BOSS BATTLES DID NOTHING WRONG

Jonas Albrecht posted:

Huh, that would be the first change to his regular design, wouldn't it?

Yeah, I'm curious about this. I have serious doubts that Cartoon Network would allow a drastic change to Finn's design like a permanent robot arm, but if they allow this minor thing it might pave the way for future changes.

You'd think they'd be all for it because of the toy and merch prospects.

That kind of thing doesn't happen in these shows, though. Spongebob would never change his design.

Plus, we've already seen with PBs de-aging and Jake's parenthood that the status-quo does not change for longer than an episode.

In the third dream, someone in this thread pointed out that Finn becomes a summary of puberty: an awkwardly proportioned hairy man-baby who babbles incoherently.
My call that Finn would end up having "totally-not-wet-dreams" in this episode, which I made before it even aired (based on previews?) is still one of my proudest moments in this thread.

Sometimes a cigar is just a cigar. There's a lot of valid symbolism for the Grass Blade and Frost and Fire being about maturity and puberty but I think this is reading a bit much into a one off gag.

Well, if we're gonna do this, shouldn't it be Finn trying to hit eggs with his freudian phallic symbol, only to miss, creating a symbol of juvenile impotency, a subtext further driven in by the fact that he has egg on his face as the result of putting forth effort and failing? I mean, come on, it's obvious.

EDIT: For spoiler tags, forgot some people don't even like seeing previews here. Sorry.

So from the description it seems Rattleballs will have yet more PB. I wasn't kidding when I said Season 5.2 has a poo poo-ton of Peebles. Not that I'm complaining, she's one of my favorite characters and she continues to be the highlight of many episodes she's in. Though, I kind of hope Season 6 has a slight change in focus to another character, maybe. Like Flame Princess, or Marceline, or Ice King. Or better yet, more evenly distributed amongst them.

I've seen fun you people wouldn't believe.
Tiki torches on fire off the summit of Kilauea.
I watched disco balls glitter in the dark near the Brandenburg Gate.
All those moments will be lost in time, like crowds in rain.

Time to sleep.
There was another preview of the next episode on CN where the Rattleballs guy cut the grass blade in half. Not sure what to make of that, maybe the loving magic sword can heal itself or maybe it's just a short lived weapon. Although I can't find this online now, so maybe I'm just going insane.

Considering the theme of the episode, nothing more complex than emasculation I assume.

And it's a magic loving sword, of course it'll repair itself, barring magic damage or maybe fire I don't know

Serioustalk, that's a good point. Wouldn't be much of an eternal curse if it could just get cut in half. Or burned off by the likes of Flame Princess, for that matter.

I started watching Adventure Time after the last thread was closed, but between skimming parts of it and Steve Yun's custom title I think I can understand why people here are so freaked out whenever someone tries to bring up the subtext of episodes.

That episode was definitely about Finn's erections though. Because if it wasn't, then it was a very boring and pointless episode.

No way Finn is ready for that; he hasn't even found a single rain-soaked magazine of forbidden sword techniques just lying in the forest.

Hey, Adventure Time thread. I didn't know we had one of those. There's more penis talk than I would have expected though.

The new episode looks interesting. Maybe we'll get a nice training session, Karate Kid style.
I really hope the grass sword is here to stay, at least a while. It would be nice to prove that the status quo is not, in fact, Glob and can be challenged.

Speaking of grass, I can't help but be reminded of when Jake tried to convince the Fire Kingdom that Finn was the Prince of the Grasslands. Could this be Finn's first step towards royalty?

...ok, now we're going into crack theory territory.

This show is actually a satanist conspiracy to teach our kids about sexuality disguised as an adventure/comedy show! If you play Jake's voice backwards he actually says "hail satan".

It's cursed, so maybe by accepting it he can control it now, but the curse shifts to making him clumsy?

I'd imagine a blade made of grass is way lighter than a blade made of metal. Although I guess that'd be better shown by him blocking too fast, rather than comically slowly.
