Watched it earlier and really enjoyed it. BMO is a very charming character thanks to the voice actress who provides his voice.
4 episodes. BMO, then Marceline and Princess Bubblegum, then Peppermint Butler, then Finn and Jake.
What a weird take, "I like Adventure Time but hate the main characters."
OP
OP
I love BMO as well, but judging from your avatar, not as much.
While it's completely insignificant I think to BMOs character, do you recall if they were referred to as any particular gender pronoun in the special? That's what's been somewhat interesting.
Will definitely watch later!
BMO is definitely a 'he'. Not sure I remember anyone in the special referring to him in that manner though.
People say "he" numerous times, as does BMO.
Loved it. Can't wait for more! And we got some lore, too!
Didn't realize they were releasing it as just one big bulk episode. That's neat, I'll get to watch it later tomorrow.
BMO has been refered to as 'she' in the show at least one time and is said to be without gender.
I still find it odd that BMO got the name of one of the largest banks in Canada, right down to the all-caps styling and pronunciation.
From my recollection BMO goes by every type of pronoun which I love.
Just watched the episode and loved it, Y5 is so fun and likeable and I hope she turns up in a later special.
It's good to have my favourite show back, even for a little while.
It would be more appropriate to call them specials rather than episodes
In twenty years we'll probably get a Scooby Doo x Adventure Time special
This was very welcome. I had a real good time with my friend BMO.
Why not just watch Adventure Time? It's also on HBO Max.
it's a wonderful journey. The show really grows a lot over those first few seasons and it's amazing looking back how consistent they were over the 10 season run. Shit gets real deep and real weird, too. There's some pretty thematically mature ideas explored!
Side note, that was the biggest FU of the finale. Finn's dad not showing up for closure. Which would have been fine if they hadn't redeemed his character in the island arc. Should have left it at Finn realizing that people are who they are, instead of, no wait, he's actually a good guy for real.
Yeah, but ATT/WB/HBO MAX/CN/whoever has been awful with the communication here. I never saw anything that said "hey it's 4 specials that'll drop whenever" and I've been scouring for info since this was announced. Communication regarding all HBO MAX content has been awful, honestly.
martin literally ascended out of existence theres literally no way he could have come back
it didn't redeem his character either. it was his fault entirely that he had to abandon finn like that because he sold other people out earlier. he's always been a con-man- one moment in the past didnt make all of his actions suddenly okay, especially when he met up with finn again like a decade and a half later in a galactic prison. he used him to escape. he's a shitty person, he's not a good guy. you profoundly misunderstood that entire character if you thought islands redeemed him at all.
this is such a weird way of looking at martin's character honestly. it ignores his shitty actions in the present of the show and even in the past and just focuses on the one time he didnt act in self-interest. it made martin more a three dimensional character, yes, but it was still about him hurting others. hes a loving father in that moment, but it still didnt stop him from grifting finn in the future. he just kept burning bridges after that moment in time.
its more complicated than just him being a "good guy", especially when the only reason that moment happens at all is because he was being a piece of shit "bad guy".
i dont know how you can see it as a fuck you that he wasnt in the big finale to give finn "closure" when he was there in season 6's finale, giving finn the kind of closure that was much more in line with what he became, not who he was and that finn wouldn't find out about later on. he ascended from reality because finn rejected it and i think on some level, it was because he had become so separated from the ability to care about anyone but himself after that night. it hurt too much to even think about- to talk about- in that village with the little people when martin's ship crashed in ooo. martin's story ends in season 6, but that doesn't erase the damage he did in the past.
it just completely ignores the entire arc and focuses on a specific aspect to think it redeemed him at all.

So I have a big question that I can't quite wrap my head around:
Why was Mo trying to terraform Mars?
He already knew about the advanced Martian society that lived there. Or did he create it while Finn was alive? Do we ever hear how old it is? I had assumed it had been there thousands of years given Abe Lincoln and Glob being there.
My only explanation is he built the fire gods to melt the ice on Mars and create an atmosphere (ala Total Recall) and then make it into a new Earth where Martians and Humans could possibly live together.
