So, whenever I’m stuck in a place where I have no idea what I am going to write about I find myself going back to things that I enjoy, or at least pieces of media that I enjoy. Lately I have been doing a lot of schoolwork, so I really haven’t had the time to watch, let alone take in movies or tv shows. But this week was an exception, a new show came out that I need to talk about, and if you’ve read the title then you can see, it is Fionna and Cake.
For those who do not know Fionna and Cake is a limited time spin off series that is airing on FX, it is a spin off, or some might even say a sequel, of one of Cartoon Network’s most notoriously popular and successful shows, Adventure Time. I remember watching adventure time a lot as a kid, however since it was in cable format as well as the fact my brain hasn’t developed enough to even be able to appreciate the true beauty and intricacy that this show has to offer. It was only when I was about 12 was when I began to really watch, start from the beginning, understand what the story was truly about. The fun part about a small time in this show is that it wasn’t really about anything. For the first two out of ten seasons there really wasn’t an underlying storyline that the show adhered to, it was more of just a lighthearted piece of media that both kids and young adults could enjoy. It provided an enriching setting and set up characteristics of the story as well as specific characters that stood out more than any other cartoon network show.
Throughout this post I’ve tried to make an effort to not include spoilers and keep the actual storyline very vague but the topic that I am about to touch on does include slight spoilers, so just keep that in mind. One final thing that I want to bring to light is the character development throughout all ten seasons of the show as well as the two spins off shows. The pictures I am about to show reflect not just the physical changes that you see throughout the show but the emotional as well.
In conclusion I think that both of these pictures encapsulate what the main underlying theme in this universe of shows are, change. Change, whether it is negative or positive, is going to be a prevalent part of all of our lives. And I think bringing it to light in the eyes of children is one of the most important things that this show can offer.
I am 100% a diehard Adventure Time fan. Ive rewatched it over and over. (My wallaper is actually Simon Petrikov.)
Something interesting about cartoon network though.
When they first start airing a show, they want there to be no plot line. Just something light hearted.
And then in the later seasons if there is a plot, they allow it.
This is what happened for adventure time, Steven Universe, OK K.O. And craig of the creek.
(Sometimes creator would hint at a story line in the early episodes.) but Cartoon network doesn’t like making a commitment. )
There’s TWO SPIN OFFS?!! I’ve been off of T.V. too long.
I enjoy reading how you view the underlining meaning of shows or media that people really don’t try to find.
Posts like these allow people to see how’ve they changed or grown as people when looking at a small thing from their past. I enjoy topics like those a lot.
I’ve seen this show around so much and it looks killer!! I enjoy the adult route they took with the story now that the target audience is older
I just want to know what the other spin-off is I’ve seen everything with Adventure Time. I’ve even gone back and rewatched the episodes I never watched cause at the time I was too scared to watch them. Also love you didn’t really spoil anything because I really want to watch Finona and Cake just haven’t had the time.
