I found it incredibly interesting that while Bonnie made a mother, father and child, she didnt make them HER mother, father and sibling, but an Aunt, an Uncle and a cousin. She wanted family, but still made them detached from herself in a way.
"When the first candy people rose against her, she turned them into hideous monsters" HOLY SHIT the Banana Guard was talking about PBs family this entire time. of course its a simplified version but it makes sense as to why it would show Gumbald in prison. he basically was.
I think Aunt Lolly, Uncle Gumbald and cousin chicle were reflections of fragments of bonny's mind because she's wearing that mind thingie. Lolly representing her sweetness, Chicle representing her desire to be funny and widely loved. And Gumbald represents her general tyrant views. So i don't think Gumbald was ever "Copying" her rather, he is her, a part of her.
Bonnibel Bubblegum, one of the most complex and psychologically deep female characters in cartoon history. Definitely up there with Demona and Harley Quinn.
Natasha Jones not really since Harley is crazy and PB isn't really, i mean .... i could totally see a sane person act like her .... i act like her to an extent.
If you think about it the reason why PB found Finn "cute" and kept calling him so in the early seasons would be because Finn lacked intelligence when he was younger. He was a complete white knight for PB who never went against her, which is in line with how she micromanages the roles she assigns to her people as their jobs, spouses, and even dreams were all up to her in the early seasons. This also explains why she could never see anyone in a romantic light. She never had the opportunity to fantasize about romantic love as her ideals of familial love were shattered too early. Had Finn met a younger PB it might have been possible to change her outlook on love and loyalty, but as PB is now an adult she is far more resistant to change. As whenever she is met with new elements she only ever compromises after the fact. Her style is to break everything down to their simplest states and leaving only the bare minimum to continue to function. Like how she destroyed all but one fire giant, or how she allowed a voting session to take place, or how she leaves pills for all of her guests under the table, or how she allows suitors to line up outside her door, and the list goes on. This is very much in line with how she approached her powers. She leaves a last resort once she assures herself that it won't backfire and without letting any of them know that the last resort is ineffective against her. To PB everything in the world should be as predictable as the chemical reactions on her periodic table of candy. Any explosion or mutation can only really occur in a controlled environment. Emotions, memories, and convictions are all as pliable as... gum.
"How it feels to chew 5 gum" *princess bubblegum's clips of domination* This revelation made the whole "royal promise" so much sinister than a good thing.
It's also interesting how Uncle Gumbald says "Come on, Bonnie. Don't run away from happiness. I'm going to fix you." when he attempts to directly poison Bonnie with the dumbing potion when he has her cornered. It immediately reminded me of a moment in Elements Skyhooks when Finn asks Tower Bubblegum what she did to everyone and she answers "I fixed them, obviously." I might be reaching here but I think it's possible that Uncle Gumbald, Cousin Chicle, and Aunt Lolly aren't just PB's creations, but rather "copies" of herself in different physical forms with the ability to think for themselves. I'm not saying they're PB doubles, but rather they all just share the same goals and ambitions as Princess Bubblegum. In the episode, little Bonnie does say "I need to be around people like me." And we did see PB hook herself up to the machine to bring her family to life. This shows that there's a part of little Bonnie in her relatives. This seems strongly apparent in Uncle Gumbald's character like what you pointed out about UG copying PB. But idk with Cousin Chicle and Aunt Lolly's characters since there's not enough material yet to see what they're like. But anyway, this is just a thought lol. I'm really excited for the future episodes of Adventure Time and what they could bring to enrich the show. I'm also looking forward to your future reviews of those episodes.
Yes... your right. Uncle Gambald represents her general tyrant views, Aunt Lolly represente her sweet side and Cousin Chicle represents her desire to be funny.
Yeah, I'm hoping Pen Ward wraps it up in the end with the lore that's unfinished. maybe a lore book akin to the legend of zleda hyrule historia? Not sure but we can hope!
One underrated moment in this episode for me was when Gumbald threatened to dumdum Neddy right after Bonnie, and Bonnie said "Don't you dare hurt my brother!" She was more worried about her brother's safety than her own in that moment.
Man, when you said that thing about Bubblegum realizing that all her creations are destined to turn against her, well I don't know how to finish this sentence. I just found that a *very* interesting observation.
Another thought to add: all of her creations seem to be created from her own DNA. From the gum to the candy people (she calls them her children). Maybe it is because they represent her own tendencies, including megalomania and desire for control, that all her creations always revolt against her in a rather violent manner?
nah, the candy people werent made from her dna! they just choose to see her as mother. there was a goo converter, right? and it seemed to be filled with candy. SINCE then obviously she's been able to make the candy directly needed to synthesize life, such as with Lemongrab and Root Brer Guy. HOWEVER, Goliad was made from her DNA...
Natasha Jones that is exactly what i think, also ... idk about you but this episode makes the thing with the rattleballs and the fact that she is always spying on the candy people have a lot more sense, she is obviously afraid of a mess like the one we see in this episode, and the fact that Gumbald's candy city is the cause of the catastrophe that makes Oop deserted in 1000 years as we see in Lemonhope part 2, makes me think she might not only be afraid of them turning against her but the fate of all Ooo if that was to happen.
I would assume they'd all have to be in some way genetically related to her, there has to be some kind of genetic framework (or candy equivalent) for her to build on to create candy life and the only examples she has to build from is herself and her immediate family
I think Gumbald more than just a petty imitator. I think he is combination of PB's inner demons. A dark reflection of her. He is has her drive of power and superority. Doing everything to stay in control. PB always distinguished herself as a necesserary evil in a world of chaos, but I think that persona will trully shatter when she realizes she is just as bad as gumbald.
SuperWelsh93 tbh i think she is aware of their similarities since The Cooler when FP called her a bad person and she then tried to reason with her and both stopped spying on the candy people and started trusting Phoebe, this reminds me how she called Gumbald bad in this episode, even in the promo for this episode CN posted online they used that clip, so i assume she does not like being compared to him cause she does not mean any harm and wants people to see her as a friend more than anything, and tbh you can kind of see a parallel with how Gumbald treated PB in this episode and how PB treated FP in that episode, they treat them as just a kid who is beneath them and see their power as a threat to them.
nice catch. i found it surprisingly poignant when cartoon network posted that preview, because it's not as if the parallels between peebs in this ep and the dark stuff she did in the series is obvious to a casual viewer. it's something you have to think about and previews tend to Not Do That.
no. those were relatives that got retconned out of existence; similar to marcelines portraits. making the concept of royalty 1 dimensional. shes not a princess or a royal.
Beesmerelda I don't think any villain ever created is as evil as the Lich. However creating an entire civilization to worship you and intentionally dumbing them down so they don't oppose you is pretty evil
Beesmerelda It's all very science fiction in the premise. A lot of utopian sci fi societies are like this, and they're not always portrayed as villains(in good series that is) but just as having questionable ethics. I would still classify that as villainy especially when it's done for selfish reasons
I would say she's more amoral than outright evil. And she's been taking steps away from that amorality. She just wants to do science and doesn't really weigh in if something is good or bad.
yeah id say she's compassionate without morality. so she'll follow her compassionate instincts but wont follow any other moral guidelines, cos i guess she didnt have any for most of her life. basically, as soon as you lose her compassion, you're fucked - she'll do anything to you. that's what makes her so scary to her enemies, cos they know if she doesnt like you there's nothing stopping her from stringing you up sideways. at the times where bubblegum has strayed darkest, it's been when her general compassionate nature has waned. if she loses *that* side to herself, she's no different from a villain.
Kieran JSL tbh thoose are some of my favorite episodes, i mean .... Bonnibel Bubblegum is already my favorite episode and Stakes is my favorite miniseries
We've actually been given a piece of the script for Hunson and Marcy which I thought was quite interesting. Especially since it links back to the whole 'Ghosts and vampires being like rock, paper, scissors' thing from Heat Signature in that one script. (And it might include peppermint butler!) From what I can tell, the episode will have Marcy and her dad (and apparently Finn) talking while doing some dungeon type thing which isn't important, and were gonna get a lot of backstory flashbacks that explain what happened between simon leaving Marcy and Hunson eating her fries. (And probably some stuff about her mum :3)
I somewhat disagree with your statement about how all of her attempts at intelligent creations failed. I feel like evidence suggests that she's already moving away from making her citizens docile. Just look at that one banana guard. He has a different voice from all the others, and (though they all have talents) he seems to have a deeper understanding and awareness of history and his current situations than the other guards. Actually, over the course of the series, it seems like we're being introduced to more and more intelligent candy people. Which makes sense, given her evolution as a character.
That Banana guard thing is irrelevant, he's just as dumb as the rest...he just has a talent (like most of 'em). And he's probably the same Banana Guard from "Apple Wedding" who had a similar voice. Why didn't you choose someone like Peppermint Butler one of the actually smart candy citizens?
i think that's sort of the point, yeah! the candy people are people. many people are really dumb or stubborn, but many are also really smart, and only by letting them develop can we see their different characteristics. the princess's issues dont seem to be born by candy people's stupidity so much as their.... stubbornness. their people-traits. theres literally no difference between them voting KoO and the US voting trump - they both wanted to do something different for the sake of being different.
Kushrada tbh i think thoose gumball gusrdians were not set up by Bonnie, i am 100% Gumbald set them up cause he took over the candy kingdom, destroyed it and also destroyed all the other kingdoms in Ooo to start building his candy city, he used the super gumball guardians to get the candy people out of the way when he started building his massive empire but he was not able to finish his plans, he was stopped and PB either did not know how to fix the gumball guardians or she died.
