I sort of wish Finn got to be a little better at drawing.

yo

Hope you guys enjoy Islands! All the animatics, first look, and cover art have been uploaded to the Mega folder as well. Catch you next time!

My opinions are pure and correct so here are my thoughts on the first 3 so far. Overall I think this miniseries is way stretched for time but it's not bad for longform Adventure Time.

>EPISODE 1
Pleasant to watch. But I think it makes too big a deal out of saying goodbye. Really makes it clear how little Finn and Jake actually explore, how close they stick to home. I can understand Finn needing somebody to cover for him but all this emotion?

>Jake smash made me laugh - in general Jake was funny
>BMO had a good light role, that's how it should be
>I could almost believe PB was truly worried about Finn, that part was done alright
>storyboarding is notably good -- drawing/composition looks fresh and not stiff


>EPISODE 2
Pointless episode to fill some time, but funny enough. Doesn't look terrible for Xayaphone, but not drawn as nice as the previous.

>I love how Jake can navigate -- it's great when he has hidden traits to take care of Finn
>Finn's sudden tears at the end were appropriate, I'm glad they allowed that

Things that made me laugh
>"whipple you suck so much"
>"I don't wanna be the boat tho..." "welp..."
>"Sorry for telling you you're annoying..or sorry for not telling you you were annoying earlier...?"


>EPISODE 3
Slow as hell just for the movie at the end. But Finn's talking to himself the whole time was cute enough ("rut ro" annoyed me though, 21st century cultural references reeee).

>that beautiful sketch of Jake
made me laugh. who drew it?

True cartoon Kino. Loved every bit. Made stakes look like shit. Needed less hamfisted faggot shit but other than that great. I mean, it even showed how much of a piece of shit PB is.

Just finished watching it all/ That was literally miles better than Stakes, holy shit. And I even thought Stakes was pretty good.

Other than a few quibbles here and there I utterly loved all of it. I am floored how the show can make episodes as boring as last night's but then do an hour and a half of that shit. Ending came a little too fast but it was still great.

I really am floored how it was so good, holy fuck. As someone who adores the early seasons this is probably something that ranks right up there with them, but in a different way. It was like modern AT but actually done right.

Oh, and it redeemed Martin. Who would have thought, right?

>mfw every episode was pretty good at worst
>mfw I have no face since it's been literal years since AT has been thins good

gee wiz I tell ya.

Have a good life guy, you deserve it.

I've jerked off to worse.

I'm on the fence about that. Martin was fun because he was such a scoundrel, making him a misguided rouge (at worst) sort of takes some of the coolness away.

Billy knew Martin, so he most likely made it to Ooo. Everyone probably knew the two were related since they were the only two known humans on the continent and Martin would've been telling everyone he was looking for his kid. And if this unused storyboard still has any merit he was a hero while looking for Finn before committing or getting framed for a cosmic crime.

What if nobody helped baby Finn when he was stuck to the leaf because they didn't want to be associated with Martin?

Someone last thread said that Modern Love playe at some point in Islands? When was that, I must have missed it.

But if that's true then PB or Marcy would definitely know about Martin.

When did Finn get a robot arm?

After the season 7 finale, got it in the two episodes that aired yesterday.

PB gave it to him between the events of the last episode of S7 and the first episode of S8.

so are we all just gonna act like the backstory with how Martin and Finn left isn't sad as hell? Also, any reason why the mom never asked Finn about Martin?

honestly I saw no redemption, he was just the same ol' martin. I mean, we knew he probably had semi-noble things in mind at some point.. but was ultimately selfish. He cares about his kid because it's HIS kid and he cares about himself. Plus he seemed not to remember it anyway so it's not like he was a sociopath about it. This flashback just showed us martin has always been martin

It's kind of hard to focus on any specific part with it all airing at once

except that was lich-billy
and that storyboard was tossed out because it made no sense
yeahh there is definitely a hole here. joshua and margaret know the name finn, i assume they had some contact with susan before her implant got damaged
god i wanna go back and rewatch all the susan episodes now

He wan't redeemed at all. He will still a asshole at heart, if he really cared, he would have bothered looking for his son or going back to the island with his wife.

this so fucking hard. why do they do this?
it's been ridiculous trying to be a voltron fan right now. what am i supposed to talk about? all of it at once?
I feel like I'm sitting around fucking starving to the point of being nauseous, then binge eating because this is all the food there's going to be for a year.

which .. i am actually doing for real, like one big binge a day, but that's because my appetite is all fucked up on these meds.

Haven't watched since the first season and the Lich arc separately, is it worth trying to rewatch and catch up then watch this?

Real Billy still knew about Martin, he's the one that told Finn his dad was alive in the actual show.

Really dude? That means that like you've only watched like, fucking 10% of the show at most. There's so much you're missing out on if you just jump into it, but you could if you want I guess.

