ruclips.net/video/ALoWYy1v-iI/видео.html You should watch Part 1 before watching this (& frankly, before commenting)! It covers Seasons 1-5 & gives more context to my thoughts!
Tonight's finale will be the end of an era, which is both sad and exciting. I'll love this show forever and these retrospectives are some of your best videos Nick.
When kids next door ended I felt out the door but then at and regular show came and now there gone so yea I'm probably never going to watch cartoon network ever again wich is sad but the truth
I thought the first few seasons were way too “random” humor back when they came out and I was only like ten. I actually liked the more ‘philosophical’ and ‘deep’ episodes
@Personal Vendetta I gotta disagree, honestly. It felt really natural for Finn to face more philosophical dilemmas as he matured through the show, at least in my eyes. It wasn't trying too hard to be deep, it was just telling stories with deep messages.
@@Howlhilt I agree. Adventure time was a long running very popular Show and it attracted a lot of fans when it first appeared but one thing that makes it stand out compared to most Kids shows is it matured with its audience. It’s got more developed humor. As a kid I always despised That dumb kid humor. I really enjoyed these seasons though. I felt like the dumb potty humor jokes made me look dumb and made kids look stupid.
@@396dog8 Definitely, the way the show matured with its audience is the reason why it'll always be in my top 3 favorite animated shows. On another note, it seems the person who I responded to deleted their comment. Weird.
"The fall of Advednture Time" OFF WITH HIS HEAD All reals tho,I feel like AT didn't really have a fall,it had it's down around S6,but in no sense had a "fall",I think the only really fall isn't it's own fault but the network's giving it the shaft,big hiatuses with little to no telling of when/if the show is still going on.
It's the exact same thing happening with Steven Universe and that show isn't nearly as old, theres lot's of very long hiatuses, steven bombs and big dumps of episodes became the only release of new episodes, next to no advertising until the actual date of something airing. CN just obviously doesn't wanna promote the shows produced by the Adventure Time "circle" and would rather push braindead shows like Teen Titans GO and that really badly animated Ben 10 because they can sell the merch of those quicker, that's all that matters to them in the end, its not the appeal the show gets, its just the physical product sales it nets them, CN's sad and garbage as fuck.
Even though it did falter a bit season 6, I'd say Seasons 7 and 8 (or 7 through 9 if your using CN's bs ordering) was when the show peaked in quality. They took the more upbeat tone of Seasons 1-4 and mixed it with the more serialized, story-driven plots of Seasons 5 and 6. They easily had some of my favorite episodes.
I know u might not see my comment (since ur comment is like 4 years old) but u put into words exactly what I was thinking but I just couldn't get the words out.
I prefer the deeper episodes way more over the random ones. This show was so groundbreaking because it presented dark and philosophical topics in such a unique way. The character development and world building that began to become the norm are what makes this show so amazing. The quick humor of the early seasons is still present later on, but just like how Finn ages and matures in the show, humor and subject matter aged and matured as well. I grew up being the same age as Finn throughout the show and it definitely played a part in shaping my mental and emotional development. Season 6 is my fav season and i find myself returning to this season the most out of all of them each times i rewatched it
I agree, this show grows with the audience and that was very intentional. We get a show that's random and fun classic fantasy that fuels the whimsy of Childhood and even the credits reflect the magic of having a childhood that lasts. But then the show matured with the audience, showing us that even in a fantasy world with magic and wonder that our characters are still people and experience mental and physical issues with change, and the final song of the show reflects the idea of moving on but learning from your childhood, it's why the future of Ooo is in ruin because all good things must come to an end.
I actually like season 6 even though it some problems. Yeah, it suffered in a couple of places, mainly returning to the status quo too much and a few lackluster episodes. Although, I still felt like it massively improved on a lot of areas, such as the characters and overall tone. A pretty solid season overall.
No doubt, it really started to delve deep into PB's megalomaniac side, ties in and wraps up previous plot points, such as Finn coming to terms with having a deadbeat dad.
I think he meant that they stopped using Rebecca's music in the series after she left, and the inclusion of it in the mini-series was made better for it.
The Hall of Egress is my personal favorite episode due to how fascinating I find it. I'm not not big-brain enough to find the deeper meaning to the episode but still enjoy the entire experience.
Shockwave Spider Ummm.... funny you should mention that www.boom-studios.com/2018/07/23/boom-studios-cartoon-network-announce-adventure-time-season-11-an-all-new-comic-book-series/
*"Everything Stays is one best songs in the show, and it makes me really glad the writers tried to replicate Rebecca Sugar's style even after she left."* Actually, Rebecca did write this song, she agreed to make it since she really enjoyed the time she spent working on AT
You missheard what he said. He meant that he's glad they didn't do more songs in Sugar's style so the few songs she writes for AT really impact like Everything Stays and
For me adventure time never got bad, the show grew up as i did. It premiered when i was twelve and as it grew and finn grew i grew along side it. Their isn't a single thing i hate about the show, its very close to my heart. It's nice that its ending right as i meet adulthood.(18)
I’m not usually writing comments like these. But I have to disagree. The first thing I have said about season 6 after watching, is “WTF!? This is the best season ever omigosh!!!”. I like it when the show goes all different characters and expand their world, it’s amazing and beautiful. There are a lot of rushed things in this show, and I hot used to it over time, cuz this is how the show goes, and those who do not understand it, shouldn’t watch it. The ladder half of the series is miles better than the first half, and I don’t understand why people think different. It showed more world, characters, interesting stories, felling, humor and character development. Sure there was not a “huge villain”, but should there be? It’s not like “Avatar” with an absolute villain with an actual character. The lich is nothing more than an obstacle for Finn and Jake, and a lovely lore piece for the more curious watchers between us (me included!!) the future is far more interesting for me than seeing a recurring villain. As for the end, it was obvious that it wouldn’t just be a plain old war,and anyone who didn’t understand it, didn’t understand the show in my opinion. It’s about the characters and the feel of adventure and exploration for me, not story. And I’m a story freak!
In defense of the orgalorg plot line a bit, it was forshadowed in the episode, It Came from the Nightosphere when Hunson confronts Gunter about sucking his soul. Season 6 wasn't great, but at least the later seasons brought it back to it's roots imo. Good video btw.
Psychicbacon I always thought that was just a funny little bit and nothing else. Idk when I found out they revealed Gunther was really a demon the whole time, to me, it justified me losing interest in the show. It's one of those things that just makes me go "really? They did that?"
