Development

Concept

The series follows the adventures of Finn the Human (a boy) and his best friend, Jake, a dog with magical powers to change shape, grow, and shrink at will. Finn and Jake live in the post-apocalyptic Land of Ooo, where they interact with the other major characters: Princess Bubblegum, the Ice King, Marceline the Vampire Queen, Lumpy Space Princess, BMO, and Flame Princess. Common storylines revolve around Finn and Jake discovering strange creatures, dealing with the antagonistic-but-misunderstood Ice King, and battling monsters to help others.^[1] Multi-episode story arcs for this season include Finn and Jake undoing extreme elemental magic which had transformed Ooo into a dystopia while they were away at sea,^[2] and Fern (Finn's grass-based doppelgänger) struggling with his identity and eventually succumbing to evil impulses.^[3]

Production

This season's episodes were originally ordered as part of the series' eighth season. With the release of the seventh season DVD, Cartoon Network began re-arranging the season divisions; the seventh season now consisted of 'Bonnie & Neddy' through 'The Thin Yellow Line'.^[4] 'Broke His Crown' through 'Reboot' (which had originally been ordered as the last episodes of the seventh season)^{[nb 1]} and the episodes from 'Two Swords' through the Islands miniseries (which had originally been ordered as the beginning of the eighth season)^{[nb 2]} were combined to form the series' eighth season.^[9] 'Orb' through 'Three Buckets' (which had originally been ordered as the end of season eight)^{[nb 3]} were then considered by the network to constitute the series' ninth season.^{[nb 4]}

The season's episodes were produced similarly to previous seasons. They began as simple two-to-three-page outlines with necessary plot information.^[11] These outlines were then given to storyboard artists, who expanded the rough outline into a full storyboard.^[12] The episodes' design and coloring were done in Burbank, California, and Rough Draft Korea or Saerom Animation created the animation in South Korea.^[13][14][15] Continuing a tradition which began with the fifth-season episode 'A Glitch Is a Glitch', this season also featured guest animators. 'Ketchup''s animation is by Alex and Lindsay Small-Butera, a husband-and-wife team known for their web series Baman Piderman.^[16][17] The Small-Buteras had previously contributed animation to the eighth-season episode, 'Beyond the Grotto'.^[18]

Drake hottest mixtapes, albums and music, Project E.T. (Esco Terrestrial) (Hosted By. Download 2 Chainz' new mixtape “Daniel Son; Necklace Don,” featuring. Drake mixtape songs.

The season's main storyline writers included Jack Pendarvis, Adam Muto, Ashly Burch, Osborne, and Julia Pott.^[19] According to Pendarvis, after Burch left following the eighth season 'Julia parachuted in at perhaps the most mind-boggling moment in the sweeping arc of the series just totally undaunted, and showed incredible spirit and ingeniousness that encouraged us to press forward.'^[20] Storyboard artists who worked on this season included Adam Muto, Sam Alden, Polly Guo, Seo Kim, Somvilay Xayaphone, Laura Knetzger, Steve Wolfhard, Tom Herpich, Graham Falk, Kent Osborne, Hanna K. Nyström, and Aleks Sennwald.^{[nb 5]}Ghostshrimp, the series' former lead background designer, returned to work on background pieces for 'Abstract', 'Fionna and Cake and Fionna', and 'Whispers'.^{[nb 6]} Ghostshrimp left the show after the fourth season, but returned to draw backgrounds for the seventh-season miniseries Stakes.^[21][22]

Miniseries

A miniseries, Elements, aired during late April 2017 as part of season nine.^[23] It was first announced on March 31, 2017, by Cartoon Network during the unveiling of their 2017–18 program lineup.^[23]Elements follows Finn, Jake, and BMO after they return home to discover that elemental magic has turned Ooo into a dystopia. Finn and Jake join the Ice King (voiced by Tom Kenny), Betty (voiced by Felicia Day), and Lumpy Space Princess (voiced by Pendleton Ward) to set things straight.

