- The gigantic Adventure Time Elements review you’ve all been anticipating has finally arrived!
Join me as I dissect and analyze this awesome elemental adventure, and please continue the discussion in the comments by providing your own thoughts on anything that occurred during this miniseries. There was so much fun to be had while the Land of Ooo was overrun by the four Elements: plot progression, lore, character development, excellent comedy; this truly was a fantastic miniseries, and I can’t wait to see how the series wraps up from here.

I just realized that BMO never thought of Neptr as an equal.
it was pretty obvious lmao
I only like for the fact that if I did it would be 69 likes
@@JavierEscuella1911 that is a good reason.
No shit lol
@@Todomo v x
P
I love how BMO goes "I'm going to start treating him as an equal" as though BMO viewed him as lower than him the entire time
Remember that money episode? the rp rly shows that fact
It was hinted at when Neptr wanted to help BMO with the case, and BMO told Neptr that they're not alike in the episode called "BMO Noire" in the fourth season of the show.
That piece of dialogue stood out as odd to me, and when he said he'd treat him as equal in this miniseries; I remembered that episode and it made sense.
To be fair, BMO is pretty self absorbed so it’s not surprising
Ah yes the BMO master race
@@SalemsRising I'm convinced in *SPOILER ALERT* the future 1000 years in the future when he is depicted as the 'king of Ooo' but he's literally... alone... was him DECLARING HIMSELF king of Ooo... he doesn't do anything kingly or leaderly... he's a recluse on a mountain surrounded by junk... old junk from his friends adventures...
The only reason Charol kept her memories when she got turned to ice is because she is part of the water cycle and water is meant to freeze
I thought she only goes through the rain cycle not the whole water cycle.
I also was thinking that ‘water retains memory’
Her matter did not change, only her STATE of matter. She was made of the same stuff before, she simply solidified.
@@PHYREXIANFISH wow your smart i thought the same thing but i didnt know the words because i suck
@@gracegrapes7772 Thanks bruh
The Cosmic Owl and Prismo reacting to Betty looks like two bros binging a show and gasping at plot twists and it just sounds funny to me
Same, I laughed too hard when they popped up on screen-
*le gasp* GOSSIP
this is 100% how they reactes
@@Cheese-Slime-Sheriffno way you actually commented this
I got an “oh fuck we’re in trouble” vibe
@@goatashes8501They did just comment that, is that a problem?
i think lumpy space princess's star thing being attracted to the enchiridion and not fitting in the lich was a bit of foreshadowing to elements
How...?
Herohammer Studios lumpy space princess didn’t fit in any of the elements so the star not fitting in the enchiridion meant that she wouldn’t fit in the element series
her star was long as shit
@@IceBoltGamingIBG That explains why she isnt very smart
Shit I never thought about that!!!!! It’s not just a rip on LSP 😭. This show never ceases to be a masterpiece
A cute thing to note about PB and Marcy in this mini series is the fact that Marcy has on the same outfit from "What Was Missing", and in the same episode Marcy sung "I'm Just Your Problem" where the first lines are:
"Sorry I don't treat you like a goddess, is that what you want me to do? Sorry I don't treat you like you're perfect, like all your loyal subjects do. Sorry I'm not made of sugar, am I not sweet enough for you?"
Marcy literally became everything she said Bubblegum wanted and she was kinda right
Kagoru Holy shit.
*punched in the emotional gut*
Kagoru dang I JUST realized that
HOW DID I NOT NOTICE THAT
Kagoru OMG THE I AM JUST YOUR PROBLEM SONG
14:55 remember when Ice King was explaining that he knows a lot about Finn and Jake and one of the facts stated is that Jake is too afraid to cry for real because he's afraid of true emotion
Great callback! Really supplements his more-developed character at this point in the series
Honestly I relate to that one-
Was that the episode where he paralyzes them and tries to be besties?
That is why i loved ice king. And why i thought betty should have taken simon as ice king. Ice king bonded with finn and jake as ice king. Same could work with ice king and betty.
@@killrcupcake2994yep!
My favorite parts are:
"Four way elemental pizza" and "are you a toucan?"
my favourite joke was "and then life giving magus checked an even darker shade of grey against my face!' '(what's going on?)"