It was literally foreshadowed throughout the whole series that gunther was a dark entity. Any time the show focused on him it was pretty evident he wasn’t a regular penguin lmaoo. Like when he took that wishing eye from ice king and started taking over oo. Irritating how much was missed here tbhh
Watching these videos made me remember how much I liked Adventure Time. I was surprised by how much I remembered, and I’m definitely tuning in for the the final episode, even if I won’t understand everything going on. Good videos as always, Nick!
exactly my situation. i fell behind during season six but watching this video made me realize i had actually retained a lot of that information- and i decided to watch the finale anyway .
This show is WAYYYYYY better to binge on DVD or Hulu. This show is just such an amazing expression of loose consciousness thinking and it’s so exciting to watch. This show is amazing no matter what, it set itself up so that it can’t do any wrong.
I believe that you either really love or really hate season 6. There is no in between. I am one of the people that loves season 6, it's one of my favorite seasons. I can't really explain it, but I believe its the fact that I was around when the show started. I got the full dvd set, and just binged the whole thing. Maybe if I were watching the season live, I would have different feelings. Although there are a few episodes I really don't want to watch (like "sad face" and "on the lam"), the majority is just fun. It even has some of my favorites from the season ("Food Chain", "Thanks For the Crabapples, Guiseppe", "Is That You?", "The Pajama War", "Walnuts and Rain", "Jermaine", and "Jake the Brick") I can't fully explain why I love this season, but I just do.
Honestly, I didn't like how the Lich was handled. I would have liked to believe he was defeated for good in Season 6, but future episodes implied he was still alive in Sweet P and he going to come back for revenge. So I guess you can understand my disappointment when he was anticlimatically defeated in a random episode and now the main villain is some Bubblegum relative just brought up in the very last season -_-
Yeah totally it's sooo terrible that the show took an absolute evil death machine, and brought it to life, gave it a good loving home, and then it decided that it wants to fight against it's evil inclinations, and 1000 years later is still a hero who looked up to Finn. I cannot think of a worse way to handle the lich. It would have been much better if they punched it till it died and exploded.
I have issues with gumbald, but he wasn't the actual final villain. Golb was, as was expected for a long ass time. I wish that there was another betty episode explaining how she got to Golb, but I can chalk that up to the show being rushed to end. Gumbald was basically PBs past coming back for revenge, with the rebirth of the world, which is definitely an interesting thing thematically. And gives us lots of insight into PBs relationships with her other candy people. After gumbald she learned to not make them too smart, and to just focus on making them safe and happy, which explains a lot. While i wish we had gumbald as a more fleshed out character, I'd say that the dream sequence in the finale was definitely a satisfying conclusion to PB and Gumbald.
@Xae Dota Alright, I know what that feels like to think a scene feels forced. But I still don't see the problem with Marcy's dialogue. "You're okay, you scared me.. even when we weren't talking I was afraid that something bad would happen to you and I wouldn't be able to protect you. I don't want to lose you again". Marcy just thought PB got splattered, and then she turned I to the vampire essence beast thing. So she like had an adrenaline rush and finally just said how she feels. If anything I thought the LSP kiss felt more out of place. The PB one seemed natural to me.
@Xae Dota I mean the kiss wasn't really trying to be a surprise sure, I don't see the issue with that. The most notable thing to me in that scene was Marceline mentioning PB's weird phrasing. Lol PB has been phasing things weirdly forever and now it was finally mentioned.
I like Season 6 more than most, but it was a low point at times due to trying a bit too hard to recapture the magic of some of the beloved deep episodes from before. Season 7 really did bring it back, so it';s too bad CN kind of shoved it aside and everyone sort of forgot about it. thankfully, the finale is bringing everyone back to cry. Regardless of quality, it will really wreck me.
I’m glad to see that most people enjoy the the ladder half of the show:] loved watching the show grow, loved the fun silly adventuring and the more emotional and philosophical episodes, truly one of a kind show
In one breath you're saying that the show lost the quirky randomness that it had during the first seasons, and in the next breath you're complaining that the mytharc-related episodes were too spread out to keep momentum. Make up your mind! Fine if you prefer early Adventure Time to late, but don't just mindlessly criticize plotpoints, contradicting yourself. While I certainly enjoy a critical standpoint more than constant praise, I wish this review were a little more rounded. Either way, I appreciate the effort put into this video. Keep up the good work.
i’m glad to know that i’m not the only one who fell massively behind after season six. for the longest time i felt really bad for getting disinterested and confused, especially with how much the earlier episodes meant to me
this is seriously one of my favorite videos on RUclips. I am a huge fan of this series and I appreciate how much effort and detail you put in this video. Great job :)
Even that I enjoy season 6, I do understand the criticism towards it, well, tonight will be the true ending, this show is the most important cartoon of my life and I will never forget it, I will miss the show, but I say goodbay to my favorite cartoon of all time with a smile, it was a great adventure, and it will be in my heart forever!
I stopped watching at around season five, I caught a glimpse of the "Stakes" mini-series and felt interested. I saw a ton of bits and pieces of random junk here and there and found lore about the mushroom war and a ton of other stuff. I really wanted to pick up the show again but I couldn't find anywhere to watch it considering it's super unlikely to see it air consistently on cartoon network. (plus I was just to lazy to try and pick it up on Netflix) I really would be interested in it if i had the time, it seems to have picked up some interesting lore.
great video! i really enjoy watching criticisms of adventure time (my favourite show) because i think it helps me understand what i like about it even more. and also helps me see what others like/dont like. again, great video!
In my opinion adventure time as a whole is amazing. I love how the show first starts off with being a show more for younger kids but then you get to watch as the characters grow into adults and you get to learn about each characters backstory like their past and where they come from. Although I admit the earlier seasons aren’t as interesting it’s so amazing to see each character change and develop in the show. Especially Finn
It really got me in ‘Come Along With Me’ when BMO started singing and then everyone joined in. I loved Adventure Time, I’m so sad to see it end. But, I’m so happy it ended so triumphantly
To me, season 6 was where it started to get really interesting. I had been watching very casually up until this, then starting on season 6 I was super interested in keeping up
bruh, the title is as misleading at best. i was looking for a genuine criticism of adventure time apart from the ending and what i found was a shallow criticism of season 6 and slight praise of the other 4. not a "rise and fall" more of a small dip and then a plateu of success
I wanted more clear answers as the show progressed and often times I always felt the writers betrayed the fans of the show with overly complex to cryptically vague resolutions. As the seasons rolled on I found myself just accepting the fragmented story telling which ends up low key brilliant. If you put yourself in the frame of mind that this story is being told to you by a little kid you happen to bump into over the years, it seems to makes more sense. The story scope is small and the conflict remains mostly localized to a few characters, until a flash of chaos spills in to world building and plays out as a wild fantasy of a child.
