Adam Muto talks about the franchise's future.
Summary SCREENRANT VIDEO OF THE DAY SCROLL TO CONTINUE WITH CONTENT Adventure Time: Fionna and Cake is the long-awaited spin-off of Cartoon Network's beloved series Adventure Time, with the 2023 Max series expanding on the franchise's universe like never before. The spin-off show follows the titular characters of Fionna and Cake, turning what was originally a single episode with gender-bent characters into a major piece of the Adventure Time puzzle.
Adam Muto: I mean, the biggest challenge is because they were so closely related, kind of figuring out which way to take her, because Finn had a very set arc from being really young and boisterous and bombastic and kind of gradually aging up to where he ended the series. So she didn't have that kind of runway, unless we treated her as exactly the same as Finn.
Adam Muto: I think it sort of helped that [the multiverse] already existed as being in the air and almost too many multiverse things right now. So it was kind of like looking at what we could do differently, and what we could kind of strip away and not try to show every single depiction of the characters because it feels like it's kind of moved in that direction, where it's like, ‘how can I show every single version of the character and include that in the story?’.
So going back to when Adventure Time first made that jump from more episodic storytelling into the lore-heavy serialized stuff. Was there any pushback from Cartoon Network, because around that time, there weren't a lot of animated shows aimed at younger demographics doing these broader stories. Adam Muto: It's kind of both, where you have things in mind, like what are your significant objects and events in the past that you can refer to that feel like - not that every single audience member would know it - but that felt significant enough in the backstory of each character that you could bring it back and it would have some significance.
