1
Adventure Time is the Cartoon Network show with the most natural transition from innocent wacky fun episodes to dark and depressing storylines.
2
Season 1 to 2 was just about this energetic human named Finn, and his magic dog going around the land of Ooo,
3
fighting cool creatures, but also some of the weirdest villains ever.
4
It's breaking time!
5
YAAAHHHHH!
6
Do you want to do this marriage thing with me?
7
Oh my love, the answer is yes.
8
But then we get introduced to the Lich, the ultimate villain of the show.
9
And yeah, the guy manages to pull off the most outrageous and heinous acts, not just for Adventure Time,
10
but for a Cartoon Network show as a whole.
11
Spoilers, obviously.
12
In one episode, the Lich kills
13
Finn and Jake's hero, Billy, offscreen, and wears his corpse to trick them.
14
No, no, man, what the f* is this?
15
The lore goes back even further, when you realize that
16
Finn and Jake live in a post -apocalyptic world brought on by the Mushroom War, which causes Marceline to be homeless and Simon,
17
the Ice King, to come to her aid before he goes fully insane.
18
But there was one episode that completely stun locked me.
19
An episode that didn't really require prior knowledge of the lore of the show.
20
An episode that made me deeply reflect on myself and my surroundings.
21
The episode called Pahoy.
22
The episode begins in the treehouse with Jake and BMO making a pillow fort.
23
Well, other than it being fun as hell, they're doing this because there's a knife storm outside.
24
While Jake's having fun, Finn is just depressed and isn't about it.
25
He explained that he told a joke to his current girlfriend flame princess
26
and she didn't even laugh he just sits there moping
27
but then jake gives some pretty useful advice albeit in a very ridiculous way having a girlfriend is hard no
28
being crazy is hard you're getting all hung up all hung up on imaginary problems
29
you gotta focus on what's real man now this all makes sense right well
30
this is what he says next you see this cup this is literally my favorite cup now it's gone forever
31
so it's not real
32
and i don't care about anymore yeah complete nonsense right i'll get back to this anyway finn decides
33
that he wants to be alone for a while
34
so he goes deep into their pillow fort as he goes further though he eventually finds this latch
35
when he opens it he finds himself in this strange pillow world
36
and naturally finn is confused and thinks jake built it too
37
that guy needs some more girlfriends
38
or something hey jake you need more girl what the
39
so the door is gone and finn heads off to a nearby pillow town in hopes
40
that he can find a door back to the tree fork, where he finds a blanket dragon.
41
What's up bro?
42
Nothing much man, just gonna beat the shit out of you!
43
After that, the mayor of the town comes to thank
44
Finn, and greets him by saying the episode's name.
45
Oh boy there!
46
He calls for a party to celebrate, where Finn, like he's been doing since the beginning of the episode, sits by himself away from everyone else.
47
The daughter of the mayor, Rosalinin, meets with him and asks him to dance.
48
He politely declines saying that he has a girlfriend, but she just says it's one dance.
49
Yeah, heard those words before?
50
I sense a trickery here!
51
He then asks the mayor to help him find the door to his homeworld.
52
And while Quilton seems eager to help, he doesn't have any idea how to find it.
53
Then we go back to the tree fort to see
54
Jake fishing for the mug he threw out the window.
55
What an absolute mug.
56
When we go back to what
57
Finn's up to, we find that he's already started a family with Rosalind.
58
Let me remind you what she said before this.
59
Dummy, it's a dance, not marriage.
60
Pathetic!
61
It's absolutely pathetic, man!
62
We then get to see
63
Finn, who's all grown up, with this majestic ass beard.
64
Get his beard though!
65
It's so solid!
66
Colton arrives and tells
67
Finn that he found a book that discusses the whereabouts of the door back to his homeworld.
68
He says that archaeologists say that it appears and disappears randomly, and there's no way to tell when it will again.
69
Finn tells him that he needs to find it, which obviously gets his wife very worried.
70
Next we see Finn.
71
He's a lot older, with a grey beard.
72
A cool detail is his right arm.
73
It's no longer human, but a pillow -like robot arm.
74
This is foreshadowing how
75
Finn will eventually lose his arm at the end of the season.
76
A detail that almost every alternate version of Finn we have seen so far has had.
77
He meets this oracle who sounds like
78
Rex from Toy Story.
79
Then you must be Finn, the human man.
80
So there's another way to...
81
Were you scared?
82
Tell me honestly.
83
I think I'm just coming off as annoying.
84
The oracle tells him that he knew
85
Finn would come because he read a newspaper from the future.
86
To which Finn asks...
87
Does it say how I get home?
88
The real question is, are you sure you want to?
89
Uh, yeah.
90
Well, don't worry.
91
You won't be here long.
92
He discusses the cryptic behavior of the Oracle with his family
93
and tells them that the Oracle spoke in riddles and that he's going to fester on this one.
94
Just like he told
95
Jake before he entered the pillow world.
96
I'll get back to this later.
97
Rosalind gets emotional and tells
98
Finn to remember them when he goes back to his real life.
99
This triggers Finn to remember another thing that
100
Jake told him before entering the pillow world.
101
You're getting all hung up on imaginary problems.
102
Stay with your new wife.
103
You've known her longer now than any of us.
104
You're not even sure I ever really existed.
