Marceline dressed in this Gothic Vampire style was so good that I'm annoyed that we've never had this before and probably won't again.

Seeing episode 7 made me realize how important Simon was to Marceline. Like this man prevented an absolute killing machine because he showed her love and care, despite growing with madness from the crown. It honestly made me appreciate Simon more as a parent after seeing the world where Marcy didn't have him.

To be fair, Adventure time ended with the main characters getting their ending. I am honestly fine with seeing these multiverse's and how these characters can be changed by their surroundings.

I love that in episode 2 marceline asks what would she be without Simon, and Simon says she would be thriving, but than you see in episode 7 that she really did need Simon

If Evil Marceline had a musical number in the Disney Villain style, the episode would be perfect.

I know Marcy was a villain, but she was SOOO FUN as a villain. It kinda reminded me of when we first saw her in AT. She just loves being evil & having fun, and i gotta respect it

Fiona and cake definitely expanded its lore in the best way possible

I feel like Bubblegum and Marceline were less enemies to lovers and more lovers to enemies, since they seemed to have had a close relationship beforehand (possibly) but now they (but especially PB) seem to hate eachother

I think the Lich letting them go is a result of him finally seeing the planned obsolescence of his existence. He kills things and that's it. If there's nothing to kill, he just stops. When he arrived in that world, he probably just popped into that skull cave and stopped, with only BMO to check in and braid his beard. He probably could kill Simon and the girls, but then what? Wait until someone killable maybe shows up again? Then why do it at all? This show really is all about the 10 different ways your existence could be made pointless, isn't it?

I’ll never forgive them for leaving a baby Finn in a vampire world in a destroyed tank

Man it’s sad what happened to Martin, a universe where he was a genuinely nice guy and loves his son and he paid the price

I see Fiona's situation as similar to Subaru's from Re:Zero. The two are normal people who felt useless and unachieved in their normal world who, after accidentally being thrown into a new world of fantasy and magic, see an opportunity to be something more and live an adventure, only to end up having a reality check and realize that this new reality is much more dangerous and difficult than they expected, with real and frightening consequences.

You can actually see the crown in the damaged drum set before it’s revealed that fionna snagged it. When I saw it I was like “GRAB IT DUDE!”. That was amazing foreshadowing that you could easily spot

Seeing Marceline kill a decent version of Martin really hurt. But I guess we needed to how horrible it could be if she were an actual villain.

I was hoping for more chemistry between marshal and Gary before they kissed but it’s cute. These past 2 episodes were once again amazing. Seeing Marcy being evil as a follower of the vampire king was pretty cool and seeing Martin act like a really nice guy was shocking. Jerry being the Lich was something i expected the moment BMO said everyone turned to skeletons after Jerry showed up who was the Lich from the original series who made the wish to kill all life which is the gag of the episode.

personally i think that the reason why golbetty was able to create a portal to simon was because of the crown. Betty's wish with the crown was the power to 'keep simon safe'. since Betty saw the ice king as the death of simon in the show, the act of simon putting on another wishing crown would probably be what gave her the power to teleport him.

I think you misunderstood. The lich was stuck in a universe where everyone is dead for years while the lich we see in the after life is seeing a constant place of life with the reincarnation. While he accomplished the goal he has nothing going for him and the years alone is wearing him down with BMO being his only company. Also, I think it more imply that the memory of Simon had before trying to put on the crown supercharge the ritual to go to Betty now

It was pointed out on Tumblr that Simon has white eyes in all the flashbacks to his and Betty's relationship, even though in a couple of pictures of him from before the crown, he has the normal black eyes, and that maybe being an indication of an unreliable image of events. In both directions--Simon idealizing his and Betty's relationship developments because it was a thousand years ago and he misses her desperately, and Simon maybe also putting his own good qualities down. He doesn't even consider that the difference between normal Marceline and the Star was HIM until Fionna points it out.

