Adventure Time: The Depressing Movie Trailer

I’m hard pressed to say whether Gritty Reboot’s trailer for Adventure Time is either grittier or sadder than the show has ever been. I mean, we’re talking about a kids cartoon that has an entire episode following a character as she confronts the dementia of her oldest friend. A show that has a high placed official in the government turn a revolutionary’s children into demonic monsters in order to convince him to end his campaign. I mean, okay, it really seemed like they enjoyed being monsters, though.

Instead she stumbled into a great job: founding and running this very website (she's Editor at Large now, very fancy). She's spoken at events like Geek Girl Con, New York Comic Con, and Comic Book City Con, wants to get a Batwoman tattoo and write a graphic novel, and one of her canine teeth is in backwards.