Nicole Sands they are just as dumb as the others, i mean ... probably peppermint Buttler is an exception, but banana guard 16 just had a talent and had more of a complex personality than the rest, but other than that he was still dumb.
Lemongrab's story seems to relate to this, too. He was claimed to be the first in line of succession for being her first creation, but it looks like he might be the first after her "family"? First, she tries to create life that's similar to her, and they backstab her. Then, she tries to create life that's different. She fails, as he ends up mentally broken. So, she creates life that's like her, but not smart enough to backstab her.
I know Gumbald has been pretty seedy, but you can't blame him for wanting to make something of his own. That's what I liked about this episode; it wasn't generic good guy vs bad guy conflict, but political conflict driven by a need for power from both Gumbald and Bonnibel. This is a good episode to help close the series.
I think one interesting aspect on the taffy trees is that the actual event that occurred, as seen in this episode, differs slightly from what PB claimed happened in susan strong. in that episode, there were much more trees that got chopped down and they were much further from where the actual trees were in this episode. while that could have been a minor oversight, I sorta get the impression that PB made up this glorified history of what her uncle was actually like, since the true story would probably freak some of the candy people out. I certainly don't think she'd be behind masking darker elements of her past like that!
there are actually the same number of trees if you count. another explanation is the castle's position was slowly shifted over time because the tree was raised from the ground.
Kazuma Kiryu not really, since PB creates candy people differently, not from other existing beings. So it is not really scary, Gumbald's idea is scary though.
I'm surprised no one has said anything about how PB's crown looks just like the device that she used to create her "family." This could be symbolic of her role as a leader, as every citizen she creates is by her design, just like the others were.
Bonnie's line in Lady and Pebbles "I know a thing or two about building a body out of biomass and you don't leave your heart exposed" I think applies to herself as well, she is un-open to love because she locked her heart away because of Gumbald's betrayal, she pushes away any loving connection, including Marceline, Finn and Brocco.
I think it's easy to perceive bubblegum's deviation on Gumbald's plans as a ploy to maintain a sense of control, and to think of them as lesser to her, but she also calls them her family, and that is what I thought was meant to be the primary conflict of this episode. Bonnie just wants a family, while Gumbald wants a business. Even in that clip, she says the candy people are like her children. They're dumber than her because she wants to take care of them, not take advantage of them like Gumbald would.
There is something interesting about the candy Sphinx creature I forget what its name was. And I began to notice it in all of her creations. Not just because they are all part candy and she is the candy Elemental. I get the feeling that she's not metaphorically but quite literally putting parts of herself into all of these citizens every candy being out there. And part of the reason it hurts so much to see everything go bad for her and why she so desperately wants to dumb it all down is because they really do have a part of her in them. They want to be in control and they want to rule. The first words out of her mouth when the candy stinks went bad and she was made aware... "I was afraid of this" She saw it coming. She knows she has problems but there's some level of cognitive dissidents, she doesn't want to acknowledge that she is tyrannical even though she knows it. Every time one of her Creations goes bad, she's forced to look into the mirror and see that she is the problem.
Mother gum still exists, their still alive. In the adventure time Explore The Dungeon you meet a large mother gum at the end And Pb explains why she could break off from them.
but doesnt that mother gum "die" at end? like, it is the final boss, and finn slays it thinking that the mother gum was trying to hurt pb. well, it turned into lots of bubbles that could talk...
Explore the Dungeon Because I Don't Know is for sure canon Ward himself made a big deal about the reveals and wrote those himself, the other game is not.
cannon, or not, we have no info about the mother gum other than that. so until the show ever says or shows anything to make the game not cannon, the end can be considered cannon.
The beginning of this episode is very reminiscent of Rey's introduction in The Force Awakens. A scavenger with her face covered navigating the wreckage of an aircraft from a previous war? Yeah
I too love all the implications this episode provides. What I'm most curious about is how the Earl of Lemongrab plays into all this. For the longest time I could have sworn Bubblegum said he was the first of her creations. I just rewatched his backstory, and I was mistaken; he was the first of her creations *to go wrong.* Ok, so cancel that. But why is he next in line to the throne? He must have been one of her earliest attempts at making a Candy Person, if not the first one post-Gumbald's betrayal. I think something that lends credence to this is the fact that if you look at Bubblegum creating him, the life serum she uses look suspiciously like the dumb dumb juice. Same sort of faded red but not quite pink. Maybe she had second thoughts about making all her citizens dummies and wanted her first attempt to be a sort of compromise. The "failure" of Lemongrab would have cemented her original decision. So Lemongrab would be in line for the throne because he was the first Candy Person Bonnie created AS a Candy Person, the original trio not counting.
I don't think that's true though. Bubblegum's attitude towards Lemongrab suggests she sees him as "broken." If she did see him that way, she definitely didn't after he came to life.
The more I continue to watch your reviews and discussions about these shows that I love, the more I know you'd love Bojack Horseman if you got past the first few episodes and finished season 1. Steven universe had that same problem of being not that good of a show at the start, but both make amazing turns for the better. Bojack is so amazing, and I want you to experience all the joy, sadness and depth that show has to offer.
If I remember right, they actually go into what happened to the Mother Gum in one of the video games, Pendelton Ward has also confirmed that the game in question is canon
I know that the Season 6 croak dream pretty much already came to fruition, but I feel like this episode gave more layers to that dream. I'm specifically referring to when Bonnie is swallowed up by the Butterscotch lake, and instead of being a visual symbol it also takes on new meaning after learning she created it to ensure the future of her kingdom. It's really a simple way of showing her actions to remain in power coming back to bite her and ultimately consuming her. Now that Gumbald's connection to the lake's creation has been revealed, it wouldn't surprise me if this was some sort of extension of the original croak dream. After all Jake had his 3 seasons before it came to fruition, and even though I'm pretty sure PB's dream was specifically linked to the season 6 finale, I could see themes from that premonition being carried over into this final arc.
My thoughts were always that bc Neddie had such a scary fall from the mother gum, all the others became too afraid to drop, which would make the darker option of them all dying away where they were born more plausible. After all, we know Bonnie has lived for ages upon ages, I feel like if even one of them had also split, they would have run into each other at some point in time. Marcy had time to be in a relationship with Bonnie, break up, travel the world, and return! So another gum sibling who also split would've had time to find Bonnie and Neddie. Because the implication is that Bonnie was the very first one to drop, any others who wanted to would have known about her existence already. I also always thought that she literally manufactured her gum relatives, but now that you say it, it makes sense that she might've used her dead relatives to create them, bc she tells Finn "he was the first of my creations gone wrong" regarding Lemongrab. So maybe she really did use her dead relatives
Oh my glob, I loved these episodes so much! There were so many easter eggs that referenced small details from very early episodes that I just absolutely adored. This was definitely my favorite from the set of episodes that they released recently.
I love i am not the only one who realized Bonnie's fear of her creations always turning against her and resulting in a mess again makes a lot of sense and i love how you noticed all the callbacks too but you actually forgot one .... in Lemonhope part 2 we actually get to see Gumbald's candy city and ships with a G on them, meaning Gumbald is the one responsible for the catastrophe in Ooo that will make ot deserted in 1000 years.
I love how the gas station was such an important part of the story without even being obvious until later in the series, and even afterwards in the “finisher spin-off” for the plot holes or missing history (separate from the plot holes). Marceline and her mother had been to that gas station probably around the same time as PB, making them closer in age than I originally thought (because PB’s Mother Gum most likely came into existence shortly after the War, and PB was born from it shortly after). I wish the Obsidian spin-off shows what happened to all the original Gums and if they still exist in their own cities around the globe. Would be great.
Nahh, PB wasn't born until like 170 years after that scene took place (she spent a long time in the mother gum). She's around 830 in the finale. It was also a different gas station.
@@tipsy634 they’re still much closer in age lol. I know she was not IMMEDIATELY born after the war, since there were sooooooooo many dead and dying humans (probably from malnutrition, radiation poisoning, and other contributing factors). But less than 200 years is still pretty close, since it’s only about 4 to 6 generations.
@@partysuvius that is fair enough. Yep! PB's age was first revealed in Explore the Dungeon because I Don't Know, but it wasn't given any indicator in the show until this episode. She could've been 300 years old or 1000 years old as far as the audience knew, but this ep more accurately says "around 800".
@@tipsy634 i wouldn’t be surprised with the mixture of real and fake physics and science mixing in AT, that PB would be aging like real gum. Very very slowed down compared to humans.
YASSSS I LIVE FOR YOUR REVIEWS. It makes Adventure Time 1000 times more enjoyable than it already is. You should make an unofficial adventure time guide/philosophy of adventure time or something like that, I"m sure that would be subject to copyright but I'd buy it for sure. haha. :) OR maybe a full LORE/Story review tieing everyhting together in chronological order, thanks ELK you rock!
We do see crunchy again in the future, episode Graybels 1000 plus, when cuber uses a candy capsule to block the laser gun. Crunchy wakes up and asks “ what time is it”? That must mean at least cousin chicle was reverted to candy form. I feel like the 3 relatives split up and all went their separate ways after LSP reverted them to gum form. I don’t think they feel happy or safe near uncle gumbald after what he did. Though we do see a city/ apartments in Lemonhope part 2 that uncle gumbald always wanted to build. I wonder what the tragic future holds?
Anyone else kinda surprised that all candy people live forever? I thought she just kept making more candy people as old ones get old but apparently at least crunchy, punchy and the piñata have been around for ‘like 800 years’. Kinda weird
Can we please take a moment to admire the incredible 'Tank Girl' reference at the start of the flashback. Great review as always man - loving this channel!