Honestly I just think the Lich just realized how unfulfilling ending all life is, I mean he ended all life and had about twenty years to reflect on how boring it is to acconplish his dreams all at once, so thats maybe why this lich didn't end the gang the moment they appeared

Is everyone gonna ignore the Cosmic Owl is a wanted criminal now when Scarab got the new case

The thumbnail "make it gayer" is most classic Sarcastic Chorus thing Chorus has done

I didnt really get enemies to lovers for this universe of PB and Marceline. They seemed to be flat out enemies, contrasted by Fionna's world Gary and Marshal

So something that was brought up in a few different videos was Simon's "why would I." Which some have seen as Simin not being willing to make sacrifices for Betty. For me though, i see as a representation of how different their characters are. Where Simon was cautious and pragmatic, Betty was spontaneous and a little reckless. Of course Simon didn't get on that bus, that's crazy. Who decides to go live with someone in a different country for 6 months after just confessing. Even when compared with what Betty did, which was a less than week long expedition with a colleague, that's insane. I find this is demonstrated best in their confessions and Simon's response to Betty's. "You need to be careful where and who you leave letters." Yes, it was cute and romantic, but it was pure luck that Simon didn't miss it. I think this episode really highlights what was wrong with their relationship. Being with Betty made Somon a little more spontaneous and reckless. It made him a better person. Being with Simon didn't do that for Betty. It didn't help her be more pragmatic and cautious, it made her more reckless. Simon did do crazy things for Betty, even before this show. Biggest things i can think of is her main introduction. Man is willing to rip through space and time just to give each other closure and then, when she does something even more spontaneous and reckless, gives up the chance to die as himself so that she could try and save him. They're both crazy for each other. Its just that Betty is even more so and since in the past it kind of lined up with her personality, Simon didn't see it as bad, he saw it as Betty. And what's worse is that Betty almost got there, twice. Before the Elemental stuff she was ready to give up going to the next extreme to get Simon back and just try and be happy with Ice King, making his life a little easier. Then she almost got that she maybe gave too much up for Simon, begire doubling down harder and bringing Normal Man back into her crazy. Writing this all out has given me a theory of why she was always doing this. Because in the past her reckless, impulsive, spontaneous behavior always worked out. She got to go on an expedition to find a magical artifact. She didn't get sick or got leaches walking into a river. She didn't get bitten by snakes. Her romcom letter in a book confession got her the guy. It wasn't until later that consequences started happening. She jokingly suggests Simon put on the crown. She jumps through a time portal without thinking and now she's in magic land needing to bring back her loves madness so she doesn't have to watch him die. Snd then she goes to extreme to next extreme eithout someone, pethaps someone who's pragmatic and cautious, telling her she's going too far. Because we know from A.I. Betty that she would have listened to Simon telling her she needs to stop. Man these guys are tragic and i wrote way too much.

how amazing this show has been almost feels surreal, like i can’t believe we get to see these grown up adventure time-y stories and how desperately heartbreaking they are, and how beautifully it’s animated. I think the phrase “grown up with its audience” is so overused for things that are just returning in another form but for this it feels so accurate. I was 13ish when Adventure Time came out, I’m 27 now and those last two episodes shook me to a whole new level, maybe it’s how i felt when i saw Come Along With Me for the first time, but who knows, it feels so long ago that i just feel lucky to experience it again now.

For the Lich, you forget Simon's comment of the Lich "seems really depressed". Likewise, the Lich doesn't say that he's different now specifically, just that "in olden days"; i.e. when life still existed. It's possible that the Lich has become depressed upon finally achieving his goal now that there's nothing he can do, and that he realised what killing Simon, Fionna and Cake would mean; going back to having no purpose, which is why he couldn't be bothered to kill them. He got the Monkey's Paw like Prismo said, he got what he wished for but it's came at an ironic twist to show that it's not what it's cracked up to be - which also reflects with Fionna and her wish for magic and adventure but finding out it's not quite she hoped it was, and well as with Simon being devoid of purpose to the point he is willing to sacrifice himself to end it. But who knows, maybe in the next episodes he realises the infinite multiverse means he can continue to end life forever and goes world-hopping.

I'm not the only one who openly jumped and screamed "YES!!" when Marshal and PB kissed right?

Slight obvious thing you didn't comment a lot on - the whole journey, Simon's effectively being told by every universe how bad his idea is. It was most obvious in the Vampire universe, where he gets a DIRECT reality check of how his absence is the one thing that caused said universe to happen, and how HE MATTERS.

Not sure if you’ve seen Bluey, but I can’t get over the fact that Orbo is voiced by the same guy as Bandit Freaking Heeler. 😂

I noticed the suits Gary and Marshall were wearing is a direct reference to the suits they wore in an adventure time comic

It's so ironic how Simon got the spell to work the way he wanted earlier when he summoned Fionna and Cake. Also, it feels catharsis that the Lich is depressed like other people in the show.

