I thought the first few seasons were way too “random” humor back when they came out and I was only like ten. I actually liked the more ‘philosophical’ and ‘deep’ episodes

[@Howlhilt]

@Personal Vendetta I gotta disagree, honestly. It felt really natural for Finn to face more philosophical dilemmas as he matured through the show, at least in my eyes. It wasn't trying too hard to be deep, it was just telling stories with deep messages.

[@howtocleanyourhyrdocapable7443]

yeah i honestly liked the more philosophical ones than some of the more random ones like the grayble episodes

[@396dog8]

@@Howlhilt I agree. Adventure time was a long running very popular Show and it attracted a lot of fans when it first appeared but one thing that makes it stand out compared to most Kids shows is it matured with its audience. It’s got more developed humor. As a kid I always despised That dumb kid humor. I really enjoyed these seasons though. I felt like the dumb potty humor jokes made me look dumb and made kids look stupid.

[@daddykipperflipper4600]

[@kendallgordon4150]

Even though it did falter a bit season 6, I'd say Seasons 7 and 8 (or 7 through 9 if your using CN's bs ordering) was when the show peaked in quality. They took the more upbeat tone of Seasons 1-4 and mixed it with the more serialized, story-driven plots of Seasons 5 and 6. They easily had some of my favorite episodes.

[@exceedexceed760]

I know u might not see my comment (since ur comment is like 4 years old) but u put into words exactly what I was thinking but I just couldn't get the words out.

[@StevenJones851]

yeah it was the peak

[@tylerburnham3377]

I prefer the deeper episodes way more over the random ones. This show was so groundbreaking because it presented dark and philosophical topics in such a unique way. The character development and world building that began to become the norm are what makes this show so amazing. The quick humor of the early seasons is still present later on, but just like how Finn ages and matures in the show, humor and subject matter aged and matured as well. I grew up being the same age as Finn throughout the show and it definitely played a part in shaping my mental and emotional development. Season 6 is my fav season and i find myself returning to this season the most out of all of them each times i rewatched it

[@StevenJones851]

i agree i really like the Deeper episodes more they improved the Story way more and explored way more world buildings

[@pilotman463]

I agree, this show grows with the audience and that was very intentional. We get a show that's random and fun classic fantasy that fuels the whimsy of Childhood and even the credits reflect the magic of having a childhood that lasts. But then the show matured with the audience, showing us that even in a fantasy world with magic and wonder that our characters are still people and experience mental and physical issues with change, and the final song of the show reflects the idea of moving on but learning from your childhood, it's why the future of Ooo is in ruin because all good things must come to an end.

[@aaronrice8682]

I actually like season 6 even though it some problems. Yeah, it suffered in a couple of places, mainly returning to the status quo too much and a few lackluster episodes. Although, I still felt like it massively improved on a lot of areas, such as the characters and overall tone. A pretty solid season overall.

[@MS46532]

same.

[@dorrrrrian]

I agree with this

[@limberlad]

No doubt, it really started to delve deep into PB's megalomaniac side, ties in and wraps up previous plot points, such as Finn coming to terms with having a deadbeat dad.

[@Rhob3000]

it just went a little too deep for the casual viewer. Every season had it's low points but this season had some of the best episodes too

@Jack Blackthorn but it's true though and having an optimistic opinion isn't being a fanboy...

[@1983Corolla]

It's the exact same thing happening with Steven Universe and that show isn't nearly as old, theres lot's of very long hiatuses, steven bombs and big dumps of episodes became the only release of new episodes, next to no advertising until the actual date of something airing. CN just obviously doesn't wanna promote the shows produced by the Adventure Time "circle" and would rather push braindead shows like Teen Titans GO and that really badly animated Ben 10 because they can sell the merch of those quicker, that's all that matters to them in the end, its not the appeal the show gets, its just the physical product sales it nets them, CN's sad and garbage as fuck.

In defense of the orgalorg plot line a bit, it was forshadowed in the episode, It Came from the Nightosphere when Hunson confronts Gunter about sucking his soul. Season 6 wasn't great, but at least the later seasons brought it back to it's roots imo. Good video btw.

[@nickbernard7187]

Psychicbacon I always thought that was just a funny little bit and nothing else. Idk when I found out they revealed Gunther was really a demon the whole time, to me, it justified me losing interest in the show. It's one of those things that just makes me go "really? They did that?"

