The muddy snake thing from The Limit

The one who mercilessly exploded a hot dog knight who said "I wish to blow up... I mean like GET BIG-"

That wish WAS stupid, but like... Prismo would have hesitated and listened

I mean the guy on the right wasn't even a monkey's paw kind of wish granter. The wishes he granted pretty cleanly followed common sense, he couldn't even prevent a wish he thought was unfair (using a wished-in creature to make an additional wish).

It's just most of the wishes made in that episode were extraordinarily stupid.

Who's on the right again?

I've tried it for 5-6 episodes and it is not really working for me. The animation style is so incoherent between the backgrounds and characters at times, looks just weird.

The art was always a big thing for me in Adventure Time and this just looks like a cheap rip-off.

The stories mostly rehash similar storylines of old Adventure Time. After the second episode going into Ice King stealing princesses I just had enough. Boring.

And now I saw they already released a second season? Dang.

This could be fun, but I'm surprised it'll be on Disney Plus. If anything could revive Cartoon Network, I would have thought it would have been Adventure Time

Yeah and honestly Fionna and cake is written by the original people so thats why its so good. This is decidedly not that.

I just don't really see the point when the spinoff is successful. Don't Finn and Jake already make appearances in that?

I'm actually less worried about that and more worried about the purpose of this in general. At first AT didnt seem to have much besides silliness, but it found a great stride, found things to say, and was a great show that ended when it meant to. This kind of feels like Mr Krabs after that soda pop hat.

I'll reserve judgement but Finn's new voice actor has some big shoes to fill, too.

Kinda weary about this ngl. They had a reason for ending the original when they did and this kinda feels like its disrespecting that just a little.

I take it this means that this will be in the original show's continuity, rather than the Fionna and Cake one?

Mathematical!

Yeah. Seriously genuinely great. Same with the Distant Lands and Fionna and Cake spinoffs.

They're not as silly and whimsical as the earlier seasons, but they're still good. More focus on the characters' relationships, more saving the universe.

Wait, comics? Or episodes?

Good to hear!

A masterpiece lol

I'd say it's one of the few long running shows that actually got better in their later seasons

How were the later seasons of Adventure Time?

It's definitely continuous in tone with the last seasons of AT, which is why I think it's an Adam Muto thing. But it feels like it's turned into Doctor Who. (Or what I imagine Doctor Who to be now; I haven't actually watched in a while.) Like, it's fine when you have a world with no rules as to what's possible (because of magic and/or advanced science) if that world is silly, but it makes it hard to generate dramatic stakes if every obstacle is magic bullshit and every solution is also magic bullshit.

FC isn’t trying to be AT though. That’s why it works.

I agree, I guess I'm just lamenting that it doesn't work as well for me.

FC isn't trying to be AT though. That's why it works.

The universe, and writing, has matured with the fans. So many shows like this use a spin-off as a excuse to reset that and appeal primarily and often only to kids again.

An example that comes to mind is Clone Wars season 7 leading into Star Wars Rebels, and the tonal shift is just unbearable.

Man, I was a few episodes into Season 2 of F&C and I made the mistake of watching a season 2 episode of the original series. It was a breath of fresh air. It was the sillyness that got me into AT, and it's hit me how much that's missing in the newer stuff.
I don't know much about how production worked, but I suspect it's a Pendleton Ward vs. Adam Muto thing.

Huntress only appears in a couple episodes of AT proper. Her main appearance is the one in Fionna and Cake.

You don't really need to have seen every episode of AT to enjoy FC.

I've missed a lot of AT.