105
So Finn's mind is completely distorted.
106
It makes sense given how long he's been in this world.
107
What distorted Jake says is interesting when we compare it to what real Jake said.
108
Again, I'll come back to this.
109
The fake memory convinces
110
Finn to stay and he forgets about finding the door.
111
The next we see him though, he's on his death bed.
112
He's old, grumpy, and can barely understand his kids.
113
Eventually he dies, and what we see next is still the most confusing and oddly terrifying scene in all of Adventure Time.
114
We see a black void with this big ass creature.
115
He's just sitting there.
116
Old Finn drifts close to him, bounces off his tongue, and flies away.
117
The creature then turns back to face him, the both of them looking at each other briefly, before Finn wakes up back in the tree floor.
118
He slides down, and Jake asks him how he's feeling.
119
Finn says he had a weird dream, and just as he's about to tell he gets a phone call from flame princess
120
it turns out flame princess just didn't get the joke
121
that finn told at first but now she does
122
and finds it funny jake's happy for finn
123
but then asks him about the dream
124
and finn completely forgets what about this dream what dream the dream
125
you just had in the pillow fort let me remind
126
you what rosalynn asked of finn just promise me you'll remember us
127
when you're back in your real life although technically he never did promise her anything
128
So, what did this entire episode mean?
129
Yeah, I know the episode tells us it's a dream.
130
Respectfully, that's horse shit.
131
That is f*ing horse shit.
132
My initial interpretation when this episode came out was that it all happened.
133
Finn married a pillow woman, had pillow kids, and spent decades with them.
134
But, given that he doesn't remember any of it, then that shouldn't be the case, right?
135
After all, we forget most of our dreams when we wake up.
136
Let's just go back to that red monster thing
137
Finn sees before he dies.
138
Now, even when this episode came out, no one knew what this thing was.
139
It was only when Adam Muto, the showrunner, revealed its name that people started to understand and speculate.
140
His name is Golb.
141
Now, in Adventure Time, there's a guy called Glob, who's presumably a deity in the show.
142
We can infer this, since in Season 1, everyone loves to use his name instead of just saying God.
143
Oh my Glob.
144
Oh my Glob.
145
Oh my Glob, man, everyone's dead.
146
Is everyone at church worshipping Glob?
147
So if Glob is seen as the good of the universe, or God, is Golb the evil of the universe, or the devil?
148
In Adventure Time, there are literal beings called life and death.
149
So I don't think it's that simple that Glob can represent life and Gulp can represent death.
150
I think Gulp represents something higher, since it's stated that he inhabits a dimension outside of the universe.
151
Here's what I think happened.
152
I think everything that
153
Finn experiences in the Pillow World is real.
154
But as soon as Finn is about to die, his view shatters and comes face to face with Gulp.
155
I believe this encounter emphasizes that Gulp destroyed the Pillow World.
156
And as a result, it's like it never happened.
157
Just completely erased.
158
Later on, we find out that this Gulp creature is the embodiment of chaos.
159
He basically just stirs shit and destroys stuff.
160
If it was merely a dream, why would the writers want to show Gulp?
161
Sure, it could just be for setup, but there's never one reason why the AT writers include things.
162
Another idea is that Gulp destroyed the world because Finn growing up
163
and becoming more powerful could result in him being a threat to him.
164
Just more speculation there.
165
The second interpretation has a lot of weight to it, but it's one that I'm mixed on.
166
If you think back to what
167
Jake tells Finn, both the real and fake versions, he questions the idea of reality.
168
You gotta focus on what's real, man.
169
Or, Stay with your new wife.
170
Think about what he says to Finn when he throws the cup.
171
Now it's gone forever, so it's not real, and I don't care about it anymore.
172
This is shown by Finn at the end of the episode.
173
Finn's family is gone forever, so it's not real, and he doesn't care about it anymore.
174
That in itself is such a dark and twisted outcome.
175
Ultimately, Finn's journey to the pillar world only begins with him saying to Jake that he's gonna fester with his thoughts.
176
And Jake says, Festering's always bad, man.
177
There's no good kind of festering.
178
After Finn meets the Oracle, he says he needs to fester some ideas about what the Oracle means,
179
which leads him to continue staying in the Pillow World.
180
Perhaps if Finn stopped overthinking about Flame Princess and overthinking about where he was, that he could have found his way back to the Tree 4.
181
It's to show the viewers that overthinking everything can lead you to mysterious places, and sometimes it may lead to good things,
182
but overall it's gonna force the life out of you.
183
You overthinking about whatever it is, is just a waste of time, and it won't matter in the end.
184
With either interpretation, I can confidently say that this is the most thought -provoking and uneasy episode in Adventure Time.

什麼是跟讀法？
跟讀法 (Shadowing) 是一種有科學依據的語言學習技巧，最初開發用於專業口譯員的培訓，並由多語言者Alexander Arguelles博士普及。這個方法簡單而強大：您在聽英語母語原聲的同時立即大聲重複——就像是一個延遲1-2秒緊跟說話者的影子。與被動聽力或語法練習不同，跟讀法強迫您的大腦和口腔肌肉同時處理並模模擬實的講話模式。研究表明它能顯著提高發音準確性，語調，節奏，連讀，聽力理解和口語流利度——使其成為雅思口語備考和真實英語交流最有效的方法之一。
