What turned me away from the whole FP ordeal was the way it treated Finn as a character, while contributing nothing to the series outside of presenting a designated love interest for people to gawk at. That said, they probably would've been better off keeping romance out of the series altogether unless going for true endgame.
As for Marceline...well, it's pretty sad. She hasn't really done anything remarkable since Stakes, and most of her appearances usually involve her being Bubblegum's accessory to some degree. I can't remember the last time she's even interacted with Finn onscreen, without PB being present.
We'd probably be better off just shelving half the series and praying for a decent reboot. Wipe the slate clean.