Cast

The season's voice actors included Jeremy Shada (Finn the Human), John DiMaggio (Jake the Dog), Tom Kenny (the Ice King), Hynden Walch (Princess Bubblegum), and Olivia Olson (Marceline the Vampire Queen). Ward voiced several minor characters, including Lumpy Space Princess. Former storyboard artist Niki Yang voiced the sentient video-game console BMO in English and Jake's girlfriend, Lady Rainicorn, in Korean.^[24] Polly Lou Livingston, a friend of Pendleton Ward's mother, Bettie Ward, voiced the small elephant Tree Trunks.^[25][26]Jessica DiCicco voiced Flame Princess, Finn's ex-girlfriend and ruler of the Fire Kingdom.^[27] Andy Milonakis voices N.E.P.T.R., a sentient robot who makes (and throws) pies.^[28][29] The Lich, Adventure Time's principal antagonist, was voiced by Ron Perlman in his demonic form^[30] and Ethan Maher in his Sweet P form.^[31] The cast records their lines together (rather than separately) for more natural-sounding dialogue. Hynden Walch described the group sessions as akin to 'doing a play reading—a really, really out-there play.'^[32]

In addition to the regular cast members, episodes have guest voices by individuals from a range of professions, including actors, musicians, and artists. Tom Scharpling reprised his role as Jake's brother, Jermaine, and Thu Tran returned as AMO in 'Orb'.^[33] Felicia Day voiced the Ice King's fiancée, Betty Grof, in the Elements miniseries; in previous episodes, Betty was played by Lena Dunham).^[2][34] Hayden Ezzy voiced Fern, Ethan Maher voiced Sweet P, Ron Lynch returned as Mr. Pig, Lauren Lapkus reprised her role as Patience St. Pim, Dana Snyder voiced the Life-Giving Magus, Cameron Esposito appears as Carroll the cloud woman, storyboard artist Tom Herpich voices Mr. Fox, Jeff Bennett voiced Choose Goose, John Hodgman reprised his role as Elder Plops, Andy Samberg returned to voice Party Pat, and Andrew Daly voiced Wyatt in the miniseries.^[2][35]Andy Merrill reprised his role as James, and Scharpling returned in 'Abstract'.^[36] In 'Ketchup', J. G. Quintel voices an unnamed blue bird.^[37] 'Fionna and Cake and Fionna' saw the return of Madeleine Martin as Fionna and Roz Ryan as Cake. Chelsea Peretti voiced the Queen of Ooo and Charlotte Newhouse voiced a fake Fionna.^[38] In 'Three Buckets', Fred Melamed voices Uncle Gumbald.^[39] Other characters were voiced by Dee Bradley Baker, Maria Bamford, Steve Little, and Melissa Villaseñor.^[24]

Broadcast and reception

Broadcast

Much like the sixth, seventh, and eighth seasons,^[40][41][42] the ninth season of Adventure Time had several episode 'bombs' in which a number of episodes premiered in a relatively-short time. The first string of new episodes (including Elements) aired between January 30 and February 2, 2017.^[43] The second began on July 17, 2017, with 'Abstract', and concluded on July 21 with 'Three Buckets'.^[44]

Ratings

The ninth season premiered on television on April 21, 2017, with 'Orb', although the episode had been released on the Cartoon Network phone app a week earlier.^[45] Seen by 0.71 million viewers, it had a 0.19 Nielsen rating in the 18- to 49-year-old demographic (Nielsen ratings are audience measurement systems for audience size and composition of television programming in the United States; the episode was seen by 0.19 percent of all households aged 18 to 49).^[46] This was a decrease from 'Islands Part 8: The Light Cloud' (the season-eight finale, seen by one million viewers) and the previous season's premiere, 'Broke His Crown' (seen by 1.13 million).^[46][47][48]Elements had a slight uptick in viewers, with each episode watched by just under one million people.^{[49][50][51][52]} However, season 8 was the first season to fail to hit the one-million viewer mark for any episode, which was a dramatic decrease from the often over two-million viewers the show regularly enjoyed up until season 6. The season finale, 'Three Buckets', was watched by 0.85 million viewers and had a 0.23 Nielsen rating in the 18- to 49-year-old demographic (making it the series' lowest-rated season finale).^[53]

Reviews and accolades

The season was praised by critics. Oliver Sava of The A.V. Club reviewed and graded each episode with a letter grade; the Elements miniseries received a B, and the rest of the season received three Bs and three As.^[54][55]

