一篇与Adventure Time监制Adam Muto的采访，采访于最终集Come Along With Me上映前一小时。（我翻译功底比较差，如果翻译有误请立马指出，我不希望我错误地传达Adam的想法。）
How did you envision ending the series? Does this episode fit into that original plan?
你曾经是想如何完结AT？最终集和原来计划的一样吗？
Adam Muto, executive producer: If [Adventure Time] ended after season five, it would have had a very different ending. We didn’t have a definite, “This is the exact story that’s going to be in the end.” We had images from the finale in our heads, and that was as much as you could kind of plan in advance. That last image with Finn and Jake, I had an idea of what that would mean to me.
假如AT在第五季终完结了，结局将会很不一样。我们并不曾明确有一个“结局具体会是这样的”的想法。我们脑中有一些最终章的片段，这些片段是我们能够提前计划的。Finn和Jake最后的景象，我知道这对我意味着什么。
最终集播出前一周Adam Muto的办公室The story itself, I think, definitely — maybe season eight, [we] kind of figured out what the shape of the finale would be. Until they told us, “This is definitely the end,” you almost couldn’t commit to what the story would be.
我想最终章大体的剧情在第八季的时候已经在我们心中有个明确的形象了。直到他们（Cartoon Network）告诉我们“这就是结局的样子”之前，谁也不能保证最终的剧情会是什么样的。
Adventure Time has gone to dark places before, but this ending feels like a happy one. Does that feel earned and appropriate?
AT也曾有过黑暗的剧情，但是结局令人感觉是美好的。你觉得这是必要的或者是合适的吗？
I don’t even know how happy it is, to be honest. The future version of Ooo is not that cheery of a place. You get the sense that another apocalypse has sort of happened in the meantime. That was kind of something the show was built on, too. Obviously Shermy [who appears in the episode bookends set further ahead in time] has got Finn-like qualities, and these analogies could exist.
老实说，我并不认为这个结局是有多快乐的。Ooo的未来并不是阳光的，你有种感觉也许另一个末日也会发生。整个剧集某种意义上也是建立在这感觉上的。很明显Shermy有着和Finn很类似的品质，有着这类品质的人总是会存在的。
The show kind of came out of a conflict — we kept alluding to . We were never really gonna show that in the life of the show. [But] it made sense to have a conflict like that at the end, or at least be the backdrop. The idea of having all of characters running at each other and fighting isn’t really the spirit of the show.
我们一直在剧中暗示蘑菇云战争，AT的故事某种程度上是从那开始的。我们从来没有描绘蘑菇云战争真正的景象，但是把它做成故事的背景是很合理的。让所有角色互相争斗并不是AT想展现的。
In the end, that conflict is diffused. [There are] so many stories that kind of end with the last stand of a world. I think it is the end, but it just keeps going, and people just keep living their lives.
在最后，冲突消散了。有许多许多类似的故事在世界差点毁灭后结束了。我想就应该在这里结束，不过它会继续下去，角色们会继续过着他们的日子。
What surprised you about where Adventure Time ended up from where it started — from something lighthearted to a more serious show?
当你发现AT从一个轻松的剧集变得越来越严肃，在这么完结后你会感到惊讶吗？
I don’t know if it was core, but it felt natural. Even at the beginning — especially [series creator Pendleton Ward] and Pat McHale — we talked about it being serialized.
我不知道这是不是很重要，但是剧情的发展其实感觉很自然。甚至在AT开始播出之前我就和Pendleton Ward（导演）和Pat McHale讨论过这些。
The continuity is sort of a light continuity, and it sort of gains momentum throughout the show. I’m surprised that we got to that point, because that’s not where [Cartoon Network] wanted us to get to. It just kind of gained momentum.
AT剧情的连续性并不是很强，随着播出剧情慢慢有了某种惯性。我确实感到惊讶，是因为这并不是Cartoon Network当初想要我们做出的，剧情只是一直顺着势头发展。
By the end the show — it’s hard to put myself outside of it — I can’t be too surprised, but it also didn’t feel like out of left-field. It felt like a very gradual process. It would be interesting to see what the season one finale would be.
