They should have showed this on TV sometime before today :V

CN should have done a lot of things before today. :V

Currently watching the west coast feed.
PB seemed pretty conflicted about Finn leaving.
Charlie was a mess, what kind of life is she leading?

 

[Macka]

I loved Islands tbh and thought it worked very well and made sense in universe. As for people feeling dissatisfied

Spoiler

Adventure Time has always been about the reality of things not always turning out the way you want them to. When we first met Martin was a good example of that. Not everything can or will be fantastical, nor should it be, and i like that for relationships between characters they keep it grounded. As for Martin and Minerva's relationship, I found it heartwarming

Spoiler

If anything I wanted it to be less fantastical. I'm not dissatisfied because I wanted a 'happier' result necessarily...I just really dislike the way they decided to go about it in general.

 

[Psxphile]

"I'm going too."

But seriously Bonnie, what kind of face is that?
Did you really believe you'd be able to keep the last human in Ooo by your side forever?

Man I absolutely loved the Islands miniseries. Gave me everything I could want as an Adventure Time fan.

 

[Raxus]

2 new episodes tonight. Let's get ready to explore some Islands!

 

[Psxphile]

Yup. The next two Islands episodes will be airing in 30 minutes.



And this space right here is where I would embed promo art for tonight's airings if I had any.

 

[IronRinn]

What is going on with BMO?

Also, are crabs robots?

 

[Psxphile]

Maybe robots are just crabs?

Damn, what a mysterious ending to Mysterious Island. Let's see what the next ep has to say about it.

 

[IronRinn]

This is AMAZING.

 

[TheChits]

This may be the most peculiar episode yet lmao

 

[Epcott]

Someone needs to gif that BMO ban.

 

[Psxphile]

they 'goodbye, real world'ed

 

[IronRinn]

This miniseries is so damn good.

 

[Raxus]

Best joke of the whole miniseries filled with great jokes is

Spoiler

BMO trying to recreate Finn and Jake.

I actually laughed out loud when it cut to them.

 

[TheOGB]

You guys

I love BMO

 

[TheChits]

What got me was the

drawing of Susan stinking.

lol they just had to drive that point home

 

[Ogodei]

BMO banning all of the trolls is a GIF that's going to get a lot of mileage, methinks.

 

[vypek]

Forgot to mention this yesterday but I love alternate openings

 

[Grakl]

I liked Islands a lot, haters b damned

 

[Psxphile]

For those wondering what Alva was saying.
Turns out it was Swedish.

=================================

EDIT:

Another title card:

KingOfOoo

 

[vypek]

My captions said it was Swedish and only thing I could guess was the word for dog. Glad there is a full translation

 

[Raxus]

As I stated earlier. My favorite episode of the miniseries airs tonight.

 

[Psxphile]

The crew celebrated their last recording session yesterday.

284 total episodes. That leaves about 32 episodes left in Season 8 and 9.

 

[HotHamBoy]

Just started Islands.

Jake is insanely powerful. Good thing he is a good-natured goof.

The crew celebrated their last recording session yesterday.

284 total episodes. That leaves about 32 episodes left in Season 8 and 9.

Wow awesome cake!

 

[Psxphile]

Promo art drop:

Hannah K.

Sam Alden

Gonna be working during the premiere so I'll watch them later. From the sounds of things these next two eps are going to destroy people. Heh, something to look forward to.
EDIT: oops, forgot the other one!

 

[IronRinn]

"Huh. This was more fun in my dreams."

 

[TheChits]

Absolutely loved that first episode.

 

[IronRinn]

Shit is getting real.

 

[IronRinn]

OH SHIT.

 

[TheOGB]

They should've named the miniseries "Adventure Time: Susan Stinks"

 

[TheChits]

Top tier adventure time. Wow.

 

[IronRinn]

Wow.


Wow.

 

[vypek]

They should've named the miniseries "Adventure Time: Susan Stinks"

Lol right. They are really sticking with that


...

These episodes were really good.

 

[hey_monkey]

I really loved Islands. I find Stakes more fun and funnier - with its own deeper impact - but Islands is the growth and reflection I've wanted, plus BMO being ultra BMO.

 

[Defect]

32 episodes left what?!

Was hoping for 50ish

 

[PolishQ]

So seasons 8 and 9 will presumably be 23 episodes each?

 

[Psxphile]

Wow, two whole episodes of backstory and lore. Where to even begin?

- What is it about Utopias that make people want to leave them? They would rather brave the dangers of the outside world than remain coddled forever. And it happened frequently enough that a special squad of beefed-up human cyborgs were established to deal with the problem. At some point you'd think they'd realize that trying to restrain something only makes it want to break out more.

- Frieda a cute. What happened to her?

- Dr. Gross seemed pretty reasonable when she was younger, up until she went full villain at the end there. Also, what caused her to leave and come to Ooo?

- Susan/Kara just goes and drops a bombshell like that. But she seems to know what Finn wants/needs.

- Martin and Minerva seem so... normal. And how fitting that Finn's mom's profession is about helping people.

- according to Adam Muto Finn picked up the habit of wearing a bear hat from seeing his mom with the Helper hat.

- why does Minerva have two last names (three if you count marriage to Mr. Mertens): Brandt and Campbell?

- Damn. It all went to heck so suddenly. They were so happy. ;_;

- The fuck happened to you, Martin? You were actually a decent human being for a stretch of several months but you were never able to get back to that state, not even after meeting your long lost son...

-

 

[Raxus]

Islands finale tonight! Get hyped!

 

[Psxphile]

Last Islands title card drop:

KingOfOoo

 

[IronRinn]

God damn, poor Finn.

 

[Sou Da]

The humans not leaving immediately made this episode work for me. Feel bad for Finn, hope he manages to visit.

 

[IronRinn]

Man, that was incredible.

 

[vypek]

Really like this mini series.

 

[TheChits]

Islands was real real good.

 

[Vulcano's assistant]

god I love decadent human cities as sci-fi settings

 

[Defect]

Next episode is called Abstract.

Probably going to be a while until we see it though. Hiatus time!

 

[Psxphile]

Too late now but what the hey, promo image for the final Islands episode:

Is that really next?

This lone storyboard that was upped on the King of Ooo blog back in October was tagged "Abstract":

 

[PetriP-TNT]

Ooooh sweet, can't wait to see this

 

[MisterGrey3000]

Islands was really great.

It kind of makes me lament the fact that this show didn't have more mini series specifically dedicated to serialized storytelling, lore, and worldbuilding.
