'Adventure Time' observations: Character depth and the exploration of morality.

I have been a fan of the Cartoon Network cartoon 'Adventure Time' for a few years now and anyone who watches the older episodes as well as the newer ones can probably tell that there has been quite a change in the story-telling style over the years. What used to be fairly surreal and nonsensical narratives that led to no real development from episode to episode has now morphed into complex story-telling, where viewers are drip-fed information about each characters own, often intersecting, past lives. Most new revelations also have an effect on the future of the programme and its characters.

This has allowed for a significant amount of character development and, while there were indeed a few complex characters from the start, it now seems that every single one has a story to tell. What I have also noticed is the underlying exploration of morality throughout the programme as many characters exhibit both 'good' and 'bad' traits and have their own complicated reasons for their actions. This is part of the reason why I think it is such a great show for children (and adults) to watch.

Here are a few of my character observations:
