Hey guys, i'm very LTTP with Adventure Time and because of how episodes are randomly aired here i arrived at the fifth season but with lots of holes.

I'm not able to find an answer to this little curiosity(well one of the many lol), in Memory of a Memory Marceline is dressed like a nurse and we see the young Marceline doing a "surgery" on Hambo, does it suggest that Marceline in the past became a nurse or similar?

I didn't think of this before. I wouldn't think she ever became a nurse only because it doesn't seem like the kind of life she'd end up living when growing up in some apocalypse. Maybe she did though. She has a mini series soon so maybe that will give more info.

Who's going to do the Season 7 OT?

 

[TheBaldEmperor]

Is season 7 starting soon?

 

[Crispy75]

The Marceline 8-parter (eight!) will air "around Halloween"
That's as much as we know.

Dang, so it's basically a movie then.

Awwww yeah, all 8 parts at once!!

 

[Crispy75]

It's pretty crazy. It will either confirm or blow up my theory that AT isn't built for long-form storytelling.

 

[FoxSpirit]

It's pretty crazy. It will either confirm or blow up my theory that AT isn't built for long-form storytelling.

It's built for loooooooong form storytelling

We have a lot of stuff going on now we didn't have at the end of season 4. But it's more on an interpersonal level. I enjoy that. Game of Thrones can go plot pushing, AT simply goes with slow shifts in personal relationships. I have no problems with that.

 

[Lelcar]

While everybody is jumping ship to Steven Universe, Adventure Time still remains my favourite. I can't wait for more episodes.

 

[Psxphile]

There's a preview article about the Enchiridion/Marcie's Scrapbook here. Includes some artwork from the book and a very, very interesting photograph.

EDIT: a short interview with Ghostshrimp, Lead Background Designer on Seasons 1-4 of AT

The Marceline mini-series really does seem like a return to form.

 

[Psxphile]

Should be seeing some news dropping today tomorrow.

 

[Psxphile]

Who's this interesting ol' chap? He says as if he didn't already guess.

NYCC AT panel going on now:

Hope someone smuggles that S7 clip out.

I just wish the plot wasn't so all over the place and there was just one story and one goal that gradually advanced as the show did. Just focus on the as the main villain and the mushroom war, the whole orgalorg thing really jumped the shark for me. Before that I was a huge adventure time fan but that season finale just sucked out all the enthusiasm I had for the show. Also the whole fin being a god thing. I do agree the character relationships and how they advance are great though.

I'm looking forward for the marceline 8 parter, if its done well (and I expect it to be) I might get back to being invested in the show.

 

[Psxphile]

oh shit

Don't agree at all with this. Turning the show into a straight-forward plot would water it down severely.

 

[Chezzymann]

Don't agree at all with this. Turning the show into a straight-forward plot would water it down severely.

Not really that it should be straight forward, just that the overarching plot should be coherent and not all over the place and unfocused.

 

[Psxphile]

Here's an online article that sums up the NYCC panel today.

Season 7 premiere episode is titled "Bonnie & Neddy". More details about Season 7, the mini-series and a small hint of what to expect in Season 8 at the link.


EDIT: NYCC B-MO holiday special sneak peek

EDIT: Another article focusing on the mini-series "Stakes". Spoilery off-camera pics inside. Actually, the whole thing is spoilers you probably shouldn't read it.

 

[Hamlet]

So much new info. Shame CN isn't airing the Stakes miniseries in October, still November is good enough I guess. Just happy to have the show coming back after such a long break by AT standards.
The new opening for Stakes is great. Love it when they do stuff like that.

 

[Lelcar]

Damn, at the panel they said that info about Finn's mom might be considered for season 8. I was hoping for some mamma Finn revelations this coming season

 

[Psxphile]

So much new info. Shame CN isn't airing the Stakes miniseries in October, still November is good enough I guess.

This is absolutely what we call 'dropping the ball'. The crew had hinted that the show would return sometime in October w/ Stakes primed to air during the Halloween week but CN said nuts to that, filled the schedule w/ TTG! and bumped AT premieres to November.

'Best laid plans', and all that. But yes, at least we're getting it relatively soon.

Damn, at the panel they said that info about Finn's mom might be considered for season 8. I was hoping for some mamma Finn revelations this coming season

Hm, yeeeeah... but we just had a season dealing with Finn's dad (kinda) so jumping straight to Finn's mom? Seems a little too soon for that. Maybe the crew felt the same.


EDIT: Another article about the AT panel.

dat shade at the end tho:

It sounds like a great season ahead, and I hope the marketing department sells it big. If anyone from CN is reading….when the miniseries is ready to launch, please do not promote it like this:

GET YOURSELF READY for A NEW TITANS WEEKEND on CARTOON NETWORK! Fearing NINE HOURS OF TITANS RERUNS plus the WORLD PREMIERE OF the new TITANS adventure TITANS time TITANS miniseries TITANS TITANS TITANS!

(ten random clips of TTG episodes, one brief glimpse of Marceline)

PLUS videos of YOU asking ROBIN what he ATE for BREAKFAST! DON’T MISS IT! IT’S A NEW TITANS WEEKEND mostly reruns TITANS WEEKEND also adventure time ON CARTOON NETWORK! “All right, brah!” “I will be the there!”

(logo, burp sound effect)

Seriously, have a little confidence.

CN has really been pimping TTGO alot lately. I feel like it's all I ever see these days. Are the ratings really that good?

 

[Psxphile]

Another Season 7 article, another interesting behind-the-scenes tidbit

“Is the arm drama over?” asked a fan, inquiring about how Finn lost his arm and had it replaced in previous seasons. “You sound like the network,” laughed Muto. “The arm he has now is sort of made of vegetable matter that thinks it’s a human arm. He never really got it back.”

Guess CN weren't enthused about the main character of one of their hit shows violently losing an arm. Or maybe they objected to the way it was replaced by a magical plant one instead of getting his real one back. Probably both.

If they had a decent action figure line, that'd be the perfect in for a new figure. I loved explaining to people how "deep" this show is and then describing the arm rip. But then everything was fixed and the show went downhill for a bit. I don't want it to be over. I wanted to see him with the apparently inevitable mechanical arm... which would also make for a badass figure.

Feels like forever since I've watched Adventure Time. I'm eager to put the season 6 finale behind me.

Huh, CN goes until 8/7c again?

The Adventure Time 8-part special event 'Stakes' will air November 16-19, Monday to Thursday at 8pm:

Adventure Time's 'Stakes': New Details Revealed About Marceline's Miniseries
Cartoon Network to Premiere New Eight-Part Series STAKES, 11/16
ADVENTURE TIME Eight-Part Event ‘Stakes’ to Premiere in November

Marceline the Vampire Queen wishes to be an undead, red-sucker no more, but can Princess Bubblegum concoct a cure? At the same time, five of Marceline's most fearsome foes return from her past. What might her most powerful nemesis, the Vampire King, have in store? Finn, Jake, Princess Bubblegum and their friends join the Vampire Queen's fight against her immortal enemies. But for Marceline, the stakes have never been higher throughout these eight special episodes of Adventure Time!

Series regulars Olivia Olson (Marceline), Jeremy Shada (Finn), John DiMaggio (Jake), Hynden Walch (Princess Bubblegum) and Tom Kenny (Ice King) are joined by guest stars Rebecca Romijn (The Empress), Billy Brown (The Vampire King), composer and actor Paul Williams (The Hierophant), Ron Funches (The Fool), Beau Billingslea (The Moon) and Kyle Kinane (Cloud Dance). In her voice acting debut, STEVEN UNIVERSE creator Rebecca Sugar joins the cast as THE VOICE of Marceline's mother.

Nearly two full weeks (13 11-minute episodes!) of brand-new Adventure Time in a single month. It's like CN is trying to make amends for their shitty treatment of the show since the conclusion of season 6.

Hm not showing up as that on my DVR yet. Maybe it will change later

It'll show up when CN updates their schedules later in the week, though you should still be wary because sometimes it causes glitches and the wrong show ends up getting recorded.
