"I remember you"

Just. Brilliant.
Fionna and Cake AT spinoff/multiverse/thing. Great stuff from the Adventure Time team, heavier going than the original with longer episodes and slower multi aspect story but two thirds of the way through the series I'm thoroughly enjoying it. Very very headf*ckery in parts.

@Beany we did watch Gravity Falls too last year thanks for the recommendation. Brilliant stuff.
More multiverses with Fionna and Cake Series 2 even weirder and swearier than S1 but absolutely the most amazingly surreal and inventive stories.

Also recently did a rewatch of Gravity falls was fantastic, the Book of Bill I got for my birthday is certainly and odd side project.

Gravity Falls is fuckin' quality.

Aside, a content creator I follow did an edit of the Stranger Things final battle.

To Wild Wild West by Will Smith - and it works far better than it should. Almost like it was in their head as they did it. Because giant spider in a desert
Alas it's only on their patreon discord so I can't share it - spoiler above is a description of it.

I've not actually watched S5 of Stranger Things, suppose I should sort that out.

Stranger Things

Yeah we’ve waited far too long for this conclusion but just finished episode 4 and can say…

Brilliant… just fuckin’ brilliant

There may be a little too much comic relief in this series and it’s in danger of straying in into Harry Potter’s storyline but it doesn’t matter, it’s brilliant TV

Can’t wait till the 26th for the next episodes
Well I was satisfied with the conclusion
Spoiler
Although I am a big softy and it seemed to have been focus grouped to death
Just watched the finale - Agreed, I think It all ended well enough. There are one or two plot holes left but for a 10 year, 50+ episode series that’s to be expected.

I really loved it
Spoiler
I’ve thought since to the end of series one that El would have to die. And I’m glad they avoided the Hollywood Happy ending.

I found it a bit emotional to be honest but I tear up at the drop of a hat so no real measure :lol:

While they tied up the Henry/Mindflayer/11/Scooby gang storyline they did leave themselves the obvious prequel hook with that cursed stone the guy in the mine had.

I do hope not - the lads who made it are obviously super talented and amazing story tellers. Much and all as I loved this , I'd prefer to see them put their minds to a completely different story, different characters and different worlds
