Fionna and Cake ended up being one of the best things to come from the Adventure Time universe. Here are my thoughts about the series

@@kiboma4209 I don't know if I'd say it rivals LOTR as much as seems to draw some inspiration from it. Both franchises/stories are lore-heavy and some of the character arcs remind me of variations of the character arcs in Tolkien's works. Maglor (the last of Feanor's sons) throwing away the last Silmaril in Silmarillion is similar to Simon letting go of Betty, to me.

It's so amazing that such an amazing show started off as just the Ice King's genderbent fanfiction. Also, all the trauma Simon has been through is just tragic. Man spent the past 1000 years having been turned into a mad princess kidnapping ice wizard, AND lost his fiancée because of it. And now he's told he has to turn back too restore magic to an entire universe. I'm glad he was finally able to find peace and is ready to just live life.

Yeah. I just hate the fact that the finale seems to gaslight him into thinking that he neglected Betty’s desires. I mean, the only time this actually happens is not having her go on the bus. The “choose your own adventure” for the crown doesn’t hold up because in reality they simply purchased it from a guy in scandinavia. The only way it makes sense is if all the expeditions they went on afterward were what he wanted, but the show never tells us that.

The thing that I really absolutely adore about the ending is that neither Simon nor Fionna got what they thought they wanted. They instead got a future without regret. Simon did not get Betty, but he got closure, perspective, and a sense of self-worth. Fionna did not get her magical world where she kicked ass. She got the same world she was in before but with a new sense of appreciation with what and who she had in her life. There were no right answers. There were just things that could have gone differently.

It kind of made sense to me. We know that Finn never really got over Jake’s death. From what we see of him in this show, and the advice he gives Simon, it’s like he’s using his endless adventuring as a coping mechanism to keep going. His attitude was upbeat the whole time, but I found it kind of sad. I think a version of him that has experienced a more stable, normal life might see things differently

@@linatwoones Your comment makes logical sense. At the end of this series we are given the illusion that Betty is dead because she risked everything including her life to keep Simon safe.

I had the same thing with my ex, she broke up with me a year ago and it wasn't untill 3 months ago i watch adventure time again and then watched fiona and cake a few weeks back where i realized my relationship was a mixture of finn and FP and simon and betty. I was FP being manipulated by a finn but unlike FP i didnt leave when i saw the warning signs and turned into betty who dropped everything and ignored my own wants,needs and life to completely be subservient to my ex who was more like finn but way worse honestly because she KNEW she was manipulating me and emotionally abusing me and she was 18 while finn was a hormonal 14 something year old boy that just got lost in his own hormones. Looking at the relationship through adventure time terms the heavy anger, hate, confusion i felt just disappeared...i felt lighter and i thought of her and for once thought nothing, if anything i forgive her for what she did. And im now finally in the healing stage.

