SCARLET IS A YELLOW SWORD YET ITS CALLED SCARLET, THEY PLANNED HIM TO BE COLORBLIND

So basically they gave Jake human vision and Finn dog vision? That's cute as fuck

There’s a comic strip made by the writers that shows jakes death. He dies of old age, starts to grow uncontrollably, PB throws him in the giant crater in the earth plugging it up and making the earth whole again. Even in death, he saved everyone

Damn I always wondered why James Baxter’s animation was way smoother than the rest of the show

Frankly I can't stand "it was all a dream" theories. They're so devoid of imagination. You're basically saying "Hey, what if this work of fiction was fictional"

The scariest thing about the deer, for me, is that there is seemingly no reason for him to do what he did. He had nothing to gain from the fucked up shit he did, he just seemed to enjoy creating a miserable, disturbed and depraved reality for himself

Speaking of tarot cards, the King refuses to fight Marceline because he sees it as "Subjecting himself to The Wheel Of Fortune", another tarot card reference, so given his force of will in trying to break the cycle, I'd say by the end of the episode he represents the Hanged Man, which stands for letting go of your position to find peace, learning from mistakes, and seeing life from a new perspective. He willingly goes through with the process of having his power removed at the end of the episode and effectively ends his previous life as the King of Vampires, so hey, the writers are incredibly good at what they do whether that was intentional or not.

Prismo's Boss might not directly be referenced, BUT, In an episode, the Cosmic Owl talks about a boss as well, which is probably both their boss

"Here's some pictures I whipped up showing what Finn sees" Me, also red/green colour blind "Ah yes, difference"

The scariest part about the deer is that the creators said he survived having his the bricks dropped on him. They said that in another episode magic man turns him into a telescope. But since magic man lost his powers that could mean he changed back and is still out there.

I full-heartedly believe that The Deer is one of the monsters from Before Nothing, along with being one of the Apostles of Golb. Alright, let’s look at what we know: - The deer just showed up in the Candy Kingdom one day and began terrorizing the populace. - After kidnapping all of the candy people, he began the process of taking the sugar out of them. - He has HANDS!! - He was able to kidnap and seriously weaken Peppermint Butler: also known as THE DARK ONE, and known acquaintance of DEATH and HUSON ABDEER (also a Before Nothing monster). His actions cause chaos all over the kingdom and (almost) mass genocide, which goes along with Golb’s purpose of instilling chaos and destruction everywhere he goes. And we know that evil comes in all shapes and sizes, with Gunther/Orgalorg coming to mind.

something bizarre that sticks to me to this day is lemonhope’s episodes, idk why but they had such bad vibes, they were the only episodes i felt close to what i felt on the deer one

"The tip of the iceberg" "Nuclear war"

When the deer is so strong it claps Peppermint Butler

I find it interesting how Finn, in multiple lives, looses his arm. It feels strangely karmic how it’s portrayed. Also worth noting in parallel how the Litch also loses his arm, effecting every conceivable multiverse. Any correlation??

I like how specific Finn got with the DMT facts. He was literally telling PB her subjects were having a near death experience.

“It’s all a dream” theories are honestly the biggest buzzkill for a series. These people need to have some fun for once in their lives.

Damn that Pillow world theory... I'm sad. The fact that Finn doesn't remember a thing makes it even sadder...maybe it's even better if he forgets it.

"Finn and Jake's body count" "How many people they killed" Oh, not that kind of body count..

By the time you finish Adventure Time, you're left with a thousand questions and the impression you just went on a journey beyond animation and into your very soul. Its one of the weirdest shows I've ever had the pleasure of watching and the team behind it are absolutely amazing for giving us the show. James Baxter breaths more life into each scene than you'll find in a live action.

This is late but: A comment said that since the deer has eyes on the front of his head that it indicates that the deer is a predatory animal, and is deer mimic .

Are we gonna ignore that fact that the lich literally skinned Billy? And then even wore his skin?

The guy who rejected Adventure Time Must feel like a pure and utter smooth-brain whenever someone brings it up "Hey remember that time you rejected one of the greatest series ever?" "I'll never forget it."

