Conquest of Cuteness

"Conquest of Cuteness" is the first episode of season 3 of Adventure Time. ==Synopsis== Finn and Jake must defend their home from the Cuties, a tiny race who believe themselves to be evil, destructive invaders. ==Plot== Jake is seen cooking breakfast when Finn walks into their kitchen. After a quick beatboxing session, Jake makes an Everything Burrito. Finn and Jake then hear a noise in the Tree Fort's yard, where they encounter a group of small creatures called the Cuties, led by their king, whom Finn and Jake find very cute. However, their king says they aren't really cute and plan on defeating Finn and Jake. Jake becomes slightly disturbed after the creature's threat. But then Finn and Jake get Beemo to take pictures of the Cuties and Snail is seen waving but glaring at Finn and Jake. After playing with the creatures and taking pictures of them, Finn, along with Jake, soon go back in the tree fort. Finn reassures Jake that the creatures are harmless, and Jake remarks that Finn "sounds like Mom". After Finn is woken up at night by Jake, they both hear a strange noise downstairs. They hear a voice claiming to be their mother, stating that she was disappointed in them both, and that they are stupid. However they soon discover it is one of the creatures playing a joke on them.They chase the creature into a hole in a trunk where Finn grabs it. Before escaping, it warns Finn and Jake of an attack on the fort by their army arriving at sunrise.The next morning Finn and Jake blockade the Tree Fort with furniture, and seeing the army arriving they become afraid. However, after seeing the cute creatures fall apart and injure themselves (one even explodes), they discover the creatures are very weak and harmless, except to themselves.Their king tries to help them but fails, and orders a retreat. Finn and Jake followed the Cute King to a well with the remaining injured small creatures, who start planning another attack. Finn and Jake decide to fake their deaths so the creatures can feel good about themselves and declare their first victory. In order to make it seem like a battle between armies, they gather Lumpy Space Princess, Beemo, Cinnamon Bun and a duck.Character designer Andy Ristaino confirmed that the duck is not Boobafina The creatures attack, and Finn, Jake, and their friends fake their deaths and pretend to bleed with ketchup, but at the end of the attack, the Cute King performs a victory dance on Jake's stomach, which causes Jake to laugh, revealing he is alive. Everyone else, realizing that Jake is caught, reveal themselves. The Cute King is saddened by this, claiming he just wanted he and his people to cause fear and gain control. Finn tells the Cute King that his people's strength is not in their power, but in their cuteness. The Cute King agrees and asks Finn how to use their power, and Finn decides to send the Cute King to the Ice King. The Cute King demands the Ice King makes him a sandwich, and when the Ice King refuses, the Cute King strikes a cute pose, with which the Ice King is awestruck and promptly makes a sandwich. ==Characters== ===Major Characters=== *Finn *Jake *Cuties **Cute King **Bliblob **Two Headed Cutie ===Minor Characters=== *Lumpy Space Princess *Cinnamon Bun *Beemo *Duck *Ice King *Gunter *Snail (The Lich) ==Trivia== *This is the second time Finn doesn't sleep in his sleeping bag, first time being in "Power Animal". The only difference is that Finn was on top of the blankets in "Power Animal", while he was under the blankets in this episode. *Beemo reveals that he is already had a camera built into his body, negating the need for the video camera used in "Video Makers". It could be possible that while Beemo has a Polaroid camera, he does not have a video camera. *Cute King yelled out "BRAVEST WARRIORS!" This refers to Adventure Time creator Pendleton Ward's earlier cartoon Bravest Warriors about four kids saving planets and the leader having a crush on one of the warriors named Beth. *It is revealed that Jake has a sword of his own. He was seen using the sword in the beginning of "Tree Trunks", but it was never confirmed that it was his. Jake's sword looks like a mini version of Billy's Sword Nothung from "His Hero." It also bears a resemblance to a Japanese Naginata, excluding the color and decorations on it. *The snail can be found in a shack-looking building when Beemo is taking pictures of the Cuties, and he is shown to still be possessed. *This is the first episode that Finn and Jake talk about Margaret calling her "mom". *The grapes found in the everything burrito are actually toxic towards dogs so it would have harmed Jake. *This is the third episode with a title card that is not ripped. *During the scene where Lumpy Space Princess is faking being in love with one of the Cuties, the viola music that Jake was playing for Finn in the episode, "When Wedding Bells Thaw", was playing in the background. ==Gallery== Cute King.jpg|Cute King 5934235980_f1364d2db0_z.jpg|LSP food.jpg 5935373832_cec9d40ef9_b.jpg Cutebackround.jpg |Finn and Jake's barricade Thc3.PNG Mb.PNG Size500 Andy Ristaino Killer Cuties.jpg Blblo.PNG Jakes sword.jpg|Jake's sword Screen shot 2011-07-17 at 4.43.58 PM.png 4624775640_818e0fbde6.jpgc.jpg tumblr_lojvaeDTa11qc7bqwo3_r1_250.gif|Click to view animation tumblr_lo9qw27c2a1qfy2kdo1_500.gif Tumblr lomkf5wenv1ql201ao1 500.gif tumblr_lonibp7AOD1ql201ao1_500.gif|link=Bliblob  ==References==
