Something I always think about in regards to Finn's parents is that Minerva made Finn a hero, with her compassion and desire to help others whatever the cost, but Martin made Finn a survivor, someone who would always come out the other side regardless of the odds

I'm actually sad that finn never got to witness how his father loved, protected and actually tried to change for good to raise his son

I kinda hate how Martin went from being a badass and cool dad to one of the worst dads in adventure time,hes by far more worse than Marcelines dad

When Marcy first met Finn and realized he was human she must have been like “oh nice they made it”

I thought his last name was "Human." *I've missed so much.*

I honestly never even considered the fact that Shermy and Beth found a brand new Finn sword?!? Like, that means Finn's consciousness technically still exists 1000+ years later... 😱

F for Fern, his story is so freaking depressing, imagine being trapped in an object every day by another version of yourself and getting used. then having a parasite make you a body and control you, seeing your other version of yourself be happy while you struggle to find an identity, fern is finn, they had the same journey, fought the same enemies till he got turned into a sword, suffering, alone, having no control of himself, with no one to talk to, no one to help, not knowing who he even is anymore.

I always was bummed out Finn actually had great parents who he never met (I know I know technically he did but you know what I mean)

Smokes blunt. We spent a great portion of human history loving dogs and when all humanity was pushed to near extension.. a dog family adopts a human and shows love.

So Finn has no bloodline legacy in oo, but he theoretically has one in a pillowverse that may or may not exist.

Something you forgot Remember the TreeTrunks ep with her exes and past life? There she had a pirate crew, who we see in a drawing/thumbnail that they saved Martens after the incident with Finn as a baby :D

That is a lot of children for a 17 year old

Fun fact: The whole Green Knight story is a giant reference to the poem "Sir Gawain and the Green Knight." It was one of my favorite pieces to read in college When I was floored when they referenced it here.

It’s not official but it’s 99% possible that one of Finn’s ancestors is one of the people on the boat sailing to new land that Marciline saves when she fights the vampire king. I think it’s the kid Marciline befriends because he wears a similar hat to Finn.

It's sad that Finn never truly knew what his dad sacrificed for him

Despite being a 12-17 year old, Finn is actually super mature being able to face his childhood trauma and absent parents quite well.

Pretty sure Martin ended up in the citadel because he got blamed for killing everyone on the rift

The artwork for the episode, I think showed Martin being rescued by a bunch of sailors, he head was also bandaged up, so it’s implied that he incurred head trauma. Throughout the series, remnants of good guy Martin could be seen, but it was like seeing him through a warped funhouse mirror.

What do you think would happen if his pillow kids/grandkids somehow came over to his world

*When I saw that flashback where an orphaned and crying Finn gets adopted by Jake's parents that was so heartwarming I almost cry at this (;__;)*

Golb probabably ate(destroyed) the pillow dimension. That's why Finn can't remember that life.

I do realize that both of Finn's parents, even if they aren't there for him Martin is reckless and always on the run. Finn gets his sense of adventure Minerva is kind and caring to the point of being a tad restricting. Finn gets her need to help and caringness

Soo, no one is gonna mention how Finn reproduced with a pillow?

Do Princess Bubblegum's Family Tree, that'd a good one to do and she probably have the most mess up of the bunch.

I cried when adventure time ended. And I was like HOLY SHIT. When they made distant lands

Too think that BMO meets Finn’s dad like right before he meets Finn, small universe

Finn's mom is like mr house in fallout new vegas and the island is like the new vegas strip

Just saying a jockstrap doesn’t go in the crack, that’s what a thong is

Aww that's cute, the jockstrap is actually the least up the butt kind of underwear. It really says his dad is bottom! A galactic bottom!

finn's parents' relationship is so beautifully tragic :(

Yknow it’s kinda sad that no one will ever know the good thing that Martin did in attempting to sacrifice himself for his sons sake, and now his wife and son see him as a humongous jerk.

I had been waiting for this

Martin is a severely underrated character.

Lets say someone forgets everything forever, they are no longer the same person. You could argue that the previous person died. Finns father lost himself, or died, saving Finn.

I like Uncivilized Eli's analysis on Martin's brain better, where he does remember the past and sees it as a huge mistake. I think it was the Story vs Reality video from The Visitor and The Islands miniseries.

