So...this was just the new showrunners trying to fuck over Pendleton Ward right?

This couple single-handedly ruined animation.

It started the last minute lesbian reveal cliche, so I agree.

How would that fuck him over and why would they want to fuck him over?

He already fucked himself over by making this garbage show to begin with. Nothing but irony, deconstruction, and screaming.

to fuck with pendleton ward

no it was just shippers with odious personal politics who couldn't help themselves and inject their gay fanfics into a kids show

Pretty sure Korra did it first.

That's because when you're on your last episode, you don't have to worry about rocking the boat or hurting your chance at a new season. Execs have less of a reason to stop you.

Shut the fuck up faggot

I stopped following Adventure Time after season 6 and just assumed the Hermitmoth porn comics were the true canon forward. Marceline and PB are a couple who have sex with Finn as much as he wants in exchange for his assistance defending the Candy Kingdom, and PB’s more emotionally collected about being fucked while Marceline is a beast, which PB enjoys watching fuck Finn.

I miss demolitionism anon. Inject that retard shit right into my veins.

Qrd

more like they dont care about him, and they do what they want.

An anon was making frequent threads about the trend in last minute lesbians that aimed to frame it as a movement called "demolitionism". Like deconstruction, but specifically done to upset people like him at the behest and influence of fans on social media. It was useful in that it took into account social media as a new means for showrunners, writers, and artists in the industry to be directly influenced by fan theories and ships as they develop during the duration of the show, but the main issue was that he felt there was intended and directed destruction of the story with victims in mind.

So a deconstruction picks apart and explores elements of the story, demolitionism is neglecting the story in favor of collapsing it. The reasons may vary, but factors like social media played heavily into it. There was a thinly veiled "I think they're clout chasers who hate men", but the accusation phase was ignored, using the word carried the accusation without directly addressing it until you get demolitionism anon explaining his reasoning.

Fun fact: the abbreviation "NTA" came from those threads.

God I hate gay people

Adding to this, the definition and exploration of the trend and what demolitionism could be left out the mechanics of network television. It acknowledged a writers room with different ideas, but rather than just applying the standard criticism and observation as to how that can effect a show within the confines of network television scheduling and budgeting, how everyone working on AT had the rug pulled out from them when the final season they were promised was reduced to a two part special, he assumed everything was intended and went as plan as if the creative team was given complete freedom and all the resources and time they need and the final episodes we got was exactly what they wanted to give.

Ward personally went out of his way to break standard procedure for getting into animation by hiring these people because he liked their art and was fine with them doing what he did.
I dont think Ward had much ambition when it came to story at all. AT to him was like a sandbox and he liked letting all these people do as they pleased with it.

Pendleton was kicked out of the show by SJW by the end of season 3. S4 is still pretty ok since it was mostly done by then. But S5+ you can see the sharp decline in quality, the number of episodes worth a re-watch drops off sharply

You have autism

What's the source on that?

You fags have been seething over this for an entire decade

They were self-inserting as Finn and when his love interest turned out to be a turbo homo like their irl oneitis it broke them.

Genuinely cannot fathom finding Adventure Time characters attractive, literally what is the appeal?

That's because you are a faggot

I'mma be real I hate this ship and if these girls wanna be gay, so be it, but they should at least fuck finn as well.

It had lasting damages

Pen made the conscious decision himself to step down as show runner because he couldn't handle the stress. There was no grand conspiracy, the dude just didn't have the leadership skills to do the job.

Stress caused by SJW trying to twist a happy fantasy adventure into fetish porn.

Their a notable and rapid shift of all the characters personalities for the worse, starting in S4 and completing in S5.

Also the Zionist influence turning PB into a morally grey dictator but it's ok because that's the only way things can heckin' work just like IRL lol please don't hate Zionism

They were self-inserting as Finn

Nobody does this, you just use that as an excuse to hate a fictional cartoon boy

Other characters got it even worse

Marceline, went form a fun loving Vampire Queen to an emotionless husk. Stakes competently counteracts her original characterization. And her ex boyfriend is a vampire, and according to Stakes Marceline would have to been the one to turn him. Something Stake Marceline would never do under any circumstance. Stakes Marceline would also never joke about turning someone into a Vampire, like she did.

Another seething Finn self insert thread.
