With the end of Adventure Time: “Distant Lands” and waiting for the next mini-series, “Fiona and Cake”, it has comes to an realization that they’ll never be another cartoon series like Adventure Time. While many people will say that there already is like Steven Universe, Gravity Falls, Amphibia, The Owl House, and other shows that came out in the 2010s, but there’s something about Adventure Time hits differently that many of those shows don’t.
1) Growing Up
Adventure Time has been going since 2010 and could’ve easily become been like Simpsons and Spongebob for overstaying their welcome and gotten stale, but instead the show decided to grow, taken risk and having their characters to develop as the series went on and looking at Adventure Time Distant Lands, specifally “Obsidian” and “Together Again”, it’s clear to me it has.
Look at Finn Merten, he started out as immature adventurous boy
But in later seasons, he went through a lot such as
Heartbreak
Father issues
Losing his arm
Seeing himself die in front of him
In those experience, it allowed him to mature to be more passive than aggresive
Then in “Obsidan”, He’s more calm and chill
But what truly made me realize this is in “Together Again”, they showed Finn and Jake, who are the protagonists of Adventure Time, dead and there’s no ressurection, they stayed dead. It’s something that you don’t see in everday cartoon, most cartoons will show the protagonist older and what they’ve been doing the future, but for Adventure Time, they died.
It just shows that Adventure Time can grow, even when characters finally pass on.
2) The Land of Ooo
What the show truly sells is it out lore and how much it offers. While it takes place post apocalyptic Earth, the worldbuilding is expansive and the lore can’t even compare to Avatar: The Last Airbender, but more to One Piece. There so much that the show has explored such as
The society of humans
Elemental beings
The Crown
MOs
Kindgoms
Mother Gum
Vamps
Wizard City
and so much more
What I truly love about the series that there’s still so much to explore, espeically finding out there’s more than the Land of Ooo such as planets, and the multiverse.
3) The Many Characters of Ooo
There are so many colourful characters in the show that are quite memorable, even characters that appeared in one episode. They are even given more depth and development that I didn’t expect to see.
Cookie wanted to be a princess
Air helping BMO finding her way home
The unexpected friendship between a Snow Golem and a Fire Wolf Pup
Dirt Beer Guy (Root Beer Guy) and Cherry Cream Soda never dated before they married, so they decided to actually date and see what an actual relationship is
and there’s Cinnemon Bun that got a massive amount of development that actually from a goof in the Candy Kingdom to a royal guard for the Fire Kingdom
And there’s the character relationships that dear glob it’s amazing. Seeing characters that you don’t normally see interacting is amazing like
Ice King and Marceline, two secondary characters and creating an entire backstory that’s tragic tale.
It was clever how the writers did by showing a glimpse to their past in season 3 such as
“Holly Jolly Secrets”
and “Memory of a Memory”
Having a father and daughter relationship. It was very heartwarming to Simon has gain his sanity and visits Marceline and her bubblegum girlfriend from time to time.
4) Philosphical Messages
While there are many cartoon shows have philosphical moments like Steven Unvierse and The Owl House, Adventure Time has gone a bit deeper, making me believe that this show was than just a kid/teen show, espeically getting older.
BMO wonders if he grows up, will he remain the same or different. Will it change his body or change his soul.
Finn questions if being borin is the greatest act of creation, what you supposed to do next and what’s the point making an effort if we “blow up”.
Marceline thinks that there’s no bad people. Good people can sometimes do bad stuff and that’s bad, but if you do it once, it’s a mistake and that’s not bad
Adventure Time can really make you wonder about life.
In conclusion, Adventure Time is one of those shows that can’t be mimic for it’s heavy lore, growth in the show and characters, deep messages, and the many colourful cast of characters. Adventure Time could’ve overstayed it’s welcome and can get boring like Simpsons and Spongebob, but it mange to stay fresh with ideas and take risk and that what makes Adventure Time enjoyable.

An Update:
Also, happy Antifa mob anniversary
sick and twisted just like the knife you've jammed into my heart
still thinking about how in the mw3 reboot, after soap is killed, if you don’t defuse the bomb ghost continues to just sit with soaps body until it blows.
he doesn’t even attempt to stop the bomb all he does is try to get soap up by patting him.
THIS IS SICK AND TWISTED.
cw: boyfriend price, independent and a tad bit stubborn reader, this man loves you, mentions of marriage
Thinking about your boyfriend John who just wants to make your life easier even though you insist you can do things yourself. Very much has the “I know you’ve got it, but let me take care of you” mindset.
A real man.
Insists on changing your oil for you, filling up your washer fluid, checking your tires. He wants his baby safe, after all. Takes your car every Sunday and fills up your gas, getting teasingly annoyed with you when he sees it close to full, knowing you went and got it on your own.
Sends you money for groceries, nails, hair, little trinkets and hobbies that you have. He rolls his eyes when you send it back, claiming “I can pay for my maintenance myself, John. Save your money.”
He decides that he has to be a little… stern with you. He loves that you’re independent, but he’s your man, and he wants to provide for you even a little bit. He’s gonna put his foot down, coerce you to relax and let him take the reins a bit.
Starts to gently shove you out of the way when you’re out shopping, giving you that smile that softens you up even when you’re mad at him. Starts keeping track of your groceries and stocking them up, so you have no choice but to use what he bought.
Pays for your appointments in advance, contacting the people you get your services from and putting his card on file. You can’t pay if he beats you to it.
Breaks you down until you finally accept his spoiling willingly, assuring you he wants to spend his money on you and keep you well cared for.
Eventually starts to hint that when he puts a rock on your finger, working is optional for you. He’s willing to hand over his cards and put your name on his account, what’s his is yours and what’s yours is yours, of course.
Type of man to chuckle and warmly thank you when you buy him a little sweet treat after he’s pulled out his bank card to take you on a little shopping trip, insisting you split it.
He wants you comfortable and taken care of, so just let him, ‘cause that’s what he’s there for.
kaeya being everybodys big brother :)! plus him with his own
