Adventure Time/Fridge: Difference between revisions

* Adventure Time draws influences not only from other cartoons, movies and shows, but also from video games as well. In the episode "Tree Trunks", the Snake Arm Ruby Brain Beast has a magic gem weak spot, resembling obvious weak spots on enemies and bosses. In "Dungeon", Finn explores a dungeon a la the Legend of Zelda. In the dungeon, he encounters two boss like foes, the Demon Cat and the Bucket Knight, and when he finds a key to open a dungeon door, it's suspended in midair. In "The Other Tarts", Finn and Jake are carrying the Royal Tarts in an anti-gravity tote chamber, which has a red bar to indicate it's full. When tarts are removed from the, the size of the bar lowers like a health bar.

* Finn's phobia of the ocean (and ''only'' the ocean - he's fine with other bodies of water, like rivers or lakes) seems totally irrational at first - until, in "His Hero", Billy is described as having "slayed an evil ocean". [[Fridge Horror|Think on that for a minute...]]''an entire ocean'' can potentially be evil. It's absolutely massive, fully capable of wreaking terrible destruction on land (think tsunamis) and pretty much impossible to kill (unless you're Billy, [[Crazy Awesome|in which case you can just punch it to death]]). With that in mind, Finn's Thalassophobia makes a lot more sense.

*** Because of tectonic shifts that caused disruptions ''in'' the ocean, independent of the ocean itself?

* In "To Cut A Woman's Hair", we get to see Finn's {{spoiler|incredibly long, luscious blonde}} hair. Why is his hair so long? He's still a child and there's not a single parental figure around to make him cut it. Well, there's Jake and his parents, but being dogs it's doubtful that they'd force him to cut his wild hair.

* This troper didn't really understand why Finn used words like, "Mathematical" and "Rhombus" for catchphrases when it's obvious that he's horrible at math. Then it came to me: Finn knows Princess Bubblegum is a scientist and super smart: and what better way to impress her than by using super smart math words? Not too bright a plan, but Finn is a thirteen year old boy; hero or not, he probably knows next to nothing about girls.

** Or it's a joke based off of the classic 80's kid cry of 'Radical', itself a mathematical term. They've simply taken it to it's algebraic extreme.

* The name "Finn" is an Irish name meaning "''[[Hair of Gold|blonde]]''"; plus, the name comes from a mythological Irish ''hero''. Make of that what you will.

** Billy's name means "protector".

* In "Mystery Train" Finn turns thirteen. This episode originally aired on March 14th (3/14), also known as "Pi day". This sort of means that Finn's birthday is on Pi day. You can't get much more "''[[Unusual Euphemism|mathem]][[A Worldwide Punomenon|atical]]''" than that!

* There are many clues in "Mystery Train" which make sense and tie together if you know what happens at the end of the episode. A list of the clues can be seen [http://adventuretime.wikia.com/index.php?title=Mystery_Train&oldid=99494#Clues here.]

** Actually, if you look back at the scene carefully when {{spoiler|Jake is bitten,}} Marceline did find it odd for a split second, but immediately dismissed it. In her monstrous form, the expression doesn't come off well but you can tell she suspected something was up for a second before {{spoiler|tossing Jake.}} This is especially evident after we discover that she's not ''entirely'' evil.

* There'll obviously be a lot of this after "Holly Jolly Secrets", but one that stood out was a part in "What Have You Done" where the Ice King's crown cries and says, "I'm sorry, I'm so sorry..." after being put on the Shelf of Penitence. In "Holly Jolly Secrets", we find out that a long time ago, the Ice King was {{spoiler|a normal human being named Simon Petrikov with a fiancee named Betty. Simon was sold the crown and decided to put it on to give Betty a laugh. The crown showed him visions and caused a flash of insanity, however, and after a [[Noodle Incident]] Betty was mortified and left him. The crown causes Simon to go into loneliness and insanity, leading to the Ice King we know and laugh at. So in "What Have You Done", '''the crown is apologizing for the horrible things it did to Simon.'''}}

* Marceline owns several bass amps with her name as the brand. Guess who her [[wikipedia:Marshall Amplification|gender-bent counterpart]] is?

* Maybe obvious to some, but the setting of the show is in the Land of Ooo. And some pretty incredible and weird stuff happen there, making the viewer amazed enough to say "Ooo."

* The meaning behind the title "Holly Jolly Secrets". You've gotta admit, [http://www.formspring.me/MrMuto/q/269641347344897048 Adam Muto states a damn good case.]

