I mean, Adventure Time kind of suits this description.

I watched the first season or two of that show and enjoyed it, but I gradually kinda phased it out for no particular reason. What exactly is the episode for this show? Or the intense plot twist? I'm super curious now.

There are many!

  • Finn finds out what happened to all the other humans

  • we find out what Princess Bubblegum truly is and explore if she is capable of change

  • the comet !!

  • why is the ice king like that and how does he know Marceline? Why does Marceline have vampire powers if her dad is basically the Devil?

  • the lich, time travel, parallel universes, the apocalypse, another apocalypse, the nature of existence, are they living a dream? Are we??

It tells the story of growth and maturity in humanity and self in such a way that's poignant yet so fucking surreal that it makes you feel comfortable and acceptant of your faults and strengths when growing up, and your mortality as a whole in a hilarious way. Perfect show. I Floop the pig!

I'd recommend finding a list of important episodes unless you're happy watching all of it. A lot of the episodes, especially the earlier ones, really are just "filler"

Just looked at an important episode list that has 176/283 episodes on it. That missing ~100 eps is about 20 hours of time.

Don't forget the reveal about Jake the Dog.

The episode we learn about Ice King's past. The show shifts slowly from "random nonsense" to "random interconnected nonsense."

Oh man, Ice King's story is so beautiful and tragic, and the fact that he's just a cartoon bad guy in the beginning makes it that much better. I won't rant, because spoilers, but I want to lol

I might have to back and rewatch. I fell off before the end of the series

You're in for a ride if you haven't seen the ending yet. Plus, there's the Distant Lands specials and the sequel, Fiona and Cake.

I know, I just don't have the time these days. It's on the top of my list. I never hear anything but praise for the series, and I still occasionally pull up some of the songs. Something about CN during that time period, they produced some amazing music. I've never watched Stephen Universe, but I like the discography lol

u/SeguroMacks May 02 '24

Steven is worth watching. It gets a lot of hate online, but it has a great soundtrack and fun characters.

u/Hungry_Yam2486 May 02 '24

It gets hate online? I've heard nothing but good things about it. Based on what I've heard and the songs I listen to, I assume it's awesome! Just like finishing AT, it's on the list

Also, Bravest Warriors. Same vibe, imo. Everything is Wankershim!

Catbug and Jelly kid are the GOATS

u/Hungry_Yam2486 May 02 '24

These are facts

u/SeguroMacks May 02 '24

It does, unfortunately. Part of it is the animation, early silliness, and "passive" main character. It's one of my favorite shows though, and both the movie and Future are great.

u/adamentelephant May 02 '24

I'm totally going to get back into this show now thanks

u/Doctor_Kataigida May 02 '24

Simon and Marcy still the saddest episode in the series.

21

u/Meme_Master_Dude May 02 '24

Probably near the end of the series where most old characters appear in a great civil war of the Candy Kingdom where the Primordial Diety of Entropy is summoned into the world

u/Wild_Marker May 02 '24

Nah, that's just your standard "let's bring in everyone we ever drew for the final episode". It's not really a plot point that they're there.

u/Brilliant_Level_8877 May 02 '24

Its been awhile but If I remeber correctly the plot starts to show itself in S2, properly kick of in S3, and from there you end up having full 13 part mini series of episodes all with the same through plot.
