    Hi y'all, I had copyright issues with this review getting claimed and blocked (even my temporary reuploads got hit), but now the original review is back!
    However, after a blocked video is reinstated, the comments made prior to the copyright claim are supposed to return as well; for whatever chaotic reason, that did not happen, and the first ~600 comments this review received have vanished. I'm with YT creator chat support at the moment trying to find out if there's a way to get all those comments recovered (it has not been helpful). It feels like this review got cursed or something, especially since the copyright claim majorly curbed this video's growth potential at a crucial time in regards to algorithmic promotion. 💀
    -Even if it turns out that the early comments got permanently obliterated from existence by GOLB,- I did read (or at least skim) through them all, and I thank you enormously for the outpouring of support.
    *_Edit from the future:_*_ Looks like the deceased comments randomly revived a couple days later?! Tops blooby._
    Guess I may as well link my Patreon in this pinned comment, since I (unfortunately) do require $ to continue to live (even though I derive no pleasure from being alive).
    FYI: I pause my Patreon for months where I don't release videos (it is currently still paused):

      man i dont know if youll read it, im 23 and ive been watching you videos for a few years , i loved it, it really felt like i had someone to see adventure time with, and you always analyzed every thing just right, i just saw it again and i teared up and cried hearing you saying you feel so bad , i relate to what you are saying, why even live its so hard , but i understand that no normal person think like it , your words reminded me what i am doing and why , im studying psychology in college and the reason i wanted it so bad was so i could help others with depression, trauma , and other hard things, im in my second year and i feel like its to hard and there is no point but hearing you just reminded me that we all need help,
      please dont give up on your will to live just yet , there is nothing much i can do for you now but just wait help is coming

      I hope you’re doing better and staying healthy, Elk. I understand completely when it comes to experiencing those heavy emotions, thoughts, and feelings… To put it in the way I think Finn or Jake would say it, they’re bunk as heck. We’re here with you. You aren’t alone.

      I love your content. My son and I really had an experience with Adventure Time. It means a lot to us both, I made him a season 1 golden sword and full sized BMO and he went to a comicon as Finn, long hair and all. He and his friend were blown away that people wanted pictures with him. He has a hard time revisiting the series (I do too) but I lean into the pain of it because it's reflection of something beautiful in/of life.
      I was VERY depressed, trama from watching my father die slowly and painfully at 6 years old, and was positive I would not make it out of my 20's. I would have never been on my greatest adventure. . .my son was born when I was 30. I had become an alcoholic, and had gotten sober shortly before I started my adventure. There will always be problems and stress in life, but now I find I am at peace with it. If you keep taking the next healthy step one day at a time. . .it gets better, fuck perfection or what anyone else is doing/saying. . .just shoot for a little better.
      Best part is, the show was so brilliant, it planted the seed long ago for a very helpful instruction manual for life IRL. . .amazon or a library will have the "Enchiridion". Google it.
      Again, I love your content. And I wish you best and if I could give you a copy right now I would. Cheers

    I believe when Finn said "Its recognizable" at 16:37 I think this was not just a meta joke for the audience. Finn's only goal at that point was to find jake, this means he wants to be recognized by jake if he would see him. This is why I believe he chose this form, because jake died when he was around that age. which is honestly quite sad to think about ._.

    From what I gathered Finn did eventually move on from Jakes death as he did seem to have moved on from his grief of Jakes passing, but I feel deep down he was still in deep mourning of Jake that he made the concious decision to burry in his vault for the rest of his life. Leading to likely many unspoken issues remaining for the rest of his life. This is one of the things I always liked about Adventure Time, it portrays how life progresses in a very realistic way (in adventure time of all places). He had many traumas but he didn't let it stop him from living until end, some problems simply never went away and Finn carried them till the day he died. Also how the story of Finn wasn't based around some predefined destiny, there was no beat the evil emperor and die destiny fulfilled. He just went on random adventures until he finally past, his incarnation as Finn was no more significant in the cosmic sense than any of his other incarnations (the butterfly, Shoko, etc). His life didn't need some grand purpose to be worth living, it just had to be his life. And he is about to start a new one.

