When you told me Fionna and Cake would get their own series on HBO, I was skeptical. Usually, reboots or spin-offs can crash and burn spectacularly, but after 10 episodes and 5 weeks, I can say that this show is an exemplary light in the dim reality that is modern showrunning. Cheers is an amazing example of the culmination of what makes Fionna and Cake work. The world, the characters, the comedy, and the drama makes the whole experience worth it, even to someone who has not seen the original Adventure Time series. Simon's conflict with moving on after Betty was incredible, and the idea of using two new characters that are seemingly non-important to show how their relationship didn't work was genius, and Fionna choosing to fight for the world she already has after detesting it in the beginning was great character development. I really hope we can get a Season 2, and with the writers guild reaching a compromise, this reality seems more and more possible. All in all, Fionna and Cake is what happens when people with bright ideas and care for the source material work on something for the fans, and it gives me hope that this will set a new standard for not only animation going forward, but the entertainment industry as a whole. I also liked the gays.
