“Slow Love” is really just a ticking clock to see how long Finn and Jake will take before they’re pushed to their limit, and the final resolution for Snorlock is just pure dumb luck. Without any real feelings at stake, this is just a bunch of encounters with lady snails strung together. Finn’s reluctance to give up on the big slug is, at least, tied back to what we learned in “Memories of Boom Boom Mountain”: he’s still dedicated to helping people, no matter what their issues are.īut apart from this tiny, lingering thread the story’s conflict has no emotional roots whatsoever- a rare problem for AT, even at this stage. He’s just gross, and his brainless horniness comes off as unpleasant rather than cute. The issue here is that Snorlock is neither lovable, like Tree Trunks, nor fun to hate, like the witch from “The Witch’s Garden”. “Slow Love” follows the classic early Adventure Time template: Finn and Jake try to help out a random one-off character with their problems.
Image credit of Cartoon Network/Frederator. Breakdown A big gross slug is no good for home value. Even so, I think “Slow Love” really looks like a step backwards for Season Two. So I’m going into this episode with a biased opinion. Normally, cartoons create enough distance where I can get over my disgust, but “Slow Love” really indulges in the foul nature of slugs and snails. I must admit something to you, dear reader. Also, if you haven’t seen “Slow Love” recently, you can watch it legally here (among many other places, including Hulu and HBO Max) and read about it here. If you’re new to this series, you’ll probably want to read my introduction first. In this episode, Finn and Jake try to help the dopey and hopeless Snorlock find love.
Today we’re talking “Slow Love”, a rather grotesque dalliance with snail romance. A rush of lady snails come to check out Snorlock’s moves.
