We stan Adventure Time. There was no show like it when it came out and there still isn't. You can't convince me otherwise. No children's show can impact its fans the way Adventure Time did. You not only got filled with whimsy, adventure, and love, but also doom, dread, and despair. It was a show that very much encouraged balance—you can't have the good with the bad, you can always learn from your past traumas, you will never stop learning and growing, you are always worthy of love, etc. It had us crying, laughing, and falling in love with every character. If you went even beyond just the original series, then you got to experience even more with Stakes, Distant Lands, and Fiona and Cake.

With the current times feeling like society is in desperate need for a huge shift or we're all doomed, we turn to characters like Finn the Human and Jake the Dog to inspire us. If they can survive and thrive after the Great Mushroom War then we can retain a happy life through whatever mayhem life is dishing to us now. Maybe Adventure Time can do it with a little big more magic, but at least we have the memes!
