Adventure Time: Distant Lands: BMO trailer analysis

I was definitely not expected a complete trailer so soon after that teaser we got back at the beginning of April. I’m hopeful this means that the episode is now very close to completion. I still don’t think it will be coming out on the 27th of May when HBO Max is released, but I wouldn’t rule it out as impossible.

Trailer spoilers ahead obviously. Watch it here if you haven’t already, and then let’s take it from the top.

After the same little title sequence we got in the April teaser, we get the first footage of the episode itself. I have no idea what the spacecraft with the cursive “L” might be, but I’m pretty sure the capsule in the next shot is the spacecraft BMO crawls out of with his missing arm later on. You can see the same blue bits in both shots:

I also love the sound effects of the winged spacecraft in that same shot, which seem to be heading towards a black hole. Given one of the new characters is a shape shifter, and the last time we saw a black hole was in Jake the Starchild, I’m wondering if there’s a potential Warren Ampersand connection there.

Next we are introduced to the main setting of this episode. Some kind of space station with a whole bunch of different “pods”, I guess for supporting the various different life forms who call it home. Throughout the rest of the trailer we see various background references to something called “Hugo”, which I’m guessing is the corporation or cult or overlord or whatever that runs the station.

All the alien designs in this shot are very cool and definitely fit in with previous Adventure Time designs. There’s a creature in one of the windows on the left who wouldn’t look out of place in the Nightosphere. At first glance I actually thought the guy on the mount was Mr Fox, but it’s obviously not. The shot after this also gives heavy Midnight Gospel vibes.

Then we are introduced to some kind of rivalry between two species who show up multiple times throughout the trailer; the red beetle aliens and the white pointy-eared ones (having to use a lot of vague names here since we don’t have official names for anything yet). I think they are fighting over that green thing attached to the cable in the floor. This is probably the same scene as the bit where BMO crawls out of the wreckage. I reckon BMO’s crash destroys whatever they’re fighting over (hence the green smoke and their distraught faces), and so the two species team up against BMO.

BMO and the bunny person will probably meet soon after this. Perhaps their friendship is formed after bunny person fixes BMO’s arm. I’m also wondering if bunny person is the same species as the Fionna lookalike in Fionna and Cake and Fionna. They’re even both engineers.

Next we get two rapid shots of what seem to be the leaders of each of those two species, then some action shots of bunny person running through a village and being chased by two blue streaks of light. I think this scene might be prior to BMO’s arrival, when we are being introduced to the new character. Perhaps bunny person is a criminal, or has done something to piss off Hugo.

After that we get a few shots I’ve already talked about, and another action scene where BMO uses some kind of glue grapple gun or something. Then there’s a shot very reminiscent of The Midnight Gospel, where it looks like there are cropfields bending up towards the ceiling like on Clancy’s homeworld. Also I guess BMO wearing the shapeshifter hat is what cowboy BMO from the first poster was referring to.

There are a few shots of a robot area. Some of the designs in there remind me of Bravest Warriors. And then there’s this shot of a market, where we see two familiar species: a member of Cuber’s species, and a void caster as seen in Escape from the Citadel. It might even be the same individual.

Next is another shot of the first pod we saw, this time showing the extent of the cityscape. Hugo seems to be celebrating the arrival of BMO for some reason, which makes me wonder if Moe is behind all this. Remember, BMO launched Moe’s memories into space at the end of the finale. Perhaps he ended up in control of this station.

Next we get the whole scene in the flooded pod with the little beetles and the fireworks, interspersed with some other random bits and pieces. I can’t begin to guess where this fits in with everything else we’ve seen, but the architecture is reminiscent of Founders’ Island. In one of the interspersed shots, there’s a Minotaur creature. Any relation to Mannish Man, I wonder?

Another shot shows two more members of bunny person’s species. Based on the “H” designs on their clothing and mug, I guess they might work for Hugo. Perhaps they are bunny person’s judgemental law-abiding family.

And a few more shots show the pod where the red beetles and the pointy-eared aliens were fighting earlier. Under the red lighting, it’s very reminiscent of Mars.

Finally we’ve got that weird anime-looking shot of the bunny person, followed by a classic Adventure Time face where BMO’s eye whites make a rare appearance. That whole sequence has 2001 vibes. I wonder if that’s the black hole we saw earlier.

And finally, we have the shot of BMO riding a space lard (as seen in Astral Plane) up out of the pod, while a large group of bunny people, red beetles, and pointy-eared aliens look on. That feels like the kind of shot that would come near the end of the episode, but who knows.

The trailer closes out with a 3D rendered BMO heart, along with the title card we’ve already seen, and then a final scene showing how BMO meets up with the shapeshifter. It looks like they meet up before BMO crashes into the station. I appreciate the fact that BMO is wearing a spacesuit even though he doesn’t need one.

All in all, I’m super excited for this. I’m surprised that BMO is the only returning character we’ve seen so far, since you’d expect them to put Finn and Jake into as much of the marketing as possible. Personally, I have no problem with that. I’ve always wanted to know more about the interplanetary society we saw glimpses of throughout the original series, and it looks like that’s exactly what we’re getting.

As always, I hope we get a release date soon.

Farewell for now.

If grandmothers around the world had a rallying cry, it would probably sound something like “You need to eat!”

Photographer Gabriele Galimberti’s grandmother said something similar to him before one of his many globetrotting work trips. To ensure he had at least one good meal, she prepared for him a dish of ravioli before he departed on one of his adventures.  

“In that occasion I said to my grandma ‘You know, Grandma, there are many other grandmas around the world and most of them are really good cooks,” Galimberti wrote via email. “I’m going to meet them and ask them to cook for me so I can show you that you don’t have to be worried for me and the food that I will eat!’ This is the way my project was born!”

The project, “Delicatessen With Love”, took Galimberti to 58 countries where he photographed grandmothers with both the ingredients and finished signature dishes.

He acted as photographer and stylist during each shoot with the grandmothers, taking a portrait of both the women and the food they made for him.

These are the initial diamond mural designs that i did for “It Could Have Been Great” way back at the beginning of 2015. Special thanks to our prop designer Angie Wang for helping steer these toward an art deco sort of style.
