I know that lately this is sort of heresy among the general populace, but I would just like to note that I can't ******** stand Adventure Time and thus dislike this event. Or anything Cartoon Network has put out since they stopped making Teen Titans since it was the best show ever in the history of forever. They're mostly just throwing s**t at the wall and hoping it sticks. Sure, every episode HAS a narrative, but it's a really dumb and confusing one that ultimately serves no purpose. And I know this may sound weird coming from a
brony, but it all just seems so... childish.
It's not weird. It's hypocritical.
It's not really hypocritical if I freely acknowledge the MLP is childish, too. But it's childish in a different way. Basically, Adventure Time, like I said, seems like it's throwing crap at the walls and hoping it sticks. It's very spastic and nonsensical. MLP is childish in that it's trying to it's trying to teach a lesson. It doesn't talk down to the target audience, it doesn't stoop to the low-hanging fruit, and it faces its issues as head-on as it can while still being family-friendly. (It's also specifically geared right from the beginning to be enjoyable enough to adults so parents watching with their kids wouldn't have to suffer.)
Adventure Time just basically goes "OOH LOOK SHINY THING LAUGH AT THE SHINY THING LOOKIT LAUGH LOOKIT LAUGH LOOKIT" every few seconds. It seems to be the television equivalent of dangling keys in front of a baby to make them laugh for a few seconds, but geared towards kids and young teens.
If people like Adventure Time, that's fine by me, but it just hits me in exactly the right way to aggravate instead of entertain.
