Will happen, happening, happened.
What an intriguing, emotional, chaotic, and bittersweet end to a wonderful show. The Gum War and Golb may become ancient history in the Land of Ooo's future, but you and I will always be back then. Adventure Time comes to a close, but it feels like the world and characters it created will continue to live on forever (figuratively that is, most of the characters are "actually dead" to quote LSP). Won’t you come along with me as I dissect, analyze, and share my feelings on the AT series finale?

    I return from my hiatus to bring you thoughts on the end of Adventure Time. While the series is over, I will keep discussing this brilliant show into the distant future. As a heads up to anyone concerned, depression is still kicking my ass on a daily basis, but I'm hoping I can push through and work on creating stuff despite that. I've been having more luck recently (as you can tell by my return), so let's hope I can keep it up. Don't worry though, I'm not going to push myself to my detriment or to the point of burn-out. I'll continue to place my health first, but I do legitimately feel better when I manage to be productive. It's just that my flavor of depression is the archenemy of productivity, so it's a big dumb psychological battle in my brain goo. Anyway, my current goal is creating two videos a month (assuming they’re not super long like this one). Thanks for sticking with me, everyone! Creating these videos takes a really long time, and the YouTube copyright system has been royally screwing me over and making the process more excruciating than it should be. If you happen to be financially stable and want to help my channel grow, I would greatly appreciate if you consider supporting me on Patreon: www.patreon.com/uncivilizedelk To catch my future livestreams, follow me on Twitch: www.twitch.tv/uncivilizedelk And I’m also on Twitter: twitter.com/uncivilizedelk Thanks again, and I’ll catch you on the flip!

    Even 1000 yrs. Later, they're still squatting in Marcy's house.

    The future ooo makes me sad, the gray faded colors and realizing that a lot of the characters I loved are gone. It’s really sad

    i forgot where i heard it, but jake wasn’t able to hear the singing hole when we first were introduced to her. But at the end of the finale he’s able to hear her and that’s because he experienced great loss when he saw that his home was smashed to pieces.
  • Did you guys notice that Shermy and Beth are linving in Marceline's former home just like Finn and Jake used to live in Marceline's former home, the tree house?
  • I'd just like to say, Frank and Phil are the names the Demon Cat, who claimed to have approximate knowledge of many things, called Finn.
  • They brought Shoko up because Finn asked “how long have we been friends” and allowed PB to recall just how long they’ve been friends.

    I think Jake being reincarnated into his family line is actually kinda sweet. Jake never got spend much time or have relationships with much of his family.
  • Simon is still probably immortal, as she wished to “use the power to keep Simon safe,” which would mean keeping him safe for all eternity. Edit 3 years on: Also death said he wouldnt come back for him until the sun blew up, thats probably more important

    13:00 I’m pretty sure the reason why BMO “forgot” Finn’s name is referenced in episode “Be more” in season five when BMO hides in a box, carelessly deleting some core files to stimulate himself. One of the files was even named Finn.stuff. Its kind of upsetting that BMO is still doing this kind of stuff, if i’m not wrong.
  • Actually, Princess Bubblegum's Jellybeans turning into birds makes sense BECAUSE it doesn't make sense. Let me explain: If Golb lives off of, and creates chaos, then why wouldn't the beings it creates also do that. Imagine if you shot a rocket at something, but instead of it blowing it up, it just scatters glitter. The idea that Princess Bubblegum shoots jellybeans, expecting them to hurt the Golb Beast, but instead they turn into Birds would be VERY confusing, especially to a character so deeply rooted to logical thinking. And in most cases like the one presented to us in that scene, confusion leads to chaos, and chaos leads to more food for Golb.

    I think lady cooking her pups could mean that she is the one raising them and making them into the person they are. Jake might have inner fear that he wouldn’t have any control or say on how his pups are being raised. That they would come to their mother instead of both their parents.
  • @Jaeeden
    Fern carrying Neptr is a callback to him saying "I'm a Neptr Guy!"
  • @DefenJer
    The review was an hour and 18 minutes long, but somehow felt short... That's a sign of a great video!
  • @owloko1349
    I was already crying but when Simon said: "Hey no one gets to choose how it happens". It broke me so much, because it's so true and the delivery was so real that it made me feel all the feelings
  • I think the separation of the “3 bubblegums” is similar to Aphrodite, as in late Hellenistic religion the attributes of Aphrodite seemed so contrary to one another that she was separated into different goddesses, Aphrodite Urania and Aphrodite pandemos. Aphrodite Urania was the more holy goddess, a motherly goddess of true love and fertility, a pure form of love. Aphrodite pandemos (or Aphrodite “for the people”) contains all the promiscuous, jealous and cruel behaviors characteristic of her in the myths. I think because of pb’s status as a goddess, finns mind has done a similar thing.

    In my vision, the finale is sad ending, I just can't help but get a heartache whenever I even think about it Looking at other shows finales just don't hit as hard, even Regular Show, which made me cry when it ended doesn't hit me that much now I think it's the fact that literally everything changed, and that almost no one remembers the characters, Bmo forgetting Finns name was a fucking gut punch man
  • @dandyman2182
    I thought bonnie seeing shokos arm was more of her just thinking about her history with finn in general and how she even knew his incarnation from a previous lifetime
  • @mykephoon5836
    Finn’s love life is a very interesting thing in the story. He canonically dated PB when she aged down to his age, Marcy jokingly flirted with him and even made her own Fionna and Cake story about it, is now great friends, not only with PB and Marcy, but also his ex gf flame princess and has an off and on relationship with huntress wizard. I think considering he is the hero of Ooo his love life being non existent or at most on and off relationships that leave no grudges are the best in line for his character at the end of the series. He was obsessed with being in love for half of the story. Being content with being alone romantically is the natural progression of his character imo