“ *HELLO STRANGERS, IT’S SO COOL TO HAVE YOU IN OUR HOUSE!* “
(Roughly quoted)
"This Simon guy sounds real great, but I'm Ice King!"
I really wonder how Marceline would feel about hearing that.
i'm pretty sure marceline is well aware of ice king's insanity
Shes aware of those things, doesn't Marceline talk about Simon and calls Ice King, Simon but Ice King is just there as ignorant as ever.
I think he meant that he wonders how Marcelie would react emoutinally.
Wilfred Cthulu I think she just prefers calling him Simon, bit accepts ice king as he is and as a friend...
That's why she's a stronger character than Betty.
Unlike like little Miss I'm going to to pull a Barry Allen and fuck the timeline Marceline actually adapts to her misfortune.
The best part of this miniseries is Marshmaline the Campfire Queen. Two puns in one. How much better can you get without overdoing it?

Ice King in fire kingdom: spice king
Princess Bubblegum is also older than all of the other elementals combined, since Patience didn't really age while she was on ice. When Patience St. Pim froze herself all those years ago at the start of the Mushroom War, I think she inadvertently threw the whole elemental reincarnation cycle out of balance and it's been seriously screwed up ever since.
This confuses me.
Patience froze herself and therefore no ice elemental reincarnation.
so why does PB live forever if the other candy elementals in the past don't?
why would the reincarnation be a gum person?
@@FishwicksREALyeah the lore breaks itself here because PB came into existence with the mushroom war. But candy elementals already existed, so you can be whatever species and still be a reincarnation like with fire elemental from evergreen time not being on fire. With PB I assume her mutation gives her a longer life span
@@FishwicksREALpb may not be a typical elemental or an elemental at all, like it is possible mushroom war era of candy elemental died and his remains mutated (mother gum). The real candy elemental might be hiding somewhere because they are afraid of being hunted by pb.
Or nature does not need to send a new candy elemental because there is a person with elemental powers around, maybe she counts as a elemental by the nature, even if she has not been chosen for this by it.
I think PB lives forever because PSP hasn't died yet. Fire and slime live together as Ice and Candy do, and if Patience ever croaked, I think PB would become mortal again.
Y'all I think the cycle just doesn't have to always be in sync, after all, the elementals in Patience's time weren't all the same age
It was important to show Fern and Lemongrab approaching the fire kingdom warriors because those two are the biggest warriors themselves in the candy kingdom. Even though their fighting spirit was eliminated by the candy curse, this clearly shows how they subconsciously tried to fight back through kindness instead of power or anger, by forcing juice on the fire kingdom people, which could possibly put out their flames
I think Ice Carol was unaffected because she froze herself, and wasn't frozen by Patience. As she said, she literally WILLED herself to evaporate into a cloud person.
she also could've naturally froze just cause its cold
That's what i was thinking
I wouldn’t be surprised if she just turned into hail from the extreme cold. Evaporated water turns to clouds and then eventually produces rain, snow, or hail depending on the weather.
@@trashbeast
Yeah! She's literally made of water, it makes sense for her to be unaffected by the Ice element emotionally.
DJFlare84 Patience St Pimm should’ve been killed or better yet, at least frozen and never returned again
I just realized that when Finn is in fire mode, his robo-arm is just a regular fire arm
Yep that right
Maybe it melts?
You should probably keep in mind that robots such as bmo were affected by elements. It makes sense considering everything is converted into an element.
It's still the robo arm
Just on fire
Turtle boi 33:15 no robot arm
Icified people/creatures remembering their old selves actually make sense. Ice preserves stuff. Pretty cool
Then shouldn’t the slime people also have their old selves? Slime sticks to stuff or vise versa
@@nothingfilms998 pretty sure the ice carol has memories because she's water
@@nothingfilms998I’m pretty sure they do. All that really seems to be different ,apart from their names and being slime, is that they want to be assimilated.
The saddest part about Elements was Patience cutting short Betty's attempt to bond with the IK outside of Simon. They looked so cute and like something could've been born there and maybe just maybe avoid so much tragedy.