I miss Adventure Time

Damn I litterally crying how minerva feels 9:21 ahhh the feels

This brought tears to my eyes. This just reminds me the love I have for Adventure Time and the stories that kept me smiling throughout my teens. I needed this

Based on some official art it’s theorized that fin’s dad had suffered from brain damage at some point, and this is why he’s so different.

Finn's family tree is certainly interesting!

I still can't get over how tragic it is that the Campbell-Mertens family will never fully know what happened.

I find it to be one of the weirdest things that some people ship Fin and Fern.

I loved the pillow episode but him forgetting it was sad :(

So in the end no one knew how much love and care Martin had for his wife and his son

Old Finn in the pillow world was the same as old Finn in the real world but with a metal arm, but it's the same form of arm, I think that was cool

Kind of messed up that Finn is the only one who doesnt end up with someone.....I mean, a lot of the early show was him crushing on different princesses.

As a guy who wears jockstraps I can confirm that it doesn't actually touch the crack Thongs on the other hand toycj JUST the crack

Man I hope we see together again short and new girlfriend it is huntress wizard and some marrying her or having a child I believe child will name be fern to remember the counterpart itself

Haven’t watched the video yet but my man Stormo better be on here Edit: eyyyyyyyyy I’m glad y’all didn’t forget our bros sacrifice

I still can't get over Martin jumping through a window with a newborn, damn.

I'm like 90% sure the pillow world thing never actually happened.

I love how Finn just casually bounces off of Golb's tongue.

Is it weird that almost half of this vid was about Fin’s human father?

What time is it? Feels Time!! 😭😭😭

This man needs a character analysis He's been through so much Also he needs therapy But this is kinda close

Hey #NerdWire, I've other interesting ideas for an Craig of the Creek video, a video talking/explaining about all the know locations at The Creek we've seen so far.

I’m somewhat against the idea that Martin’s dickishness and lack of care for his son is a result of memory loss or brain damage. I think it’s much deeper to consider Martin’s behavior as a result of extreme guilt and regret. Causing him to repress the pain and memory of leaving Finn and Minerva. Going into this state of fear and wanting to run from the past would explain why he decided to go to space. And I have an idea for how that happened too. In the episode Ring of Fire, Tree Trunks recounts her adventurous life where we see her string of marriages and various careers. One of which was being a pirate captain of the ship “La Femme De La Mer” or “Woman of the Sea” in French. On her ship, she’s accompanied by her quartermaster named Mr. Faidutti. In the storyboard’s title card for the episode “Min and Marty” (not the actual title card used), there’s a depiction of Martin on board a large ship, bleeding from his head, with none other than Mr. Faidutti holding his fingers out to check for a concussion. Now bare with me here. We have to assume that Tree Trunks was captain of the ship at the time when Martin was rescued for what happens next to make sense. In the episode “High Strangeness”, it’s established that Tree Trunks has hybrid-alien children that come to visit her every few years. After Martin fought the Gaurdian, sustaining some kind of head injury, he was rescued by Tree Trunk’s pirate crew on board Le Femme De La Mer. Coincidentally, this was at the same time that her alien children came to visit her. Suffering deep pain and regret for abandoning Finn at sea, likely to die, and Minerva on the island without her child, Martin chose to run away from his past and get as far away from the islands as possible. That’s when he accompanied Tree Trunk’s alien children into space where he began his life as a cosmic criminal. After that it’s not clear what he did. Though we do know that a few years later, around the time Finn was five or so, Martin was in another solar system, (or even galaxy), onboard the galactic space colony, “The Drift”. This is where he took up the name “Mr. M” as established in the Distant Lands special “BMO”, and began his life as a space criminal by swindling the denizens of The Drift and scavenging it for parts alongside the former human Hugo. And you know the rest. Martin’s antics got out of hand and Billy, yes Billy, caught him and sent him to the Citadel. I’m hypothesizing this since Billy was the one who knew Martin was being kept in the Citadel, (despite it being in space somewhere) and told Finn after his death. I could go on and on about all the Martin appearances we see in Adventure Time and the deep psyche of this swindling con man, but it was never officially established how Martin got into space and I figured I’d share my two cents about it.

I stopped watching adventure time around when the first few seasons were out cause I unfortunately grew up, but man I missed so much. I had no idea the story expanded WAY far out and I’m considering revisiting the series 👌🏻

I love how they added Fern too, wholesome

I surprised finn never continued his bloodline like you would think a great warrior/adventure would want to continue his bloodline or take a apprentice on atleast.