完结的时候我很难做到从外人的角度来看这个结尾，我不能表现的很惊讶，但同时它并不让人感到突兀。整个剧集是一个很循序渐进的过程，我觉得会很有趣如果看到AT结局的在第一季结束。
There’s also a tendency to get nostalgic, even within the show. People’s memories of the show aren’t even necessarily how it played out. It was never as blithe as people think it was. It had very bright moments and very introspective moments of people getting down. Those get more complex over time, because [Finn] grew up.
AT做到这一步人们也有一种怀旧感，甚至剧中本身就有这种感觉。人们对于剧情的记忆并不一定是那么准确的，AT从来不是人们认为的那样欢乐。它有过十分欢快的时刻也有非常引人深思的沮丧的时刻。这些事情越来越复杂，因为Finn长大了。
Are there pieces of lore that remain unresolved?
还有什么仍有悬念的事情没有讲述吗？
I think it’s important to leave spaces to imagine, leaving those kind of ambiguous spaces. Not that we don’t have an idea of what happens with certain characters afterwards. There were larger questions, I think, and those are the ones, when they’re set up and baked into the show, you have some responsibility to address. What happened to every single character throughout their lives is not. Seeing everyone’s lives from their birth to their death like an appendix, I don’t think that’s the story.
我觉得留下想象的空间是重要的，留下一些模棱两可的事情。并不是因为我们对于某些角色之后会发生什么毫无想法。只有那些更大的问题是我们觉得是有必要在最终集阐释清楚的。每一个角色一生里发生的所有事情并不是需要我们展现的。将每个角色从生到死讲述一遍更像是一本书的附录，而不是一个故事。
Will Simon ever be cured? That was an important one to address. Beyond that, there were so many where it’s not necessarily important — where do Finn and Jake end up? What happens to them? How old do they get? Who do they marry? It’s important to focus on this section.
Simon最终能被治好吗？这是件很重要并且需要解决的事。除此之外，有许多不那么重要的，比如——Finn和Jake的未来怎么样了，以后发生了什么，他们最后活到了多少岁，他们和谁结婚了。制作结尾很重要的是你得只专注在几件事上。
This was Finn’s childhood and on the cusp of becoming a good adult. Hopefully he’s a learned a lot and become a more complete person. He doesn’t even have a sword through most of the finale at all. The idea of him putting down a weapon as the way to resolve a larger conflict ... this won’t help in the situation. I think that was an important thing, not trying to show that.
Finn从一开始的孩子到如今处在即将变成大人的转折点上。但愿他学到了很多并且变成了一个更完整的人。在最终集他从头到尾都没有拿剑。他放下武器解决了这场更大的冲突……武器并不会改善这类冲突，我觉得这是很重要的一点。
That’s also why The Lich didn’t come back as a villain. His story felt like it was over. if he came back again, it would feel like Skeletor — this evil that had to be defeated over and over again. If you can always defeat something and the day will be saved, it’s not as satisfying as something you can’t defeat — this thing that you can’t actually deal with in a direct way.
这也是Lich再也没有回来作恶的原因。他的故事已经结束了，如果他又卷土重来，那会感觉像是Skeletor，一个必须被一次又一次的打败的恶人。你总能击败某些事物并且拯救他人，如果某些事物永远不会被打败，那感觉就没那么好了。
Marceline and Princess Bubblegum’s relationship was one of the most meaningful parts of the show, in terms of representation. What does the positive reaction to their pairing mean to you, and how did it influence their beautiful ending?
Marceline和Princess Bubblegum的关系——从这个关系所代表的角度来看——是AT里非常有意义的一部分。她们这一对所获得观众的正面的反应对你们来说意味着什么？ 而观众的这些反应是否与她们美好的结局有关？
It felt like that was another question. It is set up enough by now that it needs a conclusion to feel satisfying. We can’t say what their life will be like from then on forever, but we can show where their relationship is now as opposed to where it was a couple years ago. Marceline is the adolescent forever, and Princess Bubblegum is the workaholic who doesn’t have anything outside of that.
