People lumping in seasons 2 and 3 of Adventure Time with season 1 are the biggest examples of nostalgia warping people's perceptions of the show imaginable. Season 1 is a completely different specimen from the rest of the series while seasons 2 and 3 are more in line with most of the rest of the series where it's mostly episodic/adventures with 2-4 "lore" episodes a season, which you can easily see if you just look at a fricking episode list. The reason this massive cope occurred is twofold
>people self inserting as Finn not liking that he doesn't the girl
>people conflating 2 or 3 episodes they didn't like in a season as representative of the whole series after season 3
Unironically, there would be nowhere near as much b***hing about post season 3 adventure time if Finn and PB stayed together, which makes the "le seasons 1-3 meme XD" come off as that much more of a trite, thoughtless, stupid opinion.

Season 2 is in line with the first one, the third on the other hand..
self inserting as Finn not liking that he doesn't the girl
conflating 2 or 3 episodes they didn't like in a season as representative of the whole series after season 3
Nice strawmen.
All three seasons are unique, but taken as a group they are very distinct from the following seasons, that's why there's the universally agreed break right there.
And for the vast majority it has nothing to do with some moronic ship - it's a switch in the writing, the look of the show, the animation. A drop in energy, randomness in the humor that fails to evoke the quirkiness of the previous seasons and a shift to emotional teenage drama that either remains infantile or just comes off as creepy.
The third one gradually started introducing emotional and lore elements, it's different from season one, but it also distinguishes itself in terms of execution when compared to the following seasons which would largely fumble the strong concepts handed to them.
OP has to be delusional to not see the difference between the seasons and pretend like the criticism and dissatisfaction comes purely from /ss/tards
>the third one gradually started introducing emotional and lore elements, it's different from season one
Even this exemplifies a completely inaccurate recount of the seasons. The emotions and lore started in season TWO with the two parter on the Lich. Even you, trying to defend the stance, only have a vague recollection of the series
>All three seasons are unique, but taken as a group they are very distinct from the following seasons
completely meaningless and vague
> that's why there's the universally agreed break right there.
because people keep parroting opinions with no thought into them
>A drop in energy, randomness in the humor that fails to evoke the quirkiness of the previous seasons
season one, the energy dropped ever since then. be honest, how long has it been since you actually watched all of adventure time?
(NTA)
>"You're wrong, they started on the very last two episodes of the second season!!!!"
Ah, technically correct, the best kind of correct.
>Ah, technically correct, the best kind of correct.
not at all. there's a pretty obvious difference between
>emotional elements were only introduced throughout season 3 and gradually
and
>emotional elements immediately came at the end of season 2 completely in your face
Lore elements, as in backstory, were arguably present since season 1 when they got the idea for it, what I meant was the backstory and emotional drama aspects becoming the focus.
Neither of which were a problem, by the way and pretty much carried the show after it became unfunny and the character dialogue became reminiscent of skin wearing androids.
Which is also why I dropped the show around season 6, because it turned into a slog, where you watch a zombified show to get a glimpse at the backstory of your beloved characters once in a while. And then get slapped in the face now and then, too.
The problems were the writing going to shit, which concerned characterization, dialogue, humor, and most other aspects of a good show. And the stiff animation killed the rest of it.
And those were great episodes
>what I meant was the backstory and emotional drama aspects becoming the focus.
the issue is that this never really happened until much, much, much later when we started getting mini series. at best, we would get a few episodes with emotional, lore, or dramatic elements (like in season 3) but still remain overwhelmingly episodic and adventure based. hence the initial claim that people conflate a handful of episodes with the entire season
>the character dialogue became reminiscent of skin wearing androids.
didn't happen, quirkiness of S1 arguably led to more unnatural dialogue, realistically. not that that's bad but I don't know what you meant by this.
>The problems were the writing going to shit, which concerned characterization, dialogue, humor, and most other aspects of a good show. And the stiff animation killed the rest of it.
disagree but this is another general claim so there's not much to touch on.
I wish I could rewatch at least the first 3 seasons in order to give them a better judgement but I also fear I've grown past this show's humor style. It has been 10 years since I last watched Adventure Time.
Considering you're still on Cinemaphile, I'd say those three aged well and you'd enjoy them
>still on Cinemaphile
I'm a newbie, start browsing here in 2022
Ok, correction:
>considering you're now on Cinemaphile...
This is massive cope for why you think people usually say they only like the first 3 seasons.
>This is massive cope for why you think people usually say they only like the first 3 seasons.
it's just facts. you saying it's cope is cope for you not being able to defend an opinion you unquestioningly latched onto after hearing enough people say it
I've Noticed how when people who supposedly like the lol-so-random-XD seasons never really actually talk about why they're so good outside of vague, pathetically meek moral platitudes like "le pure and innocent adventures"
My favorite seasons are 3 to 5 and I can actually elaborate on why without sounding like I'm about to cry like most of these "fans" in this threads do
Interesting that you make almost the same distinction as the one you got butthurt about in OP after all. Glad you liked it, but that's pretty shit taste, imho.
He's not OP (me) but good job proving his point. Couldn't have put it better myself
bump.
not sure why you did that but thank you
