Jaw-Dropping Moments from the Revamped Adventure Time That Shocked Fans

Summary

Adventure Time: Fionna and Cake is the first media from the series to have a TV-14 rating, allowing for more mature content and adult humor.

The new series delves into mature topics, showcasing Finn and Simon enjoying a drink at a bar and Simon becoming intoxicated in Prismo's time room. Fionna and Cake boldly tests limits with instances of profanity, intense fight scenes, and adult humor, infusing the show with a renewed and edgier allure.

Adventure Time: Fionna and Cake is the latest addition to the franchise, offering a more mature perspective on the original series. This spin-off follows the footsteps of Adventure Time: Distant Lands, which was the first to explore the further adventures of Finn, Jake, and the beloved characters that have been introduced since the show's debut in 2010. However, what sets Adventure Time: Fionna and Cake apart is that it is the first piece of content from the series to grow alongside its audience.

10 Finn Reminisces With Simon At A Bar

: Adventure Time and Adventure Time: Distant Lands were originally created for young children but were designed to be enjoyed by a wide range of viewers. Despite pushing the boundaries of the TV-PG rating, Adventure Time was still limited by certain constraints. However, Adventure Time: Fionna and Cake ventured into a TV-14 rating, similar to adult cartoons like Rick and Morty. Although it maintained the essence of Cartoon Network, Adventure Time: Fionna and Cake explored more daring and provocative moments that fully utilized its new rating.

In the early stages of the new series, Simon Petrikov, formerly known as the Ice King and now a displaced human, joins Finn at a bar for a drink. Simon expresses his frustration with the public's fascination with the stories he wrote about Fionna and Cake during his time as the Ice King. Finn tries to console Simon by reminding him that he used to tease him about those old stories, but now he has become a fan of them. This playful exchange between beloved characters from Adventure Time would have been unlikely in their original versions.

9 Simon Getting Drunk In Prismo's Time Room

This statement may come as a surprise to those who may have overlooked the fact that the series has now been given a more mature rating. Due to this new rating, the use of such explicit language is not allowed in the Adventure Time universe, which is classified as TV-PG. The fact that this line occurs in a bar setting adds an extra layer of delightful profanity, although the specific drinks being consumed by Simon and Finn are never explicitly mentioned. This somewhat unexpected adult moment occurs within the whimsical world of Adventure Time, pushing the boundaries of what the original series could previously get away with in terms of explicit language.

Last spotted enjoying a drink at a candy-filled bar, it is plausible that Simon opted for a more innocent and sugary concoction. However, within the perpetual bachelor pad of Prismo's time room, it becomes evident that he has ventured toward stronger libations. As he agonizingly revisits his darkest moments as the Ice King, a despondent Simon seeks solace in the discovery of alcoholic beverages hidden within the time room.

8 Fionna's Uniform Fiasco

- The cans labeled "Aussie Beer" clearly indicate that Simon was using alcohol to escape his troubles. His immature and complaining behavior afterwards, even when facing the danger of The Scarab, further confirms his intoxicated state. Additionally, the fact that he is completely naked upon entering the time room adds a hilarious and inappropriate NSFW moment that would never be suitable for Adventure Time.

Serving as an introduction to the new series' bolder approach, the first installment of Adventure Time: Fionna and Cake showcases a remarkably hilarious outburst from the grown-up Fionna. Trapped within a mundane, contemporary world, the inaugural episode of Fionna's eponymous show commences with her growing weary of her unfulfilling job as a tour guide. The modern backdrop raises queries about the timeline in which Adventure Time: Fionna and Cake unfolds, while the first episode likewise sets the stage for more mature humor to follow.

7 Finn Gives A Giant Fish A Third Nostril

Reaching her breaking point, Fionna finds herself fired and promptly requested to return her uniform. In an act of defiance, she takes matters into her own hands by pulling down her pants right in front of her clueless boss. To add to the absurdity, her former supervisor blurts out, "Jesus, Stop!" - an expletive that seems strangely out of place in the overall tone of the show. As the scene wraps up, the audience is treated to more lighthearted profanity from Fionna as she exclaims, "Damn it, my uniform!" in frustration as a coffee spill dashes her hopes of recovering the deposit on her outfit.

Adventure Time was no stranger to exhilarating combat encounters, as the show's fantastical and turbulent essence gave rise to numerous inventive action sequences. However, the depiction of blood proved to be a complex artistic challenge for the series. Within the confines of its TV-PG rating, the show occasionally managed to present minor wounds or non-crimson blood from supernatural beings. Nevertheless, none of these instances can rival the sheer intensity of the violence unleashed by an adult Finn.

Using the hapless Simon as bait, Finn endeavors to rescue him from his stagnancy by endangering his life, luring a monstrous fish. Resembling a mythical Trolval sea creature from Icelandic folklore, the beast's assault is abruptly halted as Finn swoops down upon it with a colossal stake, puncturing the being's head and causing blood to spurt out. Although brutal, the demonstration of violence is brief, and Finn takes a moment to express gratitude to the creature for providing sustenance.

6 Finn Kills A Giant Bear

The forest Finn leads Simon into, in an effort to help him overcome his stagnation, turns out to be a perilous place. They are quickly confronted by a colossal green bear, which almost frightens Simon to his core. Without hesitation, Finn acts swiftly and, using only his bare hands, manages to break the creature's neck.

