THE COMET: The Meaning of Finn's Life (Adventure Time Analysis) 

If you really think about it, Martin has lost everything, even most of his sanity, so it’s understandable why he accepts everything.

This is why I love adventure time, it's so childish but when you truly pull it apart it's deep and meaningful

I don't really remember what it was exactly, it's been a while, but there was something real poetic about Finn's dad just disappearing out of existence after all the emotional labor Finn put into him.

Martin was always interesting to me. The lack of responsibility, stemming from his fear of losing freedom, is why he is more of a child than Fin. And why his story ends when he becomes… nothing. Nothing is… the ultimate freedom?? Idk. Martin and Fin’s relationship and as individuals will always be so interesting to me. PLEASE dedicate a whole video, if you can, to grass-fin. If you can, they are one of my favorites and they are so complex ❤

mg why is this show so deep...i could cry cuz i miss the innocence of the show

Adventure Time has recently found it's way back into my immediate life somehow and am glad I found your channel! Also, your voice is very soothing and familiar somehow, nostalgic almost. Anyways, I hope you continue to do more on this series and perhaps even branch out to just as entertaining and thought provoking media.

2:07 I kinda always saw that as just Orgalorg acting like “yeah I’m bigger and cooler than you and you can’t do anything about it” Cuz every single being in the adventure time universe other than The Lich and Golb always have this kind of go with the flow vibe casual dialect sometimes it’s hard to tell whether or not they’re being serious

This is one of my favourite episodes. Existentialism has been a big part of my life for a while and this episode really was a nice way of thinking about it, your video presented the ideas very clearly. Not only the ideas of existentialism but also of the use in Finn’s life. How a character at the point of existential conflict has to make choices based on their outlook of their life, how they view meaning, of at all. Thank you

The editing on this video made me shiver, it's beautiful. You've really got something special going on here.

I somehow never even noticed that that was the last time we saw Martin. I don't think I even registered that he took up the comet's offer. I need to pay more attention, I think.

I know what he’s talking about, but Finn is friends with like 3 demigods and knows exactly what happens to you after death… he isn’t afraid and wants to see his life though before he was to retire to the dead worlds or reincarnate.

Dude keep posting adventure time stuff I love this shit

This episode is absolutely great. A great cap off for Season 6, and also a great analysis on how Finn goes through what he's going through in that episode alone, even when he is separated from Jake.

When I was a kid adventure time was just a nonsensical, funny show to entertain me. Now to my more mature mind, it explores so many facets of life and our individually and the duality of it all. Peak show

bro really got me contemplating my existence, just binged all ur vids & I frickin love them bruh

This soundtrack is mad. All the songs connect me to my childhood, feelings of escaping the day to day reality through games and shows. Now at 27 this is taking me back and it's beautiful to connect to my inner child again.

I enjoy listening to these analysis. It’s soothing, and in a way mind opening.

the ghibli music weirdly slaps for this video

There’s a kaleidoscopic breadth to scenes like this in AT that’s almost impossible to sum up from any given angle. They’re like Yin and Yang both explorers, one bound by the love of his friends and family, the other free but in the end, alone. Finn chooses to return to the existence he knows, Martin to the one he doesn’t - both choices being commendable. It really reminds me of that soliloquy in Hamlet - “To be, or not to be, that is the question: Whether 'tis nobler in the mind to suffer The slings and arrows of outrageous fortune, Or to take arms against a sea of troubles And by opposing end them. To die-to sleep, No more; and by a sleep to say we end The heart-ache and the thousand natural shocks That flesh is heir to: 'tis a consummation Devoutly to be wish'd. To die, to sleep; To sleep, perchance to dream-ay, there's the rub: For in that sleep of death what dreams may come, When we have shuffled off this mortal coil, Must give us pause-there's the respect That makes calamity of so long life. For who would bear the whips and scorns of time, Th'oppressor's wrong, the proud man's contumely, The pangs of dispriz'd love, the law's delay, The insolence of office, and the spurns That patient merit of th'unworthy takes, When he himself might his quietus make With a bare bodkin? Who would fardels bear, To grunt and sweat under a weary life, But that the dread of something after death, The undiscovere'd country, from whose bourn No traveller returns, puzzles the will, And makes us rather bear those ills we have Than fly to others that we know not of? Thus conscience doth make cowards of us all, And thus the native hue of resolution Is sicklied o'er with the pale cast of thought, And enterprises of great pith and moment With this regard their currents turn awry And lose the name of action.” Any way I view it, it’s beautiful Pendleton Ward really gave us something special with this show

