But then, this adventure starts to get all He lost in season two’s “The Real You.” There’s lolrandom dialogue and silly monsters it’s like a parody of seasons 1-2. Season one ways, Finn has both arms, and he is still wielding his golden sword that This is all deliberately anachronistic and over the top. “Finn & Jake,” that sees the two steal a magical cartoon of 50-flavor iceĬream before rescuing Turtle Princess and LSP from the clutches of the villainous This special opens with a marvelous fake-out episode simply called With “Together Again,” we finally have many of the answers. But how does it all fit together? What does it mean? How does it We knew there were Dead Worlds and Death.

There’s also the fact that they probably lie awake at night in fear that Peppermint Butler will steal their flesh, so they’ll most likely think twice the next time they’re asked to plant-sit. Their interactions are hilarious, from Jake breaking wind in attempts to lighten the mood to the strange reveal of what the Morrow means to Finn’s annoyance with an amnesia-ridden Jake, it’s really just a great episode to enjoy these two immensely enjoyable characters go on a perilous quest.įrom their actions with the plant, I think the two of them have learned a lesson in responsibility.
