Why do people like adventure time

I love animation and have done for the longest time. While it is not quite a timeless classic like Dexter's Laboratory and Courage the Cowardly Dog, it is far better than the contemptible Johnny Test and is on par with Chowder as one of the better Cartoon Network shows in the past 5 or so years. The animation I liked a lot, it had a unique stylistic approach to it. The backgrounds and colours are colourful and plentiful, while the character designs are both strange in a good way and interesting.

There is a memorable theme tune, hilarious writing and humour with some of the jokes appealing to adults as well and fun story lines complete with some stupid but very funny situations.

The characters themselves are strange, but they quickly grow on you and they are endearing very soon. And the voice acting is great. All in all, a very good show and far better than I hoped. Okay, I guess "Rick And Morty" is technically a better show, but you get the idea. In terms of regular CN shows, this one takes the cake I remember back when I first saw the pilot episode of this show on "Nickelodeon" and I immediately thought to myself that this was going to become the next big thing and that people would love it.

I had no idea it would even be a full fledged cartoon at the time. Lo and behold, it's a massive hit and deserves every bit of popularity. If I'm allowed to have a favorite character, it would probably be Marceline. I love her voice, her powers, her personality, just everything about it. Thank you for giving her one of the most multi-part episodes in the history of television.

At this point, it seems like Finn has had bad luck with literally every single female character in the entire show. At least Dipper has Pacifica by process of elimination. I wouldn't be surprised if he didn't end up with anyone at the end of the show.

What's great is that the show is wonderfully surreal and nonsensical, but it still has an ongoing story! This isn't like the cartoons of old where it would just show the characters dying or whatever all the time but instead one that truly builds on itself in the most subtle ways.

With such a huge cast of characters, it's great to see how every individual story arc is going with them. They really do work hard to make everyone important and include every character in on the details.

The animation style is just fun too. I just think the dot eyes beckons back to the "Peanuts" comic. Seriously, I sometimes think of Charlie Brown just by looking at Finn. It's sad how he broke up with Flame Princess. I guess you could say nowadays, she's an "old flame"! Hee hee! I think my favorite episode would be "Betty". It shows the Ice King's very old girlfriend back when he was human traveling through time to try to restore his sanity.

Anything serious with that guy is very well done and it's great to see such a goofy looking show teach us some really valuable life lessons. Even the minor characters are allowed to be developed and fleshed out. Character studies are always good and that's just what this show does. The Lich is probably the best villain and I do wish they would use him more.

Anyone voiced by Ron Perlman is going to be awesome. It seems like they are similar to "My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic" in that most villains just appear for a few episodes. I still find that show better as it has the best animation. It's great to hear a lot of talented voice actors too.

When you watch as many cartoons as I do, you tend to recognize the voices. I think Lumpy Space Princess is the funniest character, but even she gets her well deserved limelight. It's also great how the show has a mythology that gets developed more as the series go on. A lot of shows don't really delve into it that much. Then again, the stuff they do have is mostly subtle and hinted at, which ends up working the best for it.

Thank you "Adventure Time" for saving Cartoon Network in its darkest days as this was probably the show that saved the network from all those awful live-action shows.

May it live on forever! Or at least as long as the creator wants it too. John6Daniels 16 September AT is a lousy, overrated, cult show. I don't understand how a hashy looking show like this could be so popular. This show feels like a braintamper experiment. Like those from a cartoon episode of when someone watches the TV their mind gets taken over. Fortunately enough for me, it had no affect on me. The characters are by far questionable. Not in a good way, either. What's with all the pink? Last Words: Some shows on imdb are protected from actual honest and legit reviews.

Let's see how long this review stays up, maybe longer than this hash show. Obviously this one won't get tons of helpful because I'm interfering with their braintampering programming and I gave it a holy sacred 1. However, despite being pretty strange and surreal, I liked it, mostly because it parodies many archetypes of the fantasy stories. The best part of this show was the animation: It might look pretty simple, but it is actually pretty fluid and original, with stylish designs and expressive characters.

And that is much better than many horrible shows made with Flash Animation in the recent years, at least for me. I liked it, and I hope that Cartoon Network keep making shows as this. This show is overrated as heck. Totally random, not very funny at all, with annoying characters. Animation is good, but that's about it. WeAreLive 20 October Well my last review might have been way too harsh for this show but now I think I will give it a rewrite with my new thoughts.

They go on different adventures in every episode some episode might have to be in two parts but this show isn't afraid to do that despite being 11 minutes. This is definitely one of cartoon networks most popular animated shows.

Even if never appreciated it back then but it will be missed regardless of what I thought of back then and what I think of it now. It was very colourful there were definitely some bad episodes but majority were good.

This show will be missed and will definitely soul of Cartoon Network. Johnny-the-Film-Sentinel 24 September Adventure Time is colourful, fun, wacky as sh , hilarious and full of sexual subtexts. This is easily one of Cartoon Network's best works to come in recent years; and just like Steven Universe it has lots in store not just for kids but adults as well.

The characters and story-lines are so far and wide yet perfect for such an outlandish world like Adventure Time's. As a fan of animation, Adventure Time obviously lacks some things other shows may have such as animated nostrils on human[-like] characters , but I can forgive it for creating such memorable stories and characters that stick with you after you've watched just a single episode of the show, and that's what good television is supposed to do for the viewer: leave you wanting more and being absolutely-satisfied.

