But somehow, the full-length installment felt even more like a rigorous Mad Lib.Ī TV show about a high-tech submarine comes with certain guarantees, not the least of which is the concession that this vessel will always be in the ocean. "Sons of Mars" wasn't the first Adventure Time on Mars Finn (then named Pen) took a quick trip there in the pilot episode so that President Lincoln could tell him how important it is to believe in himself. In case you were still following along at home. Oh, and at the end, Finn frees a tiny manticore, which is a monster from Persian mythology that is equal parts man, lion, and bat, from his bottle prison. And honestly, we're only including those details so that it's obvious how completely bizarre this episode is. But then he makes a deal with Death to trade his own life for Jake's when the magic dog dies accidentally, so then Death turns Abraham Lincoln (King of Mars) into a statue forever. It seems the King of Mars is none other than America's 16th president, Abraham Lincoln, who is also immortal. It's a good episode, albeit a slightly stranger one than the animated series' usual level.

We weren't super surprised when Adventure Time revealed that its annoying character Magic Man wasn't from around here. It did raise our eyebrows, however, when this fourth-season episode had him sending heroes Finn and Jake to the Red Planet to answer for his crimes.
