Adventure Time is Coming Back with Fionna & Cake

Adventure Time: Fionna & Cake is a new series consisting of 10 episodes, and is expected to be out this autumn (release date has been officially revealed to be August 31, after this video was uploaded). A surprising aspect of this spin-off is the two titular genderbent leads will be teaming up with Simon Petrikov (who is now free from his Ice King persona) for a multiverse-hopping adventure. The scope and amount of episodes to this story makes me hopeful that not only will we flesh out the characters of Fionna and Cake like never before, but Simon will have an entire character arc for us to witness. Will we see Golb/Golbetty? Will we see those Lich hands which entered every universe/reality back in the episode “Crossover”? Will we see stuff we’ve never seen before that raises more questions than answers in true Adventure Time fashion? I shed some speculations and thoughts, but obviously we won’t know what happens until we can watch the show ourselves.

The trailer for Adventure Time: Fionna & Cake just released! The series will premiere on *August 31!* _Spoiler below:_ Gumball coffee shop AU straight outta fanfiction! 😆

[@sped325]

I thought you were going to avoid the trailer? nonetheless I am super excited!

[@zodayn4767]

Soooo next video a reaction and trailer analysis maybe? Not trying to preassure you or anything, just think that would be fun.

[@pun2023]

*Spoilers ahead for the trailer alone! If you haven’t seen it yet or you want to watch the show completely blind, I wouldn’t recommend reading this:* We have femme Ash now?! I don’t know why it shocks me so much but ngl, their design looks so cool. I wonder if they’ll just be a genderbend version of our Ash, or if they’ll have some level of basic human empathy. I can honestly see it go either way, regardless of the setting. Btw, this “normal” everyday universe seems to allude that everyone there is a human. If so, is the guy playing the guitar at the beginning of the trailer the human version of Marshall Lee? It really seems to me to be the case. (My claims, admittedly, only come from the cute bat sticker on the guitar) Oh… speaking of human world: I wonder how Simon will react to seeing a non magical/ human world again. I know he technically has never been there, but I can’t imagine those similarities to his world pre-Mushroom War will illicit anything positive. I doubt we’ll get to know his life before Betty and the Crown, but who knows! Either way, as always, he is not going to have a good time. Just don’t let this man near magic, istg it never ends good. Oh no… What if they find another alternate universe crown? Hmmm yep, that’s not going to be fun for him. I think the aspect that makes me more excited than anything is seeing how Simon reflects on his life spent as the Ice King. We’ve seen a bit of how he copes, but I can’t wait to see his thought process and opinions on the experience more in detail. I’m really thrilled to see what their approach will be. Also, it looks like Prismo is going to be a major character! (or at the very least, he seems to be the one that embarks Simon on this new adventure. Maybe?). I really hope we get to see other cosmic entities or get a deeper understanding of their jobs and hierarchical structure 👀 I’m content with just a glimpse honestly, I just want to know more about the cosmic AT lore. Aaaa the possibilities, it’s so exhilarating! What an amazing first peek ❤

How has it been?~

[@maxzapsgamingzepzeap2337]

I’m curious what Simon will do once in Fiona and Cake’s world. It doesn’t seem like Fiona has a robot arm so presumably most of the events of the main series haven’t occurred in their world. What if Simon tries to fix things up before they’re supposed to happen, like trying to help the Ice Queen return to her Human self since she’s just a reverse Simon or stopping Fiona from losing her arm, or stopping Male Marceline from accidentally releasing the Vampires out into the world, etc Maybe this new villain doesn’t want that, one of those types that wants things to happen without outside interference so it tries to erase Simon to stop him from doing things before they’re supposed to happen

[@Neganerd]