Man, as someone with red-green colourblindness, the show (and most fans) got it really wrong. We don't see 'green' as 'red', or vice versa. It's just easier to mess up distinguishing between similar shades of certain colours because the red-receiving and green-receiving cones in our eyes are diminished. Hence the name. There aren't actually any forms of colourblindness where someone would mistake a big bright green gemstone for a red one, except maybe total achromatopsia, which Finn probably doesn't have. But, good video, ranting aside lol

"Before there was nothing, there were monsters" is honestly such a chilling concept that to this day that line gives me shivers. I can't see anyone other than Ron Perlman as that horrifying thing known as the Lich.

Wait. If Finn is colorblind, then to him, his backpack isn't actually green.

I like the idea that Finn saved pillowworld from Golb by getting its attention, making it divert its course and follow Finn. That's why Golb even appears in Ooo in the finale, it was following Finn. Likewise, Finn getting its attention directly saved the multiverse because now Betty is Golb.

Actually, Hunson Abadeer is _not_ visible in the Pre-nothing scene. However, there are a few other interesting tidbits of theory-fodder in it. Especially combined with the last 2 episodes that have come out since this video. *1:* We see Coconteppi, a monster introduced in "Wizard City" after this video was made. Coconteppi was the original power of magic, at least as it is on Earth, and Coconteppi's corpse is proof that the pre-time monsters _can_ die. Caledonius even mentions the Second Age of Terror, which Matthew from "The Mountain" was preparing for. There is a possibility that The _First_ Age of Terror was the age before time and nothing, meaning Matthew might have wanted to either become one of the Monsters or save the world from them. Or it could just mean some time of crazy wildly powerful magic that terrified the Earth. *2:* The monsters are described as being from "before there was time", which means they existed before the Time Room, meaning it is likely that Prismo's Boss is one of those monsters, maybe even one of those we get to see in the scene. It also means the pre-nothing monsters are likely multiversal, which could mean that "nothing" only refers to our universe, and not necessarily the whole multiverse, explaining how the monsters can still exist _after_ there was "nothing". *3:* One of the monsters looks a lot like a tree with some sort of fruit/ball at the end of its branches, sort of similar to what we see in "Together Again" that Death turned into after dying. Maybe this monster was the original Death?

when he said "body count" my eyes went WIDE and then i realised he meant kill count 😭

I believe stopped watching Adventure Time somewhere around Finn losing his arm, but I'm glad to see that *the deer* remains as traumatic as it was when I first saw it.

Just wanted to say that Martin’s brain injury adds up pretty well, there’s a link between traumatic brain injuries & sociopathy so his transformation into a cosmic criminal isn’t really off base. Even if TBI’s don’t make someone become a full fledged sociopath, it still will almost always amplify toxic parts of a person’s personality

It worries me that it got turned down so many times, like the beetles, cause it makes you think, theres probably been instances of things just as good, but after getting regretted so many times, the creator just gave up

What we see: colorful kingdoms What Finn sees: URINE

You forgot the episode where if Finn opened his eyes he would transported to the cave where he activated that curse and sent to the exact time of it, meaning he wasted several years trying to break the curse while blind.

Adventure time has always been important to me because it allowed me (someone who spent their childhood inside) to have 11 minutes of each episode where I could pretend I was right there with them, making it so I was able to learn lessons from this show, basic things in retrospect but also things some adults still don’t have a good grasp on. This show is heart wrenching and heart warming all at the same time throughout every episode and every season. There is always something to be learned and nothing is ever just one way

The vampire king is 100% supposed to be the wheel of fortune. He literally says it in the second to last episode

I'm a 40 year old man who's never seen a single episodes of Adventure Time, but i watched this whole video... And it sure sounds like one weird-ass cartoon.

I love all these so much but I propose that Finn’s dad doesn’t have memory loss, instead he was so distraught by having to abandon his son at sea that he is now in a constant state of denial. He couldn’t live with losing his baby, so he convinced himself that its part of his personality to be a careless dirt bag, he has taken the idea too far and now can’t be caring to his son nor the tiny villagers in “The Visitor” episode. He’s constantly running from Finn as emotional avoidance.

