The AT crew confirmed on twitter they’ll resolve the subplots and used an example “Will Ice King finally be happy?” for that. We are in for a ride.
Oh, good! This is actually one of the things that makes me happy about the show coming to an end. With Adventure Time, I always felt that the writers had to hold back any conclusions to subplots that would lead to a permanent change, because the show had to keep it’s Status Quo intact.
For instance, I always knew that if Ice King’s plot ever ends with him becoming Simon again (or something along these lines), it would only happen near the end of the show. Because Ice King is one of the most recognizable icons of the show, you know? I don’t think that Cartoon Network would let him change entirely half-way through the series.
But now that it’s near the end, I feel like the writers can finally go nuts with all the plots that they want to resolve. There’s no reason to hold back too much. And what’s better is that they can do it gradually and naturally through the course of 2 entire seasons! I’m pretty excited to see what’s in store, really!
