I would have to agree. The silly, light-hearted episodes are part of the appeal, and like you say, the serious episodes have MUCH more impact because of them. The light episodes also give us chances to learn about the characters and get attached to them.

Cute episode, enjoyed the bait and switch with Connie in the wedding dress. Though I was disappointed that we never got to see what Connie wanted for the ending.

Steven expresses hope that the Homeworld Gems might see Earth and think it's great, so I'm wondering if that's foreshadowing a future event.

No, it's a new episode featuring Rose's room.

… Where did I say I didn't believe in evil? I just pointed out that Adventure Time deals with lots of gray morality, instead of just pitting good against evil. It makes the show more interesting and more complex, and in a certain sense, it makes the show and the characters feel more real. Even if many are made of…

There are lots of freaks and demons and weirdos in Ooo, just as well, interspecies dating seems pretty common.

Peacemaster was planning to go after him, though.

I loved this episode. Good conflict, good jokes.

Agreed. Adventure Time has always been big on moral grayness. No one in this conflict is totally innocent.

PepBut was only fighting back after Peacemaster tried to, you know, kill him. PepBut does a lot of dark magic stuff but we haven't seen a lot to suggest that he's outright evil. There's definitely some moral grayness, as there is in many AT characters, but we don't know his intentions.

I've had a theory that Princess Bubblegum has gone insane from the pressures. The show suggests that she may be up to a thousand years old. She created the candy people and built a civilization from a post-apocalyptic wasteland, and she's some kind of super genius. That kind of stuff would put a lot of pressure on her…

I disagree. The book doesn't switch between stories and it works perfectly well there. If Lee had chosen to switch between events, I think it would've removed some of the ambiguity. The question at the end is a big part of the story, you're supposed to think about it. Switching between events would've made it look…

Eh, I don't know about that. The story with the tiger may be more fantastic but it's not exactly more beautiful. There's still the struggle to survive, the constant risk of death from starvation, dehydration, or tiger attack. In the book, the tiger story still has human death and cannibalism. What's more, the tiger…

That's a really cool interpretation of the storm!

Yeah, whenever people say that the first story is supposed to be the "pleasant" one, well, I don't really agree with them on that. It's still dark and sad and creepy, and in a scene that was in the book but didn't show up in the movie, there was still cannibalism and human murder.

Agreed. A big part of the story is the question on which one is real and which is not. Having cuts to real people probably would've established that the story with the people is the "real" one and would not only take away that question, but it would take away the beauty and wonder of the first story.