我觉得这是另一个问题。剧情发展到现在需要一个令人满意的结局。我们（制作组）不能说她们的关系就会永远保持这样，但我们可以展现她们的关系已经和几年前完全不一样了。Marceline永远是一个青少年，而Princess Bubblegum是一个工作狂，除了工作她什么都不想要。
Being on Cartoon Network, , I do think that we felt like we could do more than we could have back then. Rebecca [Sugar, who created Steven Universe,] really did so much of the heavy lifting that I feel weird even talking about that too much.
在Cartoon Network还有像Steven Universe一样的其他动画作品，我觉得现在我们能做的比以前更多了。Rebecca（Steven Universe的创作者）做了非常多的工作以至于使我感觉很奇怪让我来说这么多（有关AT的事情）。
It was something that is important. When it showed up in the storyboards, it made sense. You just have to do it enough so that it’s not a new story, and then it will just be something that happens. Hopefully it’s not important in that way. Hopefully it’s not something that we even need to comment on, even.
当剧情出现在故事板上，很重要一点的是它们显得合理。你只要保证你在做得不是什么全新的故事，那这些剧情就会自然而然的出现。但愿它（Macy和PB的剧情）这么来看显得不那么重要。但愿它甚至不需要我们（制作组）来作出评论。

P.S. 原文最后有一段关于CalArt Style，我对其了解甚少懒得翻译了。
最后一季拖到现在才看，看起来是HE但仔细想想挺伤心的
左上角太空香蕉人的照片，King of Ooo的雕像，右边Glob的头部，左下角是给James Baxter找的一堆沙滩球，中间那两条长黄色条状物是LSP头上的星星和Lemongrab的佩剑，右上角和BMO头上是公主们的王冠和有一集Finn和Jake比赛不说话时Jake写的字条 "Last night when I saw you writing yours"（哭死我了）下面中间是之前树屋被毁时一同坏了的钟表和Gunter变成IK之后一起出现的架子鼓，上面写着No.1 BABE(已经破了)，
就是这个钟表（涙）
这套架子鼓
Simon的眼镜和Jake的小提琴
Sweet P和Peps给Finn打造的魔法剑
BMO的小滑板可能有的细节没发现，这么看看更伤心了。永生的BMO只能靠朋友的物件存下来的记忆也在慢慢消退，哭死
2015--2020.5.7
终于看完了AT 爷的青春结束了
这部以两个吻一首歌结束的日常嗑药动画将永远是我心中的传奇神作 不接受反驳的那种！
最爱的小单元是vampire hunter篇
最爱的日常集是我MPB的独处日常
MC化的大家都好可爱最爱的cp是千年组MPB
MPB大旗永不倒最爱的歌是Marcy唱的everything stays
这个生于战火之中历经千年沧桑依旧拿着自己心爱的bass唱甜甜的歌的punk girl真是太酷了
同样生于战火为candy kingdom操心了千年身处魔法世界却坚信科学的粉切黑sugar girl PB的设定真是glob damn charming
这部充满了嗑药脑洞，有着庞大世界观的所谓儿童向动画里面有哲学、音乐、人性、艺术、暗黑、抽风、爱、恨、痴、狂等你能想象的所有drama元素 神奇的是所有欢乐和成长中都透着一股子不可名状的孤独 更神奇的是主创又在这种孤独里告诉你要热爱这个世界尽管它充满了混乱
致敬龙猫这张好可爱最终章come along with me这一集就像看了一部电影：MPB的世纪之吻 Simon回归了 Betty却迷失了自我 Finn依旧断臂而且长高了 Jake 依旧是小可爱 千年之后只剩BMO守着旧物和回忆成为了king of Ooo且几乎想不起Finn的名字 新人物又开始了探险 一切又在the land of Ooo轮回 只不过我深爱的他们不在了而已…