Every time I feel like Fionna and Cake can't get any better, it tops itself. Episodes 7 & 8 were the two best episodes of the show so far. They just continue to blast grand slams out of the park. I really hope the final two episodes can live up to what came before it.

Okay but the thing about adventure time is it doesn't come back the same. It truly ages with its audience, and twlls new stories.

I think that the Lich acting as he does has little to do with Betty being the new boss and more to do with the Lich finally succeeding in his quest to destroy all life... and finding it utterly meaningless. After God knows how many centuries after destroying the world, he's probably so depressed (like the series says) that he finds no reason why he should continue killing. He's basically the dog who manages to bite his own tail. And now he doesn't know what to do with it. It would also fit the series theme of what you want (Simon becoming the Ice King or seeing Betty again and Fionna wanting to return magic to her world) not being what you actually need.

This series is SO AMAZING!!! The art of each world is so beautiful and the characters are amazing and I need more!!

I personally think that Fionna and Cake's "Glitchy nature" as you called it has something to do with GOLBetty itself rather than Multiverse stuff. That last clip you showed, where Ice King is going back to being Simon and Magic Betty turns back to just Betty, they glitch out in a way similar fashion, less effects, but might be just a change in style after so long. I feel like Simon's ritual at the beggining infused a little of GOLBetty's mojo into Fionna and Cake.

Ice king suddenly turns into skeleton for a few frame actually jumpscared me lol.

10:32 most people noticed it but Ice king really recorded multiple tapes for the same thing since his crown was still in the drum

Good Martin getting killed made me soo angry man dude could have raised baby Finn in that verse.

Gary and Marshall are canon, that's what I'm gonna focus on in the end of the episode. Not Bubbleline falling to their deaths

PB's rebel look reminds me of Candace in that one Phineas and Ferb movie

You bringing up Fionna's fear of change got me wondering if "Not Myself" is going to come back/have a deeper meaning in the next two episodes

You know what is quite curious? I wonder if our Simon isn't an anomaly, from what we've seen so far there's no universe in which he and Marceline have managed to be together. Farmworld Simon died when Marceline was young, Winter King Marceline presumably also died, Vampire World Simon never met Marceline, Lich King Simon and Marceline died. Only our Simon can live with Marceline and temporarily get his Betty back. And this anomaly was caused by Golb's summoning in the final season, meaning that it seems all the Simons are destined to be alone, with our Simon being the only exception so far due to tge fact Golb and Prismo have directly/indirectly interfered in his destiny. Apart from that, the story of our current Simon literally mirrors the same as the tale of the Magic Man.

This series is awesome! They feed us so well!🎉🎉🎉🎉❤❤❤❤

Fionna and Cake was actually Bubbliene fanfiction all along.

Can't wait for Betty to meet her little husband and try and turn him into a god so they can be together for all eternity

It's honestly astounding how, so far, Adventure Time just hasn't missed, generally speaking, even after changing hands. It seems like the current show runners are careful and know to pace the series, not diving too hard or committing to any long running spin-offs, at least for now. Good writing, fan service maybe just a smidge gratuitous but not hardly bad, low quality, or over done (Definitely not tired of Bubbline and Fintress yet.), yep, still astounded. At this rate, AT will go down in history as a legend of animation, up there with Avatar, The Simpsons, South Park, and others who have been lucky to run as long as they have and still have a well, fondly remembered legacy. Honestly, it's amazing how the land of Ooo, with how weird and creative it is, still feels like it has nigh infinite potential to explore more stories and ideas. They could keep showing us Finn and co's. journeys as time moves forward and they age, or give us a brand new cast of characters, with cameos from old friends, and with this level of quality I'd still be on board. At this point, I think all I could really ask for is one really good AT video game. This teams writing, a dev team with experience who's allowed to cook and take all the time they need for quality assurance, and tons of content and both familiar and new crazy areas to explore and play and fight around in with a ton of creative enemies and overall content that'll takes somewhere between tens to hundreds of hours to complete (Maybe higher end of 50 hours but lower than 70+), and I'm sold.

