Adventure Time Thread: It’s Over, Isn’t It?

[Abserdia]

It seems that there isn't a thread about AT, which made me sad. So now there is. So, let's talk about the newest episode, Orgalorg.

That was crazy.

Gunter turned out to be a god of some sorts, who was battled by Glob and the Ob crew after some mistakes made by Gunter.
After that, he fell down to Earth, and the gravity changed his body into that of a penguin. He seemed to fall down around the time humans began settling, and all the way up to the current events of AT.

When I saw this in my "View your Posts" thing, I nearly had a heart attack.

If I'd known it existed we would have gotten this thing up to a hundred pages by now.

[Abserdia]

Well, Stakes.

It's... I don't have anything to say about it. It was sad, and we see the return of Rebecca Sugar on the AT team again.

Also, did anyone think that the little girl in the human tribe looked like Susan a bit?

Without Pen and Sugar there's been a big decline in quality. I'm hoping that with the success of Stakes they'll keep consulting with Sugar. If not I hope they can maintain something close to the quality of the miniseries they put out.

I agree. The tribe was probably the ancestors of the Hyoomans.

Did anyone see the Easter eggs in the latest BMO episodes?

Did anyone see the Easter eggs in the latest BMO episodes?

By "anyone" I believe you mean me.

No, I didn't. What were they?

No, I didn't. What were they?

In the flashbacks with Mo it had the superweapons used by the Fire Kingdom in the corner meaning Mo created those weapons for the FK.

Also we now know how long AT takes place after Adventure Time. "A hundred hundred years."

That means Mo and his Mo bots have been around at least 10,000 years.

But at the cost of Steven Universe

I'm ok with that as long as this is the last season of AT.

Anyone read Bogleech's take on the mini-series? I watched a few episodes of adventure time seasons 5 and 6, and a few of them were still pretty fun and good, the rest did feel pretty weak and less fun. Anyone wonder why Regular Show hasn't gone as downhill? I guess the creator didn't quit that show.

Shows just lose their creative drive after a while I guess. One advantage animes based off of printed material ( mangas ) have over western animation it seems.

Yeah. One thing people tend to forget about the 2000s in animation is that the first third of the decade was actually pretty good and the second third was ok. The final third was really where things went sour. Heck, I like chowder and flapjack.

And keeping an international perspective it's not so bad. There was zombie hotel, school for vampires, ruby gloom, the secret show and many more around the world in the middle and latter half of the decade. I think the 2010s may be remembered as another bad period in animation history if the established hits (Adventure time, regular show, MLP:FiM) go downhill, and we don't have good cartoon shows released in the USA as well as the rest of the world (I live in the UK BTW)

Eh, I feel like this half decade has been amazing, and it overshadow any awful cartoons in the next half decade. GF, SU, AT, RS, MLP heck, even shows like Gumball, all those shows have huge fanbases and craze reviews. So I don't think the 2010's will be known as part of the "Cartoon Dark Ages". Instead, it'll be known as the "Cartoon New Age".

No, it's a freaking HUGE DIAMOND THAT COSTS MORE THAN THE EARTH
IT'S THE GREATEST SHOW

I LOVE OTGW



But I do agree. This era is filled with cartoon gems.
For example, Steven Universe.

Guess I can see what you guys are saying. AT is actually the only one that still seems to be declining in quality. Both MLP:FiM and RS are thought to have suffered seasonal rot (in season 3 for FiM and Season 4 for RS), but the later seasons of both returned to quality. While AT on the other hand, both seasons 5 & 6 were thought to be worse than the quality set by s1-4. I'm not sure about season 7 (the current season), but Stakes seems pretty popular. Maybe AT is improving as well. Who knows.

I really liked OTGW too BTW.

Season 7's pretty good so far and I think people are getting used to the changes in AT.

Yeah. AT should still probably end soon so it doesn't eventually end with a horrible reputation (at least for the later seasons) like sponge bob and fairly odd parents. It's unfortunate that Pendelton Ward says he never wants to make another TV show again as he found working on adventure time too stressful in the end and quit being showrunner. I thought maybe he could do a miniseries.

But about this new cartoon age: say what you want about 2000s animation, but at least there was variety in it. An issue with cartoons nowadays is that they all look very similar if not the same. While I do generally like a lot of modern cartoons, I just wish that we could have some variety in the art styles again. Is that too much to ask? Well written, popular, critically acclaimed cartoons with unique visual styles?

Eh it's not a big issue for me considering we keep getting quality cartoons. Variance in art style would be nice but since it looks good anyways... *Shrug*

Also Adventure Time WILL be ending after season 7 and I believe will be getting a movie after that.

Also Pen did write a miniseries which I think is even better then AT. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nv99gj1xxWw

going through your sentences in order:
1.well, another thing is the various other sacrifices we've made in other animation traditions. There's a lack of more serious action-adventure cartoons, which the AT-inspired art style isn't exactly the best choice for. The major cartoon channels (Cartoon Network, Nickelodeon, Disney XD) action shows were heavily screwed over: DC Nation, The Legend of Korra, TRON: Uprising and Motorcity. The shutting down of Vortexx also played a part in its downfall. Action-adventure shows tend to be more comedic and/or based on major franchises now (e.g. Ben 10 Omniverse, TMNT 2012, Transformers Prime, Transformers Robots in Disguise, Adventure time, Steven Universe, Star Wars: Rebels). Speaking of Vortexx, Saturday morning Cartoons no longer exist in the USA. Horror-comedy cartoons have also died back in popularity a bit.

2. Hopefully it will. I hope it's not another Spongebob scenario, where the network resurrects the show after the movie at the expense of quality, until 7 years later the creator starts work on a comic series that has the quality of the earlier seasons and a few years after that the original creator returns and makes a movie again at the same level of quality as the earlier seasons and the newer seasons start being enjoyed by the older fanbase again EDIT: Actually, there is going to be an 8th season

3.Oh, yeah I knew about Bravest Warriors, but I thought it was an ongoing series.

I think that's more a choice of the creators rather then an affect of the art style though it's possible that the art style itself has had the effect you described.

God damn it. Where'd you hear about this 8th season?

It's a webseries which I believe Pen prefers as it doesn't really have a set schedule he has to stay to.

1. Well I got it from what this guy said. While I do enjoy RS and AT (at least the older seasons of AT), WBB & MLP:FiM , and I know a lot of people say modern cartoons are better or the best, I do wonder whether the sacrifices we've made along the way are really worth it. At least there's Kix in the UK for Action cartoons.

2. Wikipedia, backed up here. Hopefully that'll be the last one (or at least the penultimate one) dealing with the aftermath of the events of the movie. Doesn't CN have a contract limit on how many seasons/episodes a show can have (at least they used to)?

3. Okay. Has a second season been made?
