Hey everyone, I just finished season 7 of Adventure Time. Interestingly, this season is back to being 26 episodes long, like the first four seasons. I think this season was quite good overall.
- My favourite episodes were the 8-part Stakes mini-series because it was amazing to finally revisit a very nostalgic mini-series I really loved as a kid, and it totally holds up! If I had to choose a favourite part, I would say May I Come In (part 5/8) because Hierophant was my favourite villain.
- My least favourite episode was President Porpoise is Missing because I found it a little bit bizarre and not very interesting to me.
- Bonnie and Neddy was a fairly strong season premiere revealing Bubblegum and the Candy Kingdom's true origin story.
- Varmints was a totally brilliant episode and by far the best in season 7 outside of Stakes, like Sky Witch I loved having an episode focusing on the relationship between Princess Bubblegum and Marceline.
- Football was a surprisingly dark episode but I quite enjoyed it.
- The More You Moe, The Moe you know was a decent episode, interestingly this is the first two-parter where my DVD collection lists it as a single episode in the menu and it plays the two parts on one continuous video, so I was confused about why this episode was lasting so long. Another very interesting fact, albeit one I didn't discover until afterwards, was that the promo art for this episode reveals that the character Moe is a Jewish guy, since we see him lighting a Menora (the candle with seven branches).
- Blank Eyed Girl was a pretty creepy episode with a really weird ending but I kind of enjoyed it.
- Bad Jubies was a fairly nice episode in a very interesting different animation style.
- Scamps was a fairly fun episode showcasing how non-conventional learning techniques can be effective.
- Crossover was quite a convoluted episode but still very enjoyable.
- The Hall of Egress was a brilliant and extremely interesting episode, though confusing in parts, especially Bubblegum's voice saying "At the seashell's center lies the Cornucopia's smallest door." which I don't understand. I feel like this episode is probably meant to have some deep meaning and maybe I just don't get it yet.
- The Thin Yellow Line was a pretty fun episode in its own right, but underwhelming as a season finale. This is the first time since season 1 that the season finale felt like an ordinary episode and not an epic special with a cliffhanger ending that opens the door for interesting new things to happen in the next season. I would have preferred The Hall of Egress as the season finale since it was much more interesting.
That's all for my thoughts on season 7! Totally looking forward to season 8!