Elements was particularly praised. According to Sava, the miniseries helped return the viewers to the land of Ooo and re-center and reconfigure the characters' central relationships.^[56] Smith said that the miniseries format permitted 'a stronger sense of focus .. with every episode giving the sense that the story is building to a larger conclusion'.^[57]Paste magazine's Zack Blumenfeld praised the miniseries, writing that Elements 'is superior to and more cohesive than both Stakes and Islands, simultaneously a return to Adventure Time's surrealist roots and an emotional step forward'.^[58]

For her work on the episode 'Ketchup', Lindsay Small-Butera won an 'Outstanding Individual Achievement in Animation' Emmy at the 70th Primetime Creative Arts Emmy Awards, making it the show's sixth win in this category.^{[nb 7][60]}

Notes

1. ^In the past, Adam Muto (the series' showrunner) had referred to 'Preboot'/'Reboot' as the collective finale of season seven.^[5] This ordering of the season was illustrated by an image hanging in Muto's office, which listed 'Bonnie & Neddy' through 'Reboot' as part of season seven.^[6]
2. ^The Adventure Time production blog announced in January 2017 that 'Two Swords' and 'Do No Harm' made up the eighth-season premiere,^[7] and Adam Muto confirmed that 'Three Buckets' was envisioned as the season-eight finale before 'the official season divisions [having been] moved around'.^[8] Episodes which aired between them (e.g. 'Two Swords' through the Islands miniseries) were originally considered part of season eight.

4. ^On Cartoon Network's website, 'Orb' is listed as the first episode of season nine and 'The Wild Hunt' is listed as the first episode of season ten (suggesting that the episodes which aired between them now make up the show's ninth season).^[10]

Stakes is an American animated miniseries based on the show Adventure Time by Pendleton Ward. It aired as part of the show's seventh season from November 16, 2015 to November 19, 2015 on Cartoon Network. Adventure Time follows the adventures of Finn (voiced by Jeremy Shada), a human boy, and his best friend and adoptive brother Jake (voiced by John DiMaggio), a dog with magical powers to change shape, grow and shrink at will. In this limited event series, Princess Bubblegum (voiced by Hynden Walch) removes the vampiric essence from Marceline the Vampire Queen (voiced by Olivia Olson), which unleashes five recently resurrected vampires onto Ooo. Marceline, Bubblegum, Finn, Jake, and Peppermint Butler (voiced by Steve Little) are forced to deal with the fallout.

The miniseries' story was developed by series creator Pendleton Ward, showrunnerAdam Muto, head writer Kent Osborne, and staff writer Jack Pendarvis. The eight episodes were storyboarded by Ako Castuera, Jesse Moynihan, Muto, Hanna K. Nyström, Herpich, Steve Wolfhard, Seo Kim, Somvilay Xayaphone, Emily Partridge, and Luke Pearson. Andres Salaff, Elizabeth Ito, and Muto handled supervising direction, and Sandra Lee served as art director. Former Adventure Time storyboard artist Rebecca Sugar returned briefly to the show to voice Marceline's mother and to contribute a song entitled 'Everything Stays'. Stakes was a ratings success, and was met with mostly positive reviews, with Sugar's song in particular being met with critical applause. Conversely, a few commentators felt that the miniseries did not meet expectations. For his work on the Stakes finale, Herpich won a Primetime Emmy Award for Outstanding Individual Achievement in Animation at the 68th Primetime Creative Arts Emmy Awards in 2016. Stakes was released on DVD on January 19, 2016.

Plot[edit]