All jokes aside, Adventure Time is, or at least was, one of the reasons I am here today. Got me through some really tough times in my adolescence and I owe a lot of who I am today to Pen and his team. These shows are so influential in pop culture and animation. The world will never be the same and hopefully we will continue to see amazing things come from their creators.
I'm glad the ending idea for this show wasn't "magic and imagination bad and just escapism, be an adult" She can realize it's not her idealized version of reality, but it also isn't empty of that magic she was looking for. She just had to change her perspective on it. In a similar way that Simon had to when it came to his relationships.
God this was great. Tom Kenny, lest we forget, is an absolute unit of a VA. This take on Simon is so good. And to use a fun side thing like Fionna & Cake to basically summarize the pains of aging and loss of childhood and the existential dread of mattering or not. The Finn & Jake reunion made me cry, and so did this.
I think it's important to recognize that Finn in this series is post-Jake's-death Finn. In Distant Lands, he clearly never got over losing Jake, and In Fionna and Cake, it's no different. He's been trying hard to stay happy go lucky and adventure 'til he drops without opening up his heart too much. We know Finn is capable of great empathy, and can connect through serious conversation, but at this moment in time, he just couldn't bring himself to be serious with Simon. In fact, Finn DOES know Simon was struggling a ton, so he showed him the only way to cope he knows...adventuring time.
It feels like some sort of insane miracle that I've grown up with this franchise for more than half my life, and it's legitimately growing alongside me and still feels as lively and creative as ever. Very few franchises last for this long and maintain this level of quality while substantively evolving the storyline and/or themes that came before it. I'm frankly just grateful for all the work the staff has put into making this series so special.
i didnt realize it until one twitter user pointed it out. but when it comes to the crown protecting simon, it doesnt just mean protecting him from outside forces. but also from himself. protecting him from his depression, and preventing him from going too far with certain decisions so it wouldnt lead to dire consequences. I love it:)
Being able to grow with Adventure time and its later shows is really a big part of it. Seeing Fiona deal with the mundane nowadays hits so hard. Im also glad we have a " normal" world but dream of escapism just as her
As huge AT fan I adore Fiona and cake I knew I’d love it I love the original series and distant lands but man FAC hit so different like it was truly just an amazing and deep story about growing up dealing with love loss sadness finding where you belong in the world just thinking about it right now has me misty id be so excited to see a season 2 but if it ends here I’d be perfectly fine with that I also just love the amount of clear passion put into the series you can tell it was meant to be speical
I'm glad you liked it as well. It's true that we have to live with our choices. There was a great post I saw explaining the main theme of the show: "The main concept of the finale seems to be there's no do overs. There's no going back. Betty can't take back her decisions. And Simon can't recover what he lost to the Crown. Ultimately, Fionna and Cake was a story of accepting your life, no matter how much it hurts to do so. A bad situation sometimes just needs to be left behind, or else you go crazy constantly trying to fix it. Somethings can't be fixed, but that doesn't have to be the ending." And I related to that a lot. I can't fix my past choices but I can learn to live with it and make better ones.
Betty's situation is horrifying to think about. Imagine being permanently fused to a chaos deity and being unable to do anything. In addition to never being able to die or escape from that fate
as soon as I read this title, I thought "same here" the last 2 episodes made me cry because I thought something would've happened to my most favorite character ever. I love this show so much I would watch it over and over again, that's how good it is
adventure time is one of the very very few series' from childhood that keeps getting better with age and knows how to add to its universe without new things feeling like a cash-driven project, which is so refreshing in this age of constant reboots. everything has heart and meaning, and i commend the team for creating such a wonderful world that i hope we keep getting snippets of for years to come (or until they decide it's actually over)
Fionna and Cake IS the series I was expecting when watching Bee and Puppycat. I am so glad we finally got it.
I really like when background details and small and seemingly insignificant concepts which you thought would probably only be used in one episode or scene from past episodes of the show get expanded on in this way. This is why I like the direction the franchise took.
I thought it was going to be just another reboot originally, but I was absolutely blown away by how great this show was and incredibly pleased with how they handled all the lore and source material
One thing I love about Fionna and Cake is how it recontextualizes Finn's role in "Come Along With Me". I used to be a bit disappointed that Finn didn't do much in that episode besides lure some of the characters into making a negotiation in a dream and then later pulling Simon out of Golb, but... Finn pulled Simon out of Golb. Without knowing it, Finn saved an entire universe by showing kindness to a time-displaced antiquarian. He saw the value of Simon as a person, and that led to Fionna and Cake's entire dimension continuing to exist.
It was a wonderful short series. The cast and crew did an amazing job with this psychological adventure.
I like to think that they left many loose threads in the final episode in order to get a second season and I for one advocate for it. Fionna and Cake is absolutely fantastic
I remember when this was just about a boy and his talking dog going on silly adventures and fighting an evil Ice King. It’s crazy how much the show has grown from that. 😅
IDK if I want another season. There's a few unanswered questions yes but not much reason for fionna and cake to get involved in. Seems like the best route is to make another series.
So glad you covered this! F and C was so surprising and unique, it made me so sentimental for AT that I'm giving it a rewatch. Keep the videos coming! That winter king ep was so good it needs it's own deep dive.
While I fell off watching cartoons when Adventure time entered its later seasons I was still so invested in these characters. The writing was incredible and the voice acting was top notch. The Flapjack cameo was also very appreciated.
Fionna’s journey is what stuck out to me, it was incredibly dynamic and super well-written, she started as an annoying egotistical insecure character, got a taste of responsibility, went through an existential crisis, started valuing the things she has, learned empathy along the way, and in the end she managed to accept herself for who she is, even if she’s a long way from perfection, will probably still struggle with making choices and regret, not knowing which way she should be. it all makes her feel like a real person and a very relatable one at that, i’m amazed they managed to fit and balance her whole journey in 4 hours of content along with other amazing characters, stories and themes, the pacing was perfect and it all felt so nice and neat, i honestly love being an adventure time fan right now 💆
There's been a lot of people who don't like the finale, that I've seen at least, but I personally really liked the finale personally! I think it concluded the season in a pretty good way :D