I really love lava mans videos because not only does he take symbolism in art (like tv) but also things like morals and philosophy and puts them together and its so interesting to watch them cause it makes you think

Did anyone else notice that green comet had lich horns

this analysis was beautiful, please continue creating content like this

This is great It's midnight, I'm going to bed now

Adventure Time is one of those series close to me; from being so fun to being extremely meaningful in many ways. Thank you for your videos! It’s the kind of content I really appreciate from creators 🫶🏽 Your essay style is soothing and easy to digest! Keep going 🎉

dude i just found ur channel and your content slaps, continue the good work!!

His meaning is the same as our meaning, to pick and choose which moments we want to experience via the construct of time by partitioning ourselves into moments offered to us as if they were templates for us as that which lies in between mind and body. That’s why he had the luxury of choosing to stay, and why his father had the luxury of choosing to leave. We all have the luxury of choice.

I watched a whole episode upside down and didn’t even change a notice

Love your videos I’ve watched all of them now, keep up the great work!

Perfect. Thank you brother❤

how is this a kids show

Where you mean this is. The first video It's so professional made , Impressive

Thats so beautiful, i love adventure time and the depth and beauty at has, awesome video, thanks :)

'goodbye dad' . love it

Beatiful video. Very intelligent analysis.

Lmao the ending really did make me like

love your channel ❤

I love your videos!! I hope you make more steven universe videos, love the one about pearl

Holy crap just discovered your channel and I love these vids lol

...Finn knows exactly what happens when he dies he's been to the dead worlds...He's been reincarnated like four times...

great video

How tf was i supposed to understand this as a child

Wow what An amazing video. I actually cried.

Whats crazy is that finn did all this, only to lose meaning again. SPOILER!!!!!!! After Jakes Early death (Implied to be sometime shortly after the end of the main series given finns choice to age himself down in the afterlife to be more "Familiar". I wonder if adult finn would have taken that offer after losing Jake.

so good i love these man keep making them!!!

fuck yes new lavaman video nice vid dude this episode gotta be one of my favorite "Deep" Episodes

best at analysis videos ever bro

you guys think martin is in a loop for his life after he dissapears he could create a cosmic crime or get framed for one and it gets him sent to a diff citadel where a diff finn and jake free him and it keeps degrading his memory with each cycle from the stress of it all

I disagree that Orgalorg is a force of nature. The quote ascending in the ship always read to me as him transitioning from Gunther to Orgalorg. Orgalorg having just enough influence to convince himself to take these actions. He realizes what he’s supposed to do in space because he’s no longer clouded by earth’s gravity. I don’t think he’s a force of nature by saying “you can’t stop me, I’m orgalorg” We’ve seen in “gold stars” that Orgalorg has existed before there was nothing. He doesn’t view himself as capable of being defeated. I think he just has a massive ego. Compounded with seeing the comet, he might suspect that he’s the agent of change, making him even more confident he can’t be stopped

SPOILER I think it's really beautiful how Jake essentially did the same thing by giving up the top level of the afterlife to be mortal with Finn again. As of those connections are always worth struggling or sacrificing things for.

Adventure Time is the best show ever and it's not even close

hey, do you have your essay in text form? I'd like to read it by myself and try to understand it. Also, this video is beautiful, I liked it so much!

love ur videos. since.... today

I wonder what would have happened if the comet was allowed to hit Earth.

the minecraft music fits the feeling so well

Martin came back

Your videos are fantastic!