My interpretation of Jerry is that as a scholar of Golb, the Lich causes mass death to spread Golb's nature as a being of chaos and discord. But after killing everyone he realized the Extinct World is one of complete stagnation and stillness, basically near-perfect order. So realizing his life's mission basically resulted in the opposite of what his god is broke him

I was actually thinking about this. Prismo couldn't put Fiona and Cakes Universe in his head anymore. Betty's wish was for Simon to be safe. I think the Betty statute in his head prevented the crown from ever working on him. I think in the next episode the statue might come for Cake. I have a feeling if Cake touches someone they're going to turn back into their Ooo equivalent since she is magic now thanks to Prismo. The following the story of everybody's favorite boys I think they're going to get changed.

I feel like I’m the only one who took ep 8’s last scene as Simon doing the exact opposite he did in episode 2. He wants to send F and C back, but at the last moment, he’s reminded of Betty and thinks of her- finally opening the portal to Golbetty.

The adventure encyclopedia has the exact same picture as the one in that episode where Simon gets out with the enchiridion keep in mind the book was written 7+ years before this episode the absolute attention to detail they put onto this show with the adventure time lore is insane

Seriously, I'm waiting with as much hype your analyzes than the episodes! It makes me love the show even more! And there is so much going on in this 10 episodes that it's hard to grasp everything on the first watch, so you always surprise me with one of your point in a "Oh my god yes! He's 100% right!" way

I wonder if Hundson ate her fries in this universe lol

Can we talk about how baby finn get stuck in the vampire world and he probably grow to do a castelvania reference?

Thanks for the video. I've been waiting for this video

I was waiting for this thxxx

Why was BMO's death the cutest, funniest thing ever? "HAHAHAHAHA :)))))) .... whoops" I couldn't help but lol

Oh my God, they left baby Finn in the vampire world. 😢

It’s been confirmed by creators that the crown doesn’t affect magical beings; that’s why Jake was able to wear it in the episode “Thank you”

I never really was a big fan of fionna and cake but this series is amazing. So well done and inspiring.

Guess I'm one of the few people who thought the Gary/Marshall kiss felt...sudden. Like, no big confession, no talk between them...I was a little underwhelmed.

I think the reason gold Betty interfered at the moment she did is because he was about to put on the Crown more so. Cause this whole time he's been going universe hopping and not really ever finding a crown with no damage/hard obstacle to over come to get it. The Jerry universe had it easy to grab and ready to use, so this made her come grab Simon because of how she tried so hard to get him to return to normal just for him to undo and undermine her sacrifice

Seeing huntress Wizard as a human only confirmed that FA Finn hooked up with his version of HW.

I love watching things like this bro because its just random people who go out and ramble about shows or things they enjoy and I think its really cool.

Bethgolb: Bro Lich, time to chill out. Quit killing everyone. Lich: uhhhh... well about that

Although without Simon she was an obvious villain, Marceline seemed genuinely happy with the Vampire King, and he seemed to have a lot of genuine care for Marcy. Simon in episode 2 he said Marceline would thrive without him, he wasn’t entirely wrong…

Yo when Sarcastic Chorus confirms youre gonna be well fed with content in the coming days/weeks.👌

I’m a millennial, a shop steward and a safety captain for a federal job, I feel for Scarab SO MUCH. Man is just trying to do his job while every body around is just slacking. The problems that are going unaddressed are going to lead to some serious fall out but no body is taking him seriously and are taking side based on likability. Too relatable 😢

I wasn't a fan of Bonnie's buzz cut but I like the way they styled her and the one eye. Just me personally would have loved to see a short messy cut maybe pixie cut like. I loved Marcy's outfits. The Vampire Universe was very interesting I loved it. I wonder if tank peppermint will protect baby finn and he'll grow up to be a vampire hunter or will he get sent back to his proper universe I think it's the former from the intro we see what may be a toddler/young finn running through the vampire universe

Everyone keeps forgetting Marshalee mother is actually his dad

Literally waiting for this video to come out

I cried so hard when Fionna and Cake were fighting. Like dude, it's so much reletable what the heck :|

I hope we get conclusions for all these alternate worlds. Like what happens to poor baby finn, he just got left in the tank

It's incredible how Fiona and cake just never miss. Like even though the first two episodes were the weakest they're still LEAGUES ahead.

Everyone's talking about Garshall (Marshall X Gary ship) and the OG Lich. But I still want to know what happened to baby Finn. We know all people are dead now, so what happened to him. He stayed in the tank training/playing. Oh gosh I think he's dead.