It was literally foreshadowed throughout the whole series that gunther was a dark entity. Any time the show focused on him it was pretty evident he wasn’t a regular penguin lmaoo. Like when he took that wishing eye from ice king and started taking over oo. Irritating how much was missed here tbhh

I’m not usually writing comments like these. But I have to disagree. The first thing I have said about season 6 after watching, is “WTF!? This is the best season ever omigosh!!!”. I like it when the show goes all different characters and expand their world, it’s amazing and beautiful. There are a lot of rushed things in this show, and I hot used to it over time, cuz this is how the show goes, and those who do not understand it, shouldn’t watch it. The ladder half of the series is miles better than the first half, and I don’t understand why people think different. It showed more world, characters, interesting stories, felling, humor and character development. Sure there was not a “huge villain”, but should there be? It’s not like “Avatar” with an absolute villain with an actual character. The lich is nothing more than an obstacle for Finn and Jake, and a lovely lore piece for the more curious watchers between us (me included!!) the future is far more interesting for me than seeing a recurring villain. As for the end, it was obvious that it wouldn’t just be a plain old war,and anyone who didn’t understand it, didn’t understand the show in my opinion. It’s about the characters and the feel of adventure and exploration for me, not story. And I’m a story freak!

bruh, the title is as misleading at best. i was looking for a genuine criticism of adventure time apart from the ending and what i found was a shallow criticism of season 6 and slight praise of the other 4. not a "rise and fall" more of a small dip and then a plateu of success

[@mtj8870]

Nice choice of "No Wonder I" in the beginning.

[@Ciel1820]

I stopped watching at around season five, I caught a glimpse of the "Stakes" mini-series and felt interested. I saw a ton of bits and pieces of random junk here and there and found lore about the mushroom war and a ton of other stuff. I really wanted to pick up the show again but I couldn't find anywhere to watch it considering it's super unlikely to see it air consistently on cartoon network. (plus I was just to lazy to try and pick it up on Netflix) I really would be interested in it if i had the time, it seems to have picked up some interesting lore.

To me, season 6 was where it started to get really interesting. I had been watching very casually up until this, then starting on season 6 I was super interested in keeping up

[@SpongeyTheEditor]

I like Season 6 more than most, but it was a low point at times due to trying a bit too hard to recapture the magic of some of the beloved deep episodes from before. Season 7 really did bring it back, so it';s too bad CN kind of shoved it aside and everyone sort of forgot about it. thankfully, the finale is bringing everyone back to cry. Regardless of quality, it will really wreck me.

[@reeceispiecies]

this is seriously one of my favorite videos on KZbin. I am a huge fan of this series and I appreciate how much effort and detail you put in this video. Great job :)

[@brunolinares604]

Honestly, I didn't like how the Lich was handled. I would have liked to believe he was defeated for good in Season 6, but future episodes implied he was still alive in Sweet P and he going to come back for revenge. So I guess you can understand my disappointment when he was anticlimatically defeated in a random episode and now the main villain is some Bubblegum relative just brought up in the very last season -_-

[@PBDNR]

Yeah totally it's sooo terrible that the show took an absolute evil death machine, and brought it to life, gave it a good loving home, and then it decided that it wants to fight against it's evil inclinations, and 1000 years later is still a hero who looked up to Finn. I cannot think of a worse way to handle the lich. It would have been much better if they punched it till it died and exploded.

[@PBDNR]

I have issues with gumbald, but he wasn't the actual final villain. Golb was, as was expected for a long ass time. I wish that there was another betty episode explaining how she got to Golb, but I can chalk that up to the show being rushed to end. Gumbald was basically PBs past coming back for revenge, with the rebirth of the world, which is definitely an interesting thing thematically. And gives us lots of insight into PBs relationships with her other candy people. After gumbald she learned to not make them too smart, and to just focus on making them safe and happy, which explains a lot. While i wish we had gumbald as a more fleshed out character, I'd say that the dream sequence in the finale was definitely a satisfying conclusion to PB and Gumbald.

[@PBDNR]

@Xae Dota PB and Marcy have kinda been a thing for the last 3 seasons if you haven't been paying attention. The subtext was also there since season 3.

[@PBDNR]

@Xae Dota Alright, I know what that feels like to think a scene feels forced. But I still don't see the problem with Marcy's dialogue. "You're okay, you scared me.. even when we weren't talking I was afraid that something bad would happen to you and I wouldn't be able to protect you. I don't want to lose you again". Marcy just thought PB got splattered, and then she turned I to the vampire essence beast thing. So she like had an adrenaline rush and finally just said how she feels. If anything I thought the LSP kiss felt more out of place. The PB one seemed natural to me.

[@PBDNR]

@Xae Dota I mean the kiss wasn't really trying to be a surprise sure, I don't see the issue with that. The most notable thing to me in that scene was Marceline mentioning PB's weird phrasing. Lol PB has been phasing things weirdly forever and now it was finally mentioned.