I remember actually losing interest around the 2014 seasons (keep in mind I was younger), because Adventure Time went from being a wacky silly show to a complex art project. Now that I'm older and maturer, I think I might actually enjoy those later seasons given the kind of person I am.
The main characters got shafted in their own finale. But then I realized, it's because Finn/Jake weren't the main characters anymore, Marcy and Bubblegum were.
@@huynhvuongviet2410 They could've at least put more focus on Finn and Jake during the whole thing. I mean really, what was the reason they were there but to help the others? They barely had a purpose in the finale besides being support.
@@ConcealedWeaponry yeah. The show deviated so much from the original. It's true that it's important to learn and understand other characters as well but to this point is ridiculous. Also, yeah they should have given Finn more role during the final boss but they still manage to do the whole Simon romance with Betty sub plot good enough imo.
what a great two part video series! I clicked on because I thought about going back and rewatching after giving up, like yourself, around season 6. Loved all your jokes, and your cutaways- Going to check out your other videos now, thanks again:)
I just spent the last week watching the whole show start to finish. It is really solid, just really easy watching TV but it lacks an over arching plot that feels planned or built up to and I agree that there is perhaps too many episodes that don't really server in developing a character or overall story. The finale to me felt rushed like they had too much to try and tie together but all in all I'd give it a solid 8/10 for he dynamic of Finn and Jake alone. Also I think the BMO adventure is worth a watch but the PB and Marceline one is weak but that might just be because I don't like the inconsistencies in PBs character and how she feels like the only character that never really grew or changed over the the shows span.
I can agree and I'm still watching the show. Currently on season 6 which is not great but binging through it for now I'll give it a 7/10. Like you said, it's solid at best but in no shape or form is it a masterpiece.
Wake Up, Escape From The Citadel, The Comet, Hot Diggity Doom, Orgalorg, On the Lam, You forgot your floaties, Jermaine, Walnuts and Rain, Is that You?, Everything’s Jake, Evergreen, Astral Plane, the Diary, Dentist, Jake The Brick, Something Big, Little Brother, Food Chain, The Tower are all absolutely amazing episodes and all take place in Season 6. Great vid btw
Finally someone said what I've been thinking for years! The change of story telling is just so big is unnerving. "Oh but the show just evolved you can't just expect for it to be the same forever" Regular show did an amazing job at sticking to a certain theme. Adventure time went from focusing on wacky adventures to life drama. "But you see, LIFE is the biggest adventure of them all" I don't need to know that, I have my own life to experience that, I can get other shows to tell me that, but when people change something I used to love and turn it into something unrecognizable while calling it the same show is just crossing the line. I wouldn't mind this changes if they changed it to Adventure time: [INSERT A SUBTITLE HERE] Like Naruto Shippuden or Teen titans go, something for me to know that I'm not watching the same show as before. But no they tried to pretend it was the same show, and it wasn't, it just wasn't. I'm sorry for this rant, I had to get this off my chest.
I think more accurately to say that Adventure Time took some questionable, but sometimes good plotting in season 6, got good with Season 7 again before going into the shadows with a mix of ok to some decent concepts for seasons 8-10 before ending in a mixed, but memorable finale with heartwarming fulfillment with some bittersweet undertones. It’s not that it became too lackluster, it just decided to humbly end on its own terms while giving other shows the spotlight since it served its purpose in making those shows a possibility with the game changer that Adventure Time really was to the animation media.
I don't think it ever really had a fall, I just think its viewers got older. Islands got me back into the show for about another week. I watched islands for the first time like a month or 2 ago and I stopped watching the show entirely around 2-3 years ago before I watched it. I wanted to cry. I forgot how happy the show made me and even after the years I stopped watching it still felt like I knew the characters so well. They felt like old friends to me. Meeting Finns mom and learning about how he came to be was important to me even as an 18 year old. Never in my life did I need something so much and never know until I received it.
In contrast, I actually loved the direction AT took after season 6 as I think it followed Finn's growth to adulthood and his existential crisis. I actually dug the "pretentiousness". Season 7 was probably my favourite though. Season 7 and season 8? I'm not sure of the new order lol
I’m very late to commenting. But I have thought this for the longest time and this video explained everything I have felt about season 6-10. It just didn’t have the same vibes as the past seasons. Even though there were a lot of banger episodes in between most of it was not about adventuring and the story went to a weird place
Yeeesh this has to be the hottest take anyone’s had on this series lmaoo, i feel like we were watching completely different shows. The world building and little pieces of lore that are scattered throughout each episode, it all builds up to the finale. Its mind boggling to hear you say they “tried to stretch out ideas from earlier seasons” as if they had never intended to extend those characters or plots. Im not sure, this show truthfully only got better for me as the series progressed. Weridd
I thought I was the only one who stopped watching adventure time around season 6 because after season 6 I just stopped caring. Now I have to rewatch the whole show.
Dude, you just reminded me of my favorite show. I stopped watching TV a while back, and I'd kind of forgotten how much I'd enjoyed the show as a kid. Me and my family watched every episode as they came out, but over time I kinda gave up on it. Thank you for making this video, and now, if you'll excuse me, I've got like 2 or 3 seasons of Adventure Time to catch up on.
"Energetic" was a great word choice. That's what the show really started to lack for me: the same energy and fun from seasons 1-3. The more philosophical and experimental era of the show really did drag it. But like you said, the characters and the world always kept me watching. And it really did redeem itself Stakes onward. Gonna miss it.
