Adventure Time: Distant Lands Review - BMO

Adventure Time returns with Distant Lands! The first 45 minute special features BMO being recruited by a mysterious robot (who BMO names Olive) to save a far-away society called The Drift, where a myriad of alien beings live semi-communally under the directive of a nefarious character called Hugo. It’s up to sheriff BMO and his deputy Y5 to make sure The Drift is safe from Hugo and the rascal Mr. M! Looks like terraforming Mars with potatoes will have to wait. Yeehaw!

BMO was insanely vital in defeating Golb with his song. If he hadn’t randomly landed next to Finn and Jake the world might have ended, just throwing that out there.

[@partycitydumpster]

O ya all the BMO humor, including the examples you pointed out, really worked for me. His "but I'm so cute" response to his life being threatened really got me. He's naive and wise. Immortal and a child. A robot and highly emotional. Loving and kind of a narcissist. And the voice acting and animation for him is always really delightful, but it really shined here. I really enjoyed this one.

[@finnagamez3735]

I loved the special because it was all it needed to be, a simple story to reintroduce us to the style of AT and get us enjoying classic AT again, which in my opinion, it succeeded. Also I somewhat agree on the humor points but the episode had an extremely good pace and never lingered on a weak joke, they knew which jokes were throwaway lines, and which they could spotlight.

[@PanSangex]

I loved the pacing too. It was really enjoying to watch after all this time without AT

Personally I’d say the feel of this special was more similar to the later seasons. Purely because the earlier ones were just way too simple and light hearted. This special is definitely a lot more... proper.

[@slothful2039]

Honestly I feel like the creators sorta acknowledged that BMO was more of a "cute sidekick character" since that's what he was pondering in his death state lol. Perhaps BMO was released first since its story is more easily digestible and honestly a good reintroduction to AT. I still really enjoyed the episode and it just make me very excited for the rest of the distant lands series!

[@schwiftyhero3689]

I think I definitely agree with the point that BMO works better in short chunks rather than a full 45 minute special. So having BMO paired up with Y5 was a good call. While the main plot was pretty basic for Adventure Time standards, I think the unique setting of the drift and the characters make up for that imo. And I’m glad someone else agrees that not showing Mr. M’s face, even though it was very obvious who he was, was an amazing creative decision.

[@kenzisalah5431]

des a worse episode i see in the void😡😡

[@sleepily]

My favorite part in this episode is when Football says "BMO, if you bonk this up and die, I couldn't live with myself." I love the double meaning!

[@CoolCrimsonJaguar]

Yeah, some of the BMO humor didn't really sell it for me, but I was usually too busy checking out the backgrounds and all the cameos to really care. Like, I know Y5's whole arc deal was pretty cliche, but I still loved it. For what it was, it was pretty good, but I will say that her parents should've gotten a bit more of a comeuppance than "oh we're sorry we were shitty parents". Just little a bit of righteous justice, as a treat. But other than that, I was stoked. This was great! I adore the finale, and I get where you're coming from with the whole closure to the series thing, but damn. I didn't realized how starved I was for content until now. Also, as a tiny nitpick, the bunny people's eyes were weird. I didn't like them. As for the Olive situation, I really think that's going to be elaborated on later. It just feels like there's more of a backstory there. I'm not sure what to make of it, but on the first viewing I was feeling pretty betrayed. I was like, "Olive?? What are you doing? Were you evil the entire time?????" That's clearly not the case, but I panicked. I also didn't recognize Martin's voice at first. I started to get suspicious though, and when he finally took off his shoes and I saw his feet I literally screamed at my screen "Oh, it's this fucker again!" Also something of note that makes me go ???, the lards are sentient. They talk and stuff. Why are they cattle. What the hell. Hope you're doing good! Take your time with these reviews if you need to, and try not to burn yourself out.

[@NoirRaven]

[@unhelpfulrevelations7989]

I kinda like the idea that there were 2 mushroom bombs. Very evocative of hiroshima/nagasaki, which kind of grounds them for me in a weird way, idk. Like you said, there's basically a mythological aura to the bombs, and the circumstances that led them to creating/reincarnating the Lich are still very murky and unknown. Glad to have you back, you have so much insight and skill into the pulling back the curtains of Adventure Time's subtler details; I almost feel like I haven't really 'watched' a new episode until I've heard you talk about it.

