#i do think they couldve went harder on it tho bc all the distant land eps felt very not cartoon networky. more like a netflix cartoon

god i remember when i binged adventure time when we had that hbo trial, and i got to the hbo special season ep Distant Lands: Together again, and the whole beginning being so off with finn and jake saying shit they wouldve said 11 years ago with a weird autotune thing ppl were into back then like algebraic, mathematical, shmow, shlamazow, doing his old adventures that people who wanted to view at, but for serious moments, wanted to skip, ice king was kidnapping princesses with finn doing easy jobs, that no one else wants to help him with, and it eventually leads to the image of jake's grave after almost 7 minutes (half the time of the original cartoon's episodes) and then finn realizes he's in the afterlife and this pops

#personal #i remember being so glad no one was home bc i was CRYING as it was progressing #what wouldve been nameless nobodies finn easily beat took the shape of past antagonists. finn dragging a frozen jake around. finn saying #he'll save both princesses instead of letting anyone die. finn getting upset by the image of his old friends' bodies in a predator's nest #jake's grave being center screen and finn pushing him back from it #it was soo crazy. they're all dead! #the point of the ep is way more than all this ofc but god i just remember the feeling of starting it #like everything is wrong #it was so good #i do think they couldve went harder on it tho bc all the distant land eps felt very not cartoon networky. more like a netflix cartoon #like i love that one pokemon special animation where they replicated that 2000s johto style in 2022. they couldve done that #anyways i miss my at era ughh
