Marketing constantly and marketing horribly can go hand in hand, especially if the show was attached to 2 apps that the network abandoned BOTH of which could get more tedious than fun. Season one could get way too fast paced but it at least had a spark of LIFE-but season 2 while it has some fun moments has an heir of "Well we're cancelled ,let's just do whatevs".

Yeah, one of the bigger problems of CN as a network over the past 5 years or so is that it sometimes feels like it's doing series out of agreement instead of belief that kids will like it. Half the time these shows get bounced to Boomerang, which not everyone gets...
Either that or new eps get almost no advertisement for new eps, like Regular Show's finale.
Or just no firm air date? Like the Adventure Time Finale they've been advertising for... 4 months now? Just fucking air it already!
As well as some god damned re-runs while we're at it.
And, of course, immediately after we complain about this, they do an airing of STAKES and say the finale is in two weeks. *throws up hands*

Ok, kind of a step back and breather after three straight episodes of "HOLY SHIT" tier stuff. Are we still doing the "favorite Venture son" thing from season 4? And a love triangle? Really?? Well, I guess they can't all be wham episodes, even if it was starting to look like they were gonna be.

Hank's problem is that, like most 18+ rich kids, he has no idea what to do with his life and, unlike his brother, isn't smart enough for college where he could buy another 4 years to figure it out. He was the perfect Boy Adventurer and now he's too old to do it, just like his Dad, and that's really something Rusty should be talking to him about because it's sort of where they could best bond.
Personally? I think Hank would make it great in the OSI/Costume game. Yes, it's a HORRIBLE life but it's all Hank knows.
As for Dean... I'm calling it 50/50 that Trianna shows up.

Well, technically, so is a square... or a rectangle. Not a trapezoid, though, those are at least 3 triangles.

Good episode mostly. Some parts felt strangely rehashed, but an enjoyable low-key ep. It's probably just a symptom of how many "Wham" moments there are in this show that
the revelation that Rusty was also a clone
Yeah, mind-blowing twists that change everything via the obligatory Rhys Darby cameo that all cartoons have to have by law-BUT-admittedly Dermot's return was my favorite part.
Adventure Time: Come Along with me
A DAMN good finale that simultaneously ends on a logical closure point, as well as adds a BILLION cliff-hangers!

I really like that, in what he thought were his final moments, Simon choose to comfort Finn, someone who had alternatively been both his friend and his enemy. It really shows why so many people were willing to give up everything to save him.
Also, I'm glad that Marceline and Bonnie FINALLY got to kiss. 8 years ago, when this show started, that never would have happened. Glad that Cartoon Network is FINALLY growing the fuck up.

I'm glad it's over. The show was starting to have too much going on for it to keep up, but it was able to wrap up most of it. The important stuff anyway.

Can someone explain to me why the Batman the Animated Series "deluxe" limited edition Blu-ray comes with Funko Pop figures that look nothing like the art style from the BtAS?
It's a blue Batsuit! There was no time in the DCAU when Batman had a blue batsuit. And DCAU Joker didn't have orange eyes, that was The Batman's version of the Joker (the one with the dreadlocks). *sigh* At least they didn't put Harley in lingerie.

Its so they can justify hiking up the price Pezzy old bean, even IF you logically don't want three plastic/vinyl papeweights that you would subtlely hate yourself if you bought directly, because there's so many other expensive things to own that are MUCH more worth it.Can someone explain to me why the Batman the Animated Series "deluxe" limited edition Blu-ray comes with Funko Pop figures that look nothing like the art style from the BtAS?

WOW this...this show sucks. The satire is obvious, almost NONE of the characters are likable or original(including a talking dog whose a rip-off of that old Family Guy ep where Brian became an addict through becoming a drug detecting dog), and its over use of crude humor is a shallow mask for a lack of real substance. Its weird to consider Brickleberry a step UP from anything BUT-here you go.

Did you watch this early? Crap, why am I staying up until midnight then?!
Huh, didn't know Dreamworks was behind this reboot as well! Let's just hope they don't give one of the main characters a gay love interest in the 7th season just to kill him off because DRAMA!
Yeah, they usually have it on the adultswim site/app earlier in the day. I just watch it when it's up.
Huh, neat!
I know, I was expecting it to end at episode 6 too!
Yeah, but they've kinda of... hit it big? Not only do they have merch now, they did that thing for The Amazing World of Gumball which made them some friends. They also got Conan O'Brien helping them produce the new episodes through Conaco. I'm kind of excited?
That was exactly why I assumed we wouldn't see any more of it. Those episodes looked insanely time consuming and are probably difficult to monetize since I don't see a way for it to work in a half hour format without losing what made it good in the first place. How much money is there in web shorts?

I’m still sore that I can’t get the entirety of the God and Devil Show. Many of them were not rereleased, and the Time-Warner vendor-specific option has of course been scrubbed from the ones that have.
