I loved how Jake was all giant foot at the end there. That dick wizard Ash certainly had it coming.

My favorite part of the episode was Finn just standing in awe after Ash's reveal. "Whaaaaaaaat?"

Oh my god that was such a great episode. Every time there's a Marceline episode I'm a little anxious but every time they pull it off beautifully. The scene where Finn found Marceline's dad eating her french fries and he whispers "Hey, don't eat those" was incredible delivery. The memory plan at the end was way more clever than I'd been expecting from Finn (when he'd said "then I go rescue Marceline!" I'd assumed he'd just bust in and try to carry her out. Is Finn... maturing?). And the kicking/giant foot? So perfect. I never ever want Adventure Time to end.

I think my favorite little detail in the episode is just how Finn casually closed the door that contained the baby him singing. He didn't make a fuss, he didn't act embarrassed, I don't even think his expression changed. He just quickly closed the door.

Hey guys, I went to Comic Con and managed to get an interview with three of the voice actors from Adventure Time! Finn, Marceline and Bubblegum Princess! It was totally awesome, didn't expect actual on camera interviews, but each person was really nice and friendly. http://shotgaming.com/?p=384 I'm working on the interview with the creator now, he was very funny and easy to talk with. Got some good stuff out of it and I got Finn to sign the toy they gave away at the show, the company didn't give him one and he had no clue where to get it, but wanted one for his sister. I was surprised they wouldn't give him on, that's insane.

Yeah, I was wondering how much stuff he's throwing at them with decoys within decoys, like adding scenes where Jake gets stabbed to death to distract them from other stuff.

(This post is rambly and has spoilers for the gender-swap clip and Memory of a Memory) I'm going to go on a tangent that might not make sense to much of anyone, but I'd just like to see what people think. One reason I think a lot of my geeky 20-something friends relate to Adventure Time is because it spends a lot of time playing on RPG-ish, shounen-ish, video game-ish tropes--the strong adventurer, his loyal buddy, a villain that kidnaps princesses, the cute good girl, the dangerous bad girl, etc. These are things we grew up with, and it's fun seeing the show play with them. Is everyone with me so far? Building on that--the big thing that I think people responded to in Natasha Allegri's gender-swap concept artwork is how much it reminded me of the shoujo-type of video games and comics that I'd read while growing up. Keep in mind, I'm 23, and my Saturday morning cartoons had tons of anime and action-adventure and girl-power influences. Fiona's ruby sword would fit in perfectly in Sailor Moon, Kids' WB's Cardcaptors or the other Saturday morning magical girl cartoons that I watched growing up. And Marshall Lee and Prince Gumball fit into anime shoujo romance tropes themselves--Marshall Lee is the kind of mean bad boy (Darian from Sailor Moon, Lee of Cardcaptors), while Gumball is pretty much a glamorous straight-edge Prince Charming (Tuxedo Mask of Sailor Moon, and hell, drat near every one of the pre-seventies Disney princes). Ice Queen fits wonderfully into the "Evil Older Woman" role that you see in Disney's evil stepmothers and certain Sailor Moon episodes. And I think the connection to these super shoujo, girly tropes really made a lot of my friends (male and female) who woke up with shoujo anime on Saturday mornings excited about the gender-swapped episode. It was really cool, because it just played on nostalgia from a different genre. And I think that's part of why the people on this thread are responding less well to the SDCC clip than the actual concept art--the concept art was straight up shoujo girly cartoon tropes. And the thing about shoujo and the Western girl-oriented shows that I watched growing up was that *setting* was integral to that genre and type of story-telling--fashion, glamour, a focus on emotion and drama. Without that frilliness and saccharine-ness in the background to set off the nostalgia buttons, it doesn't register to older viewers. You still have the character designs, but without the genre's traditional setting, the actual animation and story just doesn't borrow much from those cartoons. Although "Oh no, super baddie is gonna crash our party!" was a pretty common episode plot now that I think about it... Anyway, I do think that deviation from traditional shoujo settings is why older fans like me are so much less enthusiastic about the clips. This occurred to me when I was thinking about how the latest episode of Adventure Time would work really well as a shoujo-influenced gender-swap episode. It just feels like a plot I've seen before, where a pure-hearted heroine has to learn to understand a bad boy's insecurities to save him from himself. legsarerequired fucked around with this message at Jul 26, 2011 around 23:50 |

Fuckin' hell man. The gender swap concept is fine on paper. It was always going to be strange/cool to hear the gender swapped voices. It just that after seeing that clip it appears that some of the gender swapped characters seem to have been written entirely differently to their respective opposites. You could argue that Finn and Jake are mainly driven by childhood innocence, among other things. But Fiona seems to feel like a different character, like a more grown up more level-headed teen girl with much less rowdy stupidness. I don't even know what to think of Cake. I personally just expected that gender should be fairly interchangeable to characters within the concept of childhood. It has nothing to do with people who didn't grow up watching shoujo girly anime girl power tropes shoujo shoujo shoujo tropey trope trope like you did. But seriously, Sailor Moon and Card Captors? HAHA. Why would you even admit this? I grew up in an era where they marketed at kids like crazy, but at least it was cool poo poo like Ninja Turtles.

It's worth mentioning that she's a girl, so she isn't quite as weird and creepy as it would be if it was a guy sperging about sailor moon. It's still weird though.

No, it is still just as weird. Please don't get your anime mixed up with our Adventure Time. Character archetypes are everywhere, not just in Sailor Moon or whatnot.

Goddamn this really is the best show. Marceline and Ash are like every college-dropout couple I know. Ash and his casual emotional abuse are great, I hope we see more of him. It's been said over and over, but this show succeeds so well at appealing to completely different demographics without pandering to one or the other. So loving gratifying to see how well it's been received by both viewers and the network.

Isn't Finn something like 12 or 13 years old? Thats an age where a lot of boys will have just started puberty but girls will have already been going through it for a while. It makes sense if you think about it that way.

I think my favorite part of the latest episode was the child Marceline and the fries memory, just because we got to see the post-apocalypse at a much earlier time than is usually shown. I mean, the kid memory had like, highways still on fire and stuff. Also interesting to see Finn's childhood home. I know the show is mostly silly, but there's some neat backstory and stuff that I like seeing and would like to see more of.
