@matrix just looked that up (didnt get to the finale, only up to season 4 then lost interest because my brain's shit)
>There was some conversation about [logistics], but it was really up to [Hanna K. Nyströmthe], the storyboard artist who got that scene, to decide what her take on it was going to be. It actually wasn't in the outline when it was submitted. It didn't say that they kiss. It just said they 'have a moment.' When Hanna boarded that, there was a little note in the margin that said 'Come on!' with a big exclamation point. That was the only note. I can't argue with that.
there was never anything cemented into the script for the finale apparently, and they ended up getting approval for the kiss
Or how the kiss at the end of Adventure Time wasn't in the original script and was put there at the last second without the knowledge of higher ups.