Marceline the Vampire Queen (voiced by Olivia Olson) approaches Princess Bubblegum (voiced by Hynden Walch) and asks her to cure her of her vampirism, as she no longer wants to be immortal. Bubblegum agrees to perform an experimental procedure which extracts the vampiric essence from Marceline's body, but is unsure of whether it has worked or not. As Marceline recovers, the extracted essence gains a mind of its own and escapes. Meanwhile, Finn (voiced by Jeremy Shada) and Jake (voiced by John DiMaggio) are called out to investigate livestock being attacked by a bloodsucking creature. Suspecting Marceline, Finn and Jake confront of her, only to discover the extracted essence has transformed into the vampire attacking the livestock. However, as Finn and Jake chase the vampire, a mob of angry villagers capture Marceline and leave her to be destroyed by the rising sun. As the light engulfs her body, Marceline begins reliving memories of her past. As a child, she's comforted by a lullaby sung by her mother (voiced by Rebecca Sugar), entitled 'Everything Stays.' She witnesses Simon leaving her to protect her from himself. As a teenager, she hunts vampires and discovers she can absorb their powers. Later she befriends a tribe of Hyoomans, who are constructing a boat to escape the continent and avoid an impending catastrophe they fear will happen. Marceline helps fight off more vampires, and tells the Hyoomans to flee when the Vampire King arrives. Back in the present, everybody is shocked when they see that the sunlight doesn't kill Marceline, meaning that she has been cured of her vampirism. Meanwhile, Jake encounters the vampires Marceline had previously killed, now resurrected from Marceline's freed vampiric essence.

The vampires include: the Fool (voiced by Ron Funches), the Empress Eyes (voiced by Rebecca Romijn), the Hierophant (voiced by Paul Williams), the Moon (voiced by Beau Billingslea), and the Vampire King himself (voiced by Billy Brown). The vampires are surprised that they are alive again, but quickly disagree on what to do next and go off on their separate ways. Witnessing this, Jake warns Finn and Marceline. Upon realizing the Vampire King is alive again, Marceline flashes back to her previous battle with him. In order to preserve the vampire race, the Vampire King sacrificed himself to bite Marceline, making her the last vampire. Marceline manages to track down and confront the resurrected Vampire King, killing the Fool and reabsorbing his power of flight. However, before she can battle the still weak Vampire King, he warns her that the Empress is headed for the Ice Kingdom. Fearing for the safety of the Ice King (voiced by Tom Kenny), Marceline gives chase. The Empress arrives at the Ice Kingdom and uses her powers to hypnotize the Ice King, ordering him to bring her the blood of Finn. Marceline attempts to attack the Empress right as the Ice King returns with a captured Finn. Finn escapes, and the Empress orders Ice King to capture them. In an attempt to jog the Ice King's memory, Marceline tells him that she was motivated to start hunting vampires when she killed one trying to attack a human family. However, it's revealed that the Ice King was never hypnotized by the Empress, but merely acting as he always does around women. Marceline then attacks the Empress, but the Empress quickly gains the upper hand until she is paralyzed by a special gun Bubblegum developed. Marceline kills the Empress and reabsorbs her power of invisibility. She then apologizes to her friends for trying to fight the vampires alone and tells them they will hunt the remaining vampires together.

While on the trail of the vampire known as The Moon, they then run into trouble when the shape-shifting vampire Hierophant tracks them and finds them. The group attempts to fight him, but he proves to be too powerful. When notified by Peppermint Butler (voiced by Steve Little) that the Hierophant cannot enter houses without permission, Jake shapeshifts into a house and the group takes shelter inside. The Hierophant then tells Marceline that he didn't come to fight, but to propose an alliance to take down the Vampire King together. Marceline agrees only on the condition that the Hierophant no longer drinks blood, but he attacks her instead. During the struggle, he is accidentally knocked into Jake and dies due to entering a house uninvited. Marceline reabsorbs his shapeshifting powers but then falls ill, having been stung and poisoned by the Hierophant's stinger. Princess Bubblegum takes Marceline to the Candy Kingdom to try to find a cure for the Hierophant's poison. Meanwhile, Finn and Jake track down the Moon in hopes of using her healing power to heal Marceline. Upon finding the Moon, they find that due to her healing powers, they can't kill her with their stakes. When the sun sets, the Moon wakes up and Finn and Jake flee, luring the Moon to the Candy Kingdom. However, when they try to fight back, the Moon uses her powers to incapacitate Finn and Jake as she attempts to kill Marceline. Fortunately, Peppermint Butler stabs the Moon in the back, her only weak spot. Marceline reabsorbs the Moon's healing power and fully recovers from the poison.