Patience is a cvnt.
I agree. its one of the few times you see her just loving ice king because she loves Simon. she accepted him and allowed herself to be happy just in that one little moment. 'don't wanna stare at happiness too hard y'know.'
it broke my heart they couldn't just stay that way.
The reason Ice King reacted so harshly to the two Finns joke was because he had enough of classic Simon left in him to realize that there were also two of himself, Ice King and Simon. The comment about the one on top being fake was a subconscious way of saying the Ice King, the personality on top or being presented was not the true Simon, and only a fake, magic mutated form of himself.
Oh damn.
Oh damn.
Oh Damn
Oh damn.
Oh damm
'I really like what Ice King said to Betty "look lady, I don't know you and you don't know me, but we're the only two sane ones left in this messed-up world. Or, maybe the rest of the world's okay and we're the ones losing our marbles." As with a lot of their quotes, this one hit me hard. And in the context, with both of them loosing themself to the sad and mad world of wizarding, it was so sweet and sad.
@GachaAnthonny no but at the same time she's not stupid
I feel like ice king has slowly been regaining his sanity throughout the show
@@firewarrior8298 maybe not his sanity, but definitely his clarity. He was starting to keep his mind straight and focused.
Okay but hear me out- The people who are iced- turn cold. They don't lose their memories BECAUSE- those memories- event the happy ones- are turned into cold reminders of their past lives. The people who are fired- are hot headed. Their memories fuel their rage. People who are slimmed don't honestly change that much, simply because of how literally versatile they are. Finally- those who were candified- became happier. Simply because- and yes- pun intended- their memories got sugar coated. Their minds got literally glazed over-.
Yes i'm late- but not really- this is just the first time I thought to ever say something about it.
That's pretty much what I thought. It makes sense too. When you're happy, you don't think about sad times or anything troubling. Being overly happy would probably make you forget about those memories completely. They don't even have to be sad memories, just memories that might be troubling or even memories that have the slightest bit of complexity that can't just be suppressed.
When you're sad or even apathetic, you probably do remember happy memories, but instead of viewing them as happy, you might view them as a time of "being better" even if you don't know why. All you know is that you're not happy now. You still have all of your memories, but the feeling that those memories contain is either erased and washed up.
When you're angry, you're incompetent and any type of memories, happy or sad, aren't even thought about. All you see is red, and all you know is that you want to take it out on someone even if they have nothing to do with it.
I'd argue that slime is self-indulgence, lazy, or over contentment with how things are. You're being passive in a situation where conflict is needed. Being sluggish, lazy, and unbothered by generally everything. You kinda go with the flow, which makes sense as to why Jake was susceptible to it. You still have your memories, but they're not at the forefront of your mind. They're not your main focus, so you don't think about it all that much. All you want to do is have fun, indulge yourself, not necessarily be happy since that requires too much energy, but to be satisfied with no sense of self-preservation which is why Slime Princess doesn't fight against it. She just doesn't care enough.
All of these things are what people have felt at a certain point in their lives, so it makes sense that this is what the elements would be based on.

Theory: If ice King was elementified, and was transformed back he would transform into simon. And maybe if the ice crown was also elementified i would go back to giving a wish
This is a good theory!
Lsp does do something to sweet pea , so there a good chance it would have an effect on Simon.
@@Judith-2001 *wait*... why didn't sweet pea turn back into the lich?!
@@chamberstommy I guess its the same way pb didn't turn back into a wad of gum, the candy people didn't turn into piles of sugar and jelly beans, and how marceline kept her vampirism. The magical essence still exists, just no longer corrupted and elementified. sweet pea is the lich, just not dead and bloodlusted
@@chamberstommy good question. I was wondering the same thing
Ice king in the suit and glasses was my favorite he has ever looked. In fact, I think he looked better than most new looks for cartoon characters. It was great
True
Imagine if Marceline was in fire kingdom during the accident...
Oh no ohhhhhh nooooooo

*s h i t*
52:58
I just noticed that Uncle Gumbald, Aunt Lolly and Cousin Chicle were intentionall separated from the group of candy-fied creatures...