[@uncivilizedelk]

Evoking Hiroshima/Nagasaki / Fat Man/Little Boy was my first thought too! I didn't wanna get into that in this review because my eventual video on The Lich is going to kick off with the 'Now I am become Death, the destroyer of worlds' Oppenheimer quote.

I really like the moment where Y5's parents immediately turn BMO off after capturing him. After seeing Y5 struggle to handle BMO's usual antics up until that point, seeing her parents just treat BMO like any other machine and prepare to sell him for parts, really stuck with me.

[@Nick_Lyston]

Hi Jared- yeah, this was a fantastically done scene. When pondering our capacity for evil born out of bigotry, people tend to focus on how we tend to hate those we believe are inferior to us, and to exploit them with animosity. But hate is a hot emotion, not too far removed from the warmth of love. The real evil born out of bigotry is not hate but rather the frozen coldness of apathy, the total disregard of the Other. The best example of this in modern times is how we completely disregard the lives and feelings of the animals we eat. Few of us actually HATE cows and pigs- an emotion as powerful as hate would be giving them too much consideration and respect, and we might start questioning what we do to them. Instead, we completely disregard them, and treat them as nothing more than machines to be used and discarded, the way Y5's mother regarded BMO. Like BMO and the animals we eat, we all share the capacity to love. But we must overcome the true evil of bigotry- the cold, apathetic shoulder shown to warm, love-capable victims, if we are to ever also reach our capacity as beings who are WORTHY of love.

Don’t forget that BMO fills his primary MO roll in this Distant lands episode. Moe made him special and released him into the world to evoke wonder and imagination in other. BMO is a force of nature because he’s a robot that has learned to love, hope and imagine. In this episode they teach Y5 these things. Y5 learns to be confident and hopeful. They learn that they already are capable of saving others and changing their world around them.

I think the moment with Olive it's just to show that it still appreciates Hugo. Olive saw something special in BMO and brought him to the drift because of it, the same for Hugo. Maybe Olive saw something special in both of them, and being a simple little robot they can look past the atrocities and still like Hugo for what qualities he has.

[@Katiethewizard]

I honestly really enjoy BMO's humor because it reminds me so much of how an actual little kid would view the world. He's a little self-centered like how a child would be with a big capacity for love and friendship. Calling the earth BMO world was an example of him seeing himself as the main character of his own universe, exactly like how little kids do. I just think BMO so cute and his naivete is a big part of his charm❤

[@MysticVee]

Thanks for making this, man. I was excited to see what you had to say about it. Overall, i'd give this one a 3/5 in terms of what I wanted out of a BMO-ccentric episode. For me, it was missing a sense of grounding by being in space, no pun intended. I didn't feel like almost anything mattered up until BMO was shattered apart. I caught Martin as Mr M and immediately wondered if he discorporated and then was put into a suit to keep his essence together, but now that you mention it, seeing his hot dog red skin on his toes really gave him being alive away. I actually really liked the Grey Elf thing, That's one of the things I thought was pretty ingenious. But yeah, rambling aside, i really hope the rest of the show is either set in post finale Ooo, or set in 2k+ GMW

[@itsbluntweezy2078]

I think another great detail that was included was how Finn's dad got his boots. The boots Y5 losses in the card war wager are the same ones Martin wears throughout the Adventure time show.

[@kitboyatt1268]

I thought the Olive and Hugo final scene was a gentle slap as much as anything else. Theres a brief but interesting familial dynamic there, the "disappointed in me". really makes the bot seem they had sort of parental influence in Hugos life. I think his character is very similar to Martin's, he wasn't nesscerlly a bad person from the beginning, but he started making so many horrible mistakes that he just started to own them, pretend he didn't care who he hurt to get his way until he didn't. The brief interactions we saw between Hugo and the orb reminded me a lot of The Lorax and the Oncler (animated movie version). I imagine they parted ways very similarly. It would have been nice if they had given more depth to Hugo, I think he has the potential to be a really interesting character.

