I JUST WATCHED THE LAST FEW EPISODES OF SEASON 5 ADVENTURE TIME

what the fuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuck you guys what the **** is this show!!

It is like everything I have ever wanted (but never knew I wanted), I've known that for a long time of course, but god I love it when they throw in these crazy foreshadows and cliffhangers and metaphors and subtexts

Spoiler

like holy **** that Lemonhope two parter was basically about free will and freedom and libretarianism? god damn i love this show

also lesbians

lesbians

disclaimer: under the assumption that pb/marceline is a Real Thing then it's more accurate to call the two bisexual (if we're labeling); marceline had a boyfriend (ash) so she is definitely diggin' da boys on some level (tho pb is her tru luv), pb is more complex because i think the only male romantic relationship we've heard about her in was young mr. cream puff which i don't think was about romance as much as "well i'm going to be ruler of my new kingdom, i need candy buildings and candy people and queens are supposed to be married i guess so i should make a dude" so i hesitate to call her bisexual. also labeling is kinda silly and it's up to the characters to decide what they would like to call their sexuality if they want to call it anything at all. also they're not real people at all so i guess it's up to the showrunners who have really not taken any kind of stance so whatever this is really long and not about anything important except i guess how i plummeted into the bubbline pit and i don't want to ever leave.

disclaimer about the disclaimer: i can only call them lesbians if they are actually romantically and/or sexually interested in each other (and again if they choose to label themselves), and therefore that pb/marceline is a thing, if you don't agree that is cool i don't mean to force my otp on you (although if you don't dig it you may be my nemesis)

ok w/e i was going to talk about season 5's weirdness and amazingness but actually i just wrote about pb and marceline and i'm not even surprised

The PB/Marcy thing was officially confirmed. According to sources, that's why CN decided to cancel the show after Season 6.

 

Um, pretty sure season 6 is in production, yo. I've seen the promos for it on CN.
They did, however, threaten to cancel the show if they made PB/Marcy canon, so they just sort of heavily imply it instead.

 

Ah, maybe that's what it was. I distinctly remember that it was confirmed by Word of God somewhere, though. On the other hand, this gives the creators a pretty easy way out if CN decides to run the show longer than the creators have in mind. I don't really follow it, but I'd hate to Adventure Time get run into the ground.

That's why I assumed that they'd cancel it after Season 6. I mean, they'd be crazy to cancel it after that whopper of a loose thread.

 

That show's got way more depth to it than one would think.

 

The official status of PB and Marceline isn't really known, there are a lot of rumors going around but I don't think many of them are entirely true. From what I understand, when What Was Missing (incidentally my fave episode) aired there was significant backlash for the heavy implications of a past (romantic) relationship between PB and Marceline. For this reason I'm pretty sure CN stopped showing the episode regularly in reruns for a while (I think they do now). The writers apologized saying they may have taken things a little too far. Later, when Sky Witch was about to air, one of the people behind the show (don't remember his name) posted a pic of PB and Marceline to Instagram saying "SHIP SHIP SHIP SHIP," while another writer has been pretty insistent that it's a platonic friendship. I don't think we know what CN did and didn't do or say was alright (though canceling a popular show for having LQBTQ characters would be a ridiculously stupid PR move), especially because after What Was Missing and in some of the comics the implications are definitely still there. Because of the controversy I doubt that we'll ever see a relationship come to culmination (though we may learn more about their past split and history). I'm actually kind of okay with that, as it stands some of he mystery about the two leaves a lot of room for speculation and analyzing the characters and most importantly fan fiction. On the other hand, it's important to represent gay relationships on television especially within kid's shows, and AT is gutsy show that I hope would rise to the challenge.

 

Maybe with Stuart Snyder gone there will be more of a chance for that.

 

it does sound as though they're making a lot of changes and restructuring, I just hope the new leadership will see how unique and valuable Adventure Time is. From what I understand it and Regular Show are CN's most popular. I don't know what I would do without AT tho, that would be removing the light from my life

 

I feel even if it lost it's spot on CN it would still continue somewhere. Maybe online like Bravet Warriors.

 

Di... Did Misty just appear, bait us by telling us she was going to discuss a season finale, and then expose us to who she's shipping and bounce?

 

I just learned about the comics, I hear they're quite good, I want to check them out. That would always be a possibility if it was ever cancelled.

I find it really hard to accumulate my thoughts on the episodes I watched just because there's so much, I really need to watch them over a few more times.