Oh man this series is one of the most well thought out cartoon ever

Im early to a good youtube video for once in my 23 years of living.

Man, I wish Finn hooked up with HW like how Bonnie and Marcy did.

You know, the one thing I don't like about adventure time is how finn never knew his father isn't a bad guy... OK, *wasn't* a bad guy His story was legit about the raft and tiger

I love how videos Id be interested in end up coming out when I just get back into the topic of said video. Long story short I’ve just begun rewatching the series of adventure time!

I just realized it, but Martin went nuts even without being cursed by the Ice King's Crown. It makes you wonder if Simon would've been able to keep it together even if the crown left him with his sanity for the next thousand years.

Wait wait wait... How did finn know his name, how did Jake's parents know his name??????? How did anyone know his name????????

It's weird thinking about what Finn would be like during the timeline of Adventure Time if he actually stayed on founder's island instead of getting lost in the forest in Ooo.

Thanks, there were things I didn't know well in the series 🙂💕

Not going to lie the founder's island or more specifically Minerva (Finn's mum) always tears me up Not sure how you properly spell his mum's name but I think that's how it is

What an informative video. I like it.

I forgot this video was coming...

I guess you could say that Fern is a literal family tree

NerdWire bringing us the content we need. 🤘🏻🔥

Swell video as always my pal😊🥰👍💯💕💞💖

7:46 Martin didn’t trap BMO that was just a coincidence, and they aren’t on a planet they’re on a big space ship thing that has pods.

Even though he doesn’t remember his pillow family I think pillow world remembers the human who visited

That’s why Finn is scared of the ocean

I'm surprised that many people didn't comment about finn's pillow son and daughter are married

I wanna see Finn as a young adult and the adventures that come along with it, instead of making an off series 😢

*Fathers r usually the unsung songs in the family*

You know since it's a finn sword they find in the future it could be interesting if finn was still in the sword, could be like a guide to shermy

For the longest time Finn thought he was the final human. I wonder how long it took him to accept that fact

I just feel extremely sad that Minerva never knew the true reason why martin left the island. It makes me want to imagine an iteration where they were never separated in the first place or they found out the true reason after the show. :'(

Thanks for telling me something new Here’s a new sub for you.

My head cannons for Martin's change: He became such a drastic man because he couldn't remember what he forgot. Similar to answering a math quiz and not knowing what you don't know kind of frustration but more, since it involves his life. To not remember his son, his wife or the life he led before. Maybe he remembered his con ways because of the familiarity and embraced it, fully. I think internally he has an idea of doing something drastic to save his son, but i guess that changed to doing something drastic to save *himself*. I guess he also thought of finn as himself, like part of himself for his thought process to go in that direction What breaks my heart the most is a man turning to good just to return to bad but much much worse when he did something praiseworthy. Maybe it's the potential he had but my heart really breaks from it. Martin is a heartbreaking character for his past but just the biggest asshole in AT, he's not even morally gray lmao

Thank you for the video

WHAT TIME IS IT! *fist bump who ever tells me what time it is* (Me hoping someone will comment and answer it)

Wait, Martin was Mr. M? I never thought abou that!

Finn and Jake holding hands was so sweet

I don’t really consider Fern an offspring, it’s him, but if we have to consider him a family member he’s more like a twin brother.

I love how Finn got his kindness and caring nature from his mom and his survivability and grit from his dad

14:33 WAIT I DIDN'T KNOW WE SAW THAT BIG BOI WAY BACK TO THIS EPISODE, I THOUGHT HE DIDN'T EXIST YET FROM A MAKING OF THE SHOW PERSPECTIVE

this was a nice trip back, i stopped watching AT around the time finn first lost his arm alot has happend since then seems like.

Devorce judge in Las Vegas: Nah I’m boogying out of here!

The Pillow episode still has me heartbroken even after all these years :(

I never saw Grass Finn as evil, just a combination of misguided and bad luck. Heck even the grass demon is a creature in a bind. It's the spirit of a weapon made by a jerk that, up until it was fused with the fin sword, had been a loyal if clingy weapon to Finn.

the pillow fort episode made me so sad

I stopped watching the show years before all of this, and I skipped to the ending. So I'm watching these to keep track 😂

I like to think that Martin didn't lose his memories, rather he was so guilt driven and distraught over losing his son, his wife, and his home that he decided he would rather burn every bridge and lose his past than confront it. I think the whole idea that it was amnesia or brain damage really cheapens the character of Martin.