Marceline and the group prepare for their final confrontation with the Vampire King. However, they are surprised when he appears before them and openly declares that he no longer wishes to be a vampire. Marceline believes this to be a ruse, and she attacks him. Maintaining that his will is good, he refuses to engage, and so the group reluctantly agrees to remove the King's vampiric essence. Bubblegum places the Vampire King in the same contraption that she used on Marceline, which causes him to turn into a relatively harmless lion. The vampiric essence, on the other hand, is placed into a bucket. Bubblegum tasks Peppermint Butler with properly disposing of the essence, but he accidentally trips, which causes the most heinous fluid to detonate and form into a new monstrosity: The Dark Cloud. This looming essence begins ambling towards the Candy Kingdom, causing Finn, Jake, and Bubblegum to go on the offensive. Marceline, however, loses the will to fight, and she openly laments the futility of resistance. But when she is at her emotional nadir, the Ice King arrives. He briefly talks to Marceline and instills in her a sense of purpose; at the moment, she realizes that it is her destiny to stop the Dark Cloud. At the same time, the Candy Kingdom's ruler, King of Ooo (voiced by Andy Daly) is overthrown by his citizens, who then head out to defend their kingdom from the Dark Cloud. Other Kingdoms across Ooo, such as Flame Princess's Fire Kingdom, also join the campaign; however, their efforts are not enough to defeat the Cloud. When all seems lost, Marceline finally arrives and uses her demonic soul-sucking abilities to drain the Dark Cloud's from the inside out. However, she does so at the cost of once more becoming the Vampire Queen. Once the incident is over, Marceline comes to terms with her vampiric nature, telling Bubblegum that her time as a mortal has made her more mature. The miniseries concludes with Marceline singing a rendition of 'Everything Stays'; as she sings, the audience is presented with short sequences of Ooo returning to normalcy.

Production[edit]

Stakes was announced in February 2015 alongside news of Long Live the Royals, a separate miniseries created by Sean Szeles, at an upfront regarding Cartoon Network's programming for the 2015 to 2016 television season.^[1] Writing for Cartoon Brew, Amid Amidi speculated that both were commissioned following the success of Over the Garden Wall, the network's first miniseries created by Patrick McHale (a former writer for Adventure Time).^[2] Michael Ouweleen, the chief marketing officer of the network, later said that 'miniseries provide the network with more opportunities to try different creative textures and give new properties a chance to get on air.'^[3] Despite being touted by some outlets as a 'spin-off',^[4]Adventure TimeshowrunnerAdam Muto later clarified that Stakes was considered part of the series' seventh season.^[5]

At the 2015 New York Comic Con, Muto revealed that the miniseries originated with ideas that were initially developed during the show's second season. He remarked, 'There was this idea from season two about Marceline and .. how she got her powers to begin with. We kind of rolled with that and expanded that into eight episodes.'^[6] Olson was not aware that the producers and writers were working on a Marceline-centric miniseries until the series' head writer, Kent Osborne, casually mentioned it to her in a conversation; when she learned of this, she reportedly cried because she was so excited.^[6][7] Due to the Marceline-centric nature of the miniseries, a new opening was created that features Olson singing the theme song over a bass guitar.^[8] This intro was storyboarded by Tom Herpich and was animated by Masaaki Yuasa's company Science SARU.^[9][10][10]

The miniseries' story was developed by head writer Kent Osborne, series creator Pendleton Ward, Jack Pendarvis, and Muto. The eight episodes were storyboarded by Ako Castuera, Jesse Moynihan, Muto, Hanna K. Nyström, Herpich, Steve Wolfhard, Seo Kim, Somvilay Xayaphone, Emily Partridge, and Luke Pearson. Andres Salaff, Elizabeth Ito, and Muto served as the miniseries' supervising directors, and Sandra Lee served as art director.^{[nb 1]} Notably, the miniseries saw the return of several artists who had previously left the series, like Castuera (a storyboard artist who had left the series after working on the fifth season finale 'Billy's Bucket List'), and Rebecca Sugar (a storyboard artist and songwriter, who had left the series after working on the fifth-season episode 'Simon & Marcy').^[11][12][13] Castuera storyboarded the first, sixth, and seventh parts of Stakes alongside Moynihan, and Sugar wrote a new song for the miniseries entitled 'Everything Stays' and voiced Marceline's mother.^[14][15][16]

