Perhaps AT’s creative team tired of the whimsical, relaxed pace of the show’s earlier days. Why the show has made this switch is anyone’s guess. Its newest tool in the utility belt is the eight-episode story arc, first used in 2015’s Stakes and then in January’s Islands before reappearing here. By the end of its new Elements miniseries, the show will have aired 261 11-minute episodes-by far the most ever for any Cartoon Network original series-and yet Pendleton Ward’s creation is still fleshing out the troubled history of Ooo in fresh ways. The great luxury of Adventure Time’s post-post-apocalyptic universe is the seemingly endless capacity of its mythos to develop.
