I also remember getting super psyched and effort posting in here and invariably getting smacked with that ^^^^^^^^^^^^^ every time, as if someone expressing themselves could only be found on reddit

I mean yeah dude that's gonna happen when you talk about shipping crazed "tumblrinas" and act overtly disturbed at the idea of LGBT people finding abstracted representation in the themes of Steven Universe. That's a series of pretty loving weird things to post. Especially since the latter part isn't even really subtext it's just text!

Given how the show treats its lore, it’s probably not going to be beholden to hints visible in a few scattered episodes. The ruins seen when the show has any content set in the far future fits in with the theory of the sublime the artists used to talk about when the show was new: seeing a bounded portion of something that clearly has more to it than you can see produces sublimity.

The end will probably just throw in some significant changes but keep the story open, as the show has always done.

They're continuing the story in comic form after the finale.

Adam Muto considers the comic non-canon

Ruflux
Jun 16, 2012


The comic series is labeled season 11 and Muto's work on the franchise finished when the show wrapped up production last year. He's entitled to his opinion, but deciding whether something is non-canon is probably on some CN executive at this point more than him. :shrug:

For what it's worth, I think it's a goddamn stupid idea and they should just let the show end peacefully instead of dragging it on and on. The comics always did their own thing, but even that was coming to an end soon. This just feels like somebody at CN went "hmm, but we could be making more money" when somebody told them the franchise was mostly wrapping up.

If we aren't getting more show than canon is explicitley what you make of it. Death of the author et cetera.

Diamonds & Lemons was ok, but it’s also exactly as pointless as I expected

It wasn’t great but it seemed made by someone that played the game rather than the normal “hello fellow kids” thing video game episodes of things do.

I for one am shocked that when the Enderman was out in the rain it didn't get hurt and teleported away. Are we supposed to believe that this is some sort of ~magic~ Enderman? Boy, I hope someone was sacked for that blunder!

It didn't really have anything interesting to say about Minecraft, and wasn't really an interesting or fun episode of Adventure Time. Just kinda boring.

I never knew that you could make an elevator out of staircases, that's kinda neat I guess.

We're watching the marathon too. Ancient psychic tandem war elephant!

Debating whether or not to start getting blu-rays of all the seasons, too - anybody know of plans to do a complete box set? I was thinking about getting the seasons on Prime, but they're all broken up.

They quit blu rays two seasons ago, I think. The last one released had no special features. Cartoon Network is done with physical media, or trying their best to be.

They're huge dicks for this! At least finish with the shows that you already started! Don't do the new shows if you don't want to! But don't leave us who have 6 out of 10 seasons twisting in the wind!

There's a Region 2 blu-ray release for season 7 that goes for ~$30 on ebay. I'm reasonably confident we'll eventually see a complete series box set in the next 5 years, but the individual blu-ray seasons seem quite dead.