I haven’t watched Adventure Time in YEARS but knowing that it’s ending so soon pains my heart. Finn and Jake’s wacky antics played a huge role in shaping my childhood and I’ll definitely be rewatching the series soon :’)
Watching the Island miniseries was the first time I have seen adventure time in years. And yet by the end of it, it made me cry. It reminded me a lot of the deep connection I have with my mom and all the memories I had growing up. I think that's the magic of the show, even at it's low points. It can still bring out a childlike sense of cheeriness. While at it's very best it can reach down and hit you hard. Even though I may have preferred Regular Show more. Adventure Time will always hold a special place in my heart. It was the last cartoon I truly grew up with before becoming an adult. (I was around 14 when the show first aired.) Seeing how Finn has grown up as well is kinda poetic I guess lol. I'll never forget seeing the ending to Holly Jolly Secrets for the first time. It truly was one of a kind and opened the gates for this generation of animation. Farewell Adventure Time, there'll never be another like you. (Sorry for the rambling)
here just after finishing the final episode and im actually crying please cheer me up nick im so sad.... and your just fucking with it for the first bit
Season 6 is definitely the show's worst season. During this era, the show tried way hard to be philosophical and deep. It kinda came off as pretentious. Many of the episodes lack any real substance on surface level. Sure having an underlying meaning can add to an episode and can be neat. However, the episode needs to also have an actually interesting story otherwise it's just a bunch of fluff no matter if it has some "underlying symbolism". There were also a lot of episodes focusing on obscure side characters which I don't really care for. However, the show has really improved in the last 3 seasons.
I do appreciate that Nicktendo share his opinion. I disagree with a lot of his feelings towards some episodes but my viewing of this show was more on Hulu. So I viewed a lot of episodes back to back so call backs didn’t seem pointless. And even if I didn’t like an episode I still appreciate them for what they are. Also islands to me is pretty solid for its stand outs. I’d like to see Nicktendo discuss Mission Hill and Close Enough.
This video has got to be one of the most genuinely shit takes I’ve ever heard I under that this is your opinion and you have my most sincere condolences
I have to say. This is the first time hearing someone's opinion is making me irritated. This just sounds like someone complaining about a show changing and growing with us as we grew up. I love the earlier seasons but oh my god just because the latter seasons are different doesn't mean they are bad. There was no fall of adventure time from what I've seen and heard.
lol welcome to the club, yeah his takes confuse the hell out of me and they frankly start contradicting each other i get it’s for clicks but writing rise i wouldn’t say there’s a pure “rise and fall” of the show despite some underwhelming things in s6 even i can admit that
I strongly disagree with the idea that season 6 was the worst part of Adventure Time. It had a few of the show's weakest episodes, but it also had plenty that I would rank among my favorites, including Wake Up/Escape from the Citadel, Evergreen, Is That You?, You Forgot Your Floaties, and Graybles 1000+. I also really enjoy the headier philosophical episodes like Astral Plane, The Mountain, and even the often maligned Breezy. If often took more than one viewing for me to understand what some of these episodes were trying to say, that made it more interesting to revisit and dissect them.
One episode that I feel is overlooked when talking about season 6 is Walnuts and Rain. Lol that episode is the greatest criticism of capitalism in a cartoon.
Adventure time is definitely One of Cartoon Network‘s best creations!! Some episodes were random and not good. But the characters are so enjoyable. The world building is amazing for this cartoon. It’s definitely one of my favorite cartoons. 😇
I felt like Season 6 was the point the show went downhill, and I kind of stopped paying attention to it until towards the very end, mostly because Cartoon Network kind of stopped airing it frequently in favor of Teen Titans Go, and that was around the point I stopped really watching television in general. At least it had a good ending in my opinion, rather than something underwhelming.
This is how I'd rank the seasons Season 1: 10/10 Season 2: 10/10 Season 3: 10/10 Season 4: 9.5/10 Season 5 Part 1: 9/10 Season 5 Part 2: 6/10 Season 6: 5/10 Season 7: 8/10 Season 8: 9.9/10 Season 9: 9.9/10 Season 10: Haven't Watched Honestly, I think the show stopped being good in the 2nd half of season 5, and season 6 was even worse. I only really enjoyed 3 episodes from season 6, but luckily season 7 improved, but still not on par with the first 3 seasons, then season 8 came around, and WOW, the show greatly improved in season 8, being on par with the first 3 seasons, and season 9 was also as good as season 8. I still have yet to watch season 10.
Season 1 and 2 are literally garbage compared to 4 and 5. Not that they don't have their moments. And the second half of season 5 is where episodes like lemonhope, Betty, we fixed a truck, be more, the vault, and root beer guy are. Aka the best episodes of season 5. And season 6 is better than them all!

"The fall of Advednture Time"
OFF WITH HIS HEAD
All reals tho,I feel like AT didn't really have a fall,it had it's down around S6,but in no sense had a "fall",I think the only really fall isn't it's own fault but the network's giving it the shaft,big hiatuses with little to no telling of when/if the show is still going on.
yeah with teen titans go being the big thing most shows basicly got shafted at this point
Exactly my opinion
@Jack Blackthorn but it's true though and having an optimistic opinion isn't being a fanboy...
It's the exact same thing happening with Steven Universe and that show isn't nearly as old, theres lot's of very long hiatuses, steven bombs and big dumps of episodes became the only release of new episodes, next to no advertising until the actual date of something airing. CN just obviously doesn't wanna promote the shows produced by the Adventure Time "circle" and would rather push braindead shows like Teen Titans GO and that really badly animated Ben 10 because they can sell the merch of those quicker, that's all that matters to them in the end, its not the appeal the show gets, its just the physical product sales it nets them, CN's sad and garbage as fuck.
I actually started watching season 6 and don't want spoilers from this video. So is it all worth od watching? Or can I skip any season?
Even though it did falter a bit season 6, I'd say Seasons 7 and 8 (or 7 through 9 if your using CN's bs ordering) was when the show peaked in quality. They took the more upbeat tone of Seasons 1-4 and mixed it with the more serialized, story-driven plots of Seasons 5 and 6. They easily had some of my favorite episodes.
I know u might not see my comment (since ur comment is like 4 years old) but u put into words exactly what I was thinking but I just couldn't get the words out.
yeah it was the peak
I prefer the deeper episodes way more over the random ones. This show was so groundbreaking because it presented dark and philosophical topics in such a unique way. The character development and world building that began to become the norm are what makes this show so amazing. The quick humor of the early seasons is still present later on, but just like how Finn ages and matures in the show, humor and subject matter aged and matured as well. I grew up being the same age as Finn throughout the show and it definitely played a part in shaping my mental and emotional development. Season 6 is my fav season and i find myself returning to this season the most out of all of them each times i rewatched it
i agree i really like the Deeper episodes more they improved the Story way more and explored way more world buildings
I agree, this show grows with the audience and that was very intentional. We get a show that's random and fun classic fantasy that fuels the whimsy of Childhood and even the credits reflect the magic of having a childhood that lasts. But then the show matured with the audience, showing us that even in a fantasy world with magic and wonder that our characters are still people and experience mental and physical issues with change, and the final song of the show reflects the idea of moving on but learning from your childhood, it's why the future of Ooo is in ruin because all good things must come to an end.