[@jackcarrington7072]

I believe that you either really love or really hate season 6. There is no in between. I am one of the people that loves season 6, it's one of my favorite seasons. I can't really explain it, but I believe its the fact that I was around when the show started. I got the full dvd set, and just binged the whole thing. Maybe if I were watching the season live, I would have different feelings. Although there are a few episodes I really don't want to watch (like "sad face" and "on the lam"), the majority is just fun. It even has some of my favorites from the season ("Food Chain", "Thanks For the Crabapples, Guiseppe", "Is That You?", "The Pajama War", "Walnuts and Rain", "Jermaine", and "Jake the Brick") I can't fully explain why I love this season, but I just do.

In one breath you're saying that the show lost the quirky randomness that it had during the first seasons, and in the next breath you're complaining that the mytharc-related episodes were too spread out to keep momentum. Make up your mind! Fine if you prefer early Adventure Time to late, but don't just mindlessly criticize plotpoints, contradicting yourself.

I wanted more clear answers as the show progressed and often times I always felt the writers betrayed the fans of the show with overly complex to cryptically vague resolutions. As the seasons rolled on I found myself just accepting the fragmented story telling which ends up low key brilliant. If you put yourself in the frame of mind that this story is being told to you by a little kid you happen to bump into over the years, it seems to makes more sense. The story scope is small and the conflict remains mostly localized to a few characters, until a flash of chaos spills in to world building and plays out as a wild fantasy of a child.

I forgot how happy the show made me and even after the years I stopped watching it still felt like I knew the characters so well. They felt like old friends to me.

I’m very late to commenting. But I have thought this for the longest time and this video explained everything I have felt about season 6-10. It just didn’t have the same vibes as the past seasons. Even though there were a lot of banger episodes in between most of it was not about adventuring and the story went to a weird place

[@booboomansam]

I’ll have to politely disagree. Just finished my binge, and I don’t think it got better or worse. It’s was just always good. Also jakes lazy traits have always been a thing. Like the witches garden episode.

[@finnthehu200]

Dude, you just reminded me of my favorite show. I stopped watching TV a while back, and I'd kind of forgotten how much I'd enjoyed the show as a kid. Me and my family watched every episode as they came out, but over time I kinda gave up on it. Thank you for making this video, and now, if you'll excuse me, I've got like 2 or 3 seasons of Adventure Time to catch up on.

[@coreycox5612]

Season 6 was really the only problematic season there the rest were just awesome i also really like the alien jake arc

[@mechajay3358]

_This series review of AT has been _*_Mathematical!_*_ Solid work Nick👍_

[@gavinsteele356]

I just spent the last week watching the whole show start to finish. It is really solid, just really easy watching TV but it lacks an over arching plot that feels planned or built up to and I agree that there is perhaps too many episodes that don't really server in developing a character or overall story. The finale to me felt rushed like they had too much to try and tie together but all in all I'd give it a solid 8/10 for he dynamic of Finn and Jake alone. Also I think the BMO adventure is worth a watch but the PB and Marceline one is weak but that might just be because I don't like the inconsistencies in PBs character and how she feels like the only character that never really grew or changed over the the shows span.

[@Jayo_businessmansavior01]

I can agree and I'm still watching the show. Currently on season 6 which is not great but binging through it for now I'll give it a 7/10. Like you said, it's solid at best but in no shape or form is it a masterpiece.

Although there is some good criticism in here, you definitely bring good points, it's like you're arguing against yourself the whole time. At the end of the day you described the series as taking a fall in season 6 only to get back on its feet. Personally I loved every single bit of adventure time, and I actually think the best archs of story are in this part more than the first five seasons. I'm re watching the series as a 19 year old and I can't stress enough how Marceline's and Simon's arch is possibly the best thing adventure time ever did. Everything that concerns Jake's development and Finn's relationship with his parents is also short of incredible, all the short series are of exceptional quality. Then obviusly, I hope you slightly changed your mind after seeing the finale, possibly one of the best final episodes of anything animated period. In conclusion, though this comment might be cluttered, I mean to say that for me and probably the majority of the people that decided to give Adventure Time a serious watch when older, the serie is a continous hit.

[@sigh9913]

I actually think Adventure Time does a great job at not taking itself seriously, whilst still acting dumb.

[@animefan77]

I think more accurately to say that Adventure Time took some questionable, but sometimes good plotting in season 6, got good with Season 7 again before going into the shadows with a mix of ok to some decent concepts for seasons 8-10 before ending in a mixed, but memorable finale with heartwarming fulfillment with some bittersweet undertones. It’s not that it became too lackluster, it just decided to humbly end on its own terms while giving other shows the spotlight since it served its purpose in making those shows a possibility with the game changer that Adventure Time really was to the animation media.

