So I saw that new Adventure Time special. It definitely gave me a lot to think about. God did it give me a lot to think about.:
22nd May 2021
The whole thing was very existential like many later-season episodes tend to be, and appeared very beautiful in how it portrayed its narrative, plus it seemed nice that they actually gave something for The Lich to do after he was absent from the series finale. But the whole thing just felt really depressing, y'know what with both of the main characters being dead and all. I suppose it's also a bit of a shame that Finn's life after the Gum War wasn't really noted that much (yes, I know, another Finncel seething over his love life not getting a satisfying ending, but still). I mean, if Bubblegum and Marceline got a whole episode to themselves about their relationship, then I suppose it would make sense for Finn's later life to also be touched on (I mean, It wouldn't make sense to put people like Flame Princess in the title sequence if they weren't gonna show up). Though to be fair, Bubbline is by far the most popular ship in the series and basically single-handedly maintained the show's mainstream popularity in its later years, but Finn is still the main character, guys. Of course, you could say that the whole thing's open-ended to allow for the show to continue at a later date, but I don't really know if that will be happening anytime soon.

Together Again very much entails finality; both of the characters are dead forever (well, ignoring reincarnation of course), so I suppose it wouldn't make much sense to continue on with them in the future when there technically is no future for them, since their spirits have now being reincarnated, so I guess you can't really do anything with them until the dust settles in a long while, otherwise any continuation would feel like a cheap cash grab. Speaking of continuations, I suppose my personal ideas for a second series won't need to change much to fit into this new work, except for one major problem in the plot: Ghost Jake is one of the show's main characters and regularly interacts with Finn on his adventures. This goes completely against the main conflict of Together Again, where Finn is disappointed that Jake never communicated with him at any point following his death, despite that being possible for him to do. I could always work around this, but it may be difficult to do. I could just say that it was all a dream that Finn had to cope with Jake's death, but saying anything's "just a dream" is basically the cheapest of cop-outs you could possibly do. On the other hand, I could instead say that Finn and Jake would have to erase their post-death memories of each other following the events of the second series to allow Jake to ascend further towards reincarnation, like what happened to Donna in the Series 4 finale of Doctor Who (spoilers btw), but I also don't want to throw out Finn's characterisation and character development in this series.  Once again, the finality of this special wouldn't really allow for a proper continuation on the scale of the main series itself. I could maybe consider a comic series instead, like those sequel comics for Buffy the Vampire Slayer, and have the timeline diverge after "Come Along with Me", but I don't suppose I have the patience for writing and drawing comics independently the same way I do for basic script writing, but maybe something more might come of it in the future if I go down that route (like an adaptation somewhere down the line).
