I am floored by the positive reception of this show, and I'm convinced the fans of this show are genuinely disconnected from the original. Not only do the characters behave in a way that is not true to character, but they frankly regress from lessons that were shown to be learned in the original Adventure Time-from Marceline not giving Simon her time, Finn being irresponsible in his care for Simon, and for Prismo not only failing to do his job as Wishmaster, but also being recast after what seems like a less than half-hearted attempt by the studio to contact Kumail Nanjiani to reprise his role. In an effort to make Fionna and Cake appeal to an older audience, with added mature language and genuinely needless violence, it deliberately distances itself from Adventure Time, a show for everybody, to become a show just for a mature audience. To see this concept being executed properly, we only need to compare Steven Universe to Steven Universe Future, the latter of which is still accessible to kids and adults alike, in contrast to this show. The irony is not lost on me that the show is premised on a time auditor trying to capture the protagonists because they shouldn't exist, which is proven as they travel through each universe within this series, they are destructive and careless, hurting people and damaging the environment with no regard for anyone but themselves. This is a massive departure from the wholesomeness and "life-lesson" learning style of Adventure Time, damaging the canon that existed prior to this series and a careless disregard for rewriting characters in such a way that they are hardly recognizable to their Adventure Time counterparts. To not see the shortcomings of this show and what it has done to disrespect the legacy of the Adventure Time universe is to be blinded by the selfish efforts to canonize an inter-world fan-fiction that had little business existing in the first place.
