It is sad in a way, but also beautiful at the same time. Although we still want Finn and Jake adventures, change is inevitable and I hope we get to see some Shermy and Beth adventures in the future.

let's go in the garden you'll find something waiting right there where you left it lying upside-down when you finally find it you'll see that it's faded the underside is lighter when you turn it around everything stays right where you left it everything stays but it still changes ever so slightly daily & nightly in little ways but everything stays

Ooo WAS a colorless wasteland. Throughout the show, we witness several ruined human settlements from a catastrophic event.

Its ironic since in the adventure time series we are basically watching the post apocalypse after the destruction of the world by nuclear weapons ( the mushroom war )

I would find it crazy if Ooo DIDN'T change in 1000 years. Think about how much changed in the last century. Still sad to see what it changed too. But at some point disaster is bound to happen. However the city we see, and the machines outside are candy themed. Even the jets you can see outside have peppermint symbols on them. It seems that the candy people went to war, and so intense that war was that they have entered hibernation in a prizeball guardian. It is clear though that the candy people began utilizing human technology, perhaps because gingerbread isn't a fantastic building material. This leaves humanity's ultimate fate completely unknown, they could be extinct, they might've merged with the people of Ooo, they might've ascended to a higher plane of existence (perhaps a new mode of existence ey?), they could be completely fine in some other region (maybe even space). I would hazard a guess that the creators have not planned that out, but if they do bring humanity back they would have evacuated Ooo due to climate change and crumbling resources.

Or even beyond the earth. We do know they have access to space-tech at that point. Might be most humans have just left earth and OOO for other planets and distant lands.

Yeah. After all, the candy citizens seem gone too but they’re just in stasis.

The king of mars looks like a human so maybe the humans on mars evolved to the point where they forgot their own history.

@@fallatiuso Maybe they had the help of Moe, who’s consciousness was sent into space.

You make a really good point. I didn't even realize that a butterfly led bubble gum to her brother, but you're right. That's a great connection!

Really good theory

Shermy is definitely a peaceful and fun reincarnation rather than it being a world saving one i would assume

That’s a great theory, hang on lemme add to it. Remember when New Death decided to stop the bridge for souls to be reincarnated? What if time passed a little more quicker for Finn and Jake when they both reincarnated and their next forms are in fact Shermy and Beth? And because their reincarnations took so long it resulted in the way Ooo is now? A barren colorless dystopian wasteland with no hero to watch over it.

@@ed_Skynight I don't believe so! You see in the episode when Magic man was sent to trail for his crimes but decided to turn into jake, and vise versa, King of Mars went to the dead world to pick up Jake and return his soul in exchange for his own. Now let's put this into perspective and theorize that dead world moves so much slower than the alive one. for one thing it would be very symbolic due to the show's nature being about life lessons, and two, the King of Mars and Death and a conversation for about 10 to 20 seconds during his time in the dead world, but in live world, it was an instant flash were king of mars died, Glob was in shock, and jake came back in seconds. now we have no idea how long it took for king of mars to enter the dead world, however we knew that only the valkyrie can move between dead worlds, and the only entrance is down the escalator and being questioned by the gate keeper, so even if King of Mars can move through the worlds freely, it's highly unlikely that he can instant teleport to them, even then he had a conversation with death which took some time. now theorizing this, we can also deduce the fact that if time moves slowly in the dead world, since the bridge between life and death had newly appeared, Finn and Jake are the first ones in life for reincarnation. Now remember! In Finn and Jake are dead, new death did not ban reincarnation all together, in fact when Finn and Jake went to go see life she was still reincarnating new souls, it only burnt out when death finally got access to the 50th. also keep in mind that the candle used to see life was almost burnt out, with how tiny it is. now we can keep in mind if this is relevant or not considering the candle is completely magical and the flame is also magical. normal flame would have the candle wax melt between 15 to 10 min, however they only had a 3 min conversation with life, so either the candle burns really fast, or magical peppermint butler flame is too hot considering you can melt wax instantly depending on the heat. that's besides the point. but! since we've confirmed that during the mushroom war Finn has been through 3 reincarnation, and that's with nothing going wrong and things are moving as a normal, time moves slower than normal in the dead world, and Finn and Jake are the first ones in line to get reincarnated. It can be confirmed that they went through a reincarnation much earlier! than expected.

Very well said

A show like that would be awsome, its like a documentary about a fictional world. The main characters change from episode to episode, we only see slices of life, but we still can get a picture of something bigger

Exactly, the land of Ooo likely had times of prosperity and dark times decades or even centuries after Finn and Jake likely passed on. Shermy and Beth lived in a bleak time of Ooo but were living their lives together and when Shermy picked up Finn’s sword it implies a new era for the land of Ooo: the beginning of the legendary hero/adventurer Shermy and Beth the princess pup.