I wouldn't really recommend it but I guess the alternative is watching fucking 180 episodes at once so it's up to you.

ah right, true. hmm.
yeah I guess PB was just too busy to hear about human stuff.. you DO hear occasional references to like 'yeah there were stories of humans here or there' so possibly every so often people escaped the island and came to ooo, but got killed

I'm so happy the Islands title cards were interesting, Stakes was boring as fuck.
It was a great decision focusing on landscapes.

absolutely dude. adventure time is a top quality show. whyd you stop?
youre in for a fantastic ride, man

How old is finn now?

16 going on 17

All he needs to do is hit the 1 8 and grow more assertive and he can fuck anyone he wants in Ooo

So this really did help convince me that, beside the writing being noticeably better on basically every front (how they do that) AT would vastly benefit from Finn and Jake doing more stuff like having adventures and going to distant lands. Ooo is just dried up man, been fucking almost 7 years. They gotta spread out.

Islands was so good but I'm almost sad because of that since we;ll be going back to the regular show after. It was beautiful seeing them head off into the land man.

17 i think. 16 or 17.
yeah he's a manlet. it's official now. dude's a head shorter than his own mom

>dried up
>theyve barely gone to a fifth of the major areas on the map
naw man naw.
but yeah this was.. this was something we needed. now the show can basically do whatever it wants for its last two seasons, and it will be okay. we got finn's backstory, we got susan's, we got the whole human thing.. and most of all we know WHY ooo and the human archipelago are so separate

Isn't he used goods after his encounter with LSP?

>Finn draws Susan with honkin tits
There's definitely some naughty stuff going on in his brain, I tell ya.

That just makes it worse, the show has interesting lands they could use but they prefer to have Finn and Jake bum around the Candy Kingdom for the 120th episode and counting.

It's like Islands contained all the adventurous "umph" that could have and should have been in the show all along, or something.

But yeah, agree with everything else. I still sort of wish this was finale material because all the rest of the show is gonna seem lamer in comparison.

Says my quota has been reached on MEGA, anyone have any other way to see?

he probably cried, doesn't count.

I thought all the flashbacks to previous episodes were sort of weird. Didn't really fit well but at least you can interpret them as happening from Finn's point of view, and we only saw them how they were because fuck that would be a lot of new animation to make.

A little annoyed there was like nothing from season 4 and earlier. That part of the show still exists Adventure Time, and it was fucking great, respect it man.

>we know WHY ooo and the human archipelago are so separate
We've known about the Sea of Sure Death since a couple of months after the first episode came out.

Why isn't there any porn of Finn's mom yet?

Forgot pic, it's been around since 2010

So Finn guessed Susan's name right completely by accident?

im glad they made my boy martin right.
everything else was fine.
susan being gay didnt bother me but i thought her backstory was better than the resolve

No. I want my /ss/ NOW DAMMIT!

Her real name is Kara

Man I want to talk so badly but my brain is fucking fried from all of it being so fast, I feel like this wasn't as bad with Stakes. Probably because this was considerably better.

It was mostly pointless, but man the virtual world in episode 4 was fucking nifty. Probably gonna be my favorite episode of the whole thing just for cool/fun factor.

i can explain everything:
bad writing.
there.thats all you need.now lets pretend there isnt any plot holes and enjoy the rest.

I wonder if his obsession with how much she smells was him smelling something else. something that hits him deeper than usual because it's his own species, that he's never smelled before
ignore that, try again

the island where only 1 woman was alive was bad.
the one with bmo too.
the rest was good or ok.

uh, that has nothing to do with knowing why human shit is separate, dude.
technically there is, of the farmworld version of her. In retrospect I forgot that of course his real mom will look like her.

I think what happened is, sometime offscreen, she referred to herself as 'strong', half-remembering her old codename
she was babbling 'suh.. son..' because her mission was to find minerva's son
she presumably also leaked finn's name at some point
what I dont get is when finn found out his last name was mertens. did martin tell him offscreen?

I really do wonder how Finn (and Jake) were just so fun and likable and interesting in Islands. I don't even usually think they're bad or anything, but they were great all throughout this thing. I even thought that episode which was basically Finn talking to himself the entire time was fun and charming.

Is it really a stagnation thing? Everything was so new that it breathed new life into the guys, let Finn and Jake bounce off interesting stuff better?

>susan isnt allowed to have any good friends or she's gay
that's really screwy, guy. it's because of you people cant have close friends. theyre worried theyll look gay
it was such a damn believable world too. plus it kinda fits in, you could see that as being a splitoff of the main city, using some of the same tech

Is anyone else having problems with the mega?

In the alternate reality world his name was Mertens, so I guess Jake told him after that was resolved.

A very lazy reason but it seems to be the one they went with.

We saw Susan for the last time

You mean Susan's fem musk? That's pretty likely, actually, he's been behind her large and shapely rear loads of times. And squeezed by her.

Stay gold seeker girl.

AT resolved Susan, holy shit. Literally never thought I would see the day.

Will PB create a stronger connection to the island Minerva lives on so Finn can see her in VR or Bring a Minervabot to Finn?

I'm hoping that's the case since the humans said they eventually do want to get off the islands after all

Jake probably told him, he was watching Farmworld with Prismo and Cosmic Owl.

