2023 Fionna and Cake Intro got me like:

Guys I'm okay I swear 😁

Lore, Nostalgia, and Fan Service. These were the ingredients chosen to create the perfect Adventure Time spinoff. But Pendleton Ward accidentally added an extra ingredient to the concoction: Clinical Depression.

[CorrectsYou]

I like that they didn't shy away from letting Fionna be 29. They could have just kept her age ambiguous.

Adventure time in 2013: I wanna go on an epic adventure!

Adventure time in 2023: The tax deadline is next week...

[logicaloverdrive]

"Everyday's the same, painfully mundane" As cool as it is that the show grew up with us, it also fuckin' hurts how close to home it can hit.

[FarmFamGaming]

Dang,
How did Adventure Time grow up to the point that they know we have depression.

[mmlord]

Such a Gen-Z intro. The producers knew that Adventure Time’s fun-loving children audience grew up to be the nihilistic teens/young adults

[poweroffriendship.]

Adventure Time went from a goofy action adventure cartoon with surreal moments, nonsensical swears, and subtle adult jokes to a story-driven icon that doesn't shy away with actual swearing and showing a bits of gore but still retains the magic it once had during the CN haydays, which recalls that the show just grew up with its audience and the fun will never ends.

Plus, look how far Finn have come in this show. Even as an adult with a heroic physique, he still keep his "inner kid hero" personality from the early seasons, but the different is that he takes his responsibility as an adventurer.

“Every time I leave my room I wanna die.”

Literally everyone: *y e s*

[BunkerSquirrel]

Now THIS is the adult cartoon content I’ve been waiting for. Using its rating to emphasize mature topics, not just make fart and pickle jokes.

[SomeAnomalousJumper]

It's nice to see this franchise in action again after so long, and apparently those dreams, weren't dreams from the Ice King, but a peer into another universe of sorts. Although it will end some day, one way or another it will always be sublime, cuz one way or another there will forever be: *Adventure Time.*

[lamiaceae]

All jokes aside I just wanna say how much I LOVE Fiona in this series. She's relatable as hell and this intro is basically everyone in 2023. Oh and not to mention Fiona is gorgeous in this series aswell

[KayneAung]

I really love that they decided to target more mature audience instead of staying with kids audience man, that was worth it decision ngl.
Now we have caked Adventure Time that's too relatable.

[bronxishomenomatterwhereig]

This theme song described how i felt in my 20s. Working basic jobs just staying a float. With no real drive or direction in life. Now in my early 30s. More accomplished, driven with a purpose. And a bit wiser and experienced.

My advice to those who relate closely to this song? Life is truly what you make of it. So dont wait for something cool or awesome to happen to it. You make it happen.

Do what cha gotta do to eat. But make that time for the things that make life fun and interesting for you. Or make time to explore and try things to find what that is.

[Codex]

This song officially describes the life of a 28 year old guy who's about to quit his job...wait a second 😢

[RetroVzqz]

It's called "Lyrical Dissonance"

And is one of the most effective songwriting techniques to get others to notice

Where the lyrics and music are on opposite spectrums of emotional and mood content

"Pumped Up Kicks" (2010) by Foster The People, Hey Ya! (2003) by OutKast, literally anything by early Coldplay etc etc etc.

All great exmaples of it

[__]

the lyrics make sense because the show will have some swear words

[eminkilicaslan]

They really went from
"Come along with me, with the butterflies and bees."
to
"Everytime I leave my room I wanna d!e."

How a show resonate with audience at that level.

[didjargo]

I love how the opening theme for the first episode tricks you into thinking this show will be a slice-of-life story about a young adult navigating her mundane life of balancing relationships and bouncing from job to job.

[ngocquynhdang]

The adventure to pay tax and finish the deadline ON TIME 👏💀

*Fun Fact:*
The last time America's wealth disparity was this extreme, children were working in factories and war was brewing in Europe.