Yeah I see where you're coming from. I don't think Princess Bubblegum went to war with anybody. We see that the rainicorns have been at war in the past with the dogs, just those two parties. I think it was just a war between rainicorns and humans and Princess Bubblegum or any other third parties just couldn't do anything to avoid it. However, I do agree with you that the gloomy weather is a very obvious artistic choice, and the change in the magnetic poles could very well be possible.

The Ice-Thing's regression into a flying beard monster was probably related to this.

It could have happened after they died.

@@stephonmanny7555 Once again, considering her connections with both humans and rainicorns I doubt princess bubblegum would go to war to defend or attack either of them. Regardless of them being alive or not. But she would've tried to stop them as a mediator.

@@paxw37 I'm not saying that she went to war with anyone. I'm saying that if she saw a war happening between humans and rainicorns she would've intervened to avoid it but without taking any sides.

That’s what I thought too! I felt like ooo looking how it did was just another way of saying “time passes, things change, everything moves on.” It feels… almost peaceful

@@TheMetastasia I always forget that there’s space travel in adventure time! But you’re right that that’s a possibility

@@sammy-the-haze Everything stays, but it still changes

but that would be a LITERAL successor?

YES JUSTICE FOR SHERMY AND BETH They deserve there own show

That, and one that takes place during the mushroom war, as apart from the bomb itself we know nearly nothing about it

@@natebenham9603 true we basically only know Marcline and Simon lived through it with mutants and radioactive zombies everywhere

@@natebenham9603 yess and it could be about what happened to the humans and their struggles or about marcie and simons experience

Planet cores don't get irradiated during a nuclear war. Only the surface and atmosphere. Also, planets like earth already have natural radiation in their core due to uranium238 which is responsible for the molten core and the power source of the magnetic field.

Yeah that's true. We even see a space pup wedding in the Graybles 1000+ episode. So it seems space travel is very possible at this time

no more radiation around at the cost of magic, what a shame

Same. I can't wait till the Fionna and Cake series comes out.

It sucks knowing the magic from the first show can’t be remade, but I have full confidence in a spin-off.

I agree

@@paxw37 i mean, humans caused the mushroom war, so this seems like the most plausible theory. Humans did what they always have and tried to take over Ooo, only for all the inhabitents of Ooo going against that. Finn was the only thing stopping this war but after his death this scenario becomes a possibility. Also gives a reason why the candy people seem to be hibernating. PB put them there so that they would not be hurt in the war. Also, this could explain the weird inner circle of normal candy kindom and the human technology around it. Humans could have beaten PB, but eventually they were beaten by the doggocorn species(thats the name i give to the species that originated from jake and lady raincorn)

Good point, I didn't even realize that.

that means simon in some shape is still around not physically or spiritually but his memories are in the crowns circuitry still even tho its not him a bit of him is still in ooo 1000 years later

You actually bring up a pretty good point. The idea that humans brought technology but struggled to understand Ooo's magic makes a lot of sense, and it's interesting to think that Jake's descendants and other magical beings might have gained an advantage from this. And also how Finn is a unique exception to how humans normally are perceived. We even see Finn in the episode "The Chamber of Frozen Blades" learn how to use magic.

​@@paxw37 I think the rainacorn-dog-hybrids played a big part in the downfall. They grow up rapidly and all have incredibly powerfull magical abilities. They completely broke the Balance of power. (Imagin something like a tiny Island-nation turning into a global superpower over the course of 20 or so years, with nobody knowing who's side they are on) ontop of that, the entire Icekingdom basically got a new ruler. Something which hasn't happened in... well basically never... And we shouldn't forget that, when Iceking gave Gunther the crown to rebuild the icekingdom, he basically immediately used it to summon giant Snowserpants and when Gunther got his hands on the magic wishing eye, his first action was to take over EVERYTHING. So maybe not quite the guy who you want to put in charge of an entire kingdom. (We even see that the icekingdom is much bigger in the future, which might have also messed with the weather quite a lot. To top it all of, the humans have returned, bringing with them shiny new tech. The best way to end a civilisation is to give them some shiny new tech. Oh a machine that can turn black goo into power? Cool. Climat change? Never heared of it. AI that can solve all our problems for us? Yes please. What is a "Skynet"? Missiles that can win me a war at the press of a button. Of course I want some. Nuclear fallout? How bad could that possibly be? So now we have a rapidly changing geopolitical landscape, with things getting more and more tense as the rapidly changing climate forces nations to adapt, potentially causing conflicts over the limited resources of Ooo and everyone just got a pandoras box filled to the brimm with weapons of unimaginable massdeverstation. Btw something that definitely isn't to blame is the catalist comet, as it only hits earth every 1000 years and only 996 years have passed since the gum war.

