"Rather than featuring a lore-heavy narrative spread across episodes and seasons, as “Adventure Time” and “Fiona and Cake” did, “Side Quests” will deliver stand-alone episodes starring early versions of fan-favorite characters, including the sometime-villain The Ice King. "

I feel like the lore and episodes building off one another was what made it so great. Granted I'm not the target audience for the new TV series but it seems like a step backwards.