In regards to the miniseries' cynosural song 'Everything Stays', Nyström revealed that, during the storyboarding of the episode of the same name, she found herself unable to write a lullaby for the scene between Marceline and her mother. She relayed her issue to Muto, who contacted Sugar and asked if she would be willing to pen the song. Sugar agreed and based the song on an incident in which she lost a stuffed animal in a garden. A year later, she found it; the sun had bleached the exposed surfaces, but the underside was still the same. She explained, '[The stuffed animal] wasn’t better, or worse, just different. It was the first time I realized that things will change no matter what, even if they’re left alone, and stay completely still.'^[17] Muto was excited to have Sugar return to work on the show, and noted at the 2015 Adventure TimeSan Diego Comic-Con International panel that 'because [Stakes] was a Marceline miniseries, it wouldn't really feel complete unless Rebecca Sugar wrote a song for it.'^[18] At San Diego Comic-Con, Sugar and Olson performed the song live.^[18]

Ghostshrimp, a background artist who worked on the series during seasons one through four, also returned to draw around 70 background pieces for this miniseries.^[19][20][21] Ghostshrimp, who had left the series during the middle of season four, noted: 'I was super pumped that they wanted me to work on it, [and] it was great to return to that world for another go around.'^[22]

Cast[edit]

The miniseries features vocal performances courtesy of the show's regular crew: Jeremy Shada (who voices Finn the Human), John DiMaggio (who portrays Jake the Dog), Olivia Olson (who portrays Marceline), Tom Kenny (who lends his voice to the Ice King), Hynden Walch (who voices Princess Bubblegum), Steve Little (who plays Peppermint Butler), and Pendleton Ward (who voices Lumpy Space Princess).^[23] The Adventure Time cast records their lines together as opposed to doing it individually. This is to capture more natural sounding dialogue among the characters. Hynden Walch has described these group session as akin to 'doing a play reading—a really, really out there play.'^[24]

The miniseries also features several guest actors lending their voices to various characters. Sugar, in addition to her role as songwriter, was also brought on board to voice Marceline's mother; this role marks her first foray into voice acting.^[8] Other guest stars include Rebecca Romijn as Empress Eyes, Billy Brown as the Vampire King, Paul Williams as the Hierophant, Ron Funches as the Fool, Beau Billingslea as the Moon, Kyle Kinane as Cloud Dance, and Ava Acres as Young Marceline and the rabbit-hatted child.^[25][26][27]

Release and reception[edit]

Broadcast[edit]

Although several sources suggested that the miniseries would air in October 2015,^[14][28] the miniseries instead debuted on Cartoon Network on November 16, 2015.^[8][29] An exclusive sneak peek was screened at the New York Comic Con on October 9.^[28] The first two episodes of Stakes debuted on November 16, and, following this, two episodes aired every day for three days. On November 20, the entirety of the miniseries re-aired.^[30] On January 18, 2016, preceding the miniseries' January 19, 2016 DVD release in the United States, Cartoon Network aired Stakes as an 88-minute standalone movie.^[31]

The miniseries made its international debut on Cartoon Network in Australia and New Zealand on January 18, and concluded airing on January 21, 2016.^[32] Stakes premiered on Cartoon Network UK and Ireland on March 14, 2016, and concluded on March 17, 2016.^[33]

Ratings[edit]

According to a Cartoon Network press release distributed prior to Stakes being available on DVD, the miniseries was a 'success' for the network, 'ranking as the #1 program in its time period with all key kids and boys audiences.'^[34] The premiere episodes, 'Marceline the Vampire Queen'/'Everything Stays', were collectively watched by 1.87 million viewers and they both scored a 0.45 in the 18- to 49-year-old demographic according to Nielsen (Nielsen ratings are audience measurement systems that determine the audience size and composition of television programming in the United States); this means that 0.45 percent of all households with viewers aged 18 to 49 years old were watching television at the time of the episodes' airing.^[35][36] This made the two episodes the most-watched installments of the series, in terms of viewers, since the sixth season episode 'The Diary', which was viewed by 1.91 million viewers.^[37] The miniseries' final two episodes, 'Checkmate'/'The Dark Cloud', were collectively viewed by 1.7 million viewers, and they both scored a 0.4 in the 18- to 49-year-old demographic.^[38]

Critical reception[edit]

