Reserve full judgement till you get into season 2 though. Season 1 can at times feel like a different show. But dont skip it - its still good, just a bit more juvenile.
Just watched S01E01 now. The humour in AT is very weird, but I dig it. For a kids show, there's some quite adult humour. Like the dead candy asking the princess to 'give him some sugar' - kids won't get it, obviously, but I laughed a little. I'll keep watching.
The My Little Pony 2017 movie was announced before that premiered, and I'm sure there was already a lot of discussion about this movie months before this announcement, so I'm not sure "Sponge Out of Water"'s relative success is related. Granted, the fact that Nick was willing to make that movie might have had an influence in spurring on these other companies.
Isn't that fan art used in the banner, too? It also says the story is just the Ice King chasing Princess Bubblegum, so I feel like this article wasn't well-researched, and based on old info. I don't think it's going to rewind the series back to Season 1; other than
building up Finn losing an arm for years, only to have him grow it back in, like, 2 episodes
, the show's really good about sticking with continuity.
Speaking of which, that's about the point when I stopped. I saw the Season 6 premiere, but interest was slowly waning up until then. I'd definitely hop back on board for a movie, though, so long as its not awful!
I really hate that they're doing that, but I also hate the fact that, after over 2 years on there, we only have 2 seasons of any of those shows at most. I think The Boondocks is the only [as]/Cartoon Network show on there with every season, and it might be one of the only ones of them with even half the series on there. I pity the poor person who finishes Venture Bros. on there and thinks they're safe jumping into Season 6 coming up here...
EDIT: Sorry, wasn't thinking about how that was a spoiler.
Please mark your spoilers. This thread is about the movie, you should not assume that everyone reading is caught up with the show. In fact several people have already mentioned they are not.
