Holy shit. I watched ‘Three Buckets’ on Foxtel to see if they censored it and they took out the whole ‘Fatality!’ scene. As in after Finn says ‘finality’, Fern just explodes.
They made it worse. They made it look intentional.
Also BMO says “whacked” instead of “killed” which makes it look even MORE intentional. Holy shit.
Beloved characters associated with the color green who were killed onscreen before being taken in by a guy in blue with a beard, placed in a vat and eventually be revived only to have become an evil version of themself with a sickass horned helmet and multiple eyes
literally all finn wants to do ever is go on adventures with his friends, help people, hang out, and love a lot. that's it. and all he fucking gets is TRAUMA
A visit to some old ruins turns upside down when a jealous Fern traps Finn inside the place in hopes of becoming the “new Finn” when Fern wants to be more like his human counterpart rather than himself. The Season 9 Finale, “Three Buckets”, premiered on this day, 6 Years Ago.
last night my spouse and I were talking about how Gumbald knew what the effects of the dum-dum solution would be, specifically because we don’t see any evidence of test subjects. Mr Creampuff was floated as a possibility, but if that were the case we’d likely see him get reverted by LSP, which we don’t.
and the thought occurred to me: what if the dum-dum solution is magic? this, to me, would explain its behavior (equally effective taken internally or externally, the complete bodily transformation that can only be undone by anti-elemental magic, the puff of smoke effect) and Gumbald’s confidence in it without testing more soundly than it having been made with mundane chemistry.
here are the titlecards for my favourite adventure time episodes. I cannot even begin to express how episodes such as Finn the Human and Jake the Dog changed me when I was a child.