The later episode "Ketchup" implies that Marceline went to Patience St. Pim to stop the transformations before PB fully transformed, but when she saw the transformation complete, she let herself be transformed too.
Betty's outfit was the magic hat (yellow with the blue strap).
Jack Conlon or from kill bill
But in another clip she was wearing the outfit and the hat.
I thought it was April O'Neil.
@@myles5096 definitely was reminded of the Bride, too. (Uma Thurman's character)
Matthew Gallaway same
Idk if this means anything, but Marceline once told bmo a story about how her bestfriend (pb) was becoming a potato, and she was trying to cure her. But once she had the cure, her bestfriend became a potato tower, and she accepted her faith as a potato aswell, so they both became potatoes. I think that might be a hint to how Marceline became a marshmallow. Maybe she wanted PB to change, but after realizing she couldn't, she gave in.
SugarAmped uh
This was a sadly under rated comment
**well duh**
This is defenetly the case. Why else make such an comparison right after the events took place.
Ketchup
50:27 i feel like ice king’s glasses flying off as he exclaims that he is his own person and deserves respect can be seen as a metaphor. Simon’s glasses fly off and ice king is being his own person. Its a great touch even if it wasn’t on purpose
I wish Rainicorn was Candified from the start, just so they could call her CandyCorn
I think that
CANDY: Makes you forget your past and accept the present, without shackles of future or past people are happy and docile
"All The Candy People"
ICE: Forces you to focus on the past, unable to forget memories and impossible to remove yourself from depression and pain
"Patience Still Having her 'Party'"
FIRE: Allows you to remember and think but causes you to focus on things you can't control and be angry at it
"Finn Fighting His Heroic Rage"
SLIME: Amplifies your emotions so that people can live an a euphoric high the closer they get to the elements
"Slime Princess Absorbing People"
Na unsa ka?
@@3ksubswithoutanyvideo726 uy hi fellow bisaya
LUMP : Naaaahhh
"Lumpy space princess attitude"
@@3ksubswithoutanyvideo726 wtf yuck
LUMP : Not caring about anything.
Did anyone else notice at 54:22, the shape of the continent of Ooo is a phoenix. Civilization, society, and life rising from the ashes of a dead world.
I kinda see it but I kinda don’t
I see it
I like the idea, but I don't think that was intentional
I think the reason why PB didn't take their all memories, because they remember what was "wrong" with them, what was causing them pain and, in some cases, suffering, and that's why the candified people were extremely loyal to her. In my opinion, PB had has some messiah-complex, and in this miniseries, I clearly saw that.
(Sorry for grammar)
Yeah it’s kinda like a cult in a way as cults as usual pray on weaknesses and act like they care about you but in reality there just manipulating you to become super dependent on them.
Achoose gooses' rhyme should have been: "what's the point in having friends, when in time everything ends."
It wasn't just a joke about two Finns. Ice king said "they've got a picture of your best friend on them" Finn's shirt had Ice King on it, so when Finn put on the second shirt Ice King interpreted it as Ice King not being Finn's best friend. That was why he screamed
Lol
But after he said “oh I get it, the top ones fake”
J Cs That... is still just a joke. Actually, you just explained the joke
Yas
@@umbreonfoxy4264 Because if the top "best friend" is fake, then the Ice King is still Finn's best friend.
only now did i realize that lemongrab has the same voice as mr.meseeks
Lemongrab is voiced by justin roiland
The same guy who voice acts rick, Morty, mr. Meeseeks, and many more
Ashton Alderman also Blendin Blandin
I already knew that and I’m happy I do
He was the creator of Rick and Morty and voices both the main characters.
Justin Roiland voices anywhere between 60% and 100% of characters in a given Rick and Morty episode, including Rick and Morty themselves. He also voices Lemongrab
Another bit of LSP foreshadowing is that in the intro the candy is spreading towards her, yet the first episode she appears in, she was supposedly turned into slime. Meaning when the candy touched her, she wasn’t effected by it.
Betty's outfit is permanently like that to show the damage, and lasting effects, from her brush with magic.
Even when she tries to shed down her facade of Magic Woman and be herself, she can't.
