The show has an impressive set of writers and lead animators, all of whom clearly have input into how they design their particular episodes (Natasha Allegri’s episodes stood out, for example) as well as the various guest creators who come on (“A Glitch is a Glitch”) to mess up the status quo, but all of it remains focused somehow. And we began to notice that as other bits and pieces were thrown out there - Finn’s fear of water, the ghost in the mansion, Marcy’s fries - the show began to steadily create an actual form of always accessible canon.Īs such, the deeper you get into the show, the more of a rabbit hole you find. When you first learned the truth about the Ice King, for example, it was pretty mind-blowing to see how this bit of knowledge impacted other characters in how they treated him it was a complete reinvention of the show’s classic villain, and it’s been one of the most earnest revisions since. It never lost the ability to be taken in random bite sizes, but it began to reward those who care. For the most part the show remains accessible to anyone who might just casually tune in, as long as you’re ready for a particular brand of humor, but it has slowly instilled a sense of continuity between the episodes. Over time, Adventure Time has built itself quite an incredible mythology. And, all things considered, it was pretty much the best way the premiere could’ve gone. However, what’s most important to realize about Adventure Time’s rather brutal premiere is that this is very much something the show has earned. Check, please!Īnd I’d also point out that what immediately followed this was an episode of Regular Show where the gang re-formed Mordecai and the Rigby’s and sang a song about how they wish they had air conditioning. But man, what a somber way to start this new season off. I’s not unheard of for this show to throw a curve ball at it’s viewers and get weird. It seemed like an homage to the finale of Akira, but at least Akira had an R-Rating slapped on the film. Prismo’s death was sad and gruesome, though not all that outside of what you’d expect to see on the program Finn’s dismemberment, however, was unlike anything we’d seen on the show - a dark and violent moment that was as visually engaging as it was conceptually sickening. We not only met Finn’s father Martin, apparently a criminal, but we also witnessed the death of Prismo at the hands of the Lich and the loss of Finn’s arm as a result of his father’s continued negligence. But we’re not talking about Game of Thrones at all here we’re talking about Adventure Time, Pendleton Ward’s hit award-winning television program.ĭebuting in a new time slot with the double-sized episode “Wake Up/Escape from the Citadel,” Adventure Time fans were treated to some major developments within the timeline of the show.
If what I’m describing sounds at all like an episode of Game of Thrones, then good job - you read the title of the article and saw where I was going with this. Then, after being betrayed by his estranged father, a popular blonde young warrior had his limb severed unexpectedly and was left for dead in an unfamiliar land. Following this, an important stronghold was destroyed, allowing hordes of despicable villains to escape out into the unknown to come back for a future menace. First, a popular character was killed by a nefarious villain in a rather gruesome fashion. Last night on a popular hit television show, some major and shocking events took place. Please do not read further if you’ve not yet watched the episodes. As a note, unfortunately, this article discusses spoilers for last night’s Adventure Time premiere.
