Gotcha!
mxkov13 May 2018
Warning: Spoilers
"Gotcha!" is a win in the Adventure Time books for me. From the brilliant voice of LSP voiced by Pen Ward to the surprisingly sweet ending, these kinds of episodes are what makes me love Adventure Time.

LSP was the obvious star of this episode. This episode was super funny, and it mostly came from the princess's natural personality. While being a mildly selfish jerk (which, by the way, DIDN'T actually annoy me), she goes through probably the most subtle character development so far.

I loved the premise of this episode, but LSP even more. Jake and Finn were their normal selves, which was great, but I think turtle princess was an easy 2nd best character. Her and LSP's friendship, while not developed much yet, seemed really natural and strong in this episode.

Overall, I think that this episode was very smart in how it kept the early Adventure Time simplicity, while putting in very subtle but obvious character development. But...next time, can the music guys make the songs less...creepy?

Oh, and can Turtle Princess and Billy be a ship? #BurtlePrincess

It's not every day you find something this bizarre so appealing

Not to beat a dead horse, but Pendleton Ward as Lumpy Space Princess is one of the show's winning features. She's a teenager (with all of the self-absorption that that entails) and that her voice is anything but feminine just makes her lines ten times funnier. Which is why an episode centered on her is a rare treat.

In order to write a trashy how-to book for attracting men, LSP finagles a job as "adventure secretary" for Finn and Jake. It's fairly straightforward: she goes questing, Finn's forced to save her, and she somehow realizes that it's on the inside that true beauty resides. That's about it. But the fun here is seeing just how pitiful she really is. Like showing up to an interview in a grocery sack dress and fruit pie lipstick. It's sad, but it's also what makes her delusional hotness funny.

7/10
