Maybe I'm basic, but I love exposition over pretty much all else. I watched the entirety of Adventure Time despite not really being a fan of the humor or the main characters just because I craved more information about the history of Ooo.

Adventure Time's exactly the right show for that addiction. Most episodes aren't moving along some overarching plot, and don't neatly tie off and return to the status quo. They're like - that happened, it was fucked-up, you gotta deal with it. The show hardly goes three consecutive episodes without dipping into mortality salience or outright existential horror. And then what becomes crucially important two seasons later was a cutaway gag with the tiny elephant grandma.

To anyone who hasn't watched the show: there is an episode where the main characters are transformed into a bowl of soup and a runny egg (respectively) when they attempt to stop two wizards from going to Mars so they can kill God. It is titled "You Forgot Your Floaties."

Oh right, the show's breakout character, a screeching narcissistic tyrant.

They were ahead of their time.

Isn't that what Wikipedia is best used for?

[–] shneancy@lemmy.world 2 points 5 months ago (1 children)

Wikipedia is information that's already been interpreted and retold by someone else. Nothing beats going to the source for your info

When it comes to a TV show you don't like but want to know what happens, I would say it does beat it because you won't spend time watching something you don't like.

sometimes the thirst for lore is stronger
