You never realize how much awesome writing was in shows you used to watch when you were younger until you rewatch them in the future. Amazing video and analysis you've made.
Ngl I wish there was some like document or something going over all the deep shit in adventure time ( It would probably be really really long but would be so awesome )
I just saw this ep for the first time today and I'm searching for in-depth analyses, my gut reaction is to hate the whole episode. Kim Kil Whan might be an "adult" but he's a year old and Jake is what, fifteen? No excuses for how he handled their birthday but he's been handling himself fine for years, and adventuring is a job, and it's *so* fucked up to try to use financial power to control people. Like, that's actually evil, stealing a person's home is evil and it doesn't matter if it's legal. Did KKW invite Jake and Finn over for dinner before he stole the treehouse? I know it's one episode and they only have so much time to tell a story but having KKW escalate things so far and then turn on a dime because of a bad ocarina just felt so... sloppy, I guess. Also that was Jake's biggest sin, in my eyes, turning the manipulation around like "if I say I love you can I have my home back?" just feels so gross, but it charmed KKW instead of enraging him? What?
i believe pearl has bpd. she does risky life-threatening things like walking on the edge of the penthouse in the “mr.greg” episode, drives a car really fast, always shifts in the way how she percepts herself. pink/rose quartz is obviously her fp, she can’t imagine living without her even after she’s gone. the emptiness, the gimmick of the discipline to make her escape from the reality and so on… i, as a bdp person myself, can relate to her. she’s not doing sh, i wonder if it’s related to the gem nature, but all other things are possible depicting bpd…
I am still in awe that adventure time could expand the already beautiful masterpiece of Frankenstein by giving a well-deserved character development to the monster, wow
I get what you mean with the human zoo but you have to consider how that was the closest thing pink could do when as a negotiation with the Dimonds. Once pink fell in love with earth and humans she was against the diamonds destroying Earth. And they took humans into a zoo to “preserve” humans to shut up pink essentially and so that they could further their plan. Pink didn’t necessarily WANT the zoo,
She's a stepmom to her Deadbeat crush. She's just a simp, and she literally simps for a gem that causes a war that killed almost all of Pearl's friends. Shit ain't deep.
in the episode about matthew, the parallels to communism are really hard to miss. to be honest i don' t know what the writers are trying to say with it, but the lemonpeople are all working to provide for the community, they all eat the same food, ect. then matthew was all about giving up your individuality, becoming one, and essentially when he died he became a whole cult of depressed people.
I love the nature vs nuture debate with frankentstein its beautifully displayed with lemongrab and lemon white. The one who has been neglected been essentially the same is much meaner and becomes eviler.
I relate to some aspects of lemongrab cause he has lots of autistic traits. Like that line about not liking food on a blanket. Liking rules and order. Having a difficult time socially. It can maks you feel like an outsider and allistic people like PB trying to help can often make things worse like creating the other lemongrab.