Possible.
But I don't know, just PB doing it sounds really boring. She has her hands in everything in this show, I'd like it if this was something she had nothing to do with.

Honestly, they didn't look gay to me. Just good friends.

Not wanting Finn to see his mum anymore

You monster

...

Where's the link for people that want to watch it for free?

Hey man, making a yearly boat ride there and back isn't that big a deal.

I just want less "Princess Bubblegum is responsible for everything that happened in AT's setting and she's so smart she can fix humanity's problem because they were too dumb to do it themselves and isn't she so great look how wonderful she is" shit.

was I the only one losing my shit at bmo this whole time? best way the show's used bmo in literal years.

>ignore that, try again
I try but I'm getting the same message, anyone have an idea of how to get around it?

You're not the only one. This episode was pure gold.

Cmon man building a satellite connection from Ooo to there doesn't seem that bad.

Both happy that the robot arm seems permanent now (AT I swear to fucking god if you back out of it again) but sad that it's sort of just lame looking.
I was hoping it would be considerably cooler, but I just really appreciate that it exists at all.

Anyone have links for the previous season 8 episodes?

Anyone else happy he included Huntress Wizard in his memoried when his Mom went to search his thoughts?

I'll support the creators like Pen supported Bravest Warriors.

You know what, that actually isn't as bad as I was making it out to be, true.

I don't know though man, I feel like the show could use a considerable slow down on the Bubblegum fellatio.

mega in general is a piece of shit. I'm really lucky it worked great for me today, got all eight episodes right away, plus a bravest warriors on another mega.
i'm hoping someone will quickly add this to toonova, watchcartoon, etc

Everytime I see it I always think it's unexpectedly gonna turn into a grappling hook or an arm cannon or a drill. I hope I'm not getting hype for nothing.

does that follow, though? i'm sure jake told him about it but there was no particular reason to adopt it himself and less than no reason it turned out to be accurate. Hell I thought the whole point of the alternate universe is like "in this timeline, people would actually have last names, unlike today"

I think so as well, but this would be one act of kindness that would be welcomed by the most of the community even if they've been at her taint fir the past season or two.

It would be nice if we could get some connection for sure.
i like how the VR thing was set up beforehand, so it wasnt just 'she's data now, this is the only way he can see her, here's some input out of nowhere'

BMO was fantastic
I like how you think
ctrl-f mega, my good pineapple
wait, what? oh... uh.. maybe this is real, not just that error message about 'out of memory'.. because that error message is persistent but meaningless

i just thought of something, I hope someone goes and picks up that old lady and takes her back to civilization

also, so.. in just 16 years, this disease wiped out their entire oppressive society, replaced with just apathy? i was really surprised they didnt still have implants.

I think similarly but there's really no other way around it. I think he used it before there was any opportunity that Martin could have told him.

It seems to be a thing where Finn heard it and even though he had no reason to apply it to himself he did. Maybe to feel more normal and human like.

Also, am I alone on groaning every time Finn uses his last name? Mertens is such a shitty name fit for a sleaze like Martin but not for a cool dude like Finn, "Finn the Human" is so much better despite the now existing lore stuff around it.
He'll always be Human in my heart.

I think a lot of people are clicking Download All when the animatics are 3.3gb. If they save just the episodes they can get everything with bandwith left over.

I was expecting his doctor mom to fix his arm up with a nice bio-clone implant
if theyre going to let him be offmodel, can he please get taller and grow his moustache back in now (if BMO hasnt already destroyed the follicles) ??

you are severely overestimating the power he holds
i'd love some attachments for sure. we'll probably see that he has them in the timeskip ending.

Man honestly I don't know if I want to trade the robo arm for Finn physically maturing, I've wanted both for so long.
I think you gotta go with Finn looking older though since it's so damn long overdue.

In my prefect shitty fanfic version of Islands it was basically all the same only Finn was at this point in the show a little taller than his mom, and she noticed this and got super hype over it.

yeah mertens was like, perfect for boring farmer folk in the boring timeline..
when martin showed up I was like 'oh I see, like mertens, haha, because in that other timeline..'
i don't think finn had used it before martin showed up, but before martin had a chance to TELL him yeah, since he didnt spend appreciable time with him until 'all the little people'

They met in the season 6 opener but it's not like there was any time for Martin to say "Bye the way son your last name is Mertens now fuck off so I can get out of here," and later on in Dentist Finn totally used the name Mertens. Or technically I think the Finn sword used it, but that's still basically Finn.

So it had to be the alt univ.

My mom died when I was 4, and don't misunderstand.

It's not something I ever want to talk about.

But these episodes... Man.

It's nice to feel things you've forgotten behind you.

Good shit.

...

I wasn't implying trading, I was saying the one means there's no longer any excuse not to do the other. getting one should mean getting both
and yeah minerva's a sweetie, but even MORE mom-affection would have been great. still, she's out of practice, having spent her entire motherhood separated from her kid and uploaded into a computer system
i like how finn asked if she was really real or just a copy, and she didnt know

dude,theyre gay.its adventure time.they are gay.

faggot
