But hatchets bury easy in Ooo, and Banana Man is back to help them fix a truck they found in the woods! Like Princess Bubblegum, Banana Man is a science wunderkind with a vast knowledge of Pre-Mushroom War technology, and even gives a great Bill Nye-style explication of a combustion engine that makes fixing a truck sound, dare I say it, fun. The last time we saw Banana Man, he was living by his lonesome, working on a rocket, and trying to borrow some sugar from his neighbors Finn and Jake before they went and wrecked all his properties because Jake was embracing his future death, and Finn wasn’t having any of it. But as I was saying, what Adventure Time does very well is humanizing tropes, whether we’re talking villains like Ice King, or random weirdos like Banana Man. I was looking forward to roomie-sitcom hijinx between 15 year old boy, magic dog, and centuries-old Ice Wizard. Take Ice King for example: he went from a pretty basic, princess-snatching villain (albeit a more realistic and disturbing incarnation than we’re used to), to a tragic figure that’s nigh-central to the mythos, and finally to a temporary roommate who’s never addressed, and I’m pretty sad about that actually. I will never not write out ‘reptilian synthoid replicants.’Īdventure Time is densely populated by side-characters like Banana Man, but they aren’t necessarily throwaways, or single-serving jokes – every now and then, it seems the writers pick a favorable looking one, and turn him from a trope into a character.
Thrown into the blend is an Invasion of the Body Snatchers sendup with Princess Bubblegum and reptile synthoid replicants, and I’m not saying it’s reptilian synthoid replicants. In “We Fixed A Truck,” we saw a relatively minor character, Banana Man, receive major screentime and transform into as loveable a personality as Finn and Jake. Getting organic vegetable oil in Ooo is as easy as 1, 2, hit-up-the-Breakfast-Kingdom, holdem-down, bucket-the-oil.Finn: “Okay! Cool! Informative! What is he pointing at?”.On Monday night’s episode of Adventure Time, “We Fixed A Truck,” Finn, Jake, and BMO find a truck and recruit Banana Man (voiced by Weird Al!) to help them fix it up! Also, Princess Bubblegum is a lizard synthoid replicant – conspiracy theory, or truth-stranger-than-fiction? It’s the eponymous time again!
