4/27/2023 0 Comments Mushroom wars adventure time dateIt would have been more than weird for Finn to lose his fellow adventurer in the middle of the series due to him being a dad now, so it’s only in this one episode where we see Jake be a proper dad. “Jake the Dad” is what fans have been waiting for ever since it was revealed last season that Lady’s pregnant, and the time has come for the puppies to be born. It’s an episode that just begs to be overanalyzed, but I think for us right now highlighting the two aspects mentioned above is enough. This is exactly what worked so well in Season 4 and so the show is building on that. This time around the theme would have been the five fingers, but since no one has five fingers in Ooo it’s actually the five basic tastes. “Up a Tree” is the quite unremarkable story of Finn trying to get his frisbee back from the residents of a giant tree, so it’s lucky that a more interesting episode followed. “All the Little People” is a shade thrown at shippers and the exploration of Finn’s weird fantasies, now that he’s in the middle of being a teenager. Hence why the solution in the end is rushed and doesn’t feel earned, but fear not as this was not the last we saw of the Farmworld and definitely not the last attempt at expanding AT’s universe.Īfter the heavy start “Five More Short Graybles” were there to help the mood. The audience had enough to think about as it was, with Ice Crown possessed Finn, regular half-demon Marceline (dead by the end) and Lich!Jake. This whole plot was getting heavy as it was, this was AT’s first real shot at doing something this big, so it’s good they didn’t overdo it. It’s kind of a waste of time when you just opened up a whole new universe, not to mention all the other potential there thanks to the Enchiridion, but at the same time, these scenes were needed. “Jake the Dog” is partly the consequences of Farmworld!Finn becoming his universe’s version of the Ice King and partly Jake chilling with Prismo and later the Cosmic Owl. It kind of makes you wonder where the equivalents of characters like Bubblegum and LSP are, but obviously, there’s no time to properly explore this whole new universe. A surprising amount of familiar characters appear in different shapes, like Choose Goose. Instead, we get Farmworld!Finn in action, as he tries to keep his family safe and fights the local gang. This is also why it was convenient that “I Remember You” aired just before “The Lich”, we don’t need any explanation as to why Marcy is guarding Simon’s skeleton. We can figure it all out based on what a shockingly different Marceline tells Finn. It’s actually great that the first episode doesn’t solely focus on explaining why Finn’s wish resulted in what we call the Farmworld. The Mushroom Bomb never went off, preventing the Lich from ever existing, but also preventing the Land of Ooo from existing. Finn wished for a world where the Lich has never even existed, which also happens to be a world where he lives with his parents, Jake is not a magical dog and in general Earth is mostly plain old Earth, not the magical land we got used to. “Finn the Human” doesn’t waste any time dwelling on what happened during “The Lich”, it introduces Prismo right on and before long we’re already in the Farmworld universe. ![]() Not that there was any doubt about that during Seasons 3 and 4, but it’s not just about a boy and his dog and their silly adventures anymore. As of Season 5, it’s not just about the Land of Ooo anymore, it’s about exploring multiple realities and events that happened prior to the Great Mushroom War and right after. It literally opens with the second and third parts of the adventure that the previous season began, and in those two episodes the whole universe of Adventure Time gets redefined. The end of Season 4 set up everything Season 5 needed.