Tight. Thanks for sharing.

What's the song? Piano in the background?

Uh Finn may have accepted how his dad is ,but for me he's probably my least favorite character in Adventure time

I don't think it has anything to do with existentialism, rather cynicism. Nothing matters because of predetermination or the global consciousness or whatever its referred to as in this show. Existentialism really is a branch off of cynicism, and says that the true meaning of life is the harvesting of your own life's victories and losses; friends you've made and the impact from you to other people, the work you've done, the mark you made on the world down to the most minute detail.

what was the music you used at the end of the video.

Absolutely excellent

There is no meaning other than what meaning you find, the show makes that implicitly clear

Finn creates a god

I like your videos that is all good day

What's the name of the Minecraft music at the end

Please keep making vedios.

I know it’s just my spyware phone giving me adventure time videos after i watched it yesterday but none the less i appreciate this video.

what is the name of the intro song

what song is at the beginning

Dry hands hit me hard jeez

Evangelion anyone?

Perhaps all these oppositions, fate and free will, and meaning and meaninglessness are all a 'two different sides of the same coin idea'. Just like space and time are interdependent on each other, maybe other dualist concepts of reality work together in a way that is incomprehensible to the logical mind. We find ourselves trying to understand reality as having a singular truth, a single base, when maybe instead it is a bowl of well seasoned truth spaghetti all intertwined to create a fluid existence

👍❤️

And sometimes their homeboys will treat these girls better than the og ever did. End up getting married too, ya know? Honestly I think if one person in the relationship cheats then they never loved you and therefore shouldn’t give a fuck about, nor have a say in who you’re with after. I really do mean this for men too, so if she cheats on you go tf ahead.

U dirty bastard, as soon as that Minecraft music kicked in it was over for me 😭

Good good

Ehh, in that universe maybe. Maybe.

Okay but consider that you are not you but instead you are the one behind the eyes the thoughts you are the watcher this body this version of you is just someone you are experiencing who could only experience it in a way of being fully emearced in this is who you are this is it. But what if it’s not what if after you connect back to something n you go thru Multiple lives to fully experience what it is to be a being on earth

Uhh can someone tell me the song name in the begining? I heard it before but i never knew the name

why does an universal intention negate any arguments you make around 7:30?

I’m really glad they showed Martin accepting it. All too often films and tv shows have an agenda to push, to not influence the younger generation, so the main character always has to take the nobler road or whatever is deemed socially acceptable of that period. And this in turn, to me, can seem like a propaganda of sorts, to never achieve immortality, harsh reality is always better than false virtual worlds, but sometimes people are just sick of real life and it’s struggles and may be I would just do what Martin did. Having another important character to choose that fate gives the audience validation that it is a valid choice

Correct me if I'm wrong, but in Magicka, there's an idea of wanting to achieve apotheosis, but on your journey, you realize it's not worth it for one reason or another. This theme is explored in SCP as well. Sarkics Aya trust the meat instinct and mechanites embrace the mechanical fate of the universe.

yo can somebody tell me the name of the first song?

damn, I don't know if it's just me but I feel like you're cutting you're sentence short, maybe I enjoyed too much and wish it was an hour long video ^^

Fin is good Martin is neutral

*you’re

Amazing documentaries!! With all of the voice acting and jokes that goes on in the show I’ve never realised how *deep and philosophical* it can be! I’ve watched all your videos already, the way their produced i thought you had more subscribers! I’m a new sub! I’m looking forward to more uploads of yours🫶🏾

this was such a good video, thank you i never thought about the episode like that, i mean, i understood finns view, but ive never understood what is martins meaning now i do

God what a fucking good show

Finn met god and had a good time, and decided that he wanted to see the universe play out as he'd put alot of time and energy into it through all these lives

i think the reason orgalorg didnt know what he was doing or why at first was because his consciousness was squished down into a lesser form that couldnt comprehend the timescales and plans of the true orgalorg, but orgalorg still has an affect on the decisions and actions of gunter