* After the final video diary in "Holly Jolly Secrets", it suddenly makes sense why the Ice King would consider Finn and Jake his friends. {{spoiler|They're the only ones who stop him from hurting people and committing horrible acts, which in his final sane entry was his last desperate request to the viewer. In stopping the Ice King, Finn and Jake are fulfilling Simon's final wish and deep down the Ice King realizes this causing him to view Finn and Jake as thankful friends instead of bitter enemies, which otherwise would make more sense.}} -[[Tropers/Moon Leopard|Moon Leopard]]

* "Here lies Princess Beautiful. [[Department of Redundancy Department|She was so beautiful,]] {{spoiler|but died of baldness." [[The Topic of Cancer|I wonder what else might cause hair loss before killing it's victim...]]}} -[[Tropers/Rocky Samson|Rocky Samson]]

** I'll bite , What is the answer?

*** According to the wiki Cake was originally raised by the Ice Queen, so it stands to reason [[Pet the Dog|she might not actually want to kill her]], [[G-Rated Drug|just get her out of the way.]]

*** Or it could just be something to gain Cake's trust.

* Could the Lub Glubs be something that born from the Lich King? Think about it...

** There's also the fact that one of them was munching on a skull with a hat identical to [[Distaff Counterpart|Fionna's]] on it...

* Marceline's Dad is a giant dick. {{spoiler|No, seriously. When Marceline's Dad reveals his true form in his gigantic state he takes the shape of a ''[[Does This Remind You of Anything?|round head]]'' with a ''[[Does This Remind You of Anything?|vertical smile]]'' and ''[[Does This Remind You of Anything?|two sacks]]'' that contain ''[[Does This Remind You of Anything?|thousands of white, round-headed, squiggly-tailed souls]]'' who's only fiendish delight is ''[[Does This Remind You of Anything?|becoming bigger]]'' with ''[[Does This Remind You of Anything?|every soul he consumes.]]'' Not to mention, even before that, when you first see a glimpse of his true form when he tries to suck out Finn's soul, doesn't it kinda look like a ''[[Does This Remind You of Anything?|deep, fleshy tunnel to a small, round entrance where souls are contained]]''? To be perfectly honest, one could interpret this to represent either gender's genetalia.}} How this [[Getting Crap Past the Radar|got past the radar]] is nothing short of [[Fridge Brilliance]] in this troper's opinion. -[[Tropers/Rocky Samson|Rocky Samson]]

* Finn {{spoiler|trying to leave to Jake}} in "No One Can Hear You", considering Jake's mental state at the time. {{spoiler|The most important thing in the world to Jake was his surprise birthday fantasy, which he believed to have been waiting six months for. It must have been heartbreaking for Jake when even his best friend didn't believe him, and then lied and tried to escape twice.}} That was probably what caused him to completely lose it in the sewer.

** In the first episode, the character Cinnamon Bun is seen attempting to do a backflip after. {{spoiler|He fails.}} Episodes after that, Cinnamon Bun speaks like and acts like a person with serious brain damage. We just watched a character get brain damage and laughed at it.

** In Too Young, Princess Bubblegum is seen attempting to create an heir/son named Lemongrab. She fails. Scenes after that, we see he's clearly mentally unstable, and yet she doesn't have a problem with pushing him, making him cry, and calling him names. We just watched a more or less retarded character get abused by his only parent and laughed at it.

** Think about [[Complete Monster|The Lich]] for a moment. Ageless, endless creature who is also known for trying to end the world as we all know it? Who's to say he didn't succeed the first time. Perhaps HE {{spoiler|is the cause of the Apocalypse.}}

** In "Guardians of Sunshine", Finn and Jake get ''inside'' Beemo. One can't help but wonder if Beemo felt violated afterwards, especially after they literally tear a hole breaking out of him.

** The kitchen is on the ground floor. Point still stands, though.

* Why does Finn actually keep a piece of PB's hair? He may have a crush on her, but it seems their relationship could go beyond just flirting or talking....

** It's an old-fashioned thing, in ''[[The Lord of the Rings]]'' Gimli is awed by the Lady Galadriel's beauty and asks for a lock of her hair. Shows up in the movie too.

* When it was stated that after the war all the magic on earth returned, that must mean that humans were the reason it couldn't exist.

** That's a good theory but how would they be in his mind if he PHYSICALLY interacts with them.Finn also gets depressed, and has realistic emotions which wouldn't usually be shown in some kids imagination.Still [[Fridge Horror]] though.

* I don't know if this was mentioned on this page already. Jesse Moynihan recently said that Princess Bubblegum isn't just Lemongrab's creator... She's his MOTHER. That's right- Too Young was basically a whole episode about a mother abandoning her mentally unstable child, and bullying him. It isn't as funny to watch her push him to the ground, call him names, incessantly cause him physical pain by spicing, cause him to fall out of a castle window and smash his head into the ground, fall out of a tree... He may not be a nice person, but it's Princess Bubblegum's fault that he's like that. Instead of helping him, it seems as if she's more content to stick him a castle and have him raised by servants in isolation, and be borderline abusive to him. With this knowledge in mind, Too Young isn't really as funny anymore- it's really freaking depressing and disturbing. Even more-so that the creators of the show always manage to justify PB's abuse and neglect.

** This is possibly what he was trying to achieve by killing everything in Ooo.

** The Lich King might be the King of the Humans returned from the dead.