She is not Betty. She is Magic Woman.
Nice Parallel with Ice king !!! Cool!!!
I’m sad I was never able to watch the show/get into it because gosh this writing is so cool and creative
That's a great point. Just like Ice King isn't Simon-he's Ice King-Magic Woman isn't Betty, she's Magic Woman
It's like poetry.
@@KaminoKatie sad twisted poetry... 😭😭
Idk why “ Betty “ being called Magic Woman makes me laugh-
When Simon shrunk the crown and did a comb over, I automatically smiled.
Same here
You call her Betty But I prefer the name Weird lady
Weird Letty
Peewee Herman 8:23 Kill Bill Bride’s outfit when she’s in Japan?
@@sirsmiteful6285 no I dont think it is I think it is just supposed to match the magic hat
Able Kitten fair enough. Also, is magic woman a magical girl? *insert thonk*
I prefer toucan
I think Prismo and The Cosmic Owl's reaction to Betty say she will stop the mushroom war stems from the fact that an alternate timeline where Finn wished for the Lich never existed created a mess so big they needed the Maid to clean it up. Creating these alternate timelines might also create alternate Liches which exist as an existential threat to all of existence.
"Finn has to finish this quest without his best friend by his side..."
and, worse, he has to deal with LSP along the way.
LSP wasn’t too much of an annoyance- she actually helped him more than get in his way.
(but yeah overrall LSP is usually a jerk)
Poor slime princess, she is too short to hold the other princesses hands :)
I think Fin being the most susceptible to the fire realm helps further the connection between him and Flame Princess
coming back 3 years later to say i think this is a lame take now lol
I think it's more a matter of ideals aligning. BMO, a happy-go-lucky character, was more susceptible to candification than Finn and Jake, while Jake, a more laid-back character, was more susceptible to slimification. Finn meanwhile is more of a fighter, so naturally he was the most susceptible to the fire kingdom
I genuinely think it has something to do with Finns anger as well. He shows it many times and in moments of frustration he does the Finn scream "rrrRRRRRRagggghhhhh!!" Exactly as he does when he is turned to flame. His rage even goes to affect how he view bubble gum (in the sense it took him a moment to calm down even when he thought of her, the fire burned up the thought first.)
That, and it also fits with probably what's going on his head all the time since he discovered his biological father, suffering from trauma of every shape, size, and severity, and of course puberty. Basically, I think Finn has a surplus of repressed rage boiling in his soul, and the Fire Element caught that.
I never felt right about finn being turned, personally it just bugged me that finn who has grown a lot over the years and has become less senslessly violent, only violent when he needs to defend the ones he loves. It felt out of character to me, especially since Sweet P was never candified, Its because he was the lich right? A reincarnation of the catalyst comet, same as finn. So shouldn't his natrually magic body resist the elements? Also Also, didn't betty case "The Most Powerful Flame Shield" like Cinnamon Bun, who resisted the fire because of said flame shield. Pretty significant plot hole. And on a side note I also personally didn't like how jake "died" in the prior episode he was genuinely vulnerable about how scared and worried he was about his pups and lady. And yet in the next episode he is immediately no care in the world cheering with the slime people and willingly being absorbed into SP. It just left a bad taste after such a sweet moment of vulnerability. (Also this is just my opinion, things I thought were holes in the story and things I just didn't like. If you like it, that's great and I respect that)
*finn
I recently finished the show. I honestly forgot they were hangers, I thought they were barbed wire
They would bleed
You ain’t alone-

They're SKYHOOKS!
12:43 Ice king at the end of the reaction says "oh i get it, the top one is fake" that means he really thought both finn heads were real, like the ooze zombie monsters from when the mushroom bomb exploted, some of them with multiple faces, arms, mouths, etc. He is basically having a ptsd panic attack in that moment, is not a simple gag is actually terrifying how even he dosent remember being simon he has some recollection of the trauma that was fighting those mutated ppl.
