Martin had something to do with that I'd wager. Or has knowledge to recreate such nasty tech.

That was really really good. Martin, just being a shithead instead of this big dramatic villain or long lost loving father is great. And this whole episode while keeping the "maybe too dark" stuff that has been the hallmark of later adventure time it also really ramped up "Adventure" in a way they have not done for a while outside of genre-imitating character spotlights.

The whole bit with Prismo, the scene where the Lich talks to Finn it was all the best.

Ron Perlman was great in this episode, even if it seems he was just skatting for longer than he was talking.

"Blargh! Rrrraar! Gargh! Braarrrgh!"

>>226581
That speech was killer though. Short but chilling.

>>226560
I really hope he comes back somehow. He was such a entertaining asshole. Be a shame not to use him anymore.

>>226569
Yes, we know how the Lich was made in the first place. It's just that following the logic that by being made alive again he ceases to be the Lich altogether, that if his living form dies he'll probably become the Lich again. It also makes sense from a plot point, as Lich-baby becomes a big Chekhov's gun to be used at a later date, almost certainly the season finale.

Root Beer Guy is gonna be back again

Based crew.

The toxic creature threat is destroyed in two minutes and the final one in such a way that makes no sense.

Why has no one fired this piece of shit yet?

>>226757
Not in the episode at all.

that picture is apparently supposed to be why.

Funny episode

>>226785
I'll grant that the confrontation with the goo monsters was pretty anticlimactic with the gumball guardians just zapping them, and with zombie James feeling like wasted potential. As far as the James' method of neutralizing zombie James though, it doesn't strike me as any less weird or implausible than anything else we've already seen, so that bit in itself doesn't bother me.

Kinda hoping that if the series goes on long enough, that maybe James will be brought up again, his mutant-bodied self returning once more as either a zombified or otherwise fully-monstrous threat. Bubblegum's decisions/creations coming back to haunt her to various extents has been a recurring theme, and despite some of the places it's gone (see: Lemongrab and everything that spawned from that), I don't feel like it's ever been fully addressed with the depth certain other plot points have.

Citadel storyboard if anyone wants to thumb through it.

Well, James II felt like a waste of 11 minutes.

>>226812
You have no sense of humor.

>>226813
Drawn out 'they're just too stupid to get it' isn't really my kind of humor. Or rather, I've been exposed to it so much I just don't find it funny anymore.
Either way, didn't enjoy it.

>>226817
As a background gag it could have worked but loaded in the foreground, yea kinda a mess.

>>226812
Yup.

>>226813
Nope.

If they made more serious episodes would the fan base stop being butthurt?

>>226905
They could stand to make less, their attempts to be serious usually fall flat on their face.

In other news, there's a new comic starting up soon.

That was easily one of the best episodes of Adventure time in a very long time.

It also had one of the sweetest things PB has ever done.

Finn's mind must be such an interesting place.
Just build a fucking tower into space, I don't give a shit fuck it

This episode's reception was a lot warmer than I expected, I didn't find it very funny except for the deer parts.

I suppose it's probably because I don't really care much for Finn as a character nor do I have that much interest in this show having long storylines.

>lose your arm due to your stupidity
>blame your dad

Nah, that's pretty normal teen logic.

>>227097
I have no idea what you are talking about.

How did PB know what Finns dad looked like so she could make the suit?

>>227120
Finn or Jake might have told her earlier or maybe Starchie got a good look.

>>227120
>>227123
You are precluding PB's vast age, I think it's most likely Martin was VERY problematic to the Kingdom before his imprisonment.

Hmmm, guess the arm isn't gone.

>>227130
Yeah, it's really the only applicable option short of full grass arm.

>>227131
Since PB gave him some kinda donk Candy Arm. Come on Peeb just whip up another cyber jimmer limb

>>227132
I think the worst thing about that arm is that it's telling of how PB thinks of Finn, it couldn't be used for anything but combat.

So I think by the end of it she had a nice moment of realization when it came to helping him.

I think Finn is supposed to replace the Guardians, that shit is hyper regenerative so I would be surprised if we learned it's jacked the grass curse and was pushing Finn towards recapturing the criminals, his Dad chief among them since he's the leader, it also explain why his TK arm looked like Guardian Jelly.

>>227134
>I think the worst thing about that arm is that it's telling of how PB thinks of Finn, it couldn't be used for anything but combat.
Well... it wasn't. It was fueled by his emotions, specifically his anger towards his dad and his desire to hurt him. Priority one was getting Finn to let go of that anger before he got hurt.

>>227157
By "that arm", he meant the candy one that broke at the beginning of the episode.

I keep saying, yall need to look at the seasons of Adventure Time as a maturing boy's imagination as he grows up. Compare the tone and flavor of Season 1 with its arbitrary absurdity and the infinite possibility of imagination, to now.

As Finn has grown up, his adventures have lost the nonsensical bit of juvenile ambition they used to have, with clearer moral and absolutely lighter tones, and more static has crept in. More interest in girls. Less absolute morality, where everything is comfortably on an alignment compass.

By the time Finn hits 18-20, Ooo will probably receive very little in the way of new silliness like random magic rings and pixel people over the horizon, and just be a mapped out land with every mystery accounted for and all the misc. people given a place in a history or timeline.

The last episode will probably get the Snowglobe treatment.

>>227159
Hope we get more Carol if just for the sake of her being a kinda caring grump.

>>227157
It's PB's candy arm I'm talking about guy, I don't know how you could make that mistake.

>>227164
Seriously, I really like Carol.

>>227159
From the way I understood what she was saying I figured those girls were exactly what she was before evaporating.

>>227165
I didn't even look at the post to which you were responding and assumed that you were talking about the arm in the image you attached to the post. Myyyyyy mistake.

It's funny. We always want to know more about the lore and history of a strange new land, but the more we get, the more the possibility of more strange newness shrinks. The magic of novelty is replaced.

>>227175
Tis the way with Fantasy Settings.

>>227175
Jake: Listen, man. One day, I'm probably gonna have half-rainbow pupsters. I gotta be able to share my babies' culture.
Finn: Huh. [goes under the table] Oh. [comes out from underneath it] Hey, this table is wobbly. We gotta take it to the Lost Tinker Goblin of Fog Mountain to fix it.
Jake: Dude, I would love to go on some crazy, made-up adventure with you, but I really gotta read this. So from here on out, I'm just gonna ignore you. [continues reading and mumbling]
Finn: I don't make up adventures! Jake, you know that! Jake! I don't make up adventures!

>>227185
The older they get the less magical things become, maybe they are in one of those transition periods where magic begins to fade and Science starts a resurgent
