That episode was hilarious. So many great lines. The one about food items procreating in tiny beds was pretty out there.

That was a pretty crazy episode. It has a different feel to it when they're allowed to go the whole 22 minutes. I really want an Adventure Time movie, now. At least a made-for-TV one. I think they have a universe legitimately interesting enough to scale up to a much longer running time. It's pretty strange they chose to permanently change PB's character so she could be an actual love interest to Finn. I wonder what Ice King will do if he's not trying to kidnap her anymore.

Reading Mr. Muto's Formspring I think I read some spoilers about PB's age for those who are curious: Some kid said something about reading storyboards and seeing that she'll be back to her normal age again eventually. I feel like they'll do an episode where Finn and PB l-l-likeeachotheralot, but then they get the gum to make her normal again and it's a bittersweet moment. If the series goes on long enough, though, I can see older-Finn marrying the princess and becoming king. This might be uncomfortably close to fanfiction....

Megera posted:I have a friend who works on Regular Show who told me about this. Apparently the crews go to a deli to watch Adventure Time and Regular Show, but they always have them turn the volume down when Mad comes on and talk about other things. So they didn't even know about the segment until someone told them the next morning. That makes this kind of funny. I would watch a reality TV show about the drama and cliques of the CartoonNetwork staff. I don't understand their dig at AT, though. Are they saying Marvel dialogue is more clever than AT, or that AT's quality has gone down over time, or what. I don't get it.

I feel so stupid for not getting the ending until I came in here and read about it. I'm as oblivious as Finn and Jake. I think the episode was weird because it was a more serious one, but not in a world-building way like Susan Strong or The Lich King. Both episodes this season have been kind of dark, actually. Ketchup massacre... Next week's episode preview looked pretty promising. Bass Bottles fucked around with this message at Jul 19, 2011 around 18:20 |

The ghosts were all best bros like Finn and Jake who had fallen for the Fight King's trick and killed each other. When they fought Finn, they would all cry and beg forgiveness from seemingly random people, who the end of the episode revealed to be their best bros/fellow gladiator ghosts.

Is the gender-swapped episode 11 minutes or 22? Seems almost unfortunate if it's only 11 minutes. I'm really excited for it. At first I didn't like Fiona's voice, but its grown on me. People seem to be expecting her to just be a female Finn, but I think they're extending the "everything is opposite" motif to the characters' personalities, as well. So it makes sense for her to be less cocky and overconfident.

If standards and practices had any problems with the content of the episode they would have requested changes during the storyboarding phase. I don't think it will get edited. Loved the episode. They should make this a yearly event.

E the Shaggy posted:That episode was loving amazing but yeah there's no way the date surprise sex bit makes air. I feel like you could have gotten away with the Fake Prince/Ice Queen closing the door, but it really hammers it home when Cake looks at Fionna's torn dress and just lunges at him screaming, "DON'T YOU TOUCH HER!" I'm pretty sure Standards and Practices reviews the storyboards before anything is actually animated, so they've most likely already okayed it. The TV-PG rating gives this show a lot more leeway than the TV-Y7 or TV-G rated shows CN has done in the past. That episode was even better than I'd hoped it would be.

Adventure Time has never been a progressive show, gender-wise. Almost all of the female characters are princesses who get kidnapped constantly. Even Princess Bubblegum, who is a scientific genius, is helpless against the Ice King. Marceline is strong and independent, but she's basically a "bad girl" stereotype. Finn, the hero, solves all his problems through violence, and is not a fan of learning. A lot of times the show will start to give a positive message, but pull back at the last second for a joke twist. The episode where a cow has a bag covering her ugly-udder is a good example of this. They tell her not to be ashamed, and to take the bag off. When she does, the forest animals are all disgusted and make her cover it back up. It's funny, but the satire is probably lost on the younger viewers. I think that sums up the entire series. These problems are in every episode, Fiona and Cake is just one more example. I love the show and thought the episode was great, but I can also see how it's problematic. It's sort of weird that Fiona has semi-realistic anatomy, while Finn is a pill with sticks for legs. Even Marceline isn't so sexualized. Bass Bottles fucked around with this message at Aug 25, 2011 around 16:17 |

