I think Finn may be a masochist

This show is so good.
The humor, the animation, the continuity, the voice acting, the references to the fact that it is clearly a post apocalyptic world. Its all so good. I was apprehensive at first, but once I started watching, I just could not stop. Caught up on all four seasons.

I think at this point they've all but said that it's post-apocalyptic
Agreed, as early as the underwater scene in Ocean of Fear.
There's even a dead couple on the couch...

Ah, so that's how you spell acolyptic.
There is no guilt in liking Adventure Time, its awesomeness is well known!
She's ok for killing Flame Princess. She said it'll take 24.7 seconds or something like that for her to be extinguished. A human should be able to survive without air for a bit longer than that usually.
Peebles has the mind of a cold, calculating scientist. She's like a pink Reed Richards, sometime more concerned with the mission at hand than the repercussions of her actions on the lives of other people. Look at how long it took her to realize how much she means (or meant, I guess) to Finn.

yeah, i used to deny it too, but its kinda all over...
last episode with the asshole wizard guy, wasnt a big chunk of earth missing when finn shot off for the moon?
Pretty much. I don't think it's been directly addressed in the show yet (I do have some catching up to do) but it was confirmed some time ago by Pendleton Ward that Ooo is a post-apocalyptic world, and that Marceline and Ice King are the only survivors since they're pretty much immortal (also explains why there's scattered remnants of modern technology everywhere and bomb shells for the first couple of seconds of the intro).
It's pretty interesting gradually learning more and more about the world as the show goes on.
They've shown the planet in earlier episodes too, for example in the one with five short stories about senses.
Magic Man literally said he was sent down to Earth for past 200 years lol.

The back-story of Adventure Time and how the Land of Ooo came to be fills a LOST-sized hole in my life. Love this show to death. The last few episodes have been really great, especially Card Wars and Sons of Mars.
Card Wars is just perfect if you have ever played Magic with somebody who is far too good at Magic.

Just out of curiosity, what's the appeal of this show? I've been hearing a lot about it lately but I just don't get it.
It's a hilarious and charming cartoon about a heroic boy and his magic dog. Approx. 11 minutes each episode. People of all ages can get into it. You can jump in at pretty much any episode.
I guess, but you gotta admit it was a bit unsettling that she had NO response for Jake when he asked "What about Finn?"

My wife cannot abide this show being on in the same room as my son (who is not yet three), yet he loves it. I sneak it in as much as possible.

i love who the king of mars turned out to be
Absolutely, I said "woah" as soon I saw that too. I wonder if they'll ever address it directly.
Me neither, they'd be crazy not to give it a blu-ray release eventually given its enormous popularity (but then again CN has had a spotty record of releasing their shows).
Why not? I doubt a almost-three year old would get most of the more morbid jokes.
I think the comics did.

It's not at all uncommon for relatively small shows to only get DVD releases (see also Community, Parks and Rec, 30 Rock, etc). But yeah, it sucks. The show is amazing in HD, and the video quality on the DVD isn't nearly as good as it could be. At least we can buy the show in HD on all the big DD services.

this show is great, just watched the flame princess episode, nice and tense.
you dont mess with another man's p-bizz" lol

During the segment in "The Real You" where Finn puts on the glasses you get an extremely brief shot of the Earth and its giant hole. You pretty much have to pause and frame advance to see it. And that was a second season episode. So for some of us this isn't a new revelation. And yeah, we're still waiting for an explanation.
EDIT: According to this wiki "Burning Low" had over 3.5 million viewers, making it the highest-rated episode of Adventure Time to date.
Shippers gonna ship.
I think you meant to say it's not uncommon for Cartoon Network to crap on their shows and never release anything even though it's guaranteed money.
It's the only one that makes sense considering the information we have now. There could be other reasons, though, including those tied to the war itself. One has to wonder why there appears to be a stream of debris (mostly food) leading away from the crater and into space or Mars in "Son of Mars". You see this same space debris during the Tart Toter's monologue in "The Other Tarts"... then again that whole sequence was whack.
It could be that, and this is just wild speculation, that the Candy Kingdom was already formed before/during the Mushroom War and that the candy/food in space is debris from the crater. Marceline, the Ice King's crown and
were already alive before the war so it's not thaaaaaat much of a stretch that magic was already on the rise. Or that the food was in the storage of any space stations. Who knows how old the food is? It won't exactly get moldy and rot in the vacuum of space.
For that matter it could be that the war was fought between the humans and the magical beings (Martians/Magic Man, Rainicorns, Dogs etc.) that came in to existence.

I live in Canada. Where can I buy Adventure Time in HD? The iTunes previews seem to be 480p and there's no mention of the actual resolution of the videos.
Everybody already knows that Regular Show is Adventure Time's past. Think about it. It makes perfect sense. Bubblegum is even directly descended from Bensen, and Billy is probably Skips' son or something.
Mordecai still never gets with Margret, though.

An adventure time/regular show crossover special would be amazing, get on this shit CN
That would not work at all. Adventure Time and Regular Show are both awesome but for very different reasons.

^this, i don't think it'd mesh nearly as well as it might on the surface, unless people acted pretty out of character.

How is this on Season 4 already? And Regular Show is on S3? Not that I'm complaining, but seems like it started like two years ago.
Regular Show is having a super long 40 episode season 3.

I don't know I'm envisioning it starting as regular show then whatever crazy thing happens to them sends them to Ooo for a bit, I think it could work.

They've gone on record saying they'll never do a Regular Show - Adventure Time cross over episode.
That is not true, AT ALL. Adventure Time gets censored all the time, they still have to be extremely careful with the edgy stuff they put in.
Blood Under the Skin got a lot of shit retroactively because of the Drop Ball character looking like a dick and balls.
In the Finn the Wizard episode after the meteor blows up the castle, and everyone is naked with logs covering their junk, they were originally going to have beavers clinging to them but that got axed as too far over the line.
The "lesbian relationship" between Marceline and PB from What Was Missing has caught Cartoon Network an unfathomable amount of flack.
The most recent LSP episode caused a lot of shit behind the scenes when it was being made. The part where she "strips" for Finn, specifically. Even though LSP is always normally "naked" and the bag she was wearing was clear, the censors had a huge problem with the act of her actually stripping out of her bag, which is why it cuts away in the final episode as she starts to take it off, and then cuts back once she's "naked".
There are so many more. The shit that makes it through is literally snuck past the censors. As a show ages, things become slightly more lenient sure (EX, they couldn't say the word "demon" in earlier seasons but now they can) but they still have to be very careful with stuff.
Also, for any people still on the fence about Ooo being post-apocalyptic Earth even after it being blatantly stated in Sons of Mars, yes, it is Earth after a massive nuclear war. I don't think they'll ever come out and say it in the show, and Pen has said in interviews that they don't want to ever do a Mushroom War episode, but that is what happened.

Was doing up Colors 3D, did a little Adventure Time tribute pic
The colors only seem to look right when this image is viewed on a 3DS, though. Also, Finn looks weird here, but it's because I was trying to get it to work in 3D right, so if you view it on your 3DS, it looks a lot cleaner.

I love Adventure Time. That is all. Watch it all the time with my kid.
Only if its a twenty second throwaway panel, where Finn and Jake walk through the ruins of the house in the park and find Rigby and Mordecai's skeletons on the couch, still clutching their gaming controllers.
This'll never happen, though, because we all know that Dominar Benson I built the Candy Castle over the old Park, as a means of wiping it, and all its grief, from memory.
