any chance for a 2017 updated version?
Agree with renzofp, any chances to update the list? Thank you!! i really need it
I will succ you if you update
I will succ you too
First, your system of less necessary episodes makes little sense, ranking susan strong and business time of equal importance. Trouble in Lumpy Space introduces lumpy space, which has recently become important again. Prisoners of Love introduces Ice King. Tree Trunks introduces Tree Trunks. It links back to Crystals have Power which is important character development for Jake and also introduces Jermaine. YOu forgot to mention that puhoy introduces Golb, who may still appear in future episodes. What is Life introduces Neptr. Also, you completely omitted the most importance episode about flame princess, Frost and Fire. Things like demonstrating the limits of jake's powers are very important down the line. (Ex: Jakesuit, The Limit) I know I didn't list everything, but I think it's worth saying that the cooler is fully important due to its character development of PB.
Row 17, it's episode 25, not 23 :)
And thanks for this list!
@PexJuv Firstly, he didn't write this. For someone who cares so much about details you really skipped over the most important one.
Secondly, there's nothing objective about this list, nor did anyone claim there was. Don't get so crazy over your opinion vs the writer's.