I love how the whole time you have some nice music playing then as soon as the deer shows up the beat drops and it’s time to escape

Watching this show tripping on shrooms is my favorite thing. I watched 10 hours one night on gold caps, lemonhopes story was a trip and o watched the entire lich/fins dad storyline in one night along with ice kings backstory. It was emotional

with all these icebergs it’s crazy how there wasn’t a single adventure time one before this one

Why is that stupid deer by far the scariest thing there ever was in the show. Just hearing him mention it gave me chills.

9:56 in the new fionna and cake series, it was revealed that it was actually prismo beaming the thoughts of fionna and cake into ice king's head. honestly wasnt really shocked at that tbh

9:57 We now know Prismo is the one who beams the stories into Ice King!!

Remember when a Deer broke both of Finn's legs, gave Jake head trauma, kept hostage ALL of the candy kingdom for weeks and they finish it off with 2 bricks to the head and then disposing his body into the waters. Excuse me, this is a kids show, right?

The Deer is probably one of the most unsettling characters in the series

17:55 I always theorized that Finn saw Golb as Finn and the other protagonists as living through Golbs destruction. Finn died in pillow world, on his way back he technically avoided / cheated death. Then he cheats death again by narrowly escaping Golb thanks to Betty

Now we know the beam projecting fionna and cake to ice kings head was prismo

Before there was time there was nothing and before there was nothing there were monsters. Before there were monsters... 🦌

My personal theory is that Adventure Time is one long running D&D campaign

with the new Fionna and Cake series we know that the red beam comes from Pismo as he created Fiona's Universe for his own entertainment but had to hide it because he's not allowed to create universes, so he hides it in Ice King mind

It’s interesting that Finn is red green colorblind seeing as his two main love interests are flame princess and huntress wizard

Are we sure "3000-9" isn't just a callback to LSP saying "Who cares it's 2009" at the start of the series but it's a 1000 years in the future?

The deer’s fingers are nightmare source

Its actually kinda crazy, that when youre watching a first episode of a show like adventure time or the regular show, you dont realize that its gonna be so fricking epic and full of misteries

10:05 only took 2yrs for this to be answered 💀

I remember watching Obsidian and thinking "that's 100% a memorial tattoo." It's an extremely Pendleton Ward way to keep Finn and Jake together for the special

The deer episode made me so fucking scared as a kid, it’s just way too creepy for a “kid” ‘s show

18:47 That stone duck that she rides is seen in the house hunting episode, where Marceline kicks Finn and Jake out of their house. I think they may have known eachother back then, too.

Can't believe that a cartoon series can have a story that goes this deep. I have never watched any episode of it, but It just baffles me how much thought process went into this series. My mind is really blown. OMFG

love it for me how im on a huge iceberg video binge and this pops up in my recommended not even an hour after its posted :D

The whole existance of the deer episode is like a fever dream to me.

I liked that you talked about the intro theme to the series finale, so many secrets in it. Apparently Patience along with the new fire and slime elementals can be seen and theres even some statues of Finn and Jermaine

Watching this after Fionna and Cake, multiple of the mysteries were solved!

Finns tattoo represents he isnt aftaid of death anymore, hes excepted that people die, and he moves past it, thus getting the commemorative tattoo

They say that "The Deer" is feared by even the most hardcore hunters.

Adventure Time was a huge part of me childhood and my life even now. As I've matured, I've noticed that well, there are many sensitive topics spoken about in the series, hidden in a way you only see as you grow up. I love the show with every bit of my being. It went from a fun show about foolishness to a dark and deep show that makes you think

For me the craziest, scariest thing in Ooo is all the options. Top 2: -Freezing potion that freezes Ice King, Jake and Finn. Then Gunther destroys the antidote... -Dumdum juice that turned people into candy citizens. It's later shown that candy people are still sentient but can only express themselves in silly songs and dances...

The fact that soy people exist made me believe that lady rainicorns parents hunted vegans or vegetarians not regular humans.

Surprised the unused enchiridion title card was not in the iceburg somewhere.

