitch with murderous tendencies (yet presented as "decent").
Jake - He used to be notably much smarter and reasonable as the older sibling. Now he's too stupid and a prop for stupid jokes like his fetishes.

FP - IMO she was never really too likable and had nothing to her besides being the new girl for Finn. Not entertaining.

The only characters who have improved and gotten better in time were Ice King and Marceline. Ice King has notably stopped being an annoying nuisance kidnapping random princesses and Marceline thankfully has stopped doing her obnoxious annoying forced singing that she used to do.

Hatred is growing on me, but I still like Brock better, and Hatred has the advantage of the Ventures all growing smarter over the seasons with Brock before he came here. He doesn't have to take care of Hank and Dean anymore, because they know they're on their last lives, and Dean in particular doesn't want to go anywhere and do anything dangerous.

>Jake - He used to be notably much smarter and reasonable as the older sibling
Uh no, Jake has pretty much always been irrational and impulse-driven. Look at the first season.

* He suggested pushing the horse off the hill, and when that didn't work he suggested killing it.
* He used his new magical powers to cast a sleep spell on himself and refused to get up even when a meteor was baring down on him.
* He encouraged Finn to stay as a foot-boddied freak forever just because that was secretly his wish.
* He ate a donut grown in a witch's garden and did everything possible to get out of simply apologizing.
* Then when he did apologize, he ate another one.

He has his moments of sensibility, but more often than not it was Finn who proposed the diplomatic or rational solutions.

I think in the case of AT it's less that we *need* him as a tether so much as a way of nodding to a lot of other stories where a human character is used as one. It's pretty much a tradition, really. Having a physically fairly regular if athletic human also gives a convenient reference for how powerful things are, since otherwise there's not much of a sense of whether one character is super strong or if everyone else is just super weak.

>>215914
I'd say there's some of that. Just nod politely and quietly disregard comments needlessly exaggerating the characters' flaws, like I do, instead of engaging them in a discussion that has no way of actually getting anywhere.

I dunno, Love Games being about a continuation of relationship issues seems almost too obvious, in that the titles are more often than not rather misleading. With any luck it'll turn out to be the characters talking out their problems in a reasonable manner to put said games behind them, possibly while trying to escape from some kind of love themed game show/giant board game/whatever.

As for dungeon train, I'm not sure if I should be picturing a dungeon in a train or a train in a dungeon. Or a dungeon that trains people? Nah, that'd be Dungeon Trainer. Or Trainer Dungeon. Oh wait, it could be a dungeon featuring that guy named The Train.

Episode was very fun in just about everything except the ending, I guess cutting off so fast was a joke but it wasn't funny and just confusing.

And I don't see what everyone's beef with Finn is, he was great this episode. Beating up monsters and headbutting guards and also apologizing for being a dickhead. He hasn't matured but he's taken the first baby step towards that eventual goal. Had no qualms with him.

FP as King is sure to open up plenty of new storylines, she can be in a quest-giver role like Bubblegum usually is. Sad to see them two break it off, but I'm hoping it'll make them both stronger in the end.

Seo Kim's first shot at storyboarding was just fine in my book.

See the problem with Romance Finn is that the episodes about him were usually light on the beating shit up, and thus didn't play to Finn's strengths as a righteous yet impulsive buttkicker.

Except for maybe Puhoy.

I'm guessing that if PB actually dated him, she might do something to make him seem younger, maybe even making him half-gum like she is. With how the regular universe relates to Fionna & Cake, it could go as far as bubblegum Moe basically being Prince Gumball with a different origin, though that's going out on quite a bit of a limb. It's also possible they'd take things slow enough to essentially not really be dating for the first few decades, since they're both old enough and have enough years ahead of them to feel they have the time. It's not like they don't both have enough kids as it is, not that I'd pass up on the chance to see candy cyborgs.

Maybe they would consider doing it if people like you didn't talk far more about the romantic subplots than anything else, even in relation to episodes that have nothing to do with romance.

>> No. 217009
Hut, I guess my post actually did get dropped? Or it'll show up when this bumps the thread and I'll delete this post then.

>>216982
Yes, which is why I also think there's a chance of Slime Princess's Sister getting married to Ice King, only to get divorced when Ice King realizes he's just being used to forge an evil empire of slush, which would also give him more perspective on his whole princess-capturing deal. Even if the Slime Kingdom doesn't go an empire-building spree just yet, though, international relations seem to be shaky, with Lemongrab upset at Lemonhope being taken, Fire Princess unwilling to accept any level of secrecy (not good when negotiating with foreign military powers), and PB likely to do some big experiment with her amulet that could make her look like she's gearing up for conquest herself. If war doesn't break out, I think we'll at least see the precipice of it reached. Would be an appropriate time for The Lich to make a comeback, too.

I don't think so. He has called Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas one of his all-time favorite movies, and he even said that he actually enjoys the crazy Sonic the Hedgehog cartoon because it's so ridiculously insane.