Stakes was met with mostly positive reviews, although a few commentators felt that the miniseries did not meet expectations. Charlie Jane Anders of io9 applauded the miniseries, noting that it is an interesting meditation on the concept of change, as well as the on philosophical idea that everything is cyclical. In regards to the art and direction of the miniseries, Anders wrote: 'There is so much insane gorgeous imagery in this [miniseries], including a ton of really fantastic dream sequences. This show is really pushing its limits in terms of pure visual artistry.'^[39] Anders noted that, while some fans of the show have been suffering from 'Adventure Time fatigue'—largely based on the belief that the show has not moved forward since Finn met his father—Stakes 'really feels like a rejoinder to the people who complain the show isn’t moving fast enough with its plots'.^[39] Writing for Vox, Todd VanDerWerff wrote highly of the miniseries, arguing that it was an excellent example of the coming-of-age story that 'shows off the kids series' emotional maturity'.^[40] He did note that the miniseries is 'less a cohesive whole than a bunch of short stories that feel as if they accidentally add up to something bigger', and that the need for every installment to exist as a self-contained unit made Stakes 'a little clunky'.^[40] With that being said, he felt that it ended up being 'suitably epic' and 'rich with metaphor'.^[40] Ultimately, VanDerWerff felt that the moral message of the miniseries was: 'Change is good. Growth is good. Supporting others' growth is good. And accepting others when they need to change is the best thing you can do.'^[40]

Heather Hogan of Autostraddle lauded the miniseries for 'color[ing] in some of Marceline's past, answer[ing] lots of questions about her relationship with Bonnie, and promis[ing] her a richer future.'^[41] She argued that the miniseries as a whole was a commentary on depression, and that at the conclusion of Stakes, while Marceline had not vanquished depression, 'fighting it helped her grow.'^[41] Brandon Russell of TechnoBuffalo wrote, 'The miniseries does an excellent job of exploring themes of depression, change, and forgiveness.'^[42] Russell praised the miniseries for showing Marceline's emotional transformation, noting that Marceline's momentary depression in 'The Dark Cloud' at the futility of her plight is 'a reminder that, although change is hard, it's necessary for growth.'^[42] However, Russell critiqued the fact that, due to the individual episodes' lengths, some of the miniseries' more poignant material was not explored to its full extent.^[42]

Oliver Sava of The A.V. Club awarded the miniseries a 'B', noting that the event 'loses steam when it moves away from the introspective personal elements of the past to detail Marceline and her friends' vampire hunting adventure in the present.'^[43] He also bemoaned the fact that only 'Everything Stays' features flashbacks, arguing that 'rushing through those past events is a missed opportunity to offer a more comprehensive look at where Marceline comes from and how those circumstances have shaped her'.^[43] With that being said, Sava was highly complimentary towards the voice acting, with praise being directed towards Olson and the actors who voice the villains; Sava wrote, 'The new characters' personalities are quickly solidified by the guest stars' expressive performances.'^[43] Eric Thurm of Pitchfork Media opined that Stakes 'includes all sorts of cool action sequences and, best of all, it focuses on the backstory of the show's most musical character: Marceline [..] But Stakes, as fun as it is, ultimately fails to fully deliver, mostly because of a lack of, um, stakes.'^[44]

Sugar's 'Everything Stays' was met with critical praise. VanDerWerff described it as 'beautiful'.^[40] Russell argued that it is 'arguably the most beautiful and poignant song in the Adventure Time canon.'^[42] Sava called it 'poignant', noting that 'Olson brings a mournful quality to the song when Marceline reprises it later, and the combination of her somber vocals with Sugar's delicate songwriting gives the song a quiet power that highlights the importance of this melody in Marceline's story.'^[43] Likewise, Thurm called it the 'most exciting moment' in the miniseries and that the song 'is pretty much a perfect Adventure Time song. It's quiet, beautiful, and heartfelt—a lullaby for children at heart, no matter their age.'^[44]

Accolades[edit]

For his work on 'The Dark Cloud', Tom Herpich won a Primetime Emmy Award for Outstanding Individual Achievement in Animation at the 68th Primetime Creative Arts Emmy Awards in 2016,^[45] making it the series's fourth win in this category.^{[46][nb 2]}