14:15 I think not many talk about Prismo’s death since he is later revived by utlizing a Jake dog as a back up plan as a replacement body to again exist. Also the episode in which Finn gets the Finn sword

Im pretty sure this iceberg should be more than 1 hour with the layers of layers of information we have about the show and the deep philosophical concepts with each arc

Would this mean he saw fire princess as green and that’s why she didn’t look dangerous to him and he was calmer. Also his grass arm could have looked red or yellow.

Love how in other icebergs the theory’s sound crazy but whit adventure time is just the regular feel of watching and oh yeah that happened, nice video

This video was incredibly well put together! The editing and actual explanations behind the topics - you don’t encounter an iceberg like this every day.

For the Adventure Time finale, using _music_ as an Anti-Chaos weapon because of its harmonic properties has popped up in Warhammer 40k stories since then.

Honestly "The Deer" was an episode that really messed me up when I was younger. Something about it just made me feel uneasy.

The Deer was also in the primordial soup. He was the first ingredients.

Now that's what I call a great video! It is so nice that you tell us who helped you through making this - that's how I imagine a typical Adventure Time fan, genuinely kind and polite person.

The Jake is dead in the Obsidian thing seems more plausible if you think about how in the series finale's intro, it showed both statues of Finn and Jake with Jake's statue being half-buried into the ground while Finn's statue was just laying on top of it meaning Jake's statue was built and eroded first.

I normally despise when people think "it was all a dream" is a clever idea, however with Adventure Time, there is an episode in season 4 where King Worm is keeping Finn and Jake in a dream and after Finn shatters the dream at the end of the episode, it is apparent that the setting is VERY similar to a previous episode in season 1 where King Worm was hypnotizing them, which lead many to ponder if they had been stuck in the dream since that episode.

My personal theory is that Prismo is Jake. Prismos dimension is independent of time so the fact that jake replaces him still works out. This would also explain why Jake and Prismo get along so well. Edit: Just to be clear, Prismo was always jake, as we see him become the old man

for the longest time I avoided going down the rabbit hole that is adventure time, and honestly I'm a little sad I never experienced it growing up but I feel like I should remedy this. Thankyou for the really awesome iceberg video !! you have convinced me to go back and experience what I missed out on as a kid :)

Hard to believe this was your first yt video, you held yourself well and I feel provided not just expository dialogue to the arguments presented but gave evidence to those interested with the cited material (ig above me now lol) without hammering your own canon as many iceberg content has trouble with.

Shame it didn’t talk about how Tree Trunks was about to say “I think we should get a divorce” before Sweetpea was given to them

As a colorblind myself, was really confused in that ruby/emerald scene lmao

HE GETS THE RED BEAMS FROM PRISMOOOOO!!!!!!!!

The summoning circle haunted my childhood and now you’ve brought it back to me

u had to bring again the "deer" to my nightmares

As an OG Adventure Time Fan, This is what we have all be waiting for; a series of relations and correlations throughout the whole show that ties everything together. And you have provided that so Thank You!

i loved that video!!! such insane hidden little things. i'm so happy you mentioned the tarot card thing about the stakes episodes, this one is my favourite! each vampire encompass the energy of the cards and everything. i hate that when i read "the deer" on the screen, i instantly started removing my gloves to wiggle my fingers

This is really high quality compared to other icebergs I've seen. Normally they're all the same; low quality, bad mic & frankly, uninteresting. But this. THIS. This is real good

Oh cool that kill count post was mine. I'm glad you found it useful!

The snail is like the butterfly from Kirby. You don't suspect them but they are way more important than you think

I hate and fear the deer. He has that "c'mere boy" child diddler energy.

I love the amount of detail put into making this vid. Thanks for making good videos

I think one of the creepiest parts of the deer is that we never get any sort of explination for who or what he is. All we can do is theories, but we'll never truly know...

are we going to ignore the fact that PRISMO IS A HUMAN

I really like ur topics and analysis which makes the show more and more interesting

16:04 this is actually not as surprising as you’d think, considering human flesh apparently tastes similar to pork. Source: trust me
