Started re-watching Adventure Time

Started re-watching Adventure Time......

WHAT THE FUCK HAPPEN? how did the show turn into the shit pile it has become? Has Pen's autism prevented him from having any say in how things are done?

pen left the show ages ago and only comes back to voice lsp

I honestly think seasons 5+ are better than 1-3. I loved the old episodes at the time but I have a hard time rewatching them.

But who was lack of awesome songs?

Some checked out after season 3.

A LOT of people either checked out either at Frost & Fire, Breezy, or somewhere along the lines of Bubbline pushing. These elements are like repellent for fans.

Most people left when after Sugar left because Sugar is the one that brought them to the show with her Marceline episodes.

Some stay but left when the other writers failed to live up to her standard of lore and drama. The last of the Lorefags left when they the show didn't do whan they thought it would do with Finn's arm. Any fan left is either here to see the end of the cartoon or to fap to the off-model porn.

The show is better that it was in previous seasons but I am not going to pretend that Pen shouldn't have let anyone play so loose with the show and ruining elements of his world that should have remained a mystery at least longer than it was.

>The show is better that it was in previous seasons
you best not be talking about all previous seasons

Adventure Time is a good example of how subtlety with lore can be more effective than pushing it into your face. Also the writing was basically the staff looking at what people speculated might be going on and going back and putting it into the series while simultaneously trying to keep things loose enough that they could do whatever they wanted to. Then you had the pointless shipping stuff that would never go away.

>Sugar is the one that brought them to the show with her Marceline episodes
These episodes ruined Marceline. Sugar ruined Finn and Ice King too.

The second it started focusing on avant garde 2deep4u garbage story like the lemons and a lot of other shit they ruined the show. It was always better as finn and jake getting into adventures and the supporting cast tagging along. Also episodes focusing solely on side characters without any of finn or jake was a mistake.

I am talking about seasons 5 and 6 which did it's best to shake off the lorefags who clung to the show. At least that is what I assumed they were doing.

Yep. Ice King in particular was ruined as the comedy villain and pretty much stopped chasing princesses and became Marceline's weird uncle

>Sugar ruined Ice King

Holly Jolly Secrets wasn't Sugar's doing.

Didn't Sugar do the whole "Ice King raised Marceline" thing?

Adventure Time has a habit of throwing in really stupid moral dilemmas at at the end of major storylines, often replacing an actual climax by posing Finn a nonsense question about life.

Like in The Comet, where Finn's moral quandary at the climax was whether or not HE SHOULD TRANSCEND HIS PHYSICAL FORM TO BECOME ONE WITH THE COSMOS FOR ALL ETERNITY IN ORDER TO DO AWAY WITH EMOTIONS AND LOSS. Of all things, THAT'S his moral dilemma. Fuck.

I think they can play the philosophical angle well when they just use it in one-off episodes. Hall of Egress was one of my favorite episodes.

bum

She expanded on it with Simon and Marcy(one of the only good episodes about ice king's past) but the original concept was done by someone else.

This, I think season 7 was the best so far.

Nostalgia: the post
Why do you faggots act like Pendleton Ward is the god that brings everything in the show you guys love? It's a team of writters and different storyboarders that provided you episodes that we enjoyed. You know those creepy close-up faces Finn used to have? Thank Bert Youn for that. The last episode Pen storyboarded was "Bad Timing," the episode where LSP goes beserk to get that blue guy, Ugly Johnny, from loving PB. That episode was utter shit I have no idea why you guys praise him. He has barely storyboarded 8 episodes, out of 238 that have aired. Pen is still the executive producer you fucking dumbass, of course he still has a say. Pen stepped down as showrunner because he doesn't want to deal with people because he is a shut-in. Adam Muto is the show runner now, and he is an amazing contributor to the show, but now he is the one that speaks for the show, he doesn't control the entire thing.

He still writes episodes and provides insight.

This claim holds no ground, if you would look at the talkback threads the amount of replies is around 500-600 in 2012. The same in talkbacks for season 7. It caps at the peak of AT's popularity I Remember You/The Lich. 700+ replies. Even after the episodes you mentioned, there is no indication of declining reply count after those episodes. What happened is people stopped watching, and pointed to controversies as a reason why they left.

Pick related is in the ending credits for the season 7 episode "The Music Hole."