Like imagine al those represed memories of what use to be ppl crowling in the grown moving like insects with the miltiple limbs, faces, eyes, mouths, trying to get to you and make you one of them meanwhile them mumble gibrish, in top of that being somone you care about that you know personal info of them to the point of knowing there measurements for clothes. Like ice king even if he has no recollection of simon, he has the spirit of him, he never trully hurt anyone or killed anyone in the series, he just looks for princesses cuz he se to call betty that and the trauma of she disappearing(and he thinking he killed her when he was not in control) and finn, somone you used to fight and that is now ur friend and actually worries about you having the appearance of an ooze? I also would be terrified, also sometimes when ice king takes care or worries about someone else remembers me how simon used to worry about Marceline...
yes that makes sense
37:22 everything changed when the fire nation attacked
Only the avatar, the master of all four elements could stop them. Vut when the world needed him most, he vanished.
He's definitely mixing up the 4 temperaments in associating with the elements. Phlegmatic was candy, and sanguine was slime. It seems easy to associate "sweet" behavior with candy, but in reality slime was the most active, social, and enthusiastic. Aspects of calm, peacefulness, and apathy very clearly correlate with the candy element, as even more than "happiness" they show an extreme adaptability and trend towards absolute complacency of their dystopic society. In terms of happiness, candy embodies contentment, not joy, so phlegm makes more sense for them.
Great connection though, I think the 4 humors exactly describe the emotional states of the elements!
Nah
@@turothecreator3067 yah
@@turothecreator3067 are you just ignorant...

46:20 Ironically, PB had the hardest time actually learning to use her powers in earlier episodes.
It's not that she had a hard time learning her powers, candy is one of the weakest elementals and the hardest to use, even the original candy elemental only used jelly beans. PB learned to MASTER the candy elemental through her vast scientific knowledge and therefore was more attuned with the candy elemental
@@_BlackeyeGaming candy is NOT the weakest of elements. infact if you get creative with it just like soda, mints, and etc it can be the most powerful element. aside from fire.
@@nghkazuha6804 I feel like it is more of a double-edged sword since the user's perspective of the power itself correlates with the power of the candy elemental.
Hannah Mireles So it’s more nuanced than ice or fire, which are generally simple and brute force in their offensive capability.
I really like your “reviews” because it just feels like geeking out about adventure time with a friend lol. I just watched like 6 hours of your content. So good job my guy!

I think cutting to prismo and the magic owl watching on the wall of prismo's time room was just a gag to poke fun at reality television. These two characters are kind of like gods in this universe so they're the audience reacting to the drama of their favorite show.
Also its the equivalent of breaking a canon event
The line of Achoos Goose fits in with the apathetic aspect though, he didn't care enough to put any effort in to make it catchier
Touché.
It kinda deeply unsettled me, that way he said it
Candy, Ice, Fire, Slime...
Long ago the four kingdoms lived in harmony but then everything changed when Patience attacked
redloiyu654jay
Damn!!!!
Wait.... did you just make an avatar reference how have I never thought of that best comment ever
Magic Wizards haha Avatar
Well there was a lot of tension between Fire and Candy, with PB even going so far as to sabotage Fire Kingdom’s weapon stockpile
Magic Wizards is that an undertale reference
At 48:21 when he said “LSP can reject magic” It’s weird that In season 1, episode 25 we see lumpy space princess become a cyborg from a ‘magic’ nail used by Finn.
I dont think the they expected the show to last long, some parts are questionable and fuzzy in earlier years
By what he means is rejecting elemental magic
I'm pretty sure its only elemental magic
"Elements might just be my favorite mini series in Adventure Time"
Stakes: *say sike right now*
The way Prismo and Cosmic Owl reacted towards Betty doing what she was doing, was probably because she was committing a cosmic crime i think.
Calling Ice King "Simon" is like calling Darth Vader "Anakin" they have they and body technically but they are not the same person at all
And it just doesn't feel right
But we know Darth Vader will never come back, yet ice King has a chance. The comparison doesn't entirely apply due to the two characters holding very different positions in their respective stories.
And also the fact that Ice King doesn't randomly kill people for saying his real name
Except Vader or rather anakin came back as well as death Vader just doing things because anakin thought he couldn’t go back they are one and the same it’s more closer to Vader anakin Simon and ice king are on different sides of the same coin only one can ever be seen but they know they are one and the same
@@raebort2525 wait.... Did you watch star wars???
