Then you kept the doctor away.

That was my purpose; to destroy the entire medical side of the economy... and vice versa.

The great thing about yahoo answers is that some people were dumb enough to take it seriously.

His face can be taken seriously.

What do you think of Prismo, as a character?
<a href="http://www.watchcartoononline.com/adventure-time-season-5-episode-1-finn-the-humanjake-the-dog">http://www.watchcartoononline.com/adventure-ti me-season-5-episode-1-finn-the-humanjake-the-d og</a>

Prismo was a really interesting character, and honestly, reminds me a bit of high school, as he does possess a few characteristics of a high schooler. His attitude towards a "girlfriend" is very mush like the ordinary adolescent, and how he talks and acts towards Jake and that owl is very high school like.

Prismo captivated my interest and captivated me when he mentioned the story of the monkeys paw, which i have really loved as one of my favorite short stories. I was really touched and pleased that the writers will incorporated such a thing to the show, kinda like an easter egg for the older audience.

Even though he might be small in the story, he really is a well thought out character who does play a huge back-bone to the story of this episode.

I like to hear what you thought of this character.

I found him very relatable, because despite his generosity towards Jake, willingness to play the politically correct game (after his "nasty" comment), and reassuring attitude in the face of grave choices, he has a generally cynical view of traditional relationships. Even though he can't really escape his loneliness fully and must bide his time with friends, he knows a typical romantic relationship would impede his personal liberty in unnecessary ways. Thus, he holds out, hoping to find someone who rejects the norm, as he does.

In a way like the average high school student, but he is more in depth with these relationships and can analyze social situations better then that of the "average" high school student. Some of them just don't really know what is going on around them, and just make things awkward when they don't even realize it, you know? You find very few people like that IRL, and it must be difficult for him to find someone like that....

Lol. Anything new with you lately AJ?

Nop. Been unactive lately due to school :(.

Tell me your very first reaction to this.

The drawing was horrible.

That was the first thing.

The-weaver strives for simplicity.

Or he makes too many pics to finish any of them. I'm not sure which it is.

Procrastination is the artist's biggest bitch to fuck.

If I could reflect on that episode a bit more, I think we'll find that it has a decent amount of information about the show's lore and philosophy. Jake evidently got hit by the idiot ball, but that was just to allow Prismo's character development, so I won't touch on that very strongly. Instead, what deserves more focus is the "Monkey's paw" idea. I don't think it was a mere reference; it seems that the writers really consider the battle between good and evil to be fated. When Finn wishes away the Lich's existence, he interferes with this fate, and instead must face the Destiny Gang, whose name is extremely important. They represent the fact that he must always fight evil in one form or another. As a bonus, Finn's attempts to stop them and save the other humans inadvertently creates the Lich a second time, suggesting fate touched both the death of humanity and the birth of the Lich. The same goes for the emergence of an Ice King, except Finn replaces Simon in this respect. In short, they could only beat the Lich permanently by outwitting him (with Prismo's help), not by cheating him out of existence.

Good analysis. When you make the point with cheating prismo out of his existence, it is like the second wish, where the mother wished for cash, and her son died. In a way this could also be referred to the third wish, when she wishes for her son back. This wish also cheats her son with the idea of existence, but instead of cheating him out of it, she cheats him into it.

I think i can see the parallel from the episode to this story now. The first wish with the money can be closely related to the wish where prismo wishes for the universe to never exist. When the wife wishes for the money, and they have a dead son, it is like they are trapped in a world where they cant do anything, and they don't exactly know what to do. This can be drawn closely with the time when Jake and Finn are in the room, wondering what to do with the remaining two wishes.

Now here is where it gets a bit messed up with the wishes. Instead of where the wish for the son to be alive, Lich is wished to be dead, and everything is messed up in the universe for Finn. Here, a parallel can be drawn in between the son coming to the door, and the messed up universe. These two wishes have outcomes where they are both messed up. The son is imagined to look horrible, and the universe is in a horrible damnation. I think the writers meant to symbolize the outcomes of Finn's universe with the outcomes of the wife's wish to bring the son back.

The third wish can be drawn to a parallel where they both undid the wishes previously made in both stories. Jake wishes for them to be home, and for all this to never have happened, where the father wishes the son to be dead, making sure the second wish had never come to be.

Yea if this IS indeed what the writers of the show advocated to symbolize and subtly reference to a short story, i must say that this is a wonderfully well written episode that is of appealing taste for both the young viewer and the more mature minded audience.