I want to ask you one question on this episode's ending. Do you think they missed an opportunity to make Uncle Gumbald the one to become Crunchy? I mean it just seems like the better connection than him becoming Punchy. We have spent more time getting to know Crunchy. Like you said he tried to take over the candy kingdom twice. On top of that it would make the missing poster of Crunchy seen on the wall in “Son of Rap Bear” all the more foreshadowing. Yeah it is still foreshadowing that Crunchy is no longer Crunchy, and that Bonnibel’s relatives are back, but since Gumbald is the one of the 3 relatives we know it just feels like they set up the wrong person becoming Crunchy. Crunchy was even the candy person Bonnibel used to try and get Lemongrab to understand candy people. Which makes sense, considering she probably based the other candy people on the mindset of Manfried, Punchy, and Crunchy, but would have had more meaning if the final villian was PB’s version of the ideal candy person. Unless Chicle turns out to be a bigger villain than Gumbald… which I doubt. Let me know what you think curious about your thoughts on this.
I don't think it's necessarily a missed opportunity yet (especially if future episodes go into more detail on it), but it's an interesting choice. Crunchy would be the go-to for all the reasons you list, so I am curious why the creators chose a different candy person. It feels deliberate; I have a hard time making the assumption they just forgot about the things Crunchy has done.
Oh Damn. You've got a great point on the depth this brings to PB's character/psyche. I wonder if that's why she and Marcy broke up, or became casual, or whatever....PB was a bit of a control freak, and Marcy didn't have good experiences with those. It would make sense that PB would want to date someone who she felt safe with; who wouldn't betray her. Perhaps Marcy's rebellious nature enticed PB because it highlighted Marcy's Individuality. Simultaneously, Perhaps Marcy's rebellious nature reminded PB of her consistent betrayals by her children, and once friend shoko, as well as those of the surrounding kingdoms, and raiding guilds (as have been reoccurring from shoko's old guild to gunter, to ice king, to lemongrab, his eventual "twin", and even other princesses) Perhaps that's why she was open to dating fin when their bodies were of the same biological age. He wasn't someone who has or who would ever betray her. He even supports her when he's not entirely sure of the morality of the situation. He's also willing to ground her morally without stepping on her toes. He's capable and caring, yet competent as well, so that distinguishes him from the people she surrounds herself with. He's able to charmingly show his care for her, and can understand what she says. He might not be a scientist, but she can actually talk to him, and he'll retain some of the information and might ask questions about it. On the other hand, Marcy comes from a place of family pressure, and perhaps even family abuse (I'm not entirely sure how nightosphere/demon culture works). Her father took her fries when she was young, has caused devastation to the lands through soul sucking, and tried to brainwash her to become ruler of the nightosphere. She moved out from his home dimension, and changed their family symbol (The battle axe into an axe guitar) in rebellion of him and his values. Her mother seems to be out of the picture, meaning he had all the control of the family, likely for a long while through her later childhood/adolescence. Marceline seems to have lost many people in her life, despite her efforts to take care of them, including her stubborn father. Other examples include the people around her going insane (simon/ice king), people moving away (the Hyumans when they escaped on the boat in steaks), and having bunk friends (the ghosts who tried to kill fin and jake in early seasons, as well as her ex who sold her childhood doll hambo to a witch). Marcy also wants someone who makes her feel safe, but also self reliant. She likely wants to date someone she doesn't have to take care of. That's probably why she wanted to date the immortal, brilliant, *Princess* Bubblegum, who didn't report to anyone, and who had the ability and history to take care of herself and those around her. Perhaps Princess Bubblegum's controlling, and sometimes uptight, personality drove her away. I also suspect that having to take care of fin is one of the many reasons she didn't want to date fin. He's mortal, and the last time she dealt with humans, she had to protect an entire group of them from wicked strong vampires that were hunting them. All it would take is for fin to make one mistake, and get himself in too deep, which he has done before. Some of the time, fin gets out of situations through luck, such as with the hall of egress, or the time he manipulated flame princess to fight Ice King. She wouldn't get enough out of the relationship to justify taking care of someone who's species is considered prey by half of the creatures in the land of Ooo. Intersting....
As always ingeniously insightful and incredibly interesting. Every time a new deep episode comes out your videos are the first thing to come to mind and I wonder what you're going to say about it
One has to remember that despite its mediocricy, Adventure Time: Explore The Dungeon Because I DON'T KNOW! is actually still canon according to Pendelton Ward, so the mother gum still existed up until the moment Finn, Jake, Marceline and Cinnamon Bun found and seemingly slayed the mother gum. We know that the mother gum dispersed into tiny gum bubbles in the end. Unless before the end of the series this gets disproven by the series it will remain canon.
PB is truly one of the most fascinating characters ever. She’s not like Finn and Jake, wanting to be the righteous hero, and she’s not like Marceline, whose traumatic past is often reflected in her behavior. PB is so rational about things, she’s always thinking ahead, she’s always doing whatever it takes to stay in control and get what she wants. I don’t find her evil in the slightest, but I do think she carries more trauma in her than all of the other characters put together.
Dude I’ve just discovered ur videos, absolutely love your takes on everything. You’ve added so much depth to my favorite show that shaped a good part of my childhood and I feel like I’m finally able to access a bigger portion the complete story! Bout to binge ur channel, but just wanted to say how impressed I was with your analysis
I've always had some trouble with Princess Bubblegum's moral choices as well as her personality, but for the most part I've always let it slide. But after this episode... I kinda hate her. She actually made me angry here, although that's just personal reasons. I just hate what a hypocrite she is. She creates life, gives it an identity with independent thoughts, emotions and aspirations; basically what some people would call a soul. But she always expected them to be subservient to her, just because she made them. It's just another story of an arrogant person playing God. And when they turn against her and plan to lobotomize her, a plan that utterly horrifies her, she decides that it's okay for her to do it as well. Just create life you presumably love and respect, as long as it doesn't contradict you. That's like expecting your children to obey to your every command just because you made them; "you came out of my womb/dick; you don't get to think for yourself!". I just hate that mentality, and in general, people who strip away others from their individualism, specially if they actually use chemistry or surgery to accomplish it. I really have no respect left for Bonnie. However, I don't think she's a bad character, because I believe the series is trying to portray her as this. This isn't some amazing discovery I've made; the series pretty much spelled this out to me as well as the rest of the audience. Her character is very complex because of this, although I'm not sure whether the show expects us to sympathize with her plight or to despise her. I know that I do the latter.
She's a child with enough intelligence to create life. Also, she never really bothered to change her ways in 800 years, which is long enough for anyone to develop some maturity.
GUILLE832 She never had a reason to. The only person that had any significant impact on her life up until Finn was Marcy, and she was certainly not mature at that time
She spent then most of her life without interacting with practically anyone she couldn't directly control. Don't you think that might be an incentive for her to develop even more sociopathic tendencies?
GUILLE832 I dont think so, at least not now. She just needed control because that part of her life was chaotic, but it's not like she has an almost pathological need to be in control. That's just her line of thinking.
12:12 I love your point here! Because as PB's children,she has points when she can't control them,and she can't see their perspective, even when she spied on them.
Damn makes sense why gumballd is back. Love your analysis on PBs relationship with their people. Please continue to make videos when AT ends they're always so interesting
PBs gum family each have parts of herself. Chicle has a desire to be loved, Lolly shows her desire to be a genuinely nice person, and Gunbald shows PBs controlling side.
I realised the Mother Gum kind of looks like human remains with two skeletal human legs coming off the left side besides the four pieces on the right side attaching it to the building, this makes wonder if the Mother Gum is actually the Candy Elemental guy shown later on before the great mushroom war mutated or some type of Candy Elemental incarnation that later mutated which spawns Bonnie, Neddy and others
I hope Cinnamon Bun with play a role in the finale arc. He was made with the "Dum Dum Juice" but has grown to be a smart being. It would be cool to see how that all plays out.
i just watched a video exploring what the mother gum was and apparently there is a canon video game that explains what happened to the mother gum. PB moved the mother gum into the castles basement an it disintegrated into gum bubbles after you are forced to fight it.
i literally just dreamt i was watching this review cos ive been spamming refresh for the past few days.... congratulations elkie, i only usually get dreams like that when new episodes are released... (spoiler warning: you liked it more here than in the dream) also! i'll try to shed some light on some of your theories: --i doubt we'll see the true fate of the mother gum... in ETDBIDK, we discover it's at the bottom of her lab, but it's expanding rapidly, and the player character literally... murders it at the end of the game, despite bonnie's increasingly violent efforts to prevent you from reaching it.. it turns into millions of bubbles and ascends through the dungeon into the clouds. the game is in some sort of void in canon, as it's meant to take place before lemongrab eats his twin or finn and fp break up, but that happens before finn even finds out PB isn't just 19. -maybe bonnie and neddy were literally the only ones interested in leaving it? i wonder about this a lot after watching this ep. it seemed like a very warm and happy place while bonnie and neddy experienced pain as soon as they left, but they are like pioneers :P sadly i doubt the show will cover more relatives. so i'll assume theyre candy people or retcons. fuck, they may even be more "heirs". -OH. the gum she made, there's a "goo converter" in the background that's filled with pink candy. i think it's synthetic from radioactive goo! also it might not be gum at all? either way it goes along with the idea of life being reborn from the destitute wasteland, one way or the other. i love this episode cos of what it says about bonnie's character, about how we can clearly see her child self becoming the highly controlling person she is today..."i've been my own boss my whole life".... and the bitterness at the end, the moment she adopted the role of Princess, it paints a picture of the candy kingdom being the result of a child's escapist fantasy... a lonely kid in the apocalypse starts playing a game with life, ends up taking it *too seriously*, and never really grows up... this must have seemed INSANE to people like Marceline, or it would if Marcie even knew about her origins, which she doesnt appear to in either game or show. anyway im not surprised bonnie's a little crazy what with all the crap she went through. nobody sat her down and said, "kid, you can't just create people and tell them to serve certain roles. Talking of Marceline and family, I love how the ep quietly highlights that Bonnie does indeed have a family now... it's not the people you create, but the people who come to you for who you are.... despite everything shes done, her friends have her back, and it'll likely continue that way for the rest of the series. at least she got a happy ending. sort of. still waiting on that graybles apocalypse shit
Natasha Jones the games are not canon ........ and i wouldn't really consider the candy kingdom a child's escapist fantasy, it is more like a result of a wish gone horribly wrong that became Bonnie's responsability that she slowly became more attached to. But yea, you can clearly see at the end of this episode how she became the benevolent yet uptight, overprotective, controlling creep and fear inducing ruler she is and the reasoning behind it.