I get what your saying about PB, and while she wasn’t very good and messed up a lot, I fully believe she wasn’t the cause for all this. For one thing, we can pretty easily assume PB moved in with marceline in the distant future. (By looking into obsidian & how peppermint seems to be taking care of the castle) and she’s changed a lot since the past. She seems a lot less controlling & everything from what we can tell in obsidian and other areas. Plus, all of her growth throughout the series in general. She just isn’t this huge controlling dictator anymore. Plus, it really seems she’s just moved into a simpler life. After all of her progress, I don’t think she’d do something so bad that it would come to this. It would just like, erase all her growth. To be honest, peppermint could’ve caused more trouble than PB seeming as he’s likely in control of the candy kingdom now lol. Ill probably edit this nicer later, but it really does seem unlikely she could cause the dystopian future.

@@madeleine1052good point about Peppermint Butler. Who knows what kind of leader he was and what dark magic mess he made? Or it could’ve been something else.

That could be true. I always wondered if those two universes were connected.

That is true, you bring up a good point. There are just very obviously different color palettes used in the main series compared to how we see Ooo in the future. Those colors being a lot more mute and de-saturated

Yeah, I agree.

Yeah, you bring up some good points. And you're probably right, they probably did just end up leaving. Either to space or back to the Hub Islands. Because we've seen them do that before like you say.

Yeah that's true. And if you think about, it's pretty hard for Minerva to die now

That's interesting. Could be. I wish we got more episodes of the future of Ooo

Yeah, that very well could be the case

Thank you so much! I really appreciate it!

Yeah Adventure Time is all about change

Wow, thank you so much!

Thank you bro!

@antonmakarenko3271 though it may be a pattern of the human's advancement causes them to nearly die, but this time it really backfired.

yeah I think many of them fled to space/other worlds; cubert stays in space, there are a lot of pup ppl in space (including what looks like a shuttle thing to take them up in the finale intro), shermy and beth talk to an alien princess, etc. I think whatever happened might not have killed everyone but drove most of them away--everything looks more abandoned than destroyed to me. sounds like a whack idea, but a lot of humans would totally run to space if they could / felt like they should

Thank you!!

Thank you!

Yeah maybe not extinct, but it definitely looked very desolate and barren, making it hard for any human to live there.

@@paxw37 for sure. Ive seen harsher settings with a thriving human populace. Very possible some made a return to the islands as things got worse because, well, they had a good life there.

That's a good theory, very well could be.

Will do! I've been planning to do some longer form videos in the future! Thank you!!!

Yeah this could be the case. I think someone pointed out that humans have a past of fleeing from chaos, like the original humans who went to the islands after fleeing from Ooo. So it's very possible that they are there again, or on some different island.

Interesting... that could be.

Sweet Pea was literally the Lich though right? He's still around, and look normal enough, so I doubt the Lich had anything to do with the world being what it is

Thank you!

@@paxw37 I also really liked the GOLB video you just made. So well done.

@@farexponent9173 Thank you so much! That really means a lot!

Yeah I'm almost positive that they will. Would love to see an entire episode or series just on them.

I also dislike the idea that they went to war AGAIN :(

Yeah that's fair, that totally could have happened. It's funny cause I just did a video about the future of the pups.

Yea but PB and Marcaline are in the future intro

he’s a bot. bro didn’t explain anything, just rambled the entire video. only reason i finished the video is because i’m drunk

Sorry was talking a little fast. Was talking about the Hub Island human's who came to Ooo at the end of the show.

I did say it really fast, but I meant his human buddies on the Hub Island

Thank you!

Thank you!!

I think I'm going to make a video breaking down all the easter eggs we see in the new intro

Yeah, it's from the series finale "Come Along With Me". We can see Sweet P at the end when Shermy and Beth leave BMO's house, but we can also seem him in the new intro sequence with Shermy and Beth. There's a shot of them riding Sweet P.

@@paxw37 right right it's from the series finale I forgot. I just kind of relate to him he was born out of evil then bullied and called a weird baby man and then glowed up to be an awesome giant ^_^

@@infinitestare Right? His character looks so cool! I hope we get to see more of giant Sweet P in the future. Maybe in the Fionna and Cake series, who knows.

That sounds very possible. I totally forgot to even mention the candy citizens inside the prize ball guardian. So that very well could be the case.

I mean that's a possibility. But we do see Shermy and Beth riding Sweet P in the intro, so I don't think he's bad. But you're right, maybe the Lich possessed him again.

it does feel like a pretty pb move to reject the change the comet will bring if it means the death of her people possibly building the guardian as a way to keep them safe and also look for a new habitabal place for her subjects to live in patience did survive the previous comit by freezing herself (and it could have happened again since we see her still frozen in the intro) so it wouldn't be completely unbelievable that pb managed to build something that effectively does the same thing

Hmmmm... could be

😂