I’m gonna miss adventure time

Kevin Hanson oh thanks
Wait how?
May I ask how?
I actually like season 6 even though it some problems. Yeah, it suffered in a couple of places, mainly returning to the status quo too much and a few lackluster episodes. Although, I still felt like it massively improved on a lot of areas, such as the characters and overall tone. A pretty solid season overall.
same.
I agree with this
No doubt, it really started to delve deep into PB's megalomaniac side, ties in and wraps up previous plot points, such as Finn coming to terms with having a deadbeat dad.
it just went a little too deep for the casual viewer. Every season had it's low points but this season had some of the best episodes too
Rhobyn d I love season 6 but I get why a lot of people have this opinion, its kind of like Fairly oddparents suddenly becoming Bojack Horseman
It's perfect how you uploaded on the same day as the series finale. I will probably never forget that ending.
OMG I laughed so high when I saw Johnny Test face when Finn loses his arm

11:43 Wait... but didn't Rebecca Sugar write "Everything Stays"?
Yea it's made by Rebecca
She was also the voice of marceline's mom who sang it. I don't know what he meant by that.
I think he meant that they stopped using Rebecca's music in the series after she left, and the inclusion of it in the mini-series was made better for it.
22:24
gebs123 He means, that it’s good that they didn’t try mirroring Rebeccas music and style of composing. It gives Everything Stays a bigger effect
The Hall of Egress is my personal favorite episode due to how fascinating I find it. I'm not not big-brain enough to find the deeper meaning to the episode but still enjoy the entire experience.
It's one of my favorite episodes it's so good
I both hate & love that episode. I can understand why you love it tho.
Well then, the show is ending, so I guess it's time for me to check out the Adventure Time comics!

*"Everything Stays is one best songs in the show, and it makes me really glad the writers tried to replicate Rebecca Sugar's style even after she left."* Actually, Rebecca did write this song, she agreed to make it since she really enjoyed the time she spent working on AT
Guilherme Costa nice!
You missheard what he said. He meant that he's glad they didn't do more songs in Sugar's style so the few songs she writes for AT really impact like Everything Stays and
Fuck Rebecca sugar she sucks
@Ms.Noobie wow, what a compelling argument, did you get a six year old to write it for you?
Sugar had no talent, I was surprised to find she wrote everything stays, the only song by her i liked. Turns 9ut she didn't even right it lool
For me adventure time never got bad, the show grew up as i did. It premiered when i was twelve and as it grew and finn grew i grew along side it. Their isn't a single thing i hate about the show, its very close to my heart. It's nice that its ending right as i meet adulthood.(18)
.... *sigh* alrighty then... *[5 and a half hours until reaching the end game]* it’s almost time of the end of the adventure time.
1 hour for me boiii

virus Juvera You failed…
3:11 Lenny face you’ll know what I mean
I’m not usually writing comments like these. But I have to disagree. The first thing I have said about season 6 after watching, is “WTF!? This is the best season ever omigosh!!!”. I like it when the show goes all different characters and expand their world, it’s amazing and beautiful. There are a lot of rushed things in this show, and I hot used to it over time, cuz this is how the show goes, and those who do not understand it, shouldn’t watch it. The ladder half of the series is miles better than the first half, and I don’t understand why people think different. It showed more world, characters, interesting stories, felling, humor and character development. Sure there was not a “huge villain”, but should there be? It’s not like “Avatar” with an absolute villain with an actual character. The lich is nothing more than an obstacle for Finn and Jake, and a lovely lore piece for the more curious watchers between us (me included!!) the future is far more interesting for me than seeing a recurring villain. As for the end, it was obvious that it wouldn’t just be a plain old war,and anyone who didn’t understand it, didn’t understand the show in my opinion. It’s about the characters and the feel of adventure and exploration for me, not story. And I’m a story freak!
Zohar Shaked I agree!!!
Thank you! I couldn’t agree more with you.
In defense of the orgalorg plot line a bit, it was forshadowed in the episode, It Came from the Nightosphere when Hunson confronts Gunter about sucking his soul. Season 6 wasn't great, but at least the later seasons brought it back to it's roots imo. Good video btw.
Psychicbacon I always thought that was just a funny little bit and nothing else. Idk when I found out they revealed Gunther was really a demon the whole time, to me, it justified me losing interest in the show. It's one of those things that just makes me go "really? They did that?"
Nick Bernard ....
It was literally foreshadowed throughout the whole series that gunther was a dark entity. Any time the show focused on him it was pretty evident he wasn’t a regular penguin lmaoo. Like when he took that wishing eye from ice king and started taking over oo. Irritating how much was missed here tbhh
@@LessTh3nThree Also the fact Gunther gave birth to a floating pink psychic cat was plenty evidence that he wasn't normal.
I guess that makes sense
Watching these videos made me remember how much I liked Adventure Time. I was surprised by how much I remembered, and I’m definitely tuning in for the the final episode, even if I won’t understand everything going on. Good videos as always, Nick!
exactly my situation. i fell behind during season six but watching this video made me realize i had actually retained a lot of that information- and i decided to watch the finale anyway .
Damn, I'm all emotional now
This show is WAYYYYYY better to binge on DVD or Hulu. This show is just such an amazing expression of loose consciousness thinking and it’s so exciting to watch. This show is amazing no matter what, it set itself up so that it can’t do any wrong.
I believe that you either really love or really hate season 6. There is no in between. I am one of the people that loves season 6, it's one of my favorite seasons. I can't really explain it, but I believe its the fact that I was around when the show started. I got the full dvd set, and just binged the whole thing. Maybe if I were watching the season live, I would have different feelings. Although there are a few episodes I really don't want to watch (like "sad face" and "on the lam"), the majority is just fun. It even has some of my favorites from the season ("Food Chain", "Thanks For the Crabapples, Guiseppe", "Is That You?", "The Pajama War", "Walnuts and Rain", "Jermaine", and "Jake the Brick") I can't fully explain why I love this season, but I just do.
im quite the opposite actually and i agree on some of his points but great opinion
I know I'm late but "Food Chain" nah
Honestly, I didn't like how the Lich was handled. I would have liked to believe he was defeated for good in Season 6, but future episodes implied he was still alive in Sweet P and he going to come back for revenge. So I guess you can understand my disappointment when he was anticlimatically defeated in a random episode and now the main villain is some Bubblegum relative just brought up in the very last season -_-
Yeah totally it's sooo terrible that the show took an absolute evil death machine, and brought it to life, gave it a good loving home, and then it decided that it wants to fight against it's evil inclinations, and 1000 years later is still a hero who looked up to Finn. I cannot think of a worse way to handle the lich. It would have been much better if they punched it till it died and exploded.