[@KrypticAsylum]

The main characters got shafted in their own finale. But then I realized, it's because Finn/Jake weren't the main characters anymore, Marcy and Bubblegum were.

[@huynhvuongviet2410]

That's just stupid. Finn and Jake are literally the face of the show.

[@ConcealedWeaponry]

@@huynhvuongviet2410 They could've at least put more focus on Finn and Jake during the whole thing. I mean really, what was the reason they were there but to help the others? They barely had a purpose in the finale besides being support.

[@huynhvuongviet2410]

@@ConcealedWeaponry yeah. The show deviated so much from the original. It's true that it's important to learn and understand other characters as well but to this point is ridiculous. Also, yeah they should have given Finn more role during the final boss but they still manage to do the whole Simon romance with Betty sub plot good enough imo.

[@sovietww2radiooperator141]

Thanks for all the the fun and memories. I did not think that this day would happen.I was only four when it was made but I still watched it. Rip 2010-2018.

[@PickleManDylBoy]

May be just me but I don’t like the marceline and PB relationship. There was absolutely NO hints about them being together like that and I believe the show described them as good friends and nothing more. I just feel like it came out of nowhere with no solid base and was thrown in there just because why not.

[@jenisia3600]

[@A-Oh-Trey]

"Energetic" was a great word choice. That's what the show really started to lack for me: the same energy and fun from seasons 1-3. The more philosophical and experimental era of the show really did drag it. But like you said, the characters and the world always kept me watching. And it really did redeem itself Stakes onward. Gonna miss it.

[@ElhuSCIENCE]

Man... I used to love this series. I stopped watching around season 6, but this video made me watch the Bun Bun episode, and it was like a rush of good memories came back. Definitely my favorite kid's show after those I grew up with during the 90s.

[@blockpartyrobotleague]

The Mountain is when I stopped watching. The whole Orgalorg plot is also 'Skinner is actually Armin Tamzarian' turned up to eleven. Thanks for these retrospectives! I forgot how many funny moments there were in AT!

[@PBDNR]

While Gunter turning out to be Orgalorg was a bit silly, we always knew that there was something up with Gunter I mean Gunter had a magic cat baby and Marceline's dad is scared of him. Also the comet is one of the best episodes of the show so I have to like orgalorg. I still kind of feel like The Comet should have been the final act of Adventure Time because it's basically the conclusion to Finn's character development. But the show wasn't ready to end then, and I'm glad it didn't.

[@MeatyController]

Up yours, children!

[@zacheryturner8694]

I do appreciate that Nicktendo share his opinion. I disagree with a lot of his feelings towards some episodes but my viewing of this show was more on Hulu. So I viewed a lot of episodes back to back so call backs didn’t seem pointless. And even if I didn’t like an episode I still appreciate them for what they are. Also islands to me is pretty solid for its stand outs. I’d like to see Nicktendo discuss Mission Hill and Close Enough.

[@exeacua]

I really want to watch your Adventure Time comics video

[@gonkfart]

What ever man. I enjoy every episode. You’re allowed to have your own opinion, of course. But I enjoy the fact that It can be funny and serious at the same time. Of course the lazy jake part was kinda annoying, but every one of these characters have phases and personality changes. I’m glad they did what they liked.

[@regionfuego6]

Finally someone said what I've been thinking for years! The change of story telling is just so big is unnerving. "Oh but the show just evolved you can't just expect for it to be the same forever" Regular show did an amazing job at sticking to a certain theme. Adventure time went from focusing on wacky adventures to life drama. "But you see, LIFE is the biggest adventure of them all" I don't need to know that, I have my own life to experience that, I can get other shows to tell me that, but when people change something I used to love and turn it into something unrecognizable while calling it the same show is just crossing the line. I wouldn't mind this changes if they changed it to Adventure time: [INSERT A SUBTITLE HERE] Like Naruto Shippuden or Teen titans go, something for me to know that I'm not watching the same show as before. But no they tried to pretend it was the same show, and it wasn't, it just wasn't. I'm sorry for this rant, I had to get this off my chest.

[@gungholio3416]

Regular show did not do an amazing job at sticking to a theme. By the last season they were in space or something

[@TripleR6000]

I thought I was the only one who stopped watching adventure time around season 6 because after season 6 I just stopped caring. Now I have to rewatch the whole show.

I felt like Season 6 was the point the show went downhill, and I kind of stopped paying attention to it until towards the very end, mostly because Cartoon Network kind of stopped airing it frequently in favor of Teen Titans Go, and that was around the point I stopped really watching television in general. At least it had a good ending in my opinion, rather than something underwhelming.

[@Milly4772]

I definitely agree with your thoughts on season 6. It was a struggle for me to watch through that season when binging the show