The thing is that nothing in Finn and Jake's universe is the same in the Fionna and Cake's, not the opposite, just not the same. Like, Ice Queen isn't a human, she is a water nymph that was dying and found the crown. She isn't a genderbend, she's another universe crown wearer. Flame Prince isn't a prince, he's some sort of Tarzan, half-lion dude that wanders around Aaa till Gumball builds him a volcano for him to live (also, they're friends! Flame Prince even calls Gumball "pretty") Gumball isn't a tyrant control freak that commits genocide twice, he's genuinely nice, polite and loves helping his friends, baking AND ACKNOWLEDGES MAGIC (nothing like Princess Bubblegum) Marshall is also different since we don't know nothing about him, but we know he doesn't have a "Simon" like Marceline did, at least not like she did. Marshall and Gumball's relationship is also nothing like Bubbline. They kinda hate each other at first and THEN they start going out together, helping each other and they apparently like each other too, unlike Bubbline, they didn't broke up, they're knowing each other "for the first time" and then they start feeling for each other. Fionna and Cake's isn't just "Finn and Jake but women", they're so much more than that and honestly, I'm happy it's that way cuz watching the same adventures and conclusions would be so boring.

[@Colorlightt]

I’m holding you accountable to your prediction

[@adamkalb1]

Well, yes. Fionna had both of her human arms in the latest Fionna and Cake episode (from the OG Finn and Jake series) after Finn lost his arm.

[@AxtonKincaidILM]

@@Neganerd I am curious to see where all that extra Fionna and Cake universe lore comes from. I’m not saying you’re lying or anything, I just didn’t see that anywhere and I want to learn more about it

[@Neganerd]

@@AxtonKincaidILM The official Fionna and Cake comics! Also, they showed an episode of the new series at the Comic Con and oh boy... i don't want to give y'all spoilers cuz there's A LOT, but it is nothing like we thought it was gonna be (yet), but I can confirm that Fionna and Cake are real in a different universe From what I saw on Twitter (and reddit) the series is gonna be good as hell and we're in for a ride!

[@cammyboig]

Have you considered that the "new antagonist" might actually be golbetty? Considering they want to erase fionna and cake from existence, and golb is known to have that power. Maybe betty resents them for taking up simon's headspace. After all one of the very last things ice king did was sing "oh fionna" to her.

[@Chisomaga-iv5us]

That is highly likely.

[@pun2023]

I think that Simon is travelling through the multiverse to find Betty as we did see him looking for her at the end of Come along with me and he will probably come across Fionna and Cake while he is travelling through the multiverse or something like that

[@sarahharris2294]

That be great and a perfect pilot.

[@thetacoguyy]

Or maybe remember that the Ice king invented Fiona and Cake world, what if Simon use to read Fiona and Cake stories when Marceline was a baby orphan and he created the Fiona and Cake world just for her. I could be wrong but it fits perfectly.

[@sarahharris2294]

@@thetacoguyy I like the way you went with it. That's another good pilot.

[@megacrashthehedgehog5377]

I was satisfied with the Fionna and Cake stuff just being cute side stuff sperate from the main plot, but if Tom Kenny, the man who brought fans to tears with episodes like Holly Jolly Secrets, I Remember You, Simon and Marcy, and Come Along with Me, is saying that this is the most emotional thing he's ever recorded, you can bet that I'm here for it.

[@Tanker20077]

Something people should acknowledge is to not be disappointed when its not entirely focused on Simon, theres alot of fan favorites like Marshall Lee and Prince Gumball, Ice Queen, etc. So I wouldn’t be surprised if an episode or two focused on one of these characters, in fact im sure of it. Either way im excited

[@thebrokenforgottenandlost4273]

According to Natasha Allegri the Fionna and Cake world isn’t an exact replicant of the main version of Ooo, for example Cake being the former pet of Ice Queen and Flame Prince being raised by fire lions, so I for one am invested in that version of Ooo

[@CinnamonGrrlErin1]

I'm so looking forward to this, although there's so many ways it could go that I can't theorize anything. I'm just glad we're getting more of the AT world

[@arinhossain2100]

I can't wait for this. Fionna and Cake are good characters. They are just underdeveloped. The spin off series with Fiona and Cake will do them justice by giving them more depth and character development. Hopefully Finn and Jake will make appearances in it too and maybe even meet Fiona and Cake too via multiverse since it's a multiverse show

[@sticky9477]

What if Ice king was secretly being trained subconsciously during his sleep to become another wish master like Prismo? I mean Prismo can make anything he wants a reality as long as his human self dreams. And since the Ice King longs for the acceptance/love of others I think it'd deem him fit to to host the reality of another dimension through said dreams.

