ADVENTURE TIME 5X5 "All the Little People" Full Length Reaction

This episode is the perfect example as to why Adventure Time it's a very special show.... it delves into subjects and situations that very few shows out there dare to tackle, and it does it while also being perfectly understandable and digestable for kids. the subject in this case is of course... what it would be like for a normal human being to "become" a God figure... and even worst than that... how a human TEENAGER would handle being a God figure. This whole situation can also be interpreted as an allegory about addictions and obssessions, how focusing our entire lives into a single task or activity could lead to losing ourselves (kinda like how the Pixar Movie "Soul" tackles that same subject). Also this episode has a lot of sexual innuendos and implications, from Finn projecting himself into his mini-self and his relationships with all the ladies.... to the hand motion he does to communicate with these miniature versions of them. And it does make sense why they had so much of these implications in this specific situation... since Finn is right in the middle of Puberty (he's 14 at this point). Finally i like to point out how at the end of the episode the writters made a parallelism between Finn and Magic Man, since both of them used the phrase "I won't be back", one at the beginning and one at the end. I think the reason for this parallelism might be because Finn experimented how does it feel to be someone like Magic Man, since he is a being with inmense power (he is the younger brother of Glob xdd) who constantly messes with the lives of "lesser beings".... And Magic Man did this little "experiment" on Finn to basically prove that.... in the right circumstances..... anyone can be become the kind of monster that he is. Or at least that's what i think the writters wanted to convey.
