Why Fionna and Cake is a Perfect Spinoff Series 

I like that it was set up early and got gradually expanded on. It's an established part of the world that has limitations and rules, there are understandable reasons for why events play out how they do not just an excuse for the plot to move forward

Adventure Time already had the multiverse as a central plot point. Definitely helped it feel not shoehorned in.

I never thought that adventure time would still be relevant way past it’s ending is truly crazy to me. Not only that, every entry has been well written and made with lots of love.

I dont think you can watch this show without watching the original adventure time show or at least a recap of it.

@@JEvans-wy9ln you can. And it still has a story that stand on its own. But you’ll be missing the bigger picture

@@ammonite0257 not really. Too many important information that would leave people confused if they didn't see the original

@@JEvans-wy9ln this is what I was thinking Being a new story with new characters doesn't take away the fact that it's a continuation, and that there are way too many facets of the show that you just wouldn't really understand or appreciate if you don't know the context behind it

The only thing I felt was missing was the music aspect. The show has always showcased music in a very raw and underproduced form that I find really endearing. I wish they had explored that more given that it was such a major part of the original series.

Ur kidding right.. Prince Bubblegum and Winter King’s voice acting was horrendous

@@poopers197 go back and rewatch the show, but this time use your ears.

@@Lolo_225 no thanks I’d rather watch the real Adventure Time over that lifeless garbage

@@poopers197 TOP 10 LEAST INTERESTING RAGEBAIT COMMENTS!!! NUMBER 3: THIS SHIT!!

The finale felt so "were not sure if we are cleared for another season and we want to give the fans what they want but leave it open for more"

What closure for fin ? Fins closure was in “together again” after he’s dead.

I agree, I think the ending was great but it needed some more breathing room

Finn already got closure in Together Again

@@boomgirlbucko idk I feel like I want to see Finn living his life qnd not avoiding dealing with the pain of Jakes death

It helps that, unlike Finn, Fionna is already an adult. She may be childish, but she’s emotionally mature enough to understand the not so nice implications of her actions.

@@veronicapiccinini7956 exactly. finn was conditioned to it at a younger age so he didn't realize what he was doing. and then it was basically just normal for him.

@@chastox another contrast between them is that part of the reason why Fionna was already “mature” is because she forgot her past life as a heroine from a whimsical, crazy world (though there are remnants in the form of vague, weird dreams), forcing her to start over and create a personality of her own. Also, unlike Finn, who has the tendency to repress his most painful memories and wrongdoings in the vault and forget about it, in a blissful yet unhealthy denial, Fionna does think about them head on, and accepts them as a matter of fact. Even when she bottles her emotions up, she’s not afraid to express herself when she can no longer hold them (like her fallout with Cake)

​@@veronicapiccinini7956I think Fionna still want a magical world but she refused to it for the sake of her friends... wich is pretty sad...

Fionna feels like the older sister to Cake, where as Jake is obviously Finn’s older brother. It gives their relationship a unique identity from Finn and Jake’s iconic brotherhood.

That part was my favorite part of the whole finale: becoming aware of this power dynamic in their relationship, and coming to terms with its outcome of losing Betty. They made their choices.

Sure, but it isn't his fault. He just didn't know she was obsessed. Betty basically put him on a pedestal while he saw her as a princess. That happens when you don't see yourself as much while someone else may see you as a god. Simon was surprised Betty even read his work, because that's how he sees himself: as lowly, and everyone else laughed to his face. Despite Simon's protests, she will still sacrifice for him, because, well, it's Betty. She literally shoved him out of GOLB, despite him urging her to save herself. She mainly just does what she wants most of the time. You think Simon wanted her to give up on her dreams and sacrifice? No. But he didn't notice, because Betty WANTED to sacrifice for him.

@@auburneytuckerson2959 that's also part of the tragedy tho, isn't it? both Simon and Betty put the other on a pedestal at one point or another while also having p huge egos, Betty started out as someone idolizing Simon and wanting to be his #1 supporter that never held him back bc that made her feel special while Simon made little to no effort to look beyond that yes-man attitude bc that was more comfortable and made him feel smart and reliable to always be right. (and both clearly very caught up in the general romanticism of their campus love story) with them both losing each other and themselves they would come to put one another on similar pedestals, too blinded by grief and the _idea_ of the other to accept them as they currently were, and willing to sacrifice themselves for the other bc that seemed preferable over another lucid lifetime without the other. Betty just happened to be the more assertive one in the end, quicker to take action than Simon (be that due to something always inherent in them or bc, while both being fresh out of wizard madness, Betty had managed to remain more lucid than Simon were as Ice King and thus wouldn't be feeling as disoriented as Simon probably was once back with a clear mind and all memories in order.)

@@TindraSan I don't think Simon was worried about being right.

@@auburneytuckerson2959 never said he was, literally never had to be because his own ego was being enabled by Betty

You should I loved it sm

You won't regret it and definitely bring some tissues

If you just mean liked it as a kid or something, make sure you’ve watched the whole series (and remember it) first, this is a continuation of Simon’s story so you should know previous lore. Also watch Distant Lands

It's secretly season 11

I think 1 season is fine but another season is cool ig

I knew it since I was like 13, watched it when it came to an end in 2018 and I was 23, rewatched again last year and still learned/understood more things about life etc..it's truly a show which is not completely meant for children

I hope we get a prequel of Fionna's universe before Ice King lost his powers in Golb. A special episode or two just to explore what it was like before Ice King turned normal.

it would be cool to see the gender bent simon since shes probably not the ice queen anymore

​@@m8mZshe's the owner of the ice cream stand at the end of the first episode of the show

@@geekygecko1849 oh shit thanks

@@m8mZ i mean the end of the first episode of Fionna and Cake

i like the headcanon that swear words were lost to history until Simon taught them to everyone again

@@icymoonsomg I love imagining Simon just saying to everyone “We say words like F**k and Sh*t,”

What makes you unsatisfied with it? I thought it was a great ending for the show, and that it doesn't need a second season. I feel it just needs a better ending for Fiona's arc, and better writing for Scarrab. Then again, I've never watched the original Adventure Time, so I might be missing some context about why this ending isn't satisfactory.

⁠​⁠@@sniderealism2410you really should watch the original show. It doesn’t change anything about this ending but it’s still a great show and this spinoff is a continuation of Simon’s story that expands on already established lore. Watch Distant Lands too

I feel like a second season that puts them through more hardship is a disservice 2 the characters. It simultaneously would b a jarring change 2 go slice of life. There’s no winning so I don’t want another season.

At first I thought we'd see some Ice Betty or something - seeing a future where she would've found/kept the crown would have been extremely interesting for sure.

I mean we do see Betty Golb

Betty is fused with Golb so technically means dead

Jake is dead by this time

bro unironically said that f&c is better than AT when it cannot hold a CANDLE to AT's writing, script and characters

That's a nitpick not criticism
