Anyone else think their relationship on the show took a weird turn like someone really didn't like that people wanted them to be together?

Just thought Finn started moving on after it was clear PB would never want him in that way
it felt like that
especially now when people keep talking about muh age gaps
i thought those two were the somewhat the same age, but she was just taller
It always was one sided
Considering most of the writers have come out and said they hated writing Fin, yes.
Finn got shat on the hardest than any other MC on recent cartoons, they can cuck him, shit all over him, mutilate him, kill him, emotionally torture him, rape him because he is a white male or some shit
>Writer uses Finn getting raped by LSP to vent his own experience with that in Breezy.
>Writer wants to keep Finn out of relationships because he was going through a moronic mental state after a failed relationship
So was everything they did with Finn in the later seasons just a product of writers self-inserting? Because holy frick.
The Finn self-insert hate is ironically justified.
It was those types who self insert who do this sort of thing.
This is why i can't stand "writers" in western animation
No kid cares about the mature themes the keep trying to put in to make 20 somethings watch their trash
True
Hi luke weber
This is talked about a lot on Cinemaphile, so no you're not the only one. There's a weird cohort of Bubblegum x Marceline shippers that try and call people "Finncels" for pointing this out, but even my normalgay friends felt like their relationship got weird about halfway through the show.
I always felt like their relationship was supposed to be Finn crushing on her and pretty much one sided. I do agree that PB as a character was retconned later on to make the relationship even more nonsensical, but I dont think they were ever meant to end up together. Finn is very clearly a child in early adventure time.
Well yeah I'd personally agree, and so would my normalgay friends honestly. The point where Bubblegum started to be standoffish or borderline hostile with Finn was a clear character divergence though.
>The point where Bubblegum started to be standoffish or borderline hostile with Finn was a clear character divergence though.
I think this is more of a consequence of her mad scientist persona overtaking her character. She went from being a classic ditzy scientist with low stakes experiments, in the sense that they were, for the most part, silly and contained to the Candy Kingdom, to a technocratic dictator ruling with the power of science and portrayed as ruthless when not completely sociopathic. I welcomed this new direction of the character since the Candy Kingdom did have some dark undertones given how overtly moronic the citizens were. But the writers never commited to making PB a full on malevolent force so there is a bit of a narrative whiplash.
>But the writers never commited to making PB a full on malevolent force so there is a bit of a narrative whiplash.
That was a whole plot point in Elements. Though PB technically didn't have agency over it, she ends up being the most powerful elemental despite ironically having the weakest element because of her ambitions and desires to control everything

They don't because of the hive mind. Hence why Marcy was dissatisfied. It was a purely platonic locked relationship at the time.
Or if we're talking about the lulz, very carefully.
Yeah but its not brought up in any way and its treated more like something that just happens. Its never part of the narrative that elemental PB is so powerful because she is malevolent as a person.
Some shows have kid characters eventually end up with their older crushes through a time skip, Phineas and Ferb for example.
Adventure Time was hijacked by the people that came in later to work on it after it became big. It was mostly women that hated men, so they had to make Finn into a loser no one liked.
The new show runner hated finn personally and the show's premise inherently and made it his explicit mission to destroy the show and what it stood for.
pretty sure that 'someone' was the network
Dead thread
>Flame Princess was a late addition to the show’s main cast, created during the production of Season 3 after the show’s writers began to express their belief that they had exhausted all the potential storylines about Finn hopelessly pining after Bubblegum. On top of this, the writers were also increasingly uncomfortable with the age gap between the two. The writers consequently decided that the best solution to these problems was to drop into Ooo a new “age-appropriate” character with whom Finn could be smitten; not only would this freshen the show by shaking up existing character dynamics, but it would also allow the writers to explore Finn’s developing understanding of romance without retreading overly familiar ground. And thus Flame Princess was born. Adam Muto and character designer Natasha Allegri each drafted up preliminary sketches for the character, but the character’s final look was designed by Rebecca Sugar, who based her design mostly on Allegri’s rough drawings.
It only seems that way to people who have a victim mentality. The kind of people who can only assume that anything that inconveniences them or upsets them was specifically done to spite them. There are pretty clear reasons why they ditched focusing on PB and Finn romantically, their dynamic had gotten old and wanted to have Finn explore romantic storylines with someone who would actually reciprocate his feelings and wouldn't be too old for him. If you see this and assume it was personally done to piss off you and people like you in particular, I am sorry to say this but you have a victim mentality. Especially since the pivot away from PB being a romantic interest for Finn happened pretty early in the series, before there would even be "finncels" (as they are called) for them to be spiting in the first place.
No
shut up PEONS
I've got something better right here
