Adventure Time FINALLY Completed Finn's Story, But...

Adventure Time: Fionna and Cake's second episode, Simon Petrikov, is a reunion between Simon (formerly The Ice King) and Finn the Human. How exactly has Finn changed after the events of the original Adventure Time series on Cartoon Network? While Finn's entire story has been told, this new episode proves that his character is still developing.

We need to see him interact with his fanfic counterpart Fiona

[@Strivfer]

I have seen you on 4 diffrent channels now lol

[@StanleyNumber427]

Finn's story actually closed in Together Again. Fionna and Cake is way before that. The current adult Finn's not happy with his life, he's in fact coping with Jake's death, by going on adventures to distract himself from his grief. Finn spells it out in Distant Lands that he pretty much went on adventures to pass the time so that he could be reunited with his bro in the afterlife.

[@AL-lh2ht]

I don’t remember him saying that.

[@justkon1789]

@@AL-lh2hthe basically said he was always waiting to die to see Jake again

[@ved2360]

In fairness, Finn was always a freelance hero and explorer. So it's just kind of natural for him to keep that up. I think it's a little easy to overstate his grief. He lost Jake and never entirely got over the loss, but he moved on and was clearly capable of chilling out and maintaining his other friendships. Anybody remember that episode where goes dungeon-crawling to share his interests with FP? And the other one where he was basically loot-grinding as an addiction? Dude loves his adventures. Kind of makes sense why he thinks that would help Simon. It's not all just a coping mechanism. It's what he would've done with or without Jake.

[@Amatronix_0]

Yes, he said that, but there are other strange things. There is a difference in the shape of Finn in terms of hair, hand and beard and for some reason it is not clear whether it was really after Jake death or not, especially since he said: (Jake loves it) when he said it to Simon in the second episode ... But I say here that the intro itself shows something about the crash of dimensions until the events of the last episode of adventure time after the destruction of Ooo. For your knowledge the theory of dimensions is consecutive events when, for example, where does he wake up from sleep on the alarm clock of the live Bmo >> Fiona also gets up from sleep, but turns off the Bmo-like alarm clock, I don't know how ypu thought the events happened before the time of adventure, any episode together again, and the correct thing is The events that are happening are not before Finn and not after him, but at the same time and were shown on Prismo TV that even Finn and Jake before they grew up are still fighting a monster that is another world. In other words, they really died, Finn and Jake, but the current events are as if time is being destroyed and the sequence of events in which they are supposed to die, because of the introduction (Gulb's beheading), Betty and another world, not even written by Presmo.

[@willbrown6298]

It's really sad that he never moves on and as a result he maintained a destructive approach to life till the day he died. Did Finn not care about anyone else closely in his life that Jake was his only light?

[@olamideakinola7297]

I like how Finn is looking after Simon like he’s his dad.

[@limepie3801]

You didn't really mention that Finn is still running from his problems. All the adventuring and fighting is just to keep his mind off the bad thoughts, those most likely being the absence of Jake in his life. It's an unhealthy coping strategy that he tried to push onto Simon as well.

[@Vailskibum]

[@dunspartacusnormie8397]

One thing that really stuck out to me is that so many characters so far in this series keep telling Simon how much better or more enjoyable he was as Ice King, but Finn actually wants to help Simon move on and be happy as Simon. I don't think did help at all, in fact I kidna think he unintentionally made things worse, but its nice to see Finn still doing his best to help his friends. Also dear lord he grew up into a hunk.

[@hattoripool1533]

I loved the fact that we all grew up with Finn into Adulthood as the show went on from the first episode of season 1 to now. Almost a shame we didn’t get to see Jake with him (not counting possible futures or that one universe prismo was watching)

[@NintenSegaPlay]

I don't think it was another universe, Prismo was probably just watching the past

[@chistinelane]

​@@NintenSegaPlayI think Jake might've died a year or two before Fionna and cake. Finn had gone HARD into coping mode. Without Jake to chill him out, he's gotten more violent, and has tried to cope with THAT by overplaying his hero role, though he's keeping that emotionally shallow to avoid thinking of Jake.

Finn's actually coping with Jake's death, by going on adventures to distract himself from his grief. Finn spells it out in Distant Lands that he pretty much went on adventures to pass the time so that he could be reunited with his bro in the afterlife. He was applying the same method to Simon, but we all know it didn't work for Simon, as shown in that episode.

Finn's growth throughout Adventure Time was great and seeing him all grown up in Fionna and Cake is really cool.

[@Banjoisawesome]

I literally almost cried when our boy, Finn appeared! It was so good seeing him again!

[@21stCenturyNabokov]

While I agree that his appearance in F&C showed us that Finn still is a flawed character who will keep on growing as a character,I kinda disagree on Finn being hopefully optimistic and not understanding Simon.Since it is heavily implied that Jake is dead in F&C,I think he understands the feeling that Simon is going through when he says he misses Betty since it is implied both in F&C and Together Again that Finn never really got over Jake's death.After all he did admit that he always waited for the day he meets Jake again.I think his appearance in F&C shows us that he kinda shares a similar character flaw to one Martin has(He shares a lot of mannerisms with Martin in this episode for example the wink).They both try to distract themselves from the trauma of a tragic incident rather than actually confronting it and moving on.That is probably why Finn told himself to "Just keep him busy and everything will be fine." in F&C

[@AL-lh2ht]

This is a deep level of head canon

[@mahuba2553]

it feels SO nice to know that the people who created this care about us so much, it feels so amazing, its like they know we were growing up, and they cared enough to give us something we had in our childhood, but in a more adult way, its just so amazing to know they care and have true passion for their tales, truely one of the few things that makes me happy to be in this world, knowing so many great creators care about our generation🥰 its also very morbid to watch it, as my inner child is like "oh my god this is so crazy, they bleed now 😮", but my adult side is like "hoh, that is relatable"

[@teentitansgo1106]

This is a very different video than your usual posts but I like that keep it up 😊❤

[@khaliljuanjohnson2024]

Finn got really handsome and buff and hot. I can't believe how much he grew up, and his voice changes a lot and becomes deeper. Hopefully, to see more of him real soon in the future. Although he still has lessons to grow and I'm glad that he's still adventuring, although times he can be feeling emotional and sad whenever it's romances and arm losing, losing his best friend. Over the years since 2010 he was so energetic and righteous, clever and funny kid nowadays he's like a handsome young man and adult. He should learn that sometimes fixing people by taking them quests can be a bit boring.

Finn the human went from being a 12 year old funny adventurer righteous and kind, brave, and clever, sometimes naive boy to a all fully grown-up adult into adulthood with a fully deep voice by Jeremy shada. since Jeremy shada is 26 and i bet his finn voice is done changing in his age. Maybe sooner in the future we'll probably see more adult finn the human or finn in adventure time fionna and cake and maybe adventure time revival.