    I wouldn't be surprised if Jake simply died of old age. He ages in dog years so it makes sense he'd die sooner, and hallucination jake goes on about how his death feels right. After you grow old enough, going past a certain, it looks an awful lot like you're just living to die, and maybe Jake had the same mentality as that. There's an inevitability in natural death that I feel is more poignant to Finn's reaction than I feel like there would be if Jake merely died whilst on an adventure.

    Angry - standard "sees Tiphany" emotion, almost a Pavlovian response
    Sad - to learn that Tiphany is also dead, and has been for longer than him
    Surprised - to see Tiphany, in general
    Happy - Newly acquired liking, nice to see a familiar face

It’s so interesting to hear you put all those feelings I was feeling watching this episode, into words and exactly describe what even caused those feelings to show up. Especially in the beginning hallucination part, with the slowly growing dread and realization that Jake was dead for realzies

    A lot of us who grieve feel like each day is just another day we draw closer to our lost loved ones. Even if that is true, it weighs heavy on us as we age even if it feels like the load is getting lighter. We simply make space for the grief, it never goes away. Finn had made space for the loss of Jake, but the parasite-drawn memories show that he was simply waiting to see him again, and his unwillingness to let go and let Jake remain in the 50th dead world shows this.

    I'm not the type of person that comments in creator's content (also due to not knowing english very well) but after seeing the end of this video I felt so touched that had to comment. I'm also pretty depressed and it sucks, not being able to do the shores or anything I want feels like being traped inside myself. Your videos about AT made me so Happy, and made me want to re-watch the entire show, because it was one of the first videos I watched that showcased how mature and rich of emotions AT was. I love how passionate you are when speak about it, the way your voice transbord of feelings is contagious, I can't help but to be inspired and contagiated with this mix of complex feelings that fill everybody that watched the show.

    I apologize in advance for a bit of a long, meandering, and somewhat heavy comment, on a kid's show video of all things, but I'm writing it sincerely.
    This year, I lost the person I love most. Within a few months of that loss, I found myself binge-watching Adventure Time, mostly to distract myself.
    I was never expecting it to go this hard on topics like this. I probably would not have started watching if I knew where it would go, though in the end I'm glad I did. Being in an emotionally vulnerable state already, a lot of episodes, but especially this last special, really hit me like a truck. I cried a lot. I'm crying now just thinking about it. The whole episode was hard. In particular, Finn reliving Jake's death was hard to get through. The line "deep down, I just kept waiting for the day I'd finally see you again" felt like it broke me all over again. I was struck, again and again, at how ready this show was to take on heavy themes without flinching and without looking away, and this special really drove that point home harder than any other.
    I watched a lot of your videos, after I finished the series. It was fun seeing first reactions from a diehard fan, especially posted at the time, or theories made in advance, working from incomplete knowledge. They gave insight into what the fandom was like when the episodes aired (something I'd never been a part of) and opened my eyes to a few small touches, early reveals, and foreshadowing I'd never considered. I came looking for new context and re-examination, to help digest a series I'd swallowed almost in one bite, and got a lot more. Your videos are a treat, and deepened my enjoyment of a series I mostly just started to distract myself.
    I was a little disappointed to see you never got around to doing a video for Together Again, the one I most wanted to see your thoughts on. But a few days ago, on a whim, I decided to check your channel again and saw this video had gone up only hours earlier. A funny coincidence, after over a year of absence. And I'm glad to see it.
    I'm sorry to hear you're going through a lot, struggling with depression. Mental and emotional health should never be taken lightly. I wish you all the best getting through everything you're facing. I don't mean this to come off as some parasocial thing -- I just wanted you to know that, even if it was in just a small way, your videos helped me in a time when I was going through the worst. And I'm glad to see you back, even if just for a bit.
    I hope all this turn out okay for you.