[@Countess_Theta]

Babe wake up, uncivilized elk posted

[@freesteylerr082]

Ong

[@user-bv8pn6sg7d]

Although the dimension of Fionna and Cake is simply a copy and paste version of the og series, I think this spinoff series will reveal that these characters are actually reflections or reincarnations of people Simon and Betty knew back in the pre-Mushroom Era and this multiverse adventure will be Simon's desperate crtuch to come to terms with losing Betty and accepting that he shouldn't blame himself for how his life turned out. I think that the new antagonist will be a cosmic deity or a martain who wants to advenge the murder of Magic Man, who Simon ended up killing in a emotional outburst during a discussion about GOLB, how Margles died and why the hell did Magic Man help Betty with her asanine plan despite knowing all of the horrbile outcomes that transpire. This series purpose is to help clearify adiencrs who went with the Ice King Dimenia metaphor that Betty was in the wrong for not accepting Ice King as he had become by showing that Simon is still miserable and conflicted as he was when he was cursed by the Ice Crown. Mental Illness is not something you cure and there's no temporarily solutions for this shit. Truama can't be erased, it can only be accepted and resolved with the help of others and your own choice. If Simon Petrikov is ever to truly move on, he must stop blaming himself and accept that Betty ruined her own life trying to be with him, past, presant and future. The final episode will resolve Simon's inner truama and help him recover with a clear conscience and confidence with the help of Fionna & Cake. As for everything else and the arcs for every character, I have no damn clue, lol.

[@user-qr8vg4sq7e]

For some reason it seems to me that the world shown in the trailer is presented before the events of some kind of global catastrophe, as soon as Fionna somehow gets to the Prism and makes a wish so that her life is filled with magic and adventure, this leads to a change in her world like Ooo, that is, a repetition of the Mushroom War. or the plot is Simon breaks into Fionna's dimension and gives it magic on accident.

[@Bc232klm]

I'm with you. Interested in the Simon story arc, and might actually enjoy seeing Fiona and Cake episodes finally since this is all we have right now :) Love to speculate with you. Very much looking forward to the breakdowns!

[@chaos4654]

My personal theory after prior to the new show's announcement was that GOLB destroyed a Fionna and Cake universe, and the residents of that universe were able to send out recordings/memories of their adventures to let their stories be known.

[@nJudas]

Maybe Simon realized this and stole Fionna and Cake from the ordinary universe through prismo in order to recreate the universe that was destroyed.

[@nicolaridolfi6510]

8:56 well, it's basically multiplying the hand of the Lich, so it's mathematical

[@tommaczar673]

Not for nothing but from what we've seen of interdimensional tech so far in Adventures Time, most of it has beam stylized like that red beam. For instance, the Enchiridion's multiversal explanation program

[@paradactyl3729]

I'm still convinced the red beam is a reference to the pink laser from philip k. Dick' s VALIS. Ice King and Dick are both beautifully bearded creatives prone to unhealthy obsessions, metaphysical speculation, making self insert characters, and having a subset of their fanbase convinced their fiction can alter reality(LSP pulled a Misery on Ice King for exactly that reason). VALIS ends ambiguously, with the protagonist unsure whether he really is going to help usher in the Sophia/female messiah(seperating Betty fom Golb?) or if he is clinically insane. If the series has an ending parallel to that, it would definitely be a shakespearian tragedy of cosmic proportions.

[@matti.8465]

I didn't think this series would be much at first, but after "Together Again" I'm not making the same mistake of underestimating the crew.

If only they swapped the orders of Together Again and Wizard City

But I am interested in Simon's arc and what his relationship with Fionna and Cake is going to be, since as ice king he was obsessed with them and Simon HATED being the ice king. So I can see him being a bit frosty with them before eventually warming up to them. Cause I really don't see their relationship being positive at the beginning but it may be at the end though.