[@rigzmoviediaries654]

The way you talked about Adventure Time's classic intro reminded me of an idea I've had before. If an Adventure Time movie is ever made for theatres, it should start with a recreation of the intro with the same music. The title card after the intro will read "THE MOVIE", and it will fade to black, and the movie will start. That concept is literally all I want if Adventure Time becomes a movie.

Loved the review! Just finished watching Infinity Train last month and I was eager to watch your videos on it (they were great by the way). I think you're totally valid about the shortcomings of this special. It felt like a one-off episode that was chosen from the writers' attic to make a fourth episode. I really like BMO and even for me it was a little repetitive to get the same kind of joke and delivery. That being said, I love the positivity coming from this video because all-in-all, it's another adventure time special filled with a little lore, a little humor, and (as you said) amazing visuals!

Martin talking about ‘kids always calling out their deadbeat parents’ is kind of a weird line since this episode is a prequel and he hasn’t found Finn yet

[@sharonspears-mandeville2369]

Yeah,that..And oddly,thinking about it-Maybe Martin HIMSELF was ( _PROBABLY_ ) raised by a single parent/set of parents whom may have been deadbeat themselves and it had an effect on him,leading him to probably run away and become a gadget-lover thief,trader and scoundrel that later met Dr.Minerva,got into a relationship with her-which also meant that he went clean-eloped (which I'm LUCKILY GUESSING/THEORIZING here..since I don't think that I saw a marriage certificate in the "photo frame"-part of the relationship-montage from Minnie and Marty,so I'm healthily guessing/implying that they privately eloped before having Finn-also implying that Finn's mom still kept/keeping her maiden name while Finn legally got martin's last name at birth here,honestly-until the tiger lady and her goons broke in and..you get the idea..) and had Finn.. Or,in short: _Martin probably was a child/victim of Deadbeat parents/a deadbeat parent himself and knew how that feeling felt,leading him to become a runaway and thief/scoundrel,found his way to founder's island (maybe as a passenger/young seafarer/refugee from the mainland) and made/took to his trade-probably years-before he met Minerva (Finn's bioMom),so he has previously felt/known that pain,honestly-so.._

[@seedwarpletuenchbunt5738]

Loved your analysis! As always I loved your cogent perspective. How content were you with the writing? There were definitely a few moments where I felt it lacked the typically airtight continuity that I so closely associate with AT, such as Martin joking about kids "always calling out their deadbeat dad" despite the absence of his contact with Finn since the guardian scene. Despite this, I loved having a far-out reach for a universe I have fallen in love with. The lore ties being present even in such a remote outpost is something I both appreciate, and take issue with, but nonetheless, it felt just right in regards to the series' position as a satellite post-finale hurrah. Hope you're doing good. :)

[@uncivilizedelk]

I had no problem with Martin's line because I was already aware of the timeline before the ending stinger, so I saw it as joke based on dramatic irony - Martin makes a comment that the audience knows is applicable toward him in the future. It's basically Martin doing a self-own but not realizing it yet. I think a lot of people who first assumed BMO takes place post-finale misplaced the source of the humor as coming from Martin's personal experience (rather than just him making a standard jerky comment), and then are having a hard time rectifying that, thus attributing it to an error in the writing. But yeah, overall I felt the writing wasn't quite to the levels of my most beloved Adventure Time episodes, but it also wasn't worse than some of the writing in AT episodes I didn't care for.

Okay I’d forgotten about the Frasier song, but seeing it here made me realise how much of a meta joke it is 😂 In the series we had Simon singing the Cheers theme, and in Distant lands we have the Frasier theme, when Frasier was a spin off of Cheers and Distant Lands is a spin off of adventure time!

