This Is Adventure Time’s Most Mysterious Episode

Something interesting about this episode is that the characters are specifically told to not touch the purple stuff, just like the workers of Super Porp were told not to drink Pure Porp, and i really doubt that's a coincidence I fully believe Pure Porp is taken directly from that dimension, and it's processed to be consumable and addicting, but also maybe that's the reason why they chose babies to replace Cheryl, they already have no identity or memories so there's no chance of them remembering anything when they're forced to drink Pure Porp

I loved the scribble animation in this episode. It kinda reminded me of the 2007 pilot in a way

This led me to think of the purple comet. No one truly knows what it symbolizes, but purple seems to be EGO DEATH and RETURNING TO THE BASEST FORM. That's what the comet wanted to do, that's what lumpy space princess did in the elemental episode, and that's what the purple stuff did here.

It's interesting to look at the grotto counterparts of characters, Princess Bubblegum is a pond and if you remember PB's reason for making the Candy Kingdom "to be connected to others" this makes a lot of sense as a pond is not just it's own ecosystem but an important water source for many creatures, Marceline is a flower who sings sad songs about herself but she's actually pretty happy with herself which makes sense as the STAKES! miniseries was in season 7 and Beyond The Grotto is season 8, Ice King's counterpart is Princess Purple Patch who instead of suffering from a loss of memory and identity herself she instead inflicts it upon others but she still struggles with similar problems the Ice King has like their loneliness

I forget whole episodes all the time, I lived in the forest for 5 years and forgot a huge amount of my pop culture knowledge. It's neat to re-watch an episode like this

Finn: "im gonna murder shelby"🤣

I love episodes like this in any show, it's almost like a shout out to other studios and artists by allowing them to showcase their work while creating a great collaborative work.

One thing I love is that even when Finn and Jake lose their identities, they still heroes at heart, caring about and helping Boot Trunks.

This episode while tripping is another level😂😂 same with glitch is a glitch food chain and many others. At some point I start to feel like they made this show to watch on psychedelics

When I was a little kid watching adventure time I didn’t understand the meaning of most of the episodes and the characters emotion. Now that I’m older I’m finding so many things that I missed that I understand now. In a way Adventure Time is an adult show because of the deep and complex emotion and character development each of the characters have.

I'm glad I'm not alone in disliking how the pillow adventure essentially wrote itself in a situation that made it all not matter.

This episode was absolutely wacky, but that's exactly what I love about Adventure Time

Something i really wanted to mention is that the animation style in the strange world is made by Small-Butera, who made an incredible animated youtube series Baman and Piderman in the same style. If you love surrealist settings, I really recommend it. It has a very similar mood to the strange world sequence. I feel like calling upon these specific animators here is quite significant, given this is what they're known for.

Is it just me or any episode of adventure time we watched didn't find it weird or creepy but now it's a different story

I love this episode. The animation reminds me of some of the more abstract UPA cartoons. I love all the guest animated episodes really, canon or not they're really fun.

supposedly this was a prismo wish reality as revealed in fionna and cake

I watched this episode while peaking on shrooms. Literally could NOT comprehend what was happaning lol

I noticed Princess Purple Patch has a little purple blob creature with her. Makes me wonder, is the purple blob sort of like her version of "Gunther"? Or did she get purpled by the creature first and it made her into Princess Purple Patch, in a similar vein to how the crown turned Simon into the Ice King. I absolutely loved this episode, I'm so glad you covered it.

"i am boy"

when you say "rabbit hole", do you actually mean "hard drugs"...?
