Live-Action Adventure Time Short Plays up the Darkness
 |
Although this short is characterized as a “griity reboot,” it’s really no grittier than the actual Adventure Time can get, save maybe for the ending – at this point, does anybody not know the show is set after a nuclear apocalypse of some sort?
Making it live-action may be beside the point, too – you have to have a ton of digital enhancement to create most of the characters and landscapes. But if you just think of it as more of an Adventure Time tribute, it works just fine regardless of context, and I really like the way they pulled off Jake.