Gangringo posted:Edit: Another great thing, Jake was essentially Bender for the whole episode. There were a couple lines that were unquestionably in Bender-voice. Even that Frederator video says that Marceline and Bubblegum are ex-lovers. I'm not sure how else you're supposed to interpret Marceline wanting to "drink the red from [PB's] pretty pink face" and then PB saying it was "distasteful." I don't think CN would really allow them to ever blatantly declare the show's characters as bisexual, though. I can see how some people might prefer the wacky war-elephant episodes, but I really like the ones that flesh out the world and characters. Not enough cartoons bother with that stuff, these days. In my mind, it's what separates the Pixars from the Dreamworks. \/\/\/ Yeah, that temporary music sounds way better than the final version in the episode.

Darth Windu posted:It surprised me too. But one of the comments stuck out at me as really cute. Something about being a very confused child, and how much a cartoon showing a same sex relationship would have helped her realize that it was okay for a lady to love another lady. A bunch of the comments on that video warm my heart, actually. But I'm not sure how I'd feel if they added it to the show. I'm looking forward to the day children's cartoons are allowed to have openly gay characters, but that day is not today

The Triumphant posted:But if we don't have characters in kids' cartoons openly discussing their sexual preferences, the bigots win! I don't mean to completely derail the thread with this, but I think this attitude is the problem. Finn has a crush on Princess Bubblegum. When she was 13, they dated. There was a wizard battle where a kiss from her was the prize. Jake is dating Lady Rainicorn. The gender-swapped episode had heavily implied sexuality. The show already has characters openly discussing their sexual preferences, you just don't notice because their preference is straight. This is exactly the attitude that including gay characters in cartoons is meant to fight. EDIT: Rainbow Princess

The Triumphant posted:I definitely recognize that, but the difference is that our society recognizes Finn wanting a kiss from Princess Bubblegum as "normal". We expect that in a narrative and it's pretty much a given that our hero will have a crush on the princess. If they just offhandedly mentioned that Marceline also wants to kiss Princess Bubblegum then that is going to start a shitstorm that the show doesn't need. Okay, yeah, sorry if it seemed like I jumped on you. I definitely get that with today's social climate, making an openly gay character would be suicide for the show. It's just that a lot of people really do think that acknowledging homosexuality in any way is "flaunting" it and inappropriate for children without realizing that heterosexuality is flaunted constantly, in everything, even children's shows.

I didn't really like the episode until the second half. 22 minute episodes should be big adventures, not bottles. It sort of had the same problem "What Was Missing" did, I can't imagine any kid actually sitting through it without getting bored. Even I was kind of bored until the surprise Ice King backstory, which was great. But the episode felt too self-indulgent. A bunch of great jokes spread out over way too much filler. That said, the episode was totally saved by the ending and BMO. BMO is the best side-character.

Oh, I had checked iTunes before and didn't even see the option for season 4. But actually, "Another Way", "Ghost Princess", "Dad's Dungeon", and "Incendium" are all being sold as part of the season 4 pass. That's incredibly stupid. I paid for the season 3 pass with the understanding that I would get all the season 3 episodes, but it turns out I'm not! And they jacked-up the price for the season 4 pass, too. What will win out, my love of Adventure Time or my bitterness at being ripped-off by iTunes? A war in my heart........

During the scene where (real) Finn meets Flame Princess for the first time I finally realized how amazing this show's audio is. They have a bunch of short little musical clips that give the scene lots of punch, especially when her hair goes all "firey" and she dashes out the window. I've gone back to watch other episodes while paying attention to this, and wow. Really great music!

I hate to be a downer, but I don't really love the "main" story in the comic. It has so many callbacks and catchphrases that it feels more like fanfiction than official Adventure Time media. Characters seem slightly off, and the Lich probably shouldn't talk so much. In the show he felt like a special villain in a special super episode, in the comics he's just a more-competent Ice King. I love Dinosaur comics, though. I think Ryan North just needs some time to get comfortable writing in the AT universe. It definitely shows promise. I love the shorter side-stories at the end of each issue, especially with the varying art styles.