6:48 this is exactly what I thought when watching your video about Bandit Princess, where are her bandit subjects? Does she rule the city of thieves perhaps?
PB in the end is just a really lonely child that built a fantasy around her and realized too late how bad it became. Shes a good person but for a long time, she used her fears and insecurities to hurt others. Glad things ended up getting better
I never replied but i think this is the most accurate comment on this video. She really is a "messed up kid", who unfortunately became mother to hundreds of other messed up kids, like some kind of chain. Fortunately things got better for them, for the most part. But I love that so much. She tried her best but it wasn't good enough, and she never realised that her kids were either 1. Scared of her or 2. Taking on some of her more negative characteristics that she might not be aware of.
1:30 Not a bomber. The F-117 is technically a fighter (as its designation will tell you), but it's used more as an attack craft. Also, did you notice that picture on the wall in Gumbald's basement? Kinda looks like a certain gem fusion, doesn't it?
if bonnie is a self proclaimed princess then how did she acquire her crown along with the other princesses which have gems necessary for the enchiridion
She knew the gem had power, and she put it in a crown and became "princess" of her candy kingdom. Others saw, learned "princess" was the highest title one could have, and made themselves one while the strongest or biggest kingdoms put similar gems from the encyriduam into their crowns.
Eh are you sure retcons is the right term? I mean for some of then yes but like Mr Creampuff it doesn´t really change or cotnradicts what it was said, we just learn the circunstances behind it. Guess your point is that what was a one line joke in the first episode now has a bit more somber meaning with bonnie basically joking about a bad time (unless she DID keep dating mr creampuff for a while =P) but I don´t know, retcon still doesn´t feel like the right term, I wouldn´t use it is what I´m saying. Good video btw.
It is the proper term. "Ret-Con" means Retroactive Continuity. It means to add depth to something minor in canon later on with extra details, or make small changes to past events to fit the current story better. Which is exactly how Adventure Time does things. So Retcon is the perfect descriptor.
The word 'complicity' graffiti-ed onto the stealth bomber also foreshadows , the relationship PB exhibits with her 'family' later on in the episode, she almost seeks for everyone around her to be complicit to her will, just like how they are in the candy kingdom.
In young Bonnie's lab there is a candy corn rat in a cage that looks awfully like science. Is it possible that PB created science before her gum relatives as one of her initial experiments into creating intelligent candy life? That would explain why science is way smarter than the regular dum dum juice based candy people.
Here is my actual theory: Like you said Uncivilized Elk, What seemed to happen in the video is that (WARNING IF YOU ARE READING THIS, SPOILERS ARE AHEAD!) In 9:14 you can see Bonnibel's Advisior's as they are candy people, what seemed to happen is that when all three had the DumDum Juice LSP had them reverted back to their original form and therefore we see Bonnibel's Uncle return in the Pink Suit. Thus more likely all three are alive and are roaming around the land of Ooo or one of them have died, that being said. In my conclusion, Bonnibel's Uncle, Cousin and Aunt are alive and either want to seek revenge on the Candy Kingdom and want to turn everything in their image!
Let's not forget Lemongrab. He was also probably an early attempt to create a more autonomous being. But he too became obsessed with being in control. I'm just not sure when exactly he was created since he claimed to be next in line for the throne. Maybe he's the oldest of those created for potential succession? In any event, PB seems to have bad luck when it comes to handling the agency she creates in others.
Seeing as Adventure Time is ending soon, what do you plan on talking about? Steven Universe would probably be ok to go back to... Rick and Morty and Bojack Horseman are philosophical and comedic masterpieces... Idk, the Voltron reboot exists I guess? The writing and pacing aren't the best, but it's ok. Or do you have something special and unexpected planned?
CreepyPastaFollower yea kinda, some of them got a tour of the studio once, they secretly took pictures of some future episode stotyboards and then promptly proceeded too blackmail the creators, demanding that they make their favourite ship canon and or else they'd leak the future plotpoints onto the internet. I fucking wish i was joking.
I found it incredibly interesting that while Bonnie made a mother, father and child, she didnt make them HER mother, father and sibling, but an Aunt, an Uncle and a cousin. She wanted family, but still made them detached from herself in a way.
Ooohh that's true🤔🤔
True
Yo true that
I think it's cause she comes from what she calls the mother gum and the ones who fell off it her siblings. Like how Neddy is her brother
Kinda late, but it's because of the picture.
"When the first candy people rose against her, she turned them into hideous monsters"
HOLY SHIT the Banana Guard was talking about PBs family this entire time. of course its a simplified version but it makes sense as to why it would show Gumbald in prison. he basically was.
squad levi
Ok but "Hideous monster" is a but much 😂
@@colbyhill-nixon6815 I mean, classic mythological hyperbole here
@@colbyhill-nixon6815 have you MET crunchy?
I think Aunt Lolly, Uncle Gumbald and cousin chicle were reflections of fragments of bonny's mind because she's wearing that mind thingie. Lolly representing her sweetness, Chicle representing her desire to be funny and widely loved. And Gumbald represents her general tyrant views. So i don't think Gumbald was ever "Copying" her rather, he is her, a part of her.
THAT MAKES SO MUCH SENSE!🤯
👏
I'm getting RvB flashbacks. Man Projet Freelancer was fucked up. But you're theory honestly seems right on the nose.
was literally about to comment this but hey, there it already is.
like she's a new mother gum.
Bonnibel Bubblegum, one of the most complex and psychologically deep female characters in cartoon history. Definitely up there with Demona and Harley Quinn.
shes a lot better than harley.... harley's a onetrick pony... i drew pb as harley once cos hynden walch has voiced both, it was fun...
Jester2415 yup
Natasha Jones not really since Harley is crazy and PB isn't really, i mean .... i could totally see a sane person act like her .... i act like her to an extent.
theyre both crazy doctors, bless. its just pb is a few levels of sanity higher on the pecking chain
I hate her.
If you think about it the reason why PB found Finn "cute" and kept calling him so in the early seasons would be because Finn lacked intelligence when he was younger. He was a complete white knight for PB who never went against her, which is in line with how she micromanages the roles she assigns to her people as their jobs, spouses, and even dreams were all up to her in the early seasons.
This also explains why she could never see anyone in a romantic light. She never had the opportunity to fantasize about romantic love as her ideals of familial love were shattered too early. Had Finn met a younger PB it might have been possible to change her outlook on love and loyalty, but as PB is now an adult she is far more resistant to change. As whenever she is met with new elements she only ever compromises after the fact.
Her style is to break everything down to their simplest states and leaving only the bare minimum to continue to function. Like how she destroyed all but one fire giant, or how she allowed a voting session to take place, or how she leaves pills for all of her guests under the table, or how she allows suitors to line up outside her door, and the list goes on. This is very much in line with how she approached her powers. She leaves a last resort once she assures herself that it won't backfire and without letting any of them know that the last resort is ineffective against her.
To PB everything in the world should be as predictable as the chemical reactions on her periodic table of candy. Any explosion or mutation can only really occur in a controlled environment. Emotions, memories, and convictions are all as pliable as... gum.
jean-luc no she found him cute cos he was a silly child
"How it feels to chew 5 gum" *princess bubblegum's clips of domination*
This revelation made the whole "royal promise" so much sinister than a good thing.
@@wanderingbufoon Five Gum. Stimulate your lumps.
This nigga did paragraphs respect
She has a romantic interest now
It's also interesting how Uncle Gumbald says "Come on, Bonnie. Don't run away from happiness. I'm going to fix you." when he attempts to directly poison Bonnie with the dumbing potion when he has her cornered. It immediately reminded me of a moment in Elements Skyhooks when Finn asks Tower Bubblegum what she did to everyone and she answers "I fixed them, obviously." I might be reaching here but I think it's possible that Uncle Gumbald, Cousin Chicle, and Aunt Lolly aren't just PB's creations, but rather "copies" of herself in different physical forms with the ability to think for themselves. I'm not saying they're PB doubles, but rather they all just share the same goals and ambitions as Princess Bubblegum. In the episode, little Bonnie does say "I need to be around people like me." And we did see PB hook herself up to the machine to bring her family to life. This shows that there's a part of little Bonnie in her relatives. This seems strongly apparent in Uncle Gumbald's character like what you pointed out about UG copying PB. But idk with Cousin Chicle and Aunt Lolly's characters since there's not enough material yet to see what they're like.
