Fionna and Cake Eps 9 & 10 spoilers

Welp

Ive heard people are upset with how it ended

So heres my thoughts

I enjoyed the ending, I loved it, in fact! But I cant deny there was a little twinge of disappointment left over. I think thats my fault though

You see we were all building ourselves up for these two episodes to be an emotional gut punch. And could you blame us? We were literally told.

So when the episodes came out, we were met with, while still a hit to the feels, not as much as we were expecting. There were other factors at play of course, but I think that was one of the big ones

There are still loose ends around but I think that ok, more for a potential season 2 to deal with, if we ever get one. And if we dont, well, all the better for fan creation.

I see people upset with how Betty and Simon turned out. Personally Im super happy with that arc, if it turned out to be a fairy tale ending with Betty becoming normal again I would have been slightly upset because it was so clear that the narrative was hinting to their relationship not exactly being the healthiest

I also saw how people were upset with how the lich was died which made me confused like. He wasnt the main antagonist and was never gonna be it. He had his story told in Adventure Time Proper, now was just to show what mightve happened if he won, and thats it.

And remember, nothing is perfect. The ending may not be for everyone, but it was for me, and many other people, and that should be enough.

Im glad Simon learns to move on. Im glad Fionnas world stays the same. Im glad we got a happy ending.

They deserved it.

Am I the only one who was confused about what Simons voice actor and the staff were talking about when it came to episode 9? They kept saying it was going to be the saddest episode in all of Adventure Time history and yet nothing remotely sad even happened. I kept waiting for it, but it didn’t come.

So I thought ‘oh maybe it was episode 10 and they got the numbers mixed up’, but no, nothing sad happened there either.

Idk maybe everyone else in the world found something sad and I’m just too dead inside to see it. Wouldn’t be the first time .

Ngl I thought the punchline to the Casper and Nova story was gonna be that Simon's self-loathing is so strong and his love for Betty is so strong that CLEARLY an alternate-universe version of Simon would write all of Betty/Nova's adventure options to be the correct ones

Ok I see ppl on Tumblr talking Abt how much they liked the final episodes but honestly I was severely underwhelmed by the fionna and cake ending. If you don't want to see me just list out everything I like and dislike and why according to my arbitrary personal preferences scroll now.

The second half of the fight with scabby was meh and repetitive. At least the gumlee was cute. Fionna is still the bestest even if her final fight kinda sucked. I love her dearly and I hope she is living her best life.

The lack of Ooo Marceline in the end was literally so disappointing too I wish we could've seen her again at SOME point.

And just in general the ending felt really rushed, I feel like if they had some more episodes to work with it would've been a lot smoother.

Simons pov was just so severely underwhelming, it just felt like filler to me.

I literally didn't care if it was going to be happy or sad ending for Simon as long as it made me feel things like the last couple of episodes did but it just felt totally flat. It didn't really feel like an ending at all. I wouldn't even mind the breakup angle they took under normal circumstances if it wasn't for the fact he like. Literally spent 12 years basically being in a constant mental breakdown, and a thousand years before that subconsciously searching for her, and her literally driving herself to insanity and becoming golb to keep him safe, but wow suddenly everything's chill cuz he played a video game. Ok. Simon just realized that whoops he didn't always take Betty's feelings into account and they parted ways.

And I will repeat: I DO NOT MIND THE BREAK UP ANGLE. IT MAKES SENSE OBJECTIVELY. HOWEVER. IT FEELS LIKE THERE WAS LIKE. TWO MINUTES OF THOUGHT PUT INTO IT. DEFINITELY NOT SUPER HEARTSTRINGS PULLING TO ME. DO NOT GET IN MY COMMENTS BEING WELL ACTKULLY THIS IS JUST ME COMPLAINING ABOUT CARTOONS.

I liked the golbetty in the bus and the golbetty statue. I could bs something about them going their separate ways on a journey the other can't go on and insert trigun quote here about how the ticket to the future is always blank but I just really like golbetty. She's great shes monsterous she's perfect.

Just in general Simon and Betty felt off to me during the final episodes, I can't really put my finger on it but they just felt weird. I'm sure Betty's been doing a lot of thinking in the void and all but it still fell to the left of them I think. The whole time I was watching I was just like. Hm.

Edit: got it. Betty has always been wanting to keep Simon thinking about her. Always. With AI Betty head she flat out said "I knew it would drive you crazy but at least you'd always be thinking about me" and it's like a core thing she does stuff for the Dramatics. While you can argue she's been doing a lot of thinking in the void and matured because of it she's also been a goddess of CHAOS. If anything she's gonna go more loony rather than more mature.

Not to sound like a doomed crazy yuri enthusiast but there are literally no normal or healthy actions you can take after literally becoming a god for someone.

Maybe I'm just too committed to the bit but I'm a solid believer that if you start a weird fucked up path you gotta end on a weird fucked up note. Although the severe disappointment of nothing happening is probably the most fucked up thing they could do to me.

Ik it's supposed to be some sometimes life doesn't give you a tidy ending stuff but also this is fiction I get enough fuck yous like this from reality and ignored job applications I want my fuck yous from fiction to be not sadly vague. Or at least better written.

At least Simon's in therapy. About time.

And the little emoticons he's using in his phone. :)

Do feel free to put your own opinions in on whether you liked or disliked the ending just play nice 🤙

Okay, but they hella teased Prismo’s character creator. There was no need to pause and zoom on that laptop and then use it as the transition to the next scene. Also Prismo’s face glitching out too, hmm…

There’s no way they are not planning something for the future!!

Shermy and Beth too!

During their appearance in “Together Again” they didn’t have any grand story to tell. They were just living their lives in future Ooo and vibing. But now “Cheers” made a very direct attempt to set something up with them planning an uprising against Gibbon.

If we ever get a season 2 or another miniseries, it might be about Shermy and Beth.

Like, tell me it’s not just me seeing it happen.

SPOILERS FOR THE THE NEW FIONNA AND CAKE EPISODES UNDER THE CUT!

So, I don't know if anyone else had this thought, but when GOLBETTY Tetris'd The Lich all my mind went to was, "Is this what happened to GOLB's others scholars?! It this why Lich is the last one?! Did they all complete their goals and go to their master just to get cubed after, or are all the Tetris pieces just random fools who reached out to GOLB and/or The Lich from other timelines?!"

Also, I both can and can't believe simon kicked the fucking Lich. It's that one scene from Obsidian and him yelling at VK all over again. Man constantly goes from extreme terror to taunting beings that can kill him with the flick of the wrist in a millisecond, istg. The man's preservation skills be legit questionable.
