Damn, I'm hoping Jinx comes back around soon. But at the same time she could be a fun, chaotic villain.... I'm so conflicted :c
If they keep doing this to me I ain't gonna recover. Another masterfully crafted episode, you can tell Echo (Ekko?) still wants Powder to return, deep down. Powder herself is also clearly suffering from PTSD or something, seems like she still feels super guilty for the deaths of Milo and Clang.
Really hoping things pan out the way I hope.
Dammit I'm not supposed to feel feelings.
But this episode made me. Especially the ending montage.
Oh my god, everyone being hyped up on caffeine was great.
Dwight's entire fake father/son pitch was a roller coaster, but we did get more insight on how him and Jim are actually real friends.
Darryl destroying the lights and killing the fish was so unexpected, but by god was it hilarious.
Very good introduction to the series. This should've been episode 1 imo.
Incredible show. Even if you don't know shit about League's lore or characters, this is still a masterpiece on its own.
There's a few nods to the game's characters, but it seems that this story is evolving on its own.
Incredibly hyped for Season 2, and am basically begging for the next chapter in everyone's journey.
I was so desperately hoping that Powder would realize Vi still loves her and just wants her back, even if she's changed.....
I really hope that can still happen in season 2.
Well fuck, everything we knew before has just changed.
Goddamn, he blew up a full-ass floor of a building to prove his point. Badass.
Holy fuck, I was not expecting them to kill him off with a cutaway gag.
The new intro is pretty bad (narration in intros is almost always annoying), but this episode was solid otherwise.
Honestly, the perfect ending to the show.
They even brought back Michael! That was great.
Though Kelly and Ryan just running off (and Ryan abandoning his kid) was kinda unnecessary. I thought her boyfriend was vastly better than Ryan.
But, it was still a great ending otherwise.
This is the mindfuck episode so far. Like......holy shit.
This is the episode you should use to introduce people to the show imo.
lmfao, this is a great rollercoaster of escalating nonsense.
Dammit, stop trying to make me feel bad for Selma!
I finally know where that monorail soundbyte cinemasins uses came from.
The surprise Spock was nice, and Lurleen getting a mention was also good.
Couple of good jokes too. Pretty good episode overall.
wholesome as heck.
I also like the running gag of the kids saying "Homer" instead of "daddy", and how Maggie says it just before the episode ends - but Homer doesn't hear.
I really like this episode.
Always love when we get some backstory about established couples, and I like the way Homer and Marge met.
Also shows us how long he's known Barney, Selma, and Patty.
Goddamn, you can really feel Dracula's regret and loss during that final scene.
Amazing show. I'm very sad it's over, but at least they went out on a high note.
All the characters have great arcs, and although a few things are left unresolved; it's not a huge deal.
This is probably my all-time favourite show now. Really hope it'll be able to return sooner rather than later.
But, as is - it's still really solid. I very highly recommend it to anyone, regardless of if you've seen the original series or not (I haven't and still loved this one).
I'm very sad to see it go, but that was a damn good ending.
Goddamn, Beakley got no chill. Best character.
But wtf Magica?! You can't just banish the best secondary character Leena!!
Speaking of her though, why "aunt magica" if she's basically a puppet? I guess to parallel everyone else's relationship with Scrooge?
Incredible character development for Picard, and it ends the 2 or 3 boring episode streak the show had.
Goddamn, how are they not dead yet?!
I suppose it makes sense for BoJack to survive (since he's basically just a horse/man hybrid? I dunno, it's complicated - but he weighs 1,200 pounds as we've seen in a few shots before).
Seems like Sarah Lynn just straight-up dies at the end, and if so then damn, is that unexpected (but also makes perfect sense).
Guess we gotta keep watching to find out.
Damn, what a great ending.
It feels like an actual ending too, instead of the "we got cancelled lol" that a lot of shows end on.
I do hope we get a second season, but at the same time it'd be fine if we didn't (although I would be a bit disappointed lol).
Simon realizing that he can still make a life for himself even after a millennia is a great way to end his character arc, and Fionna realizing she doesn't need to escape into some fantasy world to do anything is good too (and a bit too relatable...).
Also great to see him finally accept that Betty is gone, and that he should forge a path of his own into the future rather than excavating the past he holds so dear.