I think the rest of the show was so friggin good that the hype buildup for the finale was so high, it had no way of living up to expectations and wrapping everything up in a neat bow in just 2 less than 30 min episodes. like imo they were still good, just not quite as good as some of the other episodes. I'm just glad they concluded Simon and betty's arc and gave Fionna and cake room to grow and be independent in their own universe
This is genuinely one of the best animated series of all time. Adventure Time continues to be excellent and thought provoking and Fionna and cake continued that legacy so perfectly. I love how it explored the ideas of wanting more out of your life and learning to accept the hand that has been dealt to you. I love the narrative parallels with Simon and Fionna and I especially love hot the multiverse angle wasn't *really* the focus. It was just a narrative tool to teach them the lessons they needed to learn.
I think my three gripes with this show were GOLBetty, Scarab, and Finn. I was expecting GOLBetty to be more fleshed out, and for Finn to get to do something. Scarab started as honestly an understandable villain, but kinda just went insane towards the end, even when he no longer had to do his job. Hoping we get a S2 of Fionna and Cake, that adds some more for Finn.
This proves that animation is still alive
one small detail i really liked was cake gradually figuring out her powers

It was fun. Most of this were in "Destiny". My favorite was her interraction with Simon, when he trying controling situation.
The consistency of this series story is like no other compared to some AAA titles out there. The writers did phenomenal work.
9:54 that alone makes it the funniest crossover moment in any cartoon ever seeing Bender from Futurama along side Finn and Jake the Dog makes it the funniest moment ever
Adventure Time is one of the most influential pieces of art in my life, alongside THE "The Hobbit" if not more. I grew up with it, and the finale taught me tears of happiness. I went to film school partly because I wanted to make something similar. Now it's graduation year, and the series, my greatest inspiration, comes back. I feel blessed
I’ve waited for you to do a video on Fionna and Cake. I was happy to see you talk about this continuation
I really loved the series. Seeing Fionna older and struggling with adult challenges that I faced at the same age was so relatable. The conclusion was so good! I’m grateful we got to see these characters really developed further.
Just watched Fionna and Cake and have successfully completed my Adventure Time rewatch in its entirety with this new addition. I can confidently say this show is my favorite cartoon of all time, and every new entry of the story just cements that in my heart.
can’t believe they did my man good martin so DIRTY, he was definitely one of my favorite au characters
It's has been a LONG time since I've seen a series that left me gasping at the end of each episode and wanting to see more. I especially love how they had weekly releases! It was nostalgic of growing up having to wait for the new episodes to drop and gave me and my bros something to look forward to every weekend :)
I loved the series, the theme struck me deep, it really is hard letting go but is necessary to keep on, i think its fine where it ended and making a season 2 wouldn't be bad but i wouldn't be opposed to the idea, what i really would want is a season of adventure time with beth and shermy, that was a plot in the original that was interesting but only foreshadowed and seeing them again here made me more excited to learn more about them and what happened, in the end I applaud this series, it gave me a fun time even after all the tears it made me shed
Was waiting for your review thanks for the upload always true to the point.
Is it just me or has anyone else noticed a spike in “doomed” love stories over the past year or so. Edgerunners final fantasy 16 better call Saul and now this. Even TOTK to s extend was one . Not that is a bad thing it’s just a trend I’ve been noticing don’t know of EEAAO changed everything, Covid got everyone depressed leading to this spike or if it’s just a huge coincidence
According to the OST artwork on Spotify this is only Season One. So we may be getting more episodes, likely based in fan reception to this first season.
I like how Simon’s situation, parallels how he was in the past. All he wanted before was the love of his life, his princess, Betty. He loved her, but the crown corrupted him, making her love a need for him. By Fiona and Cake, he wants her back, but deep down, is seeking closure, not love. In the end, knowing that the Betty he knew is gone, he gains that closure, and is able to let go, and finally move on. He still has Marceline, but Fiona and Cake became new found friends he could relate to more. Simon may have not been able to get back the love he lost-Betty, but he did reclaim the years he’d lost to the crown, finally able to live his life.
Glad that the spirit of adventure time never dies
Watching this Fionna and Cake series definitely hits me in the feels watched all 10 episodes and it was Great
IM ABSOLUTELY IN LOVE WITH SCARAB

