Loving the Series. I see frederator are working on Season Six as of mid 2013.

One of the smartest, most interesting shows on television period. Full of great ideas and characterizations to steal shamelessly for a Pathfinder game.

At first I thought Finn was dead and this was some kind of Afterlife where he was living his childhood 'as a hero'. It wasn't until later episodes I clued it was a thousand years after the mushroom Wars and ruined human cities were revealed to be deep beneath the earth and at the bottom of the ocean.

If the 'mushroom wars' turn out to be some experiment which created fungi that spawn sugar that the folks of the candy kingdom come from I will be thoroughly impressed...

The thought Princess Bubblegum is descended from an increasingly sentient Mushroom...way cool.


It really is an awesome show. It's like... An awesome kids show, for adults. And for kids too of course (though some of the episodes may be a little too dark for kids, especially around the end of season 4).

But really. It's so smart and beautiful. Everyone should see it.

I believe the "Mushrooms" are meant to be Mushroom clouds. It was a nuclear Armageddon further fuelled by the Lich's magic which caused candy, animals and other things on earth to gain sentience/mutate into their current forms.

I would ask you to not call me a fungus, thank you!


Yep.

Spoiler:
The two-parter at the end of Season 4 (I think) that drops Finn into an Alternate Reality after he wishes The Lich never existed reveals that - The Lich came from a nuclear warhead that crashed down on the area in the normal timeline, and got stopped by Simon Petrovich/The Ice King in the Farmland Timeline. When the bomb finally goes off and catches Farmland Jake in the blast, he goes all Lich-ified. (And then has a duel with Ice King Finn that we never get to see, since Normal Timeline Jake undoes Finn and The Lich's wishes.)

Awesome series, I agree.


I just got into Adventure Time. I kind of had a preconceived notion that it was just another silly "Uncle Grandpa" sort of Cartoon Network, too high to function, dumb show. Then I got to watching it. Really cool and pulls from my childhood experiences in a way that no cartoon does better other than The Venture Brothers. Quite impressed. Sadly, I'm way out of order in the series and am not a Netflix subscriber so I get to DVR what comes on.