I have issues with gumbald, but he wasn't the actual final villain. Golb was, as was expected for a long ass time. I wish that there was another betty episode explaining how she got to Golb, but I can chalk that up to the show being rushed to end.
Gumbald was basically PBs past coming back for revenge, with the rebirth of the world, which is definitely an interesting thing thematically. And gives us lots of insight into PBs relationships with her other candy people. After gumbald she learned to not make them too smart, and to just focus on making them safe and happy, which explains a lot. While i wish we had gumbald as a more fleshed out character, I'd say that the dream sequence in the finale was definitely a satisfying conclusion to PB and Gumbald.
@Xae Dota PB and Marcy have kinda been a thing for the last 3 seasons if you haven't been paying attention. The subtext was also there since season 3.
@Xae Dota Alright, I know what that feels like to think a scene feels forced.
But I still don't see the problem with Marcy's dialogue. "You're okay, you scared me.. even when we weren't talking I was afraid that something bad would happen to you and I wouldn't be able to protect you. I don't want to lose you again". Marcy just thought PB got splattered, and then she turned I to the vampire essence beast thing. So she like had an adrenaline rush and finally just said how she feels.
If anything I thought the LSP kiss felt more out of place. The PB one seemed natural to me.
@Xae Dota I mean the kiss wasn't really trying to be a surprise sure, I don't see the issue with that.
The most notable thing to me in that scene was Marceline mentioning PB's weird phrasing. Lol PB has been phasing things weirdly forever and now it was finally mentioned.
Adventure Time gets better the further you get. That's how I feel and a lot of people agree with that too.
Yeah, all the seasons are awesome. None are bad. Good enough that it keeps the audience glued to the screens
That does not mean your opinion is “correct” or invalidates the ones presented in this video or ones that other people hold
I like Season 6 more than most, but it was a low point at times due to trying a bit too hard to recapture the magic of some of the beloved deep episodes from before. Season 7 really did bring it back, so it';s too bad CN kind of shoved it aside and everyone sort of forgot about it.
thankfully, the finale is bringing everyone back to cry. Regardless of quality, it will really wreck me.
I’m glad to see that most people enjoy the the ladder half of the show:] loved watching the show grow, loved the fun silly adventuring and the more emotional and philosophical episodes, truly one of a kind show
That breezy episode was weird af
In one breath you're saying that the show lost the quirky randomness that it had during the first seasons, and in the next breath you're complaining that the mytharc-related episodes were too spread out to keep momentum. Make up your mind! Fine if you prefer early Adventure Time to late, but don't just mindlessly criticize plotpoints, contradicting yourself. While I certainly enjoy a critical standpoint more than constant praise, I wish this review were a little more rounded. Either way, I appreciate the effort put into this video. Keep up the good work.

Today is a end of an era
Although I am not a fan of "Adventure Time", your reviews have convinced me to watch this series from the beginning. Greetings from Poland.
"Fuck you"
i’m glad to know that i’m not the only one who fell massively behind after season six. for the longest time i felt really bad for getting disinterested and confused, especially with how much the earlier episodes meant to me
this is seriously one of my favorite videos on RUclips. I am a huge fan of this series and I appreciate how much effort and detail you put in this video. Great job :)
Adventure time basically went like this "the rise, then fall, then pizza delivery, then rise again of adventure time" anyone get the reference
Fairly Odd Parents
I actually think Adventure Time does a great job at not taking itself seriously, whilst still acting dumb.
Even that I enjoy season 6, I do understand the criticism towards it, well, tonight will be the true ending, this show is the most important cartoon of my life and I will never forget it, I will miss the show, but I say goodbay to my favorite cartoon of all time with a smile, it was a great adventure, and it will be in my heart forever!
You must have lived a long life.
I stopped watching at around season five, I caught a glimpse of the "Stakes" mini-series and felt interested. I saw a ton of bits and pieces of random junk here and there and found lore about the mushroom war and a ton of other stuff. I really wanted to pick up the show again but I couldn't find anywhere to watch it considering it's super unlikely to see it air consistently on cartoon network. (plus I was just to lazy to try and pick it up on Netflix) I really would be interested in it if i had the time, it seems to have picked up some interesting lore.
Ik this is *VERY* late but Hulu in America (Crave in Canada and Stan in Australia) should have the show by now
Awesome review. I’ve been looking fir a good cartoon reviewer and you seem like the perfect guy for it.
This has reminded me this is the last day of adventure time :(
More like the last hours. :(
it's gone guys.
It has begun the end of the cartoon era
Idk what to do with my life now. I think im having a mid life crisis
great video! i really enjoy watching criticisms of adventure time (my favourite show) because i think it helps me understand what i like about it even more. and also helps me see what others like/dont like. again, great video!
Your adventure time retrospectives are the most entertaining reviews of adventure time
I just saw the adventure time finale and it’s kind of underwhelming
In my opinion adventure time as a whole is amazing. I love how the show first starts off with being a show more for younger kids but then you get to watch as the characters grow into adults and you get to learn about each characters backstory like their past and where they come from. Although I admit the earlier seasons aren’t as interesting it’s so amazing to see each character change and develop in the show. Especially Finn
I agree I’m personally a fan of developing more lore
i really liked the Future Seasons a bit more
@@uchihabomber1296same me too
It really got me in ‘Come Along With Me’ when BMO started singing and then everyone joined in. I loved Adventure Time, I’m so sad to see it end. But, I’m so happy it ended so triumphantly
To me, season 6 was where it started to get really interesting. I had been watching very casually up until this, then starting on season 6 I was super interested in keeping up
I don't know if I'm ready for it to end. It's been 8 years! Goodbye, Adventure Time
You know Rebecca Sugar wrote "Everything Stays", right? She even voices Marceline's mom.