While fans of the series are no stranger to witnessing Finn's fights, it is truly astonishing to see him unleash such a brutal finishing move on an opponent that was likely only defending its territory. What adds to the shock factor is Finn's audacity to raise the stakes with a TV-14 rating, right before landing a powerful punch and taunting the bear with the words, "Suck these knucks!". Moreover, the bear inflicts some brutal wounds on both Simon and Finn, leaving them more severely injured than ever before.

5 Multiple Characters Flip The Bird

Despite only possessing three fingers, the characters of Adventure Time: Fionna and Cake expertly mimic numerous impolite gestures. An example of this occurs when Fionna is dismissed from her role as a bus tour guide, where she discreetly extends two fingers backwards to express her frustration towards the departing bus. This specific gesture, equivalent to the offensive middle finger in the U.K., might have been purposely chosen to lessen the impact on the U.S. audience.

4 Prismo Uses Colorful Language While Creating Fionna

However, surprisingly enough, the classic gesture of the extended middle finger makes a sudden appearance in a later part of the series. In a parallel universe, Fionna and Cake come across a cyborg rendition of Choose Goose, a comical background character from the main series who ironically communicates in rhymes, and he promptly gives them the offensive gesture. Furthermore, there is a fleeting moment when the original universe's Finn's Dad, Marten Mertens, is spotted flashing both middle fingers, seemingly in a mugshot.

One of the most astonishing revelations in Adventure Time: Fionna and Cake is that Fionna and Cake are not mere figments of the Ice King's imagination, but actual individuals. Unbeknownst to the Ice King, the Wishmaster named Prismo, a mighty being with cosmic powers, secretly brings forth this duo and their alternative universe. Their existence remains concealed within the depths of the Ice King's mind. The series even provides a fleeting glimpse of Prismo engaged in this creation process, while employing some TV-14 language.

An ardent admirer of Finn and Jake, Prismo creates their counterparts using a certain blueprint, commenting about Fionna, "She's going to be a formidable fighter, so she will require an exceptional sword." The subtle profanity may easily go unnoticed and is delivered in a natural manner, but it is worth noting as it reflects the more relaxed rating. Regrettably, Kumail Nanjiani, the original voice actor for Prismo, did not return to the series due to suspicious circumstances and was unable to deliver this line himself.

3 Cake Nearly Drops An F-Bomb

Fionna's loyal companion and best friend, Cake the Cat, takes on the role of Jake the dog in a clever gender-swapped version. Initially seen as an ordinary household feline in Fionna's contemporary setting, Cake rediscovers her ability to communicate and wastes no time utilizing it to her advantage. With her sassy demeanor and sharp sense of humor, she adds a touch of brilliance to Adventure Time: Fionna and Cake, now sporting a TV-14 rating.

One of the initial jokes arises in the very first scene of the show, where Fionna envisions her perfect world and herself as a mystical girl. In an energetic display of bravery, Fionna confronts a rat-like bus monster on an icy skating rink, seizing the chance for a wordplay, Cake tells her to "Puck him up, girl!". While not explicitly explicit, Cake's playful rhyme could easily be misconstrued, leading to the line being inevitably removed if the series had been shown with a TV-PG rating.

2 Marceline and Princess Bubblegum Make A Tattoo Artist Mad

Marceline and Princess Bubblegum, the beloved duo, are noticeably absent in Adventure Time: Fionna and Cake. Despite being main characters and having their own special episode in Adventure Time: Distant Lands, the candy elemental and vampire queen make a brief appearance in the latest show. This cameo suggests that they are now leading a more tranquil life with fewer obligations.

1 Fionna Slaughters The Mad Candy People

: Simon Petrikov, being one of Marceline's closest friends, attempts to reach out to discuss his troubles. However, he unintentionally interrupts a hilarious moment when Bubblegum and Marceline, eager to get tattoos, face challenges due to their unique biology. This causes frustration for the spider-like tattoo artist, who Marceline humorously describes as "growing increasingly agitated." Despite its slightly mature theme, Adventure Time: Fionna and Cake ensures that the enjoyable scene is not omitted, remaining true to the lighthearted nature of the show.

In one of the most peculiar parallel dimensions explored in the Fionna and Cake series, Princess Bubblegum and The Ice King assume reversed roles. The Ice Prince exudes charm as a eligible bachelor and benevolent ruler, while the deranged Candy Queen aspires to abduct him, employing an army of extraordinary, mutant candy individuals. Unaware that the Ice Prince has simply transferred his derangement from the crown to Princess Bubblegum, the Candy Queen embarks on a rampage, mercilessly exterminating candy inhabitants.

Portrayed in a chilling arrangement, the content fragment illuminates the negative consequences of Fionna's impulsive inclination to initiate conflict before seeking understanding. Although the intense action sequence does not depict explicit bloodshed or gore involving humans, the savage nature of the supposed protagonist's assaults on the candy inhabitants goes far beyond the boundaries of a TV-PG rating. With artificial candy blood and entrails being flung about, the severity of the violence conveyed surpasses expectations. Eventually recognizing the wrongful nature of her aggressive behavior, Fionna's transformation in this NSFW scene from Adventure Time: Fionna and Cake is undeniably impactful.