But anyway, this is just a thought lol. I'm really excited for the future episodes of Adventure Time and what they could bring to enrich the show. I'm also looking forward to your future reviews of those episodes.
Yes... your right. Uncle Gambald represents her general tyrant views, Aunt Lolly represente her sweet side and Cousin Chicle represents her desire to be funny.
**random flashback to when I made my AT OC half candy but eventually making them live as a half grass cursed person**
Nice.
Well Bubblegum did successfully create Pep-But, who is quite intelligent, has quite the personality
and even knows the way of the dark art.
And yet, absolutely devoted to serving her.
@@egleurbanaviciute2747mmmm your right. That’s crazy
Dark arts*
I love how she has science the rat all the way back then.
yeah, I wonder, he's candy. So did she make him?
How old is that rat??? At least 800 years now thats pretty abnormal so maybe its a long line of Science the Rats?
All about animation same
All candy people are semi immortal. Remember that sugar never expires.
LycanArachnid Well, Crunchy's still around so...
I get a twinge of sadness whenever I realize we won't get answers to some of the lore
Yeah, I'm hoping Pen Ward wraps it up in the end with the lore that's unfinished. maybe a lore book akin to the legend of zleda hyrule historia? Not sure but we can hope!
Maybe they can pull a "The last airbender" and just continue the story in a comic series.
Ender Wiggins SAME
Better still be making that movie, SO HELP ME GLOB
Poke the creators until they submit!
I'd be scared to see Peppermint Butler without dumdum juice.
Oh jeeze what kind of demonic piece of candy would he be?!
yeah! He's gotta have his own weird/ different creation backstory, like she accidentally used "chemical X" haha
Megan Ward yes exactly!
GIRGHGH Aka Girg he would just be a peppermint ......
Dam. He wouldn't be terrifying.
One underrated moment in this episode for me was when Gumbald threatened to dumdum Neddy right after Bonnie, and Bonnie said "Don't you dare hurt my brother!" She was more worried about her brother's safety than her own in that moment.
Man, when you said that thing about Bubblegum realizing that all her creations are destined to turn against her, well I don't know how to finish this sentence. I just found that a *very* interesting observation.
Another thought to add: all of her creations seem to be created from her own DNA. From the gum to the candy people (she calls them her children).
Maybe it is because they represent her own tendencies, including megalomania and desire for control, that all her creations always revolt against her in a rather violent manner?
nah, the candy people werent made from her dna! they just choose to see her as mother. there was a goo converter, right? and it seemed to be filled with candy. SINCE then obviously she's been able to make the candy directly needed to synthesize life, such as with Lemongrab and Root Brer Guy.
HOWEVER, Goliad was made from her DNA...
i guess her creations turn against her cos she always tells them what they are destined to be..... she never realised that they wouldnt like it....
Natasha Jones that is exactly what i think, also ... idk about you but this episode makes the thing with the rattleballs and the fact that she is always spying on the candy people have a lot more sense, she is obviously afraid of a mess like the one we see in this episode, and the fact that Gumbald's candy city is the cause of the catastrophe that makes Oop deserted in 1000 years as we see in Lemonhope part 2, makes me think she might not only be afraid of them turning against her but the fate of all Ooo if that was to happen.
I would assume they'd all have to be in some way genetically related to her, there has to be some kind of genetic framework (or candy equivalent) for her to build on to create candy life and the only examples she has to build from is herself and her immediate family
One thing that wasnt mentioned was that no matter what, crunchy will be reverted back to his original form, as we see him in graybles 1000+.
WHAT?
"Original form" only in terms of character design canonically it's just been established that that was his second form.
I also saw that
Nicholas Scarpignato gkad i'm not the only one who noticed that ....
I think Gumbald more than just a petty imitator. I think he is combination of PB's inner demons. A dark reflection of her. He is has her drive of power and superority. Doing everything to stay in control. PB always distinguished herself as a necesserary evil in a world of chaos, but I think that persona will trully shatter when she realizes she is just as bad as gumbald.
SuperWelsh93 tbh i think she is aware of their similarities since The Cooler when FP called her a bad person and she then tried to reason with her and both stopped spying on the candy people and started trusting Phoebe, this reminds me how she called Gumbald bad in this episode, even in the promo for this episode CN posted online they used that clip, so i assume she does not like being compared to him cause she does not mean any harm and wants people to see her as a friend more than anything, and tbh you can kind of see a parallel with how Gumbald treated PB in this episode and how PB treated FP in that episode, they treat them as just a kid who is beneath them and see their power as a threat to them.
nice catch. i found it surprisingly poignant when cartoon network posted that preview, because it's not as if the parallels between peebs in this ep and the dark stuff she did in the series is obvious to a casual viewer. it's something you have to think about and previews tend to Not Do That.
I think the portraits in "The Duke" are just paintings that Bonnie made to feel less lonely rather than other real people
that is some big brain retcon there
no. those were relatives that got retconned out of existence; similar to marcelines portraits. making the concept of royalty 1 dimensional. shes not a princess or a royal.
@@londongatewood3419 there is this thing called hindsight and I could care less about retcons :3
Chicle is the Spanish word for gum
Doctor_366 thanks alot i was wondering what chicle was
actually, the name in spanish for princess bubblegum is ``Princesa Chicle´´
Eve More yes but the correct translation of bubblegum is chicle
Doctor_366 i was going to comment that.
Yea :3
I'll never get the peeb haters. She's an evil character but she's a really good evil character.
Beesmerelda I don't think any villain ever created is as evil as the Lich. However creating an entire civilization to worship you and intentionally dumbing them down so they don't oppose you is pretty evil
Beesmerelda It's all very science fiction in the premise. A lot of utopian sci fi societies are like this, and they're not always portrayed as villains(in good series that is) but just as having questionable ethics. I would still classify that as villainy especially when it's done for selfish reasons
sladikk she is not evil, she is good and never means any harm, her actions are not always the best that is.
I would say she's more amoral than outright evil. And she's been taking steps away from that amorality. She just wants to do science and doesn't really weigh in if something is good or bad.
yeah id say she's compassionate without morality. so she'll follow her compassionate instincts but wont follow any other moral guidelines, cos i guess she didnt have any for most of her life. basically, as soon as you lose her compassion, you're fucked - she'll do anything to you. that's what makes her so scary to her enemies, cos they know if she doesnt like you there's nothing stopping her from stringing you up sideways.
at the times where bubblegum has strayed darkest, it's been when her general compassionate nature has waned. if she loses *that* side to herself, she's no different from a villain.
I love the post apocalyptic things so this and the Simon and Marce origin and the farmland episodes
Marcy and Hunson is coming soon and it will probably take place after Simon left her
Kieran JSL tbh thoose are some of my favorite episodes, i mean .... Bonnibel Bubblegum is already my favorite episode and Stakes is my favorite miniseries
We've actually been given a piece of the script for Hunson and Marcy which I thought was quite interesting. Especially since it links back to the whole 'Ghosts and vampires being like rock, paper, scissors' thing from Heat Signature in that one script. (And it might include peppermint butler!)
From what I can tell, the episode will have Marcy and her dad (and apparently Finn) talking while doing some dungeon type thing which isn't important, and were gonna get a lot of backstory flashbacks that explain what happened between simon leaving Marcy and Hunson eating her fries. (And probably some stuff about her mum :3)
Kieran JSL nice pfp
I loved this episode, it was so cool to see PB's backstory.

How about that mind apparatus Bonnie used to transfer her... intelligence I guess... into the gums? Looked suspiciously similar to her current crown.
DHH yup
do you reckon she found the gem somewhere, same place she found the amulet, and fashioned it into a crown herself?
I'd wager it's some sort of mind control thing she probably used. Or maybe she just used the design. The gem is a whole other thing definitely.

@@dsism r/whoooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooosh
I somewhat disagree with your statement about how all of her attempts at intelligent creations failed. I feel like evidence suggests that she's already moving away from making her citizens docile. Just look at that one banana guard. He has a different voice from all the others, and (though they all have talents) he seems to have a deeper understanding and awareness of history and his current situations than the other guards. Actually, over the course of the series, it seems like we're being introduced to more and more intelligent candy people. Which makes sense, given her evolution as a character.
That Banana guard thing is irrelevant, he's just as dumb as the rest...he just has a talent (like most of 'em). And he's probably the same Banana Guard from "Apple Wedding" who had a similar voice. Why didn't you choose someone like Peppermint Butler one of the actually smart candy citizens?
i think that's sort of the point, yeah! the candy people are people. many people are really dumb or stubborn, but many are also really smart, and only by letting them develop can we see their different characteristics.
the princess's issues dont seem to be born by candy people's stupidity so much as their.... stubbornness. their people-traits. theres literally no difference between them voting KoO and the US voting trump - they both wanted to do something different for the sake of being different.
Kushrada tbh i think thoose gumball gusrdians were not set up by Bonnie, i am 100% Gumbald set them up cause he took over the candy kingdom, destroyed it and also destroyed all the other kingdoms in Ooo to start building his candy city, he used the super gumball guardians to get the candy people out of the way when he started building his massive empire but he was not able to finish his plans, he was stopped and PB either did not know how to fix the gumball guardians or she died.
Nicole Sands they are just as dumb as the others, i mean ... probably peppermint Buttler is an exception, but banana guard 16 just had a talent and had more of a complex personality than the rest, but other than that he was still dumb.
@@SonicmaniaVideos thats banana guard #1 not banana guard #15 or #16 idk i dont remember his name
Lemongrab's story seems to relate to this, too. He was claimed to be the first in line of succession for being her first creation, but it looks like he might be the first after her "family"?
