In a past episode, the influence of the Ice Crown was temporarily lifted, and for a brief span of time Ice King assumed his identity as Simon Petrikov once again. And of course, we know nothing about Finn’s mother, aside from her Farmworld version. Also, as the last human boy, Finn’s human origins will also likely involve the fate of the human race in the aftermath of the Mushroom War, thus contributing to the greater Ooo-verse in that way also. Consequently, whatever the writers conceive as Finn’s origins will likely tie deeply into their philosophy of what it means to be a child, a theme that they’ve developed pretty thoughtfully in the past.

Why it’s a big deal:įinn is the archetypal child of the series the events that befall him and his reactions play out the drama of every boy and girl, whether it’s getting over crushes, coming to grips with tragedy, or learning to live without having all the answers. The details are vague, and the imagery of the flashback depicts some monstrously large vessel or being in the sea with glowing eyes, bearing down on their ship. Finn’s PastĮven though we’ve spent an entire season with Martin running around, we’ve learned almost nothing about Finn’s human origins, aside from the fractured explanation he gave when cornered back in “The Visitor”: on a ship in a stormy sea somewhere, he defended Finn from all sorts of monsters, but eventually they came to an important crossroads, and chose a path where Finn couldn’t follow.

As much as I’d like the series to just take the million in the briefcase and walk away, there are still plot-lines rife with possibility in the world of Ooo, some trivial, others profound, but regardless, here are the eight story arcs I’m most excited to see in Season 7 (keeping in mind it’s a completely personal list): 1. After the climax of the Finnale, part of me sincerely wanted the show to just stop, for fear that future episodes would only dilute the dense streak of quality established in these first six seasons.īut that’s quitter talk, of course. The conclusion to Adventure Time’s sixth season was perfect enough to have effectively ended the series, so what more is there to explore in Ooo in the coming season? Fortunately, plenty!įollowing a series you love sometimes feels like backseat driving: you find yourself mentally shouting at the writers to make this turn or that, avoid this dead-end, take the next exit off of this story-arc that’s mired in narrative traffic.