    I gotta say, while I loved this special, I also felt compelled sadness. More so for Finn, or rather what happened to his life after Jake passed. While it was sweet that Finn would've been happy to see Jake once he passed on, it was also depressing. Considering the timeline of "Obsidian" and how Finn's memory showed that he was still young, I'd have to guess that Jake probably died maybe a year or 2 at most after the original series finale. And Finn just couldn't have moved on. Almost his whole life, he just couldn't in the best way I can think of: live on after Jake. He seemingly never settled down and have a family of his own ( like in his pillow world illusion ) or even had many friends left at that point.
    Makes me wonder abit. Does this mean that since Finn couldn't live on for other things after Jake died, does this make their relationship on some levels unhealthy or even toxic in a sense?

    • @pankreas2195
      @pankreas2195 2 ปีที่แล้ว +20

      Finn is deeply traumatized and clearly never solved his parental issues so yes he's very much dependent of Jake (father figure) and I'd even venture to say that his urge to be a hero comes from a place of feeling loke he has to prove he's worthy of love

    • @ariesmry
      @ariesmry 2 ปีที่แล้ว +25

      I also wonder tho, if his lack of starting a family is due to him already experiencing it in the pillow world. Seems like Finn would go on to experience new adventures, rather than re-enact one already had. With the exception of Puhoy from the pillow world, none of his love interests (requited or otherwise) were the settling down type.

    Thank you for sharing your art and your thoughts with us. I usually go through all your AT videos after binging the show. It feels like an extension of the show itself that I love so much. You see so many things I don’t even though I’ve watched AT dozens of times.
    My heart is heavy knowing you are struggling now. I hope your pain eases soon. Or rather I hope the emptiness fills so wholesomely. Thank you for being who you are. You are wanted. You are loved. As you are

    I'm glad to see you again, and I'm here until the last video. while you were speaking on death two's nature, I realised that he's kinda a daredevil/rockstar type, and this mentality is pretty centred around life and death, like it's about living life hard and fast, then dying in a blase of glory (or overdose). he lives life intensely, where old death was peaceful and liked zen gardens.

    I just found your reviews and analysis vids for adventure time and I'm obsessed with your perspective and even your voice tone and inflection. I can't wait to watch the rest of your content. The last segment of this video broke my heart. Just know that sometimes just getting through it is the victory. You deserve everything amazing that this life has to offer, and I hope you're able to sail into smoother waters soon. Put you first, and do what you need to do to foster peace and joy for yourself 💙 thank you friend 🙏🏻

    Elk, i love youre videos so much and they have positively affected me greatly many times throughout my life, so I hate to hear where you're at mentally right now.
    i have gone through something similar in the past, and I hope I can offer you some advice if you're willing to consider it:
    The things that most helped me when I was depressed were routine exercise, now you might have heard of this already but it really does work. Even 10 minutes of exercise (like running, lifting, etc.) a day maybe 2-4 times a week can help with depression. especially when going outside.
    another thing that also helped me was meeting and/or spending time as much time with as many people I can. social interaction has almost always made me feel better even as an introvert.
    and the number one thing that was/is most important to get out of a depression was some kind of routine. if you are stuck at home all day be sure to get out at least once every day for a bit of time, just a walk around the street should be enough. be sure to also have a schedule every day as to not let yourself just sit around mindlessly watching youtube/tv. even just a list of goals should be enough.
    I really hope this can help you, even just a little bit, and even if it can't, I really hope you can have good day today.
    you influenced so much over the years and even if I can influence you just a little bit ill be happy so thank you.

  • @OcyTaviAh
    @OcyTaviAh 2 ปีที่แล้ว +2

    I really enjoyed this first part of the review. Life can be hard sometimes, and it’s good to take breaks from things when you need to. I hope things improve for you soon, and that you continue to find reasons to stick around. Something I found helps me when I’m in a low place is creating something physical, that you can touch and hold and experience. It can be as simple as origami or baking a cake, or more complex like constructing a 3D model or knitting something or doing Lego (those things are ridonk difficult these days). The sensation of physically creating something to me is powerful in both the emotional but physical, tactile way. I think it’s important to create things just for myself too, that’s just for me to enjoy. I’m not sure if any of that might help you, but if helps me so it might help someone else. Keep fighting, you’re worth it!
