Does Adventure Time ever do anything with Finn losing his arm again after Beezy? Because that's when I fell off. It made it feel like the show wasn't committing to its story. I think the last one I did watch was the one where Finn and Flame Princess talked about their relationship, which was actually pretty good.

Mighty Magiswords has not gotten any less manic from the preview episode. Edit: I want to like this show really bad, but the pace is just incoherent. Waffleman_ fucked around with this message at 23:41 on Sep 29, 2016 |

I kind of like Adventure Time's balls to be bizarre and unentartaining and artsy, but at this point it feels like it can't do anything like that anymore and still be meaningful or surprising. Like I actually like them going against what's "cool" and turning a death avatar into a baby and stuff like that. But it's like... enough. I'm tired of how they handle drama, of all the depressed characters, and in general how Adventure Time characters talk.

I guess I can kind of get just being sick of it, I just really appreciate how the people making it keep trying their damndest to keep it fresh. It feels like every episode they're trying to show me a different thing that can happen in Ooo, and I like that they experiment even if it doesn't always work. It was never not going to be at least 8 seasons, it just made too much money for CN, and it's still not really like anything else you can watch. I really liked the episodes many people mentioned not liking ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ so maybe what do I know.

In retrospect, my favorite thing about Foster's was seeing my mom descend into hysterics when I explained that the blue blob was named Bloo. And that the basketball friend was named Wilt.

Foster's was one of those shows with a great concept and an amazing pilot movie, but then almost immediately descending into crap once the first season began, due to them making Bloo an insufferable jackass, not to mention like a lot of shows of the period they jammed in too much cynicism into the show, making it an utter misery to watch in most episodes

Every time Mac almost lost him I just kept hoping now he'd be able to let him go. I see a lot of codependency in Mac's future.

Foster's was the first flash animated show that I can remember. And I remember really hating it. The animation, I mean. Though the show wasn't that great either. As mentioned, Bloo was an irredeemable douche. It was also the show that elevated Grey Delise to VA stardom, and put her in every goddamned cartoon since.

But you're right overall. Just to be clear, she's a fine VA and all, it's just that she's so drat oversaturated in everything.

I assume people in charge of shows think it's easier to grab established talent rather than going searching for someone else. Tara Strong and Delise are kind of established in the industry by this point. I do admire the Steven Universe crew going the extra mile in finding some incredible unknowns (excluding Estelle and Patti Lupone)

Honestly, I'd say that for most of Tara's modern roles. God, her Harley Quinn. She was fine as Paz in Peace Walker, though.

Then it was clear that the people making it thought suffering was funny, and made all the other episodes look bad in retrospect. They're really not bad though. They're not like Teen Titans Go, which was funny for a few days and then you wanted them to tell a new joke. Any new joke. Bottom line, you can't say Foster's sucks and then praise TTG. It's one or the other. It is Cartoon Law.

I will always love Foster's for one scene in one episode that I can't find a clip of but it basically consists of Mac and Bloo doing the classic two kids in a trenchcoat bit trying to bust up a date that Frankie's on and Bloo (as the top half) loses the fake mustache he's wearing, so to recover it he goes "excuse me" in a hilarious voice and bends at a 90 degree angle to stare at his midsection and talk to Mac. Anyway that's my story, I liked the show a lot.

Mac was really, really uptight for a kid who kept his imaginary friend when almost every other kid moved on and spends his days ina magical house of wonderment. It kind of makes sense if theme of the show was about growing up and leaving childish things behind, except I don't think that's what the writers intended. I can't explain why I feel that, though.