I am consistently surprised at how well written this show is; it takes a lot for me to become dedicated to a TV show, to the point where I watch every episode. Though this show is just as bizarre as Pee Wee's Playhouse or anything from Sid and Marty Krofft, its strength lies in its consistency and continuity, its identifiable humanity, its striking contrasts, and its irreverent, multi-level humor. I wouldn't call this a children's show, since a lot of the one-liners are obviously aimed at adults.

There are certain scenes that I have rewound to watch several times because they are so fresh and new, bringing to mind the observational humor of Gary Larson; for example, in one episode, a small bird lands on a window sill. When you expect it to chirp, instead it makes a sound like an alarm clock. This particular episode about a snow goblin? We see the goblin getting up in the morning, adjusting his eye, putting on a circle of sticks, and eating a bowl filled with a pear and acorns.

It sounds strange, but the way the action plays out is such an odd but charming parallel to everyone's morning routine that you can't help smiling. For anyone who wants to see a completely and fully formed world, filled with characters who develop from one episode to the next just like a non-animated program, and writing better than any reality show, check out Adventure Time.

It's not just for kids! JakeBrinkman 24 March Note: I have seen all 10 seasons Adventure Time is a hilarious show that never ceases to produce hilariously confusing quips and events. The show works best in its earliest seasons when it is mostly episodic.

The occasional episode that attempts to go back and explain seemingly random things from a previous episode only serve to ruin the joke from the previous episode, so I recommend avoiding those episodes. Also, the episodes that have overarching plots are, quite frankly, boring.

A long epic plot is not what the creators are good at producing, and it really shows in the final seasons, which are primarily just plot with significantly less humor. If you want to keep the series fun and interesting, here are the episodes you should watch: Season 1: 1a-3a, 4ab, and 12ab Season 2: 1a-2b, 3b-4a, 5a-7b, 8bb Season 3: 1a, 2a-3a, 4a-4b, 5b-8a, 9ab Season 4: 1a-2a, 3a, 4a-4b, 5b-6a, 7a-9a, 10ab Season 5: , , , 25, , Season 6: , 8, , , , , Season 7: 2, , 21, Season 8: , , 11, Season 9: skip Season 2.

Adventurous 59Tenzin 29 July It might be this influence that imbues Steven Universe and Adventure Time with a progressive ethos that few shows—children- or adult-oriented, animated or live-action—have matched.

Both play with gender and orientation. Adventure Time has ambiguously gendered characters like BMO, who regularly switches gender pronouns. There are male characters like Jake who occasionally wear makeup to feel pretty.

It has also developed a deeply nuanced, dynamic group of female characters—Princess Bubblegum, the ever-sophisticated creator of the Candy Kingdom and scientific mastermind; Marceline the Vampire Queen, a punk rock half-demon and resident badass; and Susan Strong, a super-buff but gentle cyborg. These are multifaceted, flawed, yet decidedly awesome girls whose growth we have gotten to watch over the course of eight seasons, whose relationships with each other are valued and explored.

Marceline and PB have a centuries-long friendship, which the show has insinuated might have been romantic at some point in the past. It treats subjects like loss, romance, and aging with great tact and feeling. Its world-building is fastidiously coherent, for all its strangeness—the logic might be different in Ooo, but there is a logic and the show follows it. There are natural laws you know, the four elements—fire, ice, candy, and slime. There is a mythology with origin stories and an explorable cosmos.

The Ice King, the original antagonist, changed from a princess-obsessed aggressor into a deeply sympathetic oddball. Through a series of flashbacks, the cold-hearted sorcerer was revealed to be a confused old man, the victim of an ancient curse, and at heart, an immensely good person. Each character has evolved substantially since the series inception, as has the world of Ooo. Young children watching Adventure Time from the outset will have grown up with Finn, as the previous generation grew up alongside Harry Potter.

Watching Finn develop even keeping the same voice actor , from a dumb kid looking for a fight, into an emotionally balanced pacifist, reflects their own personal growth into adulthood. While the direction of each episode can veer wildly, the theme of change is ingrained throughout. The characters are revealed to have past lives, different timelines, even gender-swapped doppelgangers that exist in fanfictions. People and circumstances change constantly; purity leads to corruption, and redemption can arise in even the darkest soul.

And that unique approach to morality, of good and evil occurring in every individual, is a hugely important aspect of life that the vast majority of children's fiction out there refuses to acknowledge. But Adventure Time tells a tale of a world utterly annihilated through human stupidity, then regrown from the ashes, weirder and more wonderful than ever before, a hodgepodge of oddities fused together with toxic waste and chewing gum.

Sadly, Adventure Time is set to end tonight, with the Candy Kingdom drawn into war, Princess Bubblegum keen to send her candy minions to die, and Finn desperately trying to prevent the pointless bloodshed. Adventure Time taught us that change is inevitable, sometimes for the worst, and often beyond our control. But the end always marks a new beginning.

We should be thankful that the show went on far longer than anyone anticipated, and even expanded beyond itself, with many of the animators inspired to go out and create unique, bold animation like Over the Garden Wall and Steven Universe. A new, golden age in animation seems to have been inspired by Adventure Time , and judging from modern-day phenomena like Elsagate , we desperately needed it.

We all require emotionally complex stories, children especially, and while one great tale is about to end, others are already rising from the ashes.
