Editing Adventure Time (section)

==So, why the fuck is this on here?==

It is quite obvious that Pendleton Ward, the show's creator, is a [[Meme|<i>big nerd</i>]]. He clearly took [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fY0PGrst5oI many], [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-JJnri_I_hA&t=53s many] pages from [[RPG]]s, specifically [[Dungeons and Dragons|D&D]]. The show is notable for referencing [[cubes]], [[bear lore]], the [[magic|eight schools of magic]], and an [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ByIAseO8RFA endless cavalcade of fucking memes]. This is probably why some fa/tg/uy chose to add this page here.

Adventure Time started out as a simple "random is funny" cartoon. Add a grim and dark background to a colorful and funny show and you attract the kiddies and adults alike! The thing most people don't see, though, is that as other shows mimic its formula with mixed success, Adventure Time has actually moved away a little from the pure random, and now big episodes seem to be mostly split into two groups: The artistic (or batshit insane depending on your point of view), and the extremely serious and dark.

For example, after the battle of the Cosmic Citadel, Finn struggles with depression. Yes, the main character of a kids' cartoon has to [[Grimdark|struggle with depression after losing his girlfriend, having his father abandon him again, and becoming mutilated when he loses his arm]]. Shockingly enough, they actually do the best job of representing this stuff than any other media or cartoon, not overblowing it to shock or make you have feels, but gets to the core emotion and feelings that others just ignore. And on top of that there's (overwhelmingly decent) depiction and tackling of such issues as dementia, abuse, toxic relationships, power & authority, love, cyclical nature of history and when you get down to it even the meaning of life in some regards - all good material to mine for your games and life.

Overall if you like the silly but also awesome you'll like Adventure Time. If you want something new, edgy and takes dark risks, you'll like new Adventure Time.

Plus, the Demon Cat of Approximate Knowledge (that bares resemblance to a [[Displacer Beast]]) would be an awesome creature to fight.

To sum up Adventure Time nicely, imagine what would happen if Spongebob Squarepants and Hunter S. Thompson played a game of [[Dungeon World]].