First, she tries to create life that's similar to her, and they backstab her.
Then, she tries to create life that's different. She fails, as he ends up mentally broken.
So, she creates life that's like her, but not smart enough to backstab her.
No, the difference is Lemongrab was created specifically to be an heir. Science the Rat was her first known creation.
I know Gumbald has been pretty seedy, but you can't blame him for wanting to make something of his own. That's what I liked about this episode; it wasn't generic good guy vs bad guy conflict, but political conflict driven by a need for power from both Gumbald and Bonnibel. This is a good episode to help close the series.
I think one interesting aspect on the taffy trees is that the actual event that occurred, as seen in this episode, differs slightly from what PB claimed happened in susan strong. in that episode, there were much more trees that got chopped down and they were much further from where the actual trees were in this episode.
while that could have been a minor oversight, I sorta get the impression that PB made up this glorified history of what her uncle was actually like, since the true story would probably freak some of the candy people out. I certainly don't think she'd be behind masking darker elements of her past like that!
there are actually the same number of trees if you count. another explanation is the castle's position was slowly shifted over time because the tree was raised from the ground.
God, this episode was scary. Gumbald gives me chills, the way he wants to turn all the others into mindless obedient employees.
I mean...PB wants that too.
Kazuma Kiryu not really, since PB creates candy people differently, not from other existing beings. So it is not really scary, Gumbald's idea is scary though.
Remember the tooth implants and the security cameras?
Jean-Luc Magdaluyo tbh idk why but i find that more funny than scary

I'm surprised no one has said anything about how PB's crown looks just like the device that she used to create her "family." This could be symbolic of her role as a leader, as every citizen she creates is by her design, just like the others were.
You are the only channel that I really wait with excitement to upload a video
Bonnie's line in Lady and Pebbles "I know a thing or two about building a body out of biomass and you don't leave your heart exposed" I think applies to herself as well, she is un-open to love because she locked her heart away because of Gumbald's betrayal, she pushes away any loving connection, including Marceline, Finn and Brocco.
I think it's easy to perceive bubblegum's deviation on Gumbald's plans as a ploy to maintain a sense of control, and to think of them as lesser to her, but she also calls them her family, and that is what I thought was meant to be the primary conflict of this episode. Bonnie just wants a family, while Gumbald wants a business. Even in that clip, she says the candy people are like her children. They're dumber than her because she wants to take care of them, not take advantage of them like Gumbald would.
nessesaryschoolthing She made them dump on purpose so no one can appose her and question her acts
There is something interesting about the candy Sphinx creature I forget what its name was. And I began to notice it in all of her creations.
Not just because they are all part candy and she is the candy Elemental.
I get the feeling that she's not metaphorically but quite literally putting parts of herself into all of these citizens every candy being out there. And part of the reason it hurts so much to see everything go bad for her and why she so desperately wants to dumb it all down is because they really do have a part of her in them. They want to be in control and they want to rule.
The first words out of her mouth when the candy stinks went bad and she was made aware...
"I was afraid of this"
She saw it coming. She knows she has problems but there's some level of cognitive dissidents, she doesn't want to acknowledge that she is tyrannical even though she knows it. Every time one of her Creations goes bad, she's forced to look into the mirror and see that she is the problem.
Mother gum still exists, their still alive. In the adventure time Explore The Dungeon you meet a large mother gum at the end And Pb explains why she could break off from them.
Are the games considered canon?
but doesnt that mother gum "die" at end?
like, it is the final boss, and finn slays it thinking that the mother gum was trying to hurt pb.
well, it turned into lots of bubbles that could talk...
The Video Games aren't Cannon.
Explore the Dungeon Because I Don't Know is for sure canon Ward himself made a big deal about the reveals and wrote those himself, the other game is not.
cannon, or not, we have no info about the mother gum other than that.
so until the show ever says or shows anything to make the game not cannon, the end can be considered cannon.
Fallout: Ooo Vegas
haha this is golden. XD
7:40 - Damn! I never realized Mr. Creampuff had been a recurring character since episode one! O__O
The beginning of this episode is very reminiscent of Rey's introduction in The Force Awakens. A scavenger with her face covered navigating the wreckage of an aircraft from a previous war? Yeah
I too love all the implications this episode provides. What I'm most curious about is how the Earl of Lemongrab plays into all this. For the longest time I could have sworn Bubblegum said he was the first of her creations. I just rewatched his backstory, and I was mistaken; he was the first of her creations *to go wrong.* Ok, so cancel that. But why is he next in line to the throne? He must have been one of her earliest attempts at making a Candy Person, if not the first one post-Gumbald's betrayal. I think something that lends credence to this is the fact that if you look at Bubblegum creating him, the life serum she uses look suspiciously like the dumb dumb juice. Same sort of faded red but not quite pink. Maybe she had second thoughts about making all her citizens dummies and wanted her first attempt to be a sort of compromise. The "failure" of Lemongrab would have cemented her original decision. So Lemongrab would be in line for the throne because he was the first Candy Person Bonnie created AS a Candy Person, the original trio not counting.
lemongrab is the heir because that's what she made him to be! that's literally the only reason lol
Ghostsurfer421 Lemongrab was nect to the throne because he was the only creation of hers capable of ruling she knew about
Dam. I want to know about her past and the candy Kingdom.
I don't think that's true. I just watched the scene where it explains where he came from and they don't mention that, just that he's next in line.
I don't think that's true though. Bubblegum's attitude towards Lemongrab suggests she sees him as "broken." If she did see him that way, she definitely didn't after he came to life.
When adventure time ends will u do a time line video caz that be cool
Celestial FIRE I NEED THAT
OMG YES
Celestial FIRE yes pleaseee
The more I continue to watch your reviews and discussions about these shows that I love, the more I know you'd love Bojack Horseman if you got past the first few episodes and finished season 1. Steven universe had that same problem of being not that good of a show at the start, but both make amazing turns for the better. Bojack is so amazing, and I want you to experience all the joy, sadness and depth that show has to offer.
Benjii Kahlil I thought Steven universe was better when it started than it is now
Bojack is so good though
If I remember right, they actually go into what happened to the Mother Gum in one of the video games, Pendelton Ward has also confirmed that the game in question is canon
I know that the Season 6 croak dream pretty much already came to fruition, but I feel like this episode gave more layers to that dream. I'm specifically referring to when Bonnie is swallowed up by the Butterscotch lake, and instead of being a visual symbol it also takes on new meaning after learning she created it to ensure the future of her kingdom. It's really a simple way of showing her actions to remain in power coming back to bite her and ultimately consuming her. Now that Gumbald's connection to the lake's creation has been revealed, it wouldn't surprise me if this was some sort of extension of the original croak dream. After all Jake had his 3 seasons before it came to fruition, and even though I'm pretty sure PB's dream was specifically linked to the season 6 finale, I could see themes from that premonition being carried over into this final arc.
I've always just assumed the factory that spawned the mother gum was a German based candy company.
My thoughts were always that bc Neddie had such a scary fall from the mother gum, all the others became too afraid to drop, which would make the darker option of them all dying away where they were born more plausible. After all, we know Bonnie has lived for ages upon ages, I feel like if even one of them had also split, they would have run into each other at some point in time. Marcy had time to be in a relationship with Bonnie, break up, travel the world, and return! So another gum sibling who also split would've had time to find Bonnie and Neddie. Because the implication is that Bonnie was the very first one to drop, any others who wanted to would have known about her existence already. I also always thought that she literally manufactured her gum relatives, but now that you say it, it makes sense that she might've used her dead relatives to create them, bc she tells Finn "he was the first of my creations gone wrong" regarding Lemongrab. So maybe she really did use her dead relatives
Oh my glob, I loved these episodes so much! There were so many easter eggs that referenced small details from very early episodes that I just absolutely adored. This was definitely my favorite from the set of episodes that they released recently.
Natalie same and Bonnibel Bubnlegu, is my new favorite episode
I love i am not the only one who realized Bonnie's fear of her creations always turning against her and resulting in a mess again makes a lot of sense and i love how you noticed all the callbacks too but you actually forgot one .... in Lemonhope part 2 we actually get to see Gumbald's candy city and ships with a G on them, meaning Gumbald is the one responsible for the catastrophe in Ooo that will make ot deserted in 1000 years.
if you watched a previous review you'd know he debunked this. In higher quality the ship with the "G" on it is actually just a swirl design
squad levi but the Candy City makes it likely again
who knowwwsss a lot could happen in 1000 years it could be PBs candy city or the humans on the islands finally decided to move to Ooo
squad levi it is still highly possible it's Gumbald though.
I love how the gas station was such an important part of the story without even being obvious until later in the series, and even afterwards in the “finisher spin-off” for the plot holes or missing history (separate from the plot holes). Marceline and her mother had been to that gas station probably around the same time as PB, making them closer in age than I originally thought (because PB’s Mother Gum most likely came into existence shortly after the War, and PB was born from it shortly after). I wish the Obsidian spin-off shows what happened to all the original Gums and if they still exist in their own cities around the globe. Would be great.
Nahh, PB wasn't born until like 170 years after that scene took place (she spent a long time in the mother gum). She's around 830 in the finale. It was also a different gas station.
@@tipsy634 they’re still much closer in age lol. I know she was not IMMEDIATELY born after the war, since there were sooooooooo many dead and dying humans (probably from malnutrition, radiation poisoning, and other contributing factors). But less than 200 years is still pretty close, since it’s only about 4 to 6 generations.
