Fillers are the stuff between two Oreo cookies, it’s true. But when it comes to Adventure Time lore episodes, fillers are used to fill the space between chapters in the main story.

While many people believe that this show, much like Steven Universe or the famous Star Wars Rebels, has some filler episodes, others believe it is not so. In fact, due to the storyline being non-linear, they don’t consider any of the episodes as “filler.” And while there are a lot of episodes to watch for the newcomers to this show, it’s definitely worth watching in order. And whether this series has fillers or not is up to you to decide after you’ve seen them all.