The most terrifying The Lich has been and he essentially won in this universe but he's without purpose now and he's in depress mode. Interesting how The Lich behaves in a very machine-like manner, always yearning to fulfill their task, and after accomplishing it they just, shut down until something happens

Is no one going to talk about how baby Finn Is just stranded in a universe with deadly vampires

they fr did a kiss speedrun and I’m not complaining, I was on Pinterest and the first pin I see was the pic of them kissing lmao I ran for my iPad to watch the new eps

I watched this a couple days late and IT STILL FEELS TOO LONG I CANT WAIT FOR THE NEXT EPISODE

Ayyy, I was wondering when this video would be out!

I just love thinking about how the alternate universes are born from wishes, like we saw in the original series, so it’s like.. who made the wish that made the Winter King? Did an ice king wish to be like Bubblegum? Did a bubblegum wish for ice king to be sane? I kinda lean towards the latter bc, like we saw with Farm World, Prismo’s wish universes come with ironic twists, like jake becoming the new Lich after being exposed to the nuclear explosion- so if bubblegum wished for ice king to be sane, having that wish come with the twist that she would be the new version of ice king. And for the Lich’s wish (pre-jake-wishing-to-change-lich’s-wish) giving him a world to obliterate, leading him to have no purpose for the rest of time. So who wished for the vampire apocalypse universe? Possibly VK, but where’s the ironic twist in that?

Huh, surprised you didn’t go into how the Huntress wizard in the vampire universe has the same eyes and hair as the kid from the farm world.

the Star was my favorite episode so far, i am literally going to burn every frame into my mind

I was waiting for your review lol

My theory on why the lich let the gang live is just cause he knows they’ll die on their own since there’s no food or water

My theory differs a little bit, I don't think Golb gives direct orders to their subjects like a DND god, I feel like it's more like this: -Golb is a god of chaos -in a world full of life, life going on is the natural order, perpetuating itself for all time. -the litch sees life as orderly, and therefore causes death on a massive scale to shake things up for his patron diety. -in this universe where he succeeds, and is forced to sit with what he's done, death is the norm, death is order. There is no life which can be perpetuated. -when he witnesses life again, the ice wizard being effectively reborn from his impossible, death filled existence, this is chaotic to him. Its a shake up of the norm. -therefore he lets them live, to mix up the new natural order as they see fit, as that's what he, the last scholar of a god of chaos, would want vicariously.

I like to think of the lich as really depressed. After killing all life he mightve realised how pointless it all was. You killed all life, ok, now what? Maybe his time in this universe made him think about what he did.and he may just not care anymore. Maybe he is going through some kind of crisis? Is this really what he wanted?

I was waiting for this and then it dropped when i was playing

I'm surprised there wasn't any mention of how they left baby Finn in the Star's universe to be raised by peppermint tank. Also will he glitch thing in to baby stuff like Fiona and Cake demagic things 🤔

When Fionna gets home she’s gunna be retramatized by her alarm clock

Ngl I can’t be the only one after episode 7 to feel that it wasn’t a “enemies to lovers” vibe but more of a “they just despise each other more than anyone else” vibe right?

My only nitpick is how ridiculously fast Gary and Marshall ended up together. Like, they don't even know each other for more than 24 hours.

i love how fionna and cake add to adventure time's lore while not making you need to watch it to understand everything in adventure time.

A friend of mine had the idea that Curses are unable to stack on top of each other, or at least curses of a certain variety. So since Vampirism is already a curse that massively effects the body and mind, perhaps the Crown can’t add onto that and simply grants the powers alone

In terms of the "Big Boss" they could be a middle ground from pPrismo and orbo's slacker natures and Scarab's adherence to the rules as a whole; which may be why they allowed scarab to continue pursuing them because "just because Prismo's likeable doesn't excuse his violation"

8:04 also, he's voiced by Dave McCormack from bluey. Bandit is a bowling ball and that is absolutely perfect.

Did... did they just leave baby finn in a tank, alone? In a world full of blood sucking vampires?

Seeing the Lich that made the wish was a big twist it means he won

If the environment reflects the world inside Simon head just imagine what happened to it when he was in the Jerry world

All I ask is, give me A universe where, Finn and flame princess ended up together.

I found this season to be super good. I mean, I thought that nothing would live up to episode 6 but dang. These 2 were bangers. For sure
