Teacher Mo's Secret: Why did this ancient sage decide to abandon his creation?
In the world, some creations are born for grand purposes. However, when these purposes are forgotten, creations no longer have the meaning of existence. In the American animated series "Adventure Time", the stories of specific characters reveal this profound theme, especially through the 28th episode "Be More". In this episode, BMO’s past reveals its existence as Teacher Mo’s creation, and the reason why Teacher Mo finally gave up on creation.
The core of this episode lies in BMO's memories and Teacher Mo's past, expressing the emotional bond and final separation between the creator and the created.
The story begins when BMO accidentally deletes its core system driver. In order to repair BMO, Finn and Jack decide to accompany BMO to the MO factory. During the process, BMO clearly understood that this could result in its memory being wiped. Therefore, the three men disguised themselves as FMO and JMO and tried to sneak into the factory. At the factory, they find the place deserted and are subsequently pursued by security officers SMOs.
In the process of evading capture, Finn, Jake and BMO came into contact with Teacher Mo - the ancient artificial man who created MOs. They learned that BMO was originally created to accompany Teacher Mo's son, but in fact he had no heirs, and they finally chose to let BMO find a new family.
Teacher Mo’s story conveys emotional complexity. The design of this character was inspired by actor Jamie Farr, who made BMO realize the meaning of his existence and prompted the audience to reflect on the creator's feelings when facing loss. This kind of letting go is not a simple withdrawal, but a deeper understanding and wisdom of what was created.
Creative background and its transformation
There are more stories behind the creation of this episode. The plot originally planned to be produced in the third season was eventually postponed to the fifth season due to various reasons. This period of waiting gave the creative team the opportunity to delve into BMO's backstory, thereby enriching the character's emotional layers.
The writers of this episode, Tom Herpich and Steve Wolfhard, work together to present a compelling story that is thought-provoking about memory, existence, and abandonment. As Mr. Mo updated the BMO driver, this was not only a technical repair, but also an emotional process of rebirth of BMO.