@@partysuvius that is fair enough. Yep! PB's age was first revealed in Explore the Dungeon because I Don't Know, but it wasn't given any indicator in the show until this episode. She could've been 300 years old or 1000 years old as far as the audience knew, but this ep more accurately says "around 800".
@@tipsy634 her age is probably more accurate to real gum aging
@@tipsy634 i wouldn’t be surprised with the mixture of real and fake physics and science mixing in AT, that PB would be aging like real gum. Very very slowed down compared to humans.
Is that a Garnet poster I see at 8:26.:)
Tom Bashford lol
Yes her name is Estelle
Ayyyeeee been waiting for someone to comment that
Sarai :)
Estelle was on a tour at the time, duh.
The I've been waiting for this review forever a few days felt like a year
YASSSS I LIVE FOR YOUR REVIEWS. It makes Adventure Time 1000 times more enjoyable than it already is. You should make an unofficial adventure time guide/philosophy of adventure time or something like that, I"m sure that would be subject to copyright but I'd buy it for sure. haha. :) OR maybe a full LORE/Story review tieing everyhting together in chronological order, thanks ELK you rock!
I’ve been waiting anxiously for this amazing review!
We do see crunchy again in the future, episode Graybels 1000 plus, when cuber uses a candy capsule to block the laser gun. Crunchy wakes up and asks “ what time is it”? That must mean at least cousin chicle was reverted to candy form. I feel like the 3 relatives split up and all went their separate ways after LSP reverted them to gum form. I don’t think they feel happy or safe near uncle gumbald after what he did. Though we do see a city/ apartments in Lemonhope part 2 that uncle gumbald always wanted to build. I wonder what the tragic future holds?
Anyone else kinda surprised that all candy people live forever? I thought she just kept making more candy people as old ones get old but apparently at least crunchy, punchy and the piñata have been around for ‘like 800 years’. Kinda weird
Can we please take a moment to admire the incredible 'Tank Girl' reference at the start of the flashback. Great review as always man - loving this channel!
I want to ask you one question on this episode's ending. Do you think they missed an opportunity to make Uncle Gumbald the one to become Crunchy? I mean it just seems like the better connection than him becoming Punchy. We have spent more time getting to know Crunchy. Like you said he tried to take over the candy kingdom twice. On top of that it would make the missing poster of Crunchy seen on the wall in “Son of Rap Bear” all the more foreshadowing. Yeah it is still foreshadowing that Crunchy is no longer Crunchy, and that Bonnibel’s relatives are back, but since Gumbald is the one of the 3 relatives we know it just feels like they set up the wrong person becoming Crunchy. Crunchy was even the candy person Bonnibel used to try and get Lemongrab to understand candy people. Which makes sense, considering she probably based the other candy people on the mindset of Manfried, Punchy, and Crunchy, but would have had more meaning if the final villian was PB’s version of the ideal candy person. Unless Chicle turns out to be a bigger villain than Gumbald… which I doubt. Let me know what you think curious about your thoughts on this.
I don't think it's necessarily a missed opportunity yet (especially if future episodes go into more detail on it), but it's an interesting choice. Crunchy would be the go-to for all the reasons you list, so I am curious why the creators chose a different candy person. It feels deliberate; I have a hard time making the assumption they just forgot about the things Crunchy has done.
I'm glad there are people like you who pick apart a show's episodes. Man you made this episode deeper than I initially thought.
Oh Damn. You've got a great point on the depth this brings to PB's character/psyche. I wonder if that's why she and Marcy broke up, or became casual, or whatever....PB was a bit of a control freak, and Marcy didn't have good experiences with those. It would make sense that PB would want to date someone who she felt safe with; who wouldn't betray her. Perhaps Marcy's rebellious nature enticed PB because it highlighted Marcy's Individuality. Simultaneously, Perhaps Marcy's rebellious nature reminded PB of her consistent betrayals by her children, and once friend shoko, as well as those of the surrounding kingdoms, and raiding guilds (as have been reoccurring from shoko's old guild to gunter, to ice king, to lemongrab, his eventual "twin", and even other princesses) Perhaps that's why she was open to dating fin when their bodies were of the same biological age. He wasn't someone who has or who would ever betray her. He even supports her when he's not entirely sure of the morality of the situation. He's also willing to ground her morally without stepping on her toes. He's capable and caring, yet competent as well, so that distinguishes him from the people she surrounds herself with. He's able to charmingly show his care for her, and can understand what she says. He might not be a scientist, but she can actually talk to him, and he'll retain some of the information and might ask questions about it.
On the other hand, Marcy comes from a place of family pressure, and perhaps even family abuse (I'm not entirely sure how nightosphere/demon culture works). Her father took her fries when she was young, has caused devastation to the lands through soul sucking, and tried to brainwash her to become ruler of the nightosphere. She moved out from his home dimension, and changed their family symbol (The battle axe into an axe guitar) in rebellion of him and his values. Her mother seems to be out of the picture, meaning he had all the control of the family, likely for a long while through her later childhood/adolescence. Marceline seems to have lost many people in her life, despite her efforts to take care of them, including her stubborn father. Other examples include the people around her going insane (simon/ice king), people moving away (the Hyumans when they escaped on the boat in steaks), and having bunk friends (the ghosts who tried to kill fin and jake in early seasons, as well as her ex who sold her childhood doll hambo to a witch). Marcy also wants someone who makes her feel safe, but also self reliant. She likely wants to date someone she doesn't have to take care of. That's probably why she wanted to date the immortal, brilliant, *Princess* Bubblegum, who didn't report to anyone, and who had the ability and history to take care of herself and those around her. Perhaps Princess Bubblegum's controlling, and sometimes uptight, personality drove her away. I also suspect that having to take care of fin is one of the many reasons she didn't want to date fin. He's mortal, and the last time she dealt with humans, she had to protect an entire group of them from wicked strong vampires that were hunting them. All it would take is for fin to make one mistake, and get himself in too deep, which he has done before. Some of the time, fin gets out of situations through luck, such as with the hall of egress, or the time he manipulated flame princess to fight Ice King. She wouldn't get enough out of the relationship to justify taking care of someone who's species is considered prey by half of the creatures in the land of Ooo.
Intersting....
As always ingeniously insightful and incredibly interesting. Every time a new deep episode comes out your videos are the first thing to come to mind and I wonder what you're going to say about it
One has to remember that despite its mediocricy, Adventure Time: Explore The Dungeon Because I DON'T KNOW! is actually still canon according to Pendelton Ward, so the mother gum still existed up until the moment Finn, Jake, Marceline and Cinnamon Bun found and seemingly slayed the mother gum. We know that the mother gum dispersed into tiny gum bubbles in the end.
Unless before the end of the series this gets disproven by the series it will remain canon.
Gary Kertopermono This is exactly what I was thinking while watching the speculation in the video.
I was checking diligently for this video because I know it would be awesome. It was well worth the wait! Thanks for all the insight, Uncivilized Elk!
It was pretty funny Bonnie saying "family is complicated you know what I mean" and Marcy and Finn nodding and jake shaking his head lol
This episode had sooooooo many references to discuss that I may have enjoyed your review as much as the episode itself.
PB is truly one of the most fascinating characters ever. She’s not like Finn and Jake, wanting to be the righteous hero, and she’s not like Marceline, whose traumatic past is often reflected in her behavior. PB is so rational about things, she’s always thinking ahead, she’s always doing whatever it takes to stay in control and get what she wants. I don’t find her evil in the slightest, but I do think she carries more trauma in her than all of the other characters put together.
Man I look at your videos and I get the vibe from a year ago when I watched adventure time. Man you are an artist
i really wanted to see bonnie dealing with that need for control a bit more. like marceline deals with her anger in obsidian
Dude I’ve just discovered ur videos, absolutely love your takes on everything. You’ve added so much depth to my favorite show that shaped a good part of my childhood and I feel like I’m finally able to access a bigger portion the complete story! Bout to binge ur channel, but just wanted to say how impressed I was with your analysis
when young Bonnie was adventuring in the wasteland it reminds me alot of the lisa the joyful game
PB: You turned them against me!
Gumbald: You have done that yourself!
I've always had some trouble with Princess Bubblegum's moral choices as well as her personality, but for the most part I've always let it slide. But after this episode... I kinda hate her. She actually made me angry here, although that's just personal reasons.
I just hate what a hypocrite she is. She creates life, gives it an identity with independent thoughts, emotions and aspirations; basically what some people would call a soul. But she always expected them to be subservient to her, just because she made them. It's just another story of an arrogant person playing God. And when they turn against her and plan to lobotomize her, a plan that utterly horrifies her, she decides that it's okay for her to do it as well. Just create life you presumably love and respect, as long as it doesn't contradict you. That's like expecting your children to obey to your every command just because you made them; "you came out of my womb/dick; you don't get to think for yourself!". I just hate that mentality, and in general, people who strip away others from their individualism, specially if they actually use chemistry or surgery to accomplish it. I really have no respect left for Bonnie.
However, I don't think she's a bad character, because I believe the series is trying to portray her as this. This isn't some amazing discovery I've made; the series pretty much spelled this out to me as well as the rest of the audience. Her character is very complex because of this, although I'm not sure whether the show expects us to sympathize with her plight or to despise her. I know that I do the latter.
she's literally a child in this episode
She's a child with enough intelligence to create life. Also, she never really bothered to change her ways in 800 years, which is long enough for anyone to develop some maturity.