As I said at the start, this was a great ending to a solid series. It starts off slow, but after the first half it's damn good.
I do hope things start up a bit faster if we get a second season though. Kinda tough to sell someone on a show if it just meanders for the first half lol.
A great extension of the series that gives us some more backstory on several key characters (the second episode is the best one btw).
All 4 are worth watching after you've seen the show. Hoping they make more one day.
Goddamn, that was also amazing.
I do rank episode 2 slightly higher - but this one's about Finn & Jake, so you can't not love it lmao.
The fake-out intro setting up the fact that they've already been dead for years was a great subversion of expectations. It seems like this entire series takes place after the show ends (although the fiest episode seems like it goes over how BMO met Finn & Jake? Unless that was a parallel dimension or something...)
But anyway, this episode covers their bond and how it can transcend death itself - and it does a great job at that while also bringing back characters we've seen before. Even has a good message that's kinda meant to make you reflect on your own life & what it means to you.
We also get to see Life for the first time, and having the twist be that the snake guy is her & death's son was great (and it even brought back the Lich!).
And seeing Peppermint Butler again was fun too. I always wondered what his deal was (and still don't know lol). Also seems like Bubblegum finally died, and he took over the kingdom? I wonder what happened to Marceline....
As I said at the start, I do think episode 2 is just a tad better - but I'm biased since I like Marceline and Bubblegum's characters more.
Still though, this is another easy 10/10 for me.
Holy shit, that was amazing!
Marceline has been one of my favourite characters for a while now (though it did take a few episodes), and I'd always wondered what exactly made her and Princess Bubblegum stop talking - and this episode answers that.
It's got a great story, 2 more great songs (but all of Marceline's songs are great tbh), and answers questions you probably had but didn't expect an answer too (like how Bubblegum got that shirt, why she kept it for so long after they stopped talking, and why they've got a history that the main series doesn't really explore until near the end (but even then it's vague at best)).
It's also got a good message about being yourself and acknowledging that people grow & change over time.
I'm definitely gonna rewatch this in the future, but I do wonder why Bubblegum didn't make a new arm for Finn (although it was pretty cool to see him again, and I'm pretty sure one of Jake's kids is with him - but I don't really remember any of them lmao).
I doubt the other 2 episodes will top this (although I'm biased since I like Marceline & Bubblegum and their dynamic quite a bit lol), but it'd be a pleasant surprise if so.
I do wonder why older Finn doesn't have an arm though. I figured Princess Bubblegum would've made him a new one.
And why's he got a tattoo of Jake?
Goddamn, what an ending.
The first 2/3-ish is a bit wonky since Gumbald was barely set up as a villain and as such doesn't really work as one, but everything else is pretty damn good.
Although the aunt is just kinda there. She could've been removed or dum-ified again and nothing would really change (maybe they had plans in the future?)
A ton of one-off characters return, the Bubblegum & Marceline ship finally becomes canonical, and the actual ending is really open - just like the theme of the show: A life of unexpected adventure, encompassing everything too can imagine & more.
Betty's sacrifice completes her character arc, finally letting go of the man she was so desperate to save.
I also like the ending being a homage to the show's intro. In a way, Finn passed the torch of Adventure Time to a new pair of friends.
My only real complaint is BMO not remembering Finn's name. I dunno, it just bothers me. Dude was there for Finn's entire life and couldn't even remember his name, but he remembered Bubblegum's despite only meeting her a few times (if at all)?
Hearing the full outro song over a montage of where everyone is was good too. Reminds me of Regular Show's ending. Also like the implication that the Music Hole is singing it after every episode.
But alas, the opening has lied to us the entire time - for the fun does end, and here is where the train stops.
It was a good ride though, and I'll probably revisit a few episodes every so often in the future.
It's been 6 years, so I doubt there's gonna be a revival - but if so, I would like to see what Bubblegum and Marceline are up to. They're 2 of the handful of immortal characters, and I wonder how things panned out after the ending.
I was wondering how long it'd take for the Lich to turn back to normal.
Guess it'll happen soon-ish.
This was a pretty solid conclusion to the miniseries too. Can't believe we got 2 in a row lol.
I wonder what the next one will be like...
Also, Jake looking like the weird monster thing we saw in the Joshua & Margaret episode is interesting. Gives us further confirmation of his true origin.
