Honestly, it's hard to pick favorites without ultimately listing a ton of episodes. Aside from the ones you mentioned, the "Mirror Gem" / "Ocean Gem" two-parter was fantastic and was the first episode that started to cash in on all the earlier foreshadowing and start expanding the cartoon's world.
I personally feel the romantic interpretation isn't shipping so much as pretty basic understanding of subtext. I couldn't read Pearl's idolization of Rose as anything other than romantic – her fingers intertwining with the Rose hologram's and Pearl explicitly saying "You're wonderful". Actually I'm slightly surprised…
That cut sounds like it'd improve the movie greatly, to be honest. I don't like that subplot much at all, it's gratuitous as fuck to me.
Actually, that's not a TV edit, that's on my DVD copy anyway. "Dork" is way better than "dick" would be in that context, agreed.
"Some reason"? Um, you mean racism…
Yes, and he ends up in a mental hospital and that's supposed to be funny. Transgender people are mentally ill! Hilarious!
I see. I found myself caring I guess, but mostly I think I just found his situation funny. Anyway, it wasn't a problem for me.
It seems silly to say you never really cared enough about Root Beer Guy. Like, the whole point of focusing more on an underused character is to MAKE you care about them. Also, has Root Beer Guy been around before? I was somehow under the impression he was a brand new character, but I may just have been forgetful.
I personally think this beats the pants off Princess Cookie. I have… problems with that episode. Like, it's not even that the story itself is badly handled, there's just a lot of implications that I very strongly dislike.
I liked the main plot of this episode, but what really sold it for me were Finn and Jake because they were completely hilarious every time they appeared. Jake's impersonation of Bubblegum, Jake and Finn dressed up like noir baddies, even just the little things like the animation on them walking away with the high…
I can see where you're coming from, but there are way better ways to do that than just making her a villain for no reason. It seems very gratuitous and just for the sake of being edgy? Like, a good way to call out PB on her bullshit is in that one episode with Flame Princess where both Finn and Jake yell at her for…
Remind me, are overused Simpsons references a downvotin' or an upvotin'?
Nah, I was just rash about it, I forgot the ettiquette for that here. Sorry.
Why does everyone want Princess Bubblegum to be a villain so badly? I think it's a really pointless and terrible "plot twist." I much prefer her as the somewhat amoral but ultimately benevolent leader figure.
This episode felt like a shaggy dog story leading up to a punchline, which would have been fine if the punchline was all that good, but it was pretty lackluster. It got a chuckle from me but that's about it. So yeah, a C+ is about what I'd give it.
I really thought the "MY PRIVATES" box was just going to be a joke where PB looks into the box, pauses for a second, and then is like "ew" but even the lax CN censors would have probably caught that one
Well, his name is "Lemonhope", and it's sorta played as an obvious metaphor for the possibility of the Lemongrabs finding their place in the world and putting an end to the cruelty, so I think that's why she was so attached to him in particular because of what he represented. Plus, who honestly would ever be able to…
Oh come on, he's not even close to repellent enough to take objectivism seriously.
Yeah, I thought that was lazy too. I got a laugh out of Mos Def Cantina, but the Star Wars reference probably should have ended there.