GUILLE832 She never had a reason to. The only person that had any significant impact on her life up until Finn was Marcy, and she was certainly not mature at that time
She spent then most of her life without interacting with practically anyone she couldn't directly control. Don't you think that might be an incentive for her to develop even more sociopathic tendencies?
GUILLE832 I dont think so, at least not now.
She just needed control because that part of her life was chaotic, but it's not like she has an almost pathological need to be in control. That's just her line of thinking.
12:12 I love your point here! Because as PB's children,she has points when she can't control them,and she can't see their perspective, even when she spied on them.
12:11 Crunchy, Punchy and Mr. Cream Puff next to each other there
Damn makes sense why gumballd is back. Love your analysis on PBs relationship with their people. Please continue to make videos when AT ends they're always so interesting
PBs gum family each have parts of herself. Chicle has a desire to be loved, Lolly shows her desire to be a genuinely nice person, and Gunbald shows PBs controlling side.
i live for your videos, man. i'm going to miss these reviews as much as I'm going to miss the actual show!
Chicle is Spanish for gum
Thats pretty chicle
I realised the Mother Gum kind of looks like human remains with two skeletal human legs coming off the left side besides the four pieces on the right side attaching it to the building, this makes wonder if the Mother Gum is actually the Candy Elemental guy shown later on before the great mushroom war mutated or some type of Candy Elemental incarnation that later mutated which spawns Bonnie, Neddy and others
I hope Cinnamon Bun with play a role in the finale arc. He was made with the "Dum Dum Juice" but has grown to be a smart being. It would be cool to see how that all plays out.
Michael Cutler no he wasn’t he was just half baked.
i just watched a video exploring what the mother gum was and apparently there is a canon video game that explains what happened to the mother gum. PB moved the mother gum into the castles basement an it disintegrated into gum bubbles after you are forced to fight it.
i literally just dreamt i was watching this review cos ive been spamming refresh for the past few days.... congratulations elkie, i only usually get dreams like that when new episodes are released... (spoiler warning: you liked it more here than in the dream)
also! i'll try to shed some light on some of your theories:
--i doubt we'll see the true fate of the mother gum... in ETDBIDK, we discover it's at the bottom of her lab, but it's expanding rapidly, and the player character literally... murders it at the end of the game, despite bonnie's increasingly violent efforts to prevent you from reaching it.. it turns into millions of bubbles and ascends through the dungeon into the clouds. the game is in some sort of void in canon, as it's meant to take place before lemongrab eats his twin or finn and fp break up, but that happens before finn even finds out PB isn't just 19.
-maybe bonnie and neddy were literally the only ones interested in leaving it? i wonder about this a lot after watching this ep. it seemed like a very warm and happy place while bonnie and neddy experienced pain as soon as they left, but they are like pioneers :P sadly i doubt the show will cover more relatives. so i'll assume theyre candy people or retcons. fuck, they may even be more "heirs".
-OH. the gum she made, there's a "goo converter" in the background that's filled with pink candy. i think it's synthetic from radioactive goo! also it might not be gum at all? either way it goes along with the idea of life being reborn from the destitute wasteland, one way or the other.
i love this episode cos of what it says about bonnie's character, about how we can clearly see her child self becoming the highly controlling person she is today..."i've been my own boss my whole life".... and the bitterness at the end, the moment she adopted the role of Princess, it paints a picture of the candy kingdom being the result of a child's escapist fantasy... a lonely kid in the apocalypse starts playing a game with life, ends up taking it *too seriously*, and never really grows up... this must have seemed INSANE to people like Marceline, or it would if Marcie even knew about her origins, which she doesnt appear to in either game or show. anyway im not surprised bonnie's a little crazy what with all the crap she went through. nobody sat her down and said, "kid, you can't just create people and tell them to serve certain roles.
Talking of Marceline and family, I love how the ep quietly highlights that Bonnie does indeed have a family now... it's not the people you create, but the people who come to you for who you are.... despite everything shes done, her friends have her back, and it'll likely continue that way for the rest of the series. at least she got a happy ending. sort of. still waiting on that graybles apocalypse shit
Natasha Jones the games are not canon ........ and i wouldn't really consider the candy kingdom a child's escapist fantasy, it is more like a result of a wish gone horribly wrong that became Bonnie's responsability that she slowly became more attached to. But yea, you can clearly see at the end of this episode how she became the benevolent yet uptight, overprotective, controlling creep and fear inducing ruler she is and the reasoning behind it.
6:48 this is exactly what I thought when watching your video about Bandit Princess, where are her bandit subjects? Does she rule the city of thieves perhaps?
PB in the end is just a really lonely child that built a fantasy around her and realized too late how bad it became. Shes a good person but for a long time, she used her fears and insecurities to hurt others. Glad things ended up getting better
I never replied but i think this is the most accurate comment on this video. She really is a "messed up kid", who unfortunately became mother to hundreds of other messed up kids, like some kind of chain. Fortunately things got better for them, for the most part. But I love that so much. She tried her best but it wasn't good enough, and she never realised that her kids were either 1. Scared of her or 2. Taking on some of her more negative characteristics that she might not be aware of.
1:30 Not a bomber. The F-117 is technically a fighter (as its designation will tell you), but it's used more as an attack craft. Also, did you notice that picture on the wall in Gumbald's basement? Kinda looks like a certain gem fusion, doesn't it?
I love how Science was with PB in her childhood :)
I’m surprised there was never a mint gum enemy kingdom, that were cold and unfeeling
if bonnie is a self proclaimed princess then how did she acquire her crown along with the other princesses which have gems necessary for the enchiridion
Sarah she’s over 800 years old she made the crown and found the gem.
Billy gave them to the princesses , duh
She knew the gem had power, and she put it in a crown and became "princess" of her candy kingdom. Others saw, learned "princess" was the highest title one could have, and made themselves one while the strongest or biggest kingdoms put similar gems from the encyriduam into their crowns.
Eh are you sure retcons is the right term? I mean for some of then yes but like Mr Creampuff it doesn´t really change or cotnradicts what it was said, we just learn the circunstances behind it. Guess your point is that what was a one line joke in the first episode now has a bit more somber meaning with bonnie basically joking about a bad time (unless she DID keep dating mr creampuff for a while =P) but I don´t know, retcon still doesn´t feel like the right term, I wouldn´t use it is what I´m saying. Good video btw.
It is the proper term. "Ret-Con" means Retroactive Continuity.
It means to add depth to something minor in canon later on with extra details, or make small changes to past events to fit the current story better. Which is exactly how Adventure Time does things. So Retcon is the perfect descriptor.
i didn't like the episode personally but now that you've explained it like this i actually like it alot better
The word 'complicity' graffiti-ed onto the stealth bomber also foreshadows , the relationship PB exhibits with her 'family' later on in the episode, she almost seeks for everyone around her to be complicit to her will, just like how they are in the candy kingdom.
Before I watched that episode, I thought the pinata, cookie, and the fruit punch guy were always like that. This episode really surprised me!
In young Bonnie's lab there is a candy corn rat in a cage that looks awfully like science. Is it possible that PB created science before her gum relatives as one of her initial experiments into creating intelligent candy life?
That would explain why science is way smarter than the regular dum dum juice based candy people.
HAIL PRINCESS CRUNCHY!!!
Scorpionruler5 It all makes sense now! Wonder if PB is ever surprised when it always turns out to be Crunchy, now that we know his true identity.
Here is my actual theory: Like you said Uncivilized Elk, What seemed to happen in the video is that (WARNING IF YOU ARE READING THIS, SPOILERS ARE AHEAD!) In 9:14 you can see Bonnibel's Advisior's as they are candy people, what seemed to happen is that when all three had the DumDum Juice LSP had them reverted back to their original form and therefore we see Bonnibel's Uncle return in the Pink Suit. Thus more likely all three are alive and are roaming around the land of Ooo or one of them have died, that being said. In my conclusion, Bonnibel's Uncle, Cousin and Aunt are alive and either want to seek revenge on the Candy Kingdom and want to turn everything in their image!
Let's not forget Lemongrab. He was also probably an early attempt to create a more autonomous being. But he too became obsessed with being in control. I'm just not sure when exactly he was created since he claimed to be next in line for the throne. Maybe he's the oldest of those created for potential succession? In any event, PB seems to have bad luck when it comes to handling the agency she creates in others.
Did you know Chicle is gum in Spanish.
10:09 I Love The Way Chicle Sits XD
Seeing as Adventure Time is ending soon, what do you plan on talking about? Steven Universe would probably be ok to go back to... Rick and Morty and Bojack Horseman are philosophical and comedic masterpieces... Idk, the Voltron reboot exists I guess? The writing and pacing aren't the best, but it's ok. Or do you have something special and unexpected planned?
Inklink Tmnt2012 its needed that
Garganchular but is it steven universe terrible?
CreepyPastaFollower yea kinda, some of them got a tour of the studio once, they secretly took pictures of some future episode stotyboards and then promptly proceeded too blackmail the creators, demanding that they make their favourite ship canon and or else they'd leak the future plotpoints onto the internet. I fucking wish i was joking.
LJLvids holy shit its like each day im disappointed of this generation
LJLvids
That can't be real
Her riding the yak is exactly like Lori petty in TankGirl movie!!! The goggles and everything!
I love the 'fallout' feel of the world
Adventure Time hits different when you have someone to analyze the arcs for you
12:11 CREAM PUFF IS ALIVE
I was about to comment this. I don't think there's any good reason for him to be there other than by mistake.
There was SO much lore in this epispde, it's crazy!
did anyone notice the connection between the studio ghibil film Nausicaä of the Valley of the Wind with the beginning?