看的时候发出了finn式尖叫立个flag 我要集齐所有的AT周边人偶 让他们永远的活在我的世界里
超级喜欢这一幕最后用最终章里的歌词来结尾吧
♪ Time is an illusion
That help things make sense
So we are always living in the present tense
It seems unforgiving when a good things ends
But you and I will always be back then
Singing will happen happening happened
And we'll happen again and again
Cause you and I will always be back then ♪
I will always be back
我永远爱AT经典之所以会成为经典，正是因为他们会完结，会离别。一如最终话里独居山顶的BMO对千年前的往事的追忆，就算他已经记不清Finn的名字，他依然知道Finn曾是Ooo大陆上最棒的英雄，是他最好的朋友。《夏目友人帐》中，若干年以后，或许斑已然忘记夏目的面容，但他一定记得那份往昔的温柔。在永生者眼中，这些人类只不过是千年中的一瞬，与他们结缘似乎只能徒留悲伤。然而若能抓住这些如同飞逝的火星般的温柔，那又何妨飞蛾扑火？ Finn和Jake之间无比忠诚的友谊无疑是整个九季中最明显的主题。而这看似烂大街的主题却毫无疑问地一次又一次打动了我。前几季对应了Finn的12～14岁，一如无忧无虑的童年，我也只是看着Finn和Jake傻乐呵。而从Finn进入青春期之后，Ooo大陆的变故与无可避免的成长也随之到来。自称为魔法老狗的Jake则无微不至地陪同着他一起成长。在循环列车那一集中，Jake因为无法劝说Finn一同离开，而下决心陪同Finn一起永远呆在车上。在Susan暴走那一集中，Jake为了保护与他合体为狗狗超人的Finn不受伤害而自己差点狗带。Jake曾无数次为了保护Finn免受伤害而暴走，Finn也无数次为了Jake而孤注一掷不惜抛弃一切。这大概就是OP中所唱的“With Jakethe dog and Finn the human, the fun will never ends, it's adventure time."吧。 Marcy和P.B这一对傲娇CP也真是贯穿了大半个季度的一条隐藏感情线。从S05中P.B表示自己对（与男生）谈恋爱没兴趣，到之后P.B透露自己其实每天都穿着Marcy送的衣服睡觉，到后来为了Marcy的小熊憨宝舍弃睡衣，在Marcy的要求下一同进行冒险（我只是想和你多待一会儿）到最终话里两人在硝烟中的相拥相吻，实在是不得不让人露出老父亲般的微笑。（S09E07中Marcy的神经质老爸问她们“那么你们打算什么时候要孩子？）
最后讲讲可爱的薄荷糖管家。最终话里薄荷糖管家在碰到了智障欢乐药水而变成了薄荷糖宝宝之后，看的书仍旧是《Dark magic 101》，这腹黑的设定……关于Ice king, Betty, Normal man(Magic man), Gunter ,剧中里已经附带了相当全面的评价，这里也就不过多赘述了。 PS. 关于最后为什么BMO选择独居在山洞里：
我想这便是永生者要面对的最大的悲哀——孤独。你可以想象BMO独自站在病床前，看着Finn慢慢衰老，无法动弹直至最终逝去……或许Finn死去之后，还有老Jake陪她一同承担，可是她最终还是得独自目睹那个最熟悉的Ooo大陆的凋零。自然，凋零总是伴随着新生，BMO自然可以选择再去找一个Finn和Jake那样的家，可一百年之后呢?只要与凡人结缘，最后就注定只能徒留悲伤。无论如何，BMO最终明白了这一事实，并且决定将那些与Finn和Jake共度的日子，作为独一无二的一份，珍藏在硬盘深处。或许数千年以后，那些关于Finn和Jake的传奇故事又将在Ooo大陆上流传…… PPS. 明明每一集片头都写着Jake the dog, 片里人物喊的也是/dʒek/，可是为什么还是有人坚持说是“Jack”?
Finn的小眼神 啧啧啧
超羡慕拥有Jake的Finn和拥有Finn的Jake
这张致敬龙猫电影海报的图也太暖了吧
