SDCC 2023: Fionna and Cake March Toward Max

16 Comments | Adventure Time, fionna and cake, hbo max, max, Warner Bros, wb | By Peter Paltridge | July 20, 2023 | 1 minute of reading

It’s been a long wait, but the Adventure Time spinoff Fionna and Cake is almost done. We’ve been waiting two years since the announcement was first made, but technically the wait started back in 2011 when Ice King showed off his fanfiction of a gender-bent Finn and Jake to his captive penguin audience.

Fionna and Cake never existed in Ooo, but this new show proposes they DO exist somewhere. Also, they may not have started out as adventurers like Finn and Jake did — today’s Comic-Con trailer reveals they’ve been living grounded, mundane lives, working in a big city. That is, until Simon shows up — the former Ice King. How’d he get here? Or is it a different Simon than from the Ooo we know?

Whoever he is, he won’t be alone. WB mentions the series will have “appearances from Marshall Lee, Marceline the Vampire Queen, Princess Bubblegum, and Finn the Human.” But it’ll be Fionna and Cake in the starring role. The voice cast includes Madeleine Martin, Roz Ryan, Tom Kenny, Andrew Rannells, Donald Glover, Kayleigh Mckee, Sean Rohani, and others.

Adventue Time: Fionna and Cake premieres with two episodes August 23, followed by additional episodes weekly.

Bleh!I'm not excited for the Fionna and Cake spinoff. Adventure Time was awesome because of Finn and Jake, and it's weird to think about the show without them. I don't think the new characters can be as good as the originals. The spinoff just doesn't interest me, and I'd rather watch the episodes with Finn and Jake that I really liked. They were the best part of the show, and it won't be the same without them. I'll pass on the Fionna and Cake series and stick to the old ones I love.

I love how they've included appearances from Marshall Lee, Marceline, Princess Bubblegum, and even Finn the Human! But of course, Fionna and Cake will be the stars, and I can't wait to see their journey unfold.

The creators did an excellent job of keeping the Adventure Time ethos alive in the new series. The character designs are true to the original DNA, and the quirky flair we all liked about Adventure Time will be retained.

Honestly, I'm not really feeling the Fionna and Cake spinoff. Adventure Time was all about Finn and Jake's crazy adventures, and they were the characters I grew to love. It's hard for me to get excited about new characters taking over. I think I'll just cherish the memories of Finn and Jake's escapades instead.I can't imagine the show without them, and I'm not sure if Fionna and Cake can live up to their awesomeness.

Fionna & Cake spin-off sounds fantastic! I'm looking forward to seeing Fionna and her talking cat, Cake, partner up with Ice King Simon Petrikov and meet characters like Marshall Lee and Princess Bubblegum. It's going to be a fantastic multiverse journey!

I'm delighted they're looking into parallel universe Finn and Jake. It will be fascinating to see how Fionna and Cake deal with problems in the magical environment.

Fionna is a fearless adventurer, and she and Cake make an excellent team! I'm looking forward to following their path of self-discovery as they face a formidable new foe. Plus, cameos by fan favorites like Marceline and Finn are a plus!

Since the Adventure Time series has been so distinctive and well-liked since 2010, it's wonderful that Fionna & Cake will get their own ten-episode series. I'm eager to accompany them on their search for something enchanted outside their daily lives.

The Fionna & Cake trailer is gorgeous! I'm looking forward to seeing their own multiverse journey. After being introduced in that episode from 2011 that had the genders switched, it's awesome to watch them take front stage now!I adore how, even after the main series concluded, Adventure Time has continued to grow its universe. With an older Fionna, the plot will now be more mature while yet maintaining the endearing charm we all admire.