She didn't
Gosh, the end made me cry
Fuco you saw it already?
I mean, the end of the video
Fuco oh should’ve finished the video before commenting
I’ve seen it now and it was great
Ehh.. the ending was not that good. They just ended it so quickly.. 😭😢
bruh, the title is as misleading at best. i was looking for a genuine criticism of adventure time apart from the ending and what i found was a shallow criticism of season 6 and slight praise of the other 4. not a "rise and fall" more of a small dip and then a plateu of success
Are you gonna make a review about the finale?
Yup along with a special guest!
@@NICKtendoReviews Shadow Streak?

I wanted more clear answers as the show progressed and often times I always felt the writers betrayed the fans of the show with overly complex to cryptically vague resolutions. As the seasons rolled on I found myself just accepting the fragmented story telling which ends up low key brilliant. If you put yourself in the frame of mind that this story is being told to you by a little kid you happen to bump into over the years, it seems to makes more sense. The story scope is small and the conflict remains mostly localized to a few characters, until a flash of chaos spills in to world building and plays out as a wild fantasy of a child.
Timmy should narrate more
I remember actually losing interest around the 2014 seasons (keep in mind I was younger), because Adventure Time went from being a wacky silly show to a complex art project. Now that I'm older and maturer, I think I might actually enjoy those later seasons given the kind of person I am.
The main characters got shafted in their own finale. But then I realized, it's because Finn/Jake weren't the main characters anymore, Marcy and Bubblegum were.
That's just stupid. Finn and Jake are literally the face of the show.
@@huynhvuongviet2410 They could've at least put more focus on Finn and Jake during the whole thing. I mean really, what was the reason they were there but to help the others? They barely had a purpose in the finale besides being support.
@@ConcealedWeaponry yeah. The show deviated so much from the original.
It's true that it's important to learn and understand other characters as well but to this point is ridiculous.
Also, yeah they should have given Finn more role during the final boss but they still manage to do the whole Simon romance with Betty sub plot good enough imo.
what a great two part video series! I clicked on because I thought about going back and rewatching after giving up, like yourself, around season 6. Loved all your jokes, and your cutaways- Going to check out your other videos now, thanks again:)
I just spent the last week watching the whole show start to finish. It is really solid, just really easy watching TV but it lacks an over arching plot that feels planned or built up to and I agree that there is perhaps too many episodes that don't really server in developing a character or overall story. The finale to me felt rushed like they had too much to try and tie together but all in all I'd give it a solid 8/10 for he dynamic of Finn and Jake alone. Also I think the BMO adventure is worth a watch but the PB and Marceline one is weak but that might just be because I don't like the inconsistencies in PBs character and how she feels like the only character that never really grew or changed over the the shows span.
I can agree and I'm still watching the show. Currently on season 6 which is not great but binging through it for now I'll give it a 7/10. Like you said, it's solid at best but in no shape or form is it a masterpiece.
Wake Up, Escape From The Citadel, The Comet, Hot Diggity Doom, Orgalorg, On the Lam, You forgot your floaties, Jermaine, Walnuts and Rain, Is that You?, Everything’s Jake, Evergreen, Astral Plane, the Diary, Dentist, Jake The Brick, Something Big, Little Brother, Food Chain, The Tower are all absolutely amazing episodes and all take place in Season 6.
Great vid btw
Finally someone said what I've been thinking for years! The change of story telling is just so big is unnerving. "Oh but the show just evolved you can't just expect for it to be the same forever" Regular show did an amazing job at sticking to a certain theme. Adventure time went from focusing on wacky adventures to life drama.
"But you see, LIFE is the biggest adventure of them all" I don't need to know that, I have my own life to experience that, I can get other shows to tell me that, but when people change something I used to love and turn it into something unrecognizable while calling it the same show is just crossing the line. I wouldn't mind this changes if they changed it to Adventure time: [INSERT A SUBTITLE HERE] Like Naruto Shippuden or Teen titans go, something for me to know that I'm not watching the same show as before. But no they tried to pretend it was the same show, and it wasn't, it just wasn't.
I'm sorry for this rant, I had to get this off my chest.
Regular show did not do an amazing job at sticking to a theme. By the last season they were in space or something
Fall...? WHAT FALL?! There was no fall! It was great from start to finish
the Hall of Egress is my personal favorite episode from the entire series.
That Episode is freakin‘ iconic bro
I think more accurately to say that Adventure Time took some questionable, but sometimes good plotting in season 6, got good with Season 7 again before going into the shadows with a mix of ok to some decent concepts for seasons 8-10 before ending in a mixed, but memorable finale with heartwarming fulfillment with some bittersweet undertones. It’s not that it became too lackluster, it just decided to humbly end on its own terms while giving other shows the spotlight since it served its purpose in making those shows a possibility with the game changer that Adventure Time really was to the animation media.
I don't think it ever really had a fall, I just think its viewers got older. Islands got me back into the show for about another week. I watched islands for the first time like a month or 2 ago and I stopped watching the show entirely around 2-3 years ago before I watched it. I wanted to cry. I forgot how happy the show made me and even after the years I stopped watching it still felt like I knew the characters so well. They felt like old friends to me. Meeting Finns mom and learning about how he came to be was important to me even as an 18 year old. Never in my life did I need something so much and never know until I received it.
In contrast, I actually loved the direction AT took after season 6 as I think it followed Finn's growth to adulthood and his existential crisis. I actually dug the "pretentiousness".
Season 7 was probably my favourite though. Season 7 and season 8? I'm not sure of the new order lol
Nice choice of "No Wonder I" in the beginning.
You were right about Golb!!!!
The series grew along the audience,thats why its getting more mature every episode
“Began to decline”

BOY THAT EPISODE WAS BEAUTIFUL YOUR ACTUALLY CRAZY
that one is good, never said it wasn’t!
Man stakes was awesome it's what made me love this series again seeing adventure time tell such an epic story
I’m very late to commenting. But I have thought this for the longest time and this video explained everything I have felt about season 6-10. It just didn’t have the same vibes as the past seasons. Even though there were a lot of banger episodes in between most of it was not about adventuring and the story went to a weird place
Season 6 was really the only problematic season there the rest were just awesome i also really like the alien jake arc
Yeeesh this has to be the hottest take anyone’s had on this series lmaoo, i feel like we were watching completely different shows. The world building and little pieces of lore that are scattered throughout each episode, it all builds up to the finale. Its mind boggling to hear you say they “tried to stretch out ideas from earlier seasons” as if they had never intended to extend those characters or plots. Im not sure, this show truthfully only got better for me as the series progressed. Weridd
I thought I was the only one who stopped watching adventure time around season 6 because after season 6 I just stopped caring. Now I have to rewatch the whole show.
