Adventure Time showrunner explains what that wild Fionna and Cake death means for the lore

The most recent episode of Fionna and Cake, “The Bird in the Clock,” was a fast-paced journey through dreamscapes, culminating in a shocking death with a potentially huge impact on the overall universe. So when I interviewed Adam Muto, the long-time Adventure Time showrunner who now helms Fionna and Cake, I had to ask about the broader implications moving forward. We discussed how the idea for this major plot twist first came about, what it means for the show’s lore, and how this episode compares to some similarly dream-like entries in the original series.