“oh no he’s hot”
You forgot some important things, Simon (or ice king) DID NOT CREATE THEM. Prismo created Fionna and cake, but he can’t make them canon so instead he transfer that world into ice kings head, BUT when he turned back to Simon, that world that Prismo CREATED turned into a normal world, which kinda reference on how Ice King is so magic and when he turned back into Simon, then your back into reality.
8 years old me in 2013 : "I love this show!" *A decade later* 18 years old me in 2023 : "I still loved this show!"
And so we say goodbye to Adventure Time…for the third time. I really hope this truly is it, because I don’t think my heart can take it anymore.
Man i loved the art style of the human world so much. The post apocalyptic looked amazing with this art style
IT MADE ALL OF US CRY MAN
There has never been a show quite like Adventure Time. It's just it's own weird little thing, they captured some kind of magic with that series and that world that nobody else has even come close to. One of my all time favorite shows, not even animated shows, just favorite shows.
I've only watched clips of Fionna and Cake, since I don't have HBO, but I still saw enough to enjoy the show and loved it so much. Seeing Fionna emotionally evolve, especially with how selfish she acted at the beginning, dismissing everyone else's dreams about how their world used to be as not as important as her on, including Fern, was wonderful. She still had that drive she'd had at the beginning of the show, but she understood that you have to think of others as well as yourself. The prime example being when she first sees footage of Ice King, she says he looked happy to dismiss Simon's comment about him being insane, but then, when in the Lich's dead world, she doesn't want Simon to become Ice King again because she understood he'd been miserable even if Ice King himself couldn't understand it because his brain was so bonked up from the crown... which I just realized, since Golb reverted it back to it's prime form, Gunter, Santa Claus and all the other minds whose imprint were living in the crown were erased from existence. Well, that's pretty morbid
its genuinely crazy that this show managed to mature and grow up with its fans as we watched it
I truly feel like this show, came out at the perfect time for me to be missing my childhood, but so ready for adulthood’s challenges in a way that just resonated perfectly for many of us right now
I want to see Fionna, Cake and Simon going on more adventures
I think the show was great for the fans, cant really see a second season because anyone outside of the fandom wont like the forced connections and refrences. You had to have watched Adventure time to understand a lot of it. Great "wrap up" and fun to watch
I can't wait for this to come out on DVD, & Blu-Ray!
Good to be nice and early for a new Saberspark video but, Cartoon Network shows are truly some of the best and have impacted everyone's lives like Gumball, Regular Show, Ben 10 and Teen Titans there's so many to count. In fact I don't think I ever truly did finish or get deep into Adventure Time like other shows I've gotta finish it and its specials. *Quite amazing though how so many of these tv shows started off light hearted silly and fun and then really developed these fantastic stories with the perfect touch of comedy*
Adventure Time so far has really good spin-offs and continuations from the main show. So long as they have the same crew onboard, I am all for more Adventure Time, no matter the main characters.
I NEED an Adventure Time episode essay by you
the design team for this show was amazing that cover for it genuinely is so appealing to look at every single time
I need a shermy and beth series now!!! They literally have a plot and villain ready. The revolution against Gibbon!
My only real complaint was baby Finn coming to Fionna's world for really no reason, the idea of Finn growing up in a vampire world and becoming the heroic vampire hunter sounded really cool
The Extinct World from Jerry is undoubtedly on the same level as the Mysterious Stranger segment of the stop motion Mark Twain movie.
I truly believe they could squeeze out a season two in this, especially with the other worlds that were involved. it doesnt have to be about simon and betty

Now that Fiona’s world is canonized, maybe we’ll get to see her and ooo Finn do an adventure together.
