Good morning to all and welcome to another video
Today I want to talk about Adventure Time with Fionna & Cake
the gender-swapped version
of the Adventure Time that everybody knows and of which I hadn't talk in this video
The Adventure Time with Fionna & Cake AU was born from an idea by Natasha Allegri
The Adventure Time TV Series Character Designer
This AU appears for the first time in the 9th episode of the 3rd series
wich title is "Fionna & Cake"
This episode also has an alternative opening with all the swapped characters
At the end of the episode we discover that it's a fanfiction written by Ice King
The second episode with the swapped protagonists went on air during february in 2013
the title was "Bad Little Boy"
As intuitively the peculiarity of Adventure Time with Fionna & Cake
is that the majority of the characters is gender-swapped
In effect there is, who is crearly Finn's alter ego
and with whom shares most of her way of thinking and appearance
but, as you can see, even if the color scheme is the same for both of them
we have, in reality, the white hat, but with bunny ears
the blue t-shirt, but with three-quarters sleeves
the blue bottom piece that in this case is a skirt
and instead of the shoes with short socks
she has black flats and white otk socks
Intead of Jake there is Cake which is a cat
She has the same color scheme as Jake yellow and white
but in this case they are reversed with more spots
Then there is Prince Gumball who is the male version of Princess Bubblegum
Marshall Lee who is the male version of Marceline
There is also Lumpy Space Prince
Prince Flame and Ice Queen
who is the female version of Ice King
and, in my opinion, unlike Ice King who is a bit pitiable
I don't see him as a stong antagonist
insteas I see Ice Queen as a more evil character
Still speaking about Ice Queen, there are no info about
the penguins: Gunter and the others.
For the complete list of the swapped character I'll leave a link to the wiki in the info box
Speaking about the volume itself, in this case too there is
a main story that goes on in more than one chapter
and a side story at the end
the main story in this volume begins with a legend
told by Cake to Fionna about the origin of the volcanoes
I really would love to let you see how beautiful these images are
I like the AT's art style, but
I think that those drawing are particularly beautiful particularly artistic
After telling the legend, we see some baby Fire Lions
chased by Ice Queen and Fionna and Cake rush to save them
I'll stop here to not spoil too much
The back-up story, instead, is about a sweater thief and the hunting for them
of Fionna, Cake, Marshall Lee and Prince Gumball
I really enjoyed this first volume I liked the fact that they mantained
the nonsense humor typical of Adventure Time
but the story isn't influenced by it too much
and it mantains a little bit of "seriousness"
I like how they characterized Fionna
She isn't a snob nor a invincible super heroine
nor a blondie airhead she is a proper Finn's alter-ego
Finn in a skirt
I also like Ice Queen a great deal, I really feel like she is more evil
than Ice King and I like that a lot
In the USA the series is concluded in 6 volumes and is published by BOOM!Studios
which also publish the "normal" Adventure Time
In Italy it's published by Panini
whit 2 volumes in 1 formula
So I think that here we will have 3 volumes in total instead of 6
In effect to print this volume thay took the main story of the first 2 USA volumes
Here it is the end of the first one and the begin of the second one
There is only the back-up story of the first volume
and this makes me think: "Where is the one from the second volume?"
It's a mistery.
The price is 2,90€ a volume
but at 5€ there is the variant with the plushy cover
Look at how beautiful is the plushy cover wich costs, as said, 5€.
In the end I absolutely recommend it to all the Adventure Time fans
because it's more enjoyable if you know the background
but I think it is enjoyable enough even as a stand-alone comics
So let me know if you bought it or if you are going to
and if you are going to buy the adorable variant whit the plushy cover I love so much
I would love to have all my favourite manga and comics in general with a plushy cover
so that I can stroke it as much as I want
That's all for this video, see you next time!
Bye!