[@chugiakjrtheplaywwright6461]

So to elaborate for Olive's motives, I will explain the timeline as I interpret it. 1. An unknown individual or individuals creates the Drift, staffing it with hundreds of drones to maintain the space station and establish order. 2. Over time the drones are lost, destroyed or damaged, and since there is nowhere on the space station where they can be repaired or new ones created, the station starts to fall into disrepair. 3. Olive travels to earth in search of someone to repair the Drift, finding Hugo, a clearly intelligent individual, and brings him back to the station. 4. Hugo,.seeing the situation the station is in and figuring most people living on the station will spend most of their time helping themselves, figures it's more worthwhile to use his time plundering the drift for resources to make his own smaller space station staffed by those he can trust. 5. Olive , realizing it's mistake, heads back to Earth to find someone more empathetic to try and counter Hugo's influence.

Always great to hear from you again. Especially since you to have things to say that I hadn't thought of. You had a particularly interesting take on the flashback, saying that two "mushroom bombs" went off.

Since they lacked the definitive screaming faces, I didn't associate them with The Lich's bomb. Of course real nukes aren't green in color, but I chalked it up to artistic license, since green tends to be affiliated with radiation in fiction. Thinking about it has lead me to further consider if the color is important, and if we were to theory-craft, I might suggest that these green bombs illustrate that, as the war progressed, advancements were being made with nukes that ultimately culminated in the creation of the mushroom bomb. If they were indeed saying that two of these bombs existed, and were used, it would significantly change our current understanding of the event, and I think would be something they would have to come back to in some way.

Another great review! So glad to have you back homie!

Thanks for the video friendo, I love your insightful views on these shows we all love. Your videos always put a smile on my face and I look forward to whatever you have to say next, cheers

[@elekashkara6456]

You are so great in this. I hope you'll be successful for reviewing these amazing shows. Looking forward to the next episodes of DISTANT LANDS

"Even when things look really stupid, we have to try" Bruh Idk why but I started crying like a n idiot

I think the fact that Finn grew up pretty fine was in big part thanks to PB. I've recently rewatched season 1 and looking at it again, after knowing the entire show, the whole lore developed later, and final versions of all the characters, it's hard not to see Bonnie as subtly overlooking Finn's upbringing.

So happy that your back! I wanted to say that you’re one of my favorite you tubers and I love your videos! Though I think at the end when BMO finds Finn and Jake, it seemed like Jake might’ve been in his stealing purses from old lady’s fase because of his teenager style of hair and clothes.

[@Rodoadrenalina]

I do belived you wouldnt do this video now, im glad youre back.

[@christianthompson2768]

You hit the nail on the head with how I feel about BMO. Working well as a side character who can add to a story or situation

[@InvaderZim897]

Very grateful for the chance to hear what you thought of this special. I gotta admit I was shocked by the prequel reveal because I thought much of the time that Mr. M was some kind of reincarnation of Martin, since the Catalyst Comet was supposed to give him a new life and it wasn't made clear what that meant. I also wasn't sure what to make of the scene with Olive at the end but I like your thoughts.

The guy who scammed y5 out of her boots sounds like finn's dad and even has the same body image

[@benepic3101]

Yeah, a lot of the BMO comedy didn’t work for me either, and I also felt really unengaged with it. I really agree with this.

14:11 Let's be real now. Binging with Babish

[@eliasfitzgerald1786]

Maybe Void Caster isn't a race, but an occupation? Martin may have known that particular individual was a void caster already, or could tell by the wand or something. I don't know.

[@amysmith1429]

It was kinda funny that the rabbit people didn't really seem to get that BMO was sentient, like calling him a toy and wanting to use him for parts and stuff and being baffled at signs of emotions from him.

[@mcdaliso]

Finally!!!! No other reviews compare to the OG Uncivilised Elk

[@eduardososa843]

3:41 *Y5:* BMO that was incredible. You single-handedly saved everyone. [Hugo floating in space] 😂

[@dipichona]

I can't believe I didn't get he was Martin while watching the episode. He felt oddly familiar as if he had appeared previously but I couldn't recollect who he was until today like 5 months later thanks to you, great analysis

[@meeganash7398]

just wanted to say i absolutely love your videos theyre super cool and i love hearing ur opinions and analysis! that being said BMO IS ADORABLE and i greatly enjoyed the episode ur points r valid criticism but BMO is so perfect none of it matters i wouldve taken a 45 min episode of bmo singing random songs and playing in the grass and been perfectly happy
