The show tried to have an unfolding plot, where there was an epic lore hidden underneath the surface. But lore only works as seasoning. It can never be the meat of a plot. So, when the new writers tried to answer all the questions that kept getting thrown out, it was boring. Because the answers could never be as interesting as what was imagined and the lore wasn't as detailed as you'd think it was.
What was the setting of adventure time? The bombs dropped and magic came back to Earth. It's not actually that interesting, when you actually acknowledge what is essentially background flavour text. Any attempt to give the fans what they wanted, answers that they've been baited with for years, would ultimately be a letdown. The writers, new and old, should have just focused on what attracted people to the show in the first place. Finn's relationship with the world and people of Ooo.
