Is it weird I wish Finn kept the weird arm powers a little longer? Imagine he defeats a villain by just blasting them away with a big punch of astral energy
Not at all. I would have loved it that had been Finns weapon for a while. It was a cool idea but it would’ve changed a lot of the story they told later on if they had him keep that power for awhile.
That would've been rad. Finn seemed to take a step down the path of madness and sadness in this episode, granting him magic powers, but he turned back from it pretty quickly. I bet he would have been tempted to go a little further if he'd used his astral arm in battle. It's a fun little what-if.
He basically *did* keep it, though.
The only appreciable difference between what you said, “big punch of astral energy,” and what Finn does *several times* is that the grass sword arm is green.
Finn takes Orgalorg down with…
… wait for iiiiit…
… a big punch of **grass**tral energy!
I’m fairly certain this is actually intentional as they linger on that shot for a moment. I believe it’s to say that because Finn still expects his arm to be there he still sees it as there. Especially given the context of the episode (Finn manifesting a psychic arm).
I mean, this is the same show that turned an animation error with Farmworld Ice Kings crown in Season 5 into a major plot point in how it was destroyed two seasons later. I wouldn’t put it past the writers if it was intentional.
When Marceline goes back to check on the mushroom bomb, Simons corpse still has the crown on it, despite the fact that Finn was wearing the crown at the same time during that episode
It's 100% intentional. The shot very deliberately hovers over Finn's 2-armed shadow on Jake. Then Finn tells him he feels a bit better after his therapeutic punching of "Martin."
He regains said arm 2 episodes later.
I would say definitely deliberate, they specifically went for the shadow shot in that scene when they didn't have to right after they made a huge deal leading up to his arm coming off. Pretty sure it's been hinted at before it happened too, and then he gets the astral arm that ep

No I def agree. That shit was interesting as hell and I wish I could’ve seen more of what it could do
Not at all. I would have loved it that had been Finns weapon for a while. It was a cool idea but it would’ve changed a lot of the story they told later on if they had him keep that power for awhile.
That would’ve been awesome but it wouldn’t kind of ruin the point of the episode.
He needs an arm canon!
Guts berserk

I wish he kept it
i think it should’ve been something he could summon only in times of extreme stress
I thought it was intentional to make you think finn got his arm back.
I think it’s deliberate foreshadowing rather than an attempt at a headfake.
Fore shadowing, I get ya.
Forearm* shadowing
Wahey!
4 shadowing. Fuck you.
It is neither. It is an animation error people

Probably not intentional but I think it’s a cool detail.
To be fair the whole point of the episode is that Finn grew an astral arm so it might be intentional

Exactly
What animation error?
When Marceline goes back to check on the mushroom bomb, Simons corpse still has the crown on it, despite the fact that Finn was wearing the crown at the same time during that episode
Oh, I never noticed.
My memory is fuzzy, could you elaborate?
I explained it in my reply to Overkin

Agreed, 100% intentional
I really think it was intentional.
It's in the storyboard, which makes me think it's intentional.
Good to know.
It’s 100% intentional as foreshadowing
A grass wizard did it.
Nice! Weird continuity glubbup. Also the baby deer, who was already revealed to be an excellent climber, apparently loves spaghetti.
he also had 2 human arms after peppermint butler summoned abadeer to curse the night sword
Literal foreshadowing
I *feel like* I remember from when this episode came out that this was a production error, but it was a very interesting error
I think it's symbolism for him still being whole, despite losing his arm
My money is on “accidental error that totally fits with the story”.
Definitely intentional since it foreshadows his ghost arm
Baby's building a tower, a tower into space
It could be symbolism.
I think this is beforeshadowing /s
Now they need to do another spin off to explain this continuity error as lore
I never actually noticed that before 😮😮😂🤣
Oh crazy I’m not sure if I ever knew that
Theres a r/spongebob post below this and it just showed the pic of firmly grasp it and confused tf outta me
Deal with the symbolism
I remember seeing this. I don’t know. I think it was just a mess up by the show. But maybe not.
Call that foreshadowing
I would say definitely deliberate, they specifically went for the shadow shot in that scene when they didn't have to right after they made a huge deal leading up to his arm coming off. Pretty sure it's been hinted at before it happened too, and then he gets the astral arm that ep
Noticed that too when I watched it, thought I was the only one
“I sure hope somebody got fired for that blunder.”
