It’s obvious that Adventure Time isn’t interested in beign a run-of-the-mill cartoon with disconnected episodes due to the fact that Finn as a character has aged (in conjunction with the aging of his voice actor, Jeremy Shada, whose own voice has matured during the last four years). However, it was clear from Finn’s first appearance (collapsed on his bed in reflection) that the plot wasn’t going to be a basic adventure for our two heroes. The episode opened with a lighthearted party at Prismo the Wishmaster’s, and the appearance by the sarcastic Shelby (who only wants to score points with his girlfriend by getting her a pony) was one of the most amusing interactions in the episode. This is not to say that the premiere, a half-hour special composed of “Wake Up” and “Escape from the Citadel”, wasn’t funny. While most of these episodes have cut through their creepiness with a biting humor (usually aimed at its adult audience), the season six premiere was predominantly humorless and therefore the first truly distressing episode. Adventure Time has commanded its place as Cartoon Network’s best animated show for four years now, and in that time it has given us many dark and disturbing episodes.
