Why Adventure Time is More than Just a Kid's Show

by Rose

I honestly thought that Cartoon Network had hit rock bottom, but then I watched Adventure Time for the first time a couple years back. I had never seen a funnier show!

To the naked eye, it looks ridiculous. Why is everyone made of candy? Why can that dog talk? What’s with that kid’s hat? But as you get deeper into the show, it’s more than just a bunch of characters running around and screaming. The show is a post-apocalyptic version of Earth, and a lot has changed since the ‘Mushroom War.’


This show is real talk. Adventure Time will make you laugh, cry, and you'll want to go on adventures of your own. I have learned so much from Finn, Jake, Marceline, and even the Ice King. This show isn’t one of those ridiculous cartoons like ‘Annoying Orange’ or ‘Secret Mountain Fort Awesome,’ and if you like either of those shows, please stop reading.

I’m not saying to be obsessed with it, or cosplay all the time as the characters (though it’s really fun). I’m just saying watch a couple episodes - each one is only fifteen minutes long.

Give it a chance - at least open yourself up to liking it. If you do that and STILL find it annoying and incredibly stupid, it’s cool. At least you gave it a chance to prove how awesome and adventure-y it is.