Dude, you just reminded me of my favorite show. I stopped watching TV a while back, and I'd kind of forgotten how much I'd enjoyed the show as a kid. Me and my family watched every episode as they came out, but over time I kinda gave up on it. Thank you for making this video, and now, if you'll excuse me, I've got like 2 or 3 seasons of Adventure Time to catch up on.

Hey Nicktendo do you do squats?
Awesome review dude! Though can't take you seriously cause you sound like LSP XD Also that intro music is so goodd
"Energetic" was a great word choice. That's what the show really started to lack for me: the same energy and fun from seasons 1-3. The more philosophical and experimental era of the show really did drag it.
But like you said, the characters and the world always kept me watching. And it really did redeem itself Stakes onward. Gonna miss it.
I haven’t watched Adventure Time in YEARS but knowing that it’s ending so soon pains my heart. Finn and Jake’s wacky antics played a huge role in shaping my childhood and I’ll definitely be rewatching the series soon :’)
Watching the Island miniseries was the first time I have seen adventure time in years.
And yet by the end of it, it made me cry.
It reminded me a lot of the deep connection I have with my mom and all the memories I had growing up.
I think that's the magic of the show, even at it's low points.
It can still bring out a childlike sense of cheeriness.
While at it's very best it can reach down and hit you hard.
Even though I may have preferred Regular Show more.
Adventure Time will always hold a special place in my heart.
It was the last cartoon I truly grew up with before becoming an adult. (I was around 14 when the show first aired.)
Seeing how Finn has grown up as well is kinda poetic I guess lol.
I'll never forget seeing the ending to Holly Jolly Secrets for the first time.
It truly was one of a kind and opened the gates for this generation of animation.
Farewell Adventure Time, there'll never be another like you.
(Sorry for the rambling)
here just after finishing the final episode and im actually crying please cheer me up nick im so sad.... and your just fucking with it for the first bit
Season 6 is definitely the show's worst season. During this era, the show tried way hard to be philosophical and deep. It kinda came off as pretentious. Many of the episodes lack any real substance on surface level. Sure having an underlying meaning can add to an episode and can be neat. However, the episode needs to also have an actually interesting story otherwise it's just a bunch of fluff no matter if it has some "underlying symbolism". There were also a lot of episodes focusing on obscure side characters which I don't really care for. However, the show has really improved in the last 3 seasons.
The worse thing to do in media is to be pretentious.
Yeah
Season 1 was the best, it was silly nothing serious, just fun, it was funny too.
I do appreciate that Nicktendo share his opinion. I disagree with a lot of his feelings towards some episodes but my viewing of this show was more on Hulu. So I viewed a lot of episodes back to back so call backs didn’t seem pointless. And even if I didn’t like an episode I still appreciate them for what they are. Also islands to me is pretty solid for its stand outs. I’d like to see Nicktendo discuss Mission Hill and Close Enough.
This video has got to be one of the most genuinely shit takes I’ve ever heard
I under that this is your opinion and you have my most sincere condolences
nick has good taste because he’s playing party in the clouds
It’s over goodbye old friend
I have to say. This is the first time hearing someone's opinion is making me irritated. This just sounds like someone complaining about a show changing and growing with us as we grew up. I love the earlier seasons but oh my god just because the latter seasons are different doesn't mean they are bad. There was no fall of adventure time from what I've seen and heard.
lol welcome to the club, yeah his takes confuse the hell out of me and they frankly start contradicting each other
i get it’s for clicks but writing rise i wouldn’t say there’s a pure “rise and fall” of the show despite some underwhelming things in s6 even i can admit that
I strongly disagree with the idea that season 6 was the worst part of Adventure Time. It had a few of the show's weakest episodes, but it also had plenty that I would rank among my favorites, including Wake Up/Escape from the Citadel, Evergreen, Is That You?, You Forgot Your Floaties, and Graybles 1000+. I also really enjoy the headier philosophical episodes like Astral Plane, The Mountain, and even the often maligned Breezy. If often took more than one viewing for me to understand what some of these episodes were trying to say, that made it more interesting to revisit and dissect them.
One episode that I feel is overlooked when talking about season 6 is Walnuts and Rain. Lol that episode is the greatest criticism of capitalism in a cartoon.
I wish I stayed strong and continued watching after "Breezy". i watched the last episode but it doesn't feel as nostalgic and complete as it should.
Dude I couldn't watch it after Breezy either. It was just such a terrible way for Finn to get his arm back.
Goodbye FOREVER Adventure Time
Adventure time is definitely One of Cartoon Network‘s best creations!! Some episodes were random and not good. But the characters are so enjoyable. The world building is amazing for this cartoon. It’s definitely one of my favorite cartoons. 😇
But I prefer cartoons for fun
Gonna have to disagree
I felt like Season 6 was the point the show went downhill, and I kind of stopped paying attention to it until towards the very end, mostly because Cartoon Network kind of stopped airing it frequently in favor of Teen Titans Go, and that was around the point I stopped really watching television in general. At least it had a good ending in my opinion, rather than something underwhelming.
Lemongrab and the mountain of Matthew is a well handled rumination on suicidal thoughts.
This is how I'd rank the seasons
Season 1: 10/10
Season 2: 10/10
Season 3: 10/10
Season 4: 9.5/10
Season 5 Part 1: 9/10
Season 5 Part 2: 6/10
Season 6: 5/10
Season 7: 8/10
Season 8: 9.9/10
Season 9: 9.9/10
Season 10: Haven't Watched
Honestly, I think the show stopped being good in the 2nd half of season 5, and season 6 was even worse. I only really enjoyed 3 episodes from season 6, but luckily season 7 improved, but still not on par with the first 3 seasons, then season 8 came around, and WOW, the show greatly improved in season 8, being on par with the first 3 seasons, and season 9 was also as good as season 8. I still have yet to watch season 10.
Season 1 and 2 are literally garbage compared to 4 and 5. Not that they don't have their moments. And the second half of season 5 is where episodes like lemonhope, Betty, we fixed a truck, be more, the vault, and root beer guy are. Aka the best episodes of season 5. And season 6 is better than them all!