@@raebort2525 ,,
Marcelines story to BMO about her experience as a Candy person was truly sad, she tried to save PB only to realize it was too late and there was nothing she could do and finally jsut accepted it alone and sad only to be turned into the joyful campfire queen but within is just a forceful acceptiom
I’m gonna say the part with prismo and cosmic owl is actually because there changing time messing with the natural balance
50:58 It's probably because Betty was going to commit a cosmic crime on a scale never seen before. She was going to create a completely new reality, and possibly obliterate one in the process. It's a violation of the natural order being done so carelessly, only Prismo is actually allowed to do that.
What I love about Finn's comment: "Looks like we're at the bottom of the ocean" is that it harkens back to the episode about fears, where Finn did actually go to the bottom of the ocean.
I love how Betty goes on a crazy rant about how she might be able to go back in time and stop the mushroom war from happening, and then it just cuts to Prismo and the Cosmic Owl being like: “oh shit-“ is hilarious, Betty’s laugh is amazing
I think the reason pb could overpower the other powers was because she decided to take an active attempt to convert people. Every elemental was passively taking over their areas because the land changed without them choosing to, but pb went out of her way to overpower them. Also like you said, sp and patience didn’t put up the effort to stop it and fp didn’t get the time to prevent it.
Personally I believe Prismo and Cosmic Owls reactions are because what Betty is doing, trying to go back and change so many major events, might be considered a cosmic crime
50:30 also, the glasses that ice King wore was perfectly timed. When he was wearing it, he said "I'm must be a special person" (I know the dialogue isn't accurate) referring to him being Simon before, then when it was removed by the wind Ice King claimed to be worthy of respect as a different person showing that he is a different individual. It's just a perfect resemblance. Notice my comment :
12:30 Finn says it's like being at the bottom of the ocean yet he is completely calm saying it. So he did overcome his fear of the ocean... If I recall correctly it wasn't explicitly stated previously. But I may be wrong IDK. Didn't notice it until now though
He overcame his fear doing the billy checklist, one listed item was to float in the ocean so finn had to overcome that fear to finish Billy's bucket list.
which if I remember correctly was before these events

It's kind of odd actually, Ice King only ever called his penguins Gunther, with different pronunciations.

Maybe cuz of the crowns influence
"The inter-dimensional being that impregnated his father" yknow,,, i never thought i'd hear that sentence
Mpeg!writers: allow us to introduce ourselves
Especially not from a cartoon network series
I really wish I thought the same or was at least mildly surprised.
It was mainly LSP commenting about Finn having a “Tight butt” that really threw me off.. (just... contextually more than concept)
@@captainbirch9835 if it was any series, it’d be AT (maybe gimbal idk.)
There have been a couple MPreg episodes on kids cartoons.... unfortunately... just not on CN (unless TTG has done anything that I don’t know about,, or anyone else)
@@sammygecko_ he's 18 in the later episodes sooooooooo
I like how HW was there at the end ,even though she was absent through the whole mini series. What what element did she transform into???
Sorry I can only read HW as Home Work and I’m so confused
@@sammygecko_ huntress wizard
Maybe they used magic to avoid turning. Hiding in a cloud.
Prolly candy since she lives in the forests which are established to be near the candy kingdom
@@lordsubjugator4046 What candy would HW be..?
Maybe that one “ forest “ brand of gummy bears-
14:00
I think you’re giving her undeserved credit. People losing their memories didn’t seem to be intentional, it was because (as far as I can tell) their elemental qualities were so pure that they became seemingly, focused, and 2D in their thought processes. Their depth was removed. The candy is about happy thoughts and a desire to push out bad thoughts, which is good and bad. It can help us to cope but it can also lead to airheadedness and recklessness.
If Betty destroy the ice crown, Simon won't come to help Marcy, Marcy wont kill the vampier which mean there're no island which mean no Finn, ect. If she stop the mushroom bomb, the whole world will be similar to farm world and we all know how it end.
there would be no funky adventures anymore??
Duy Khang Trần I doubt it, Don't forget in the farm world timeline, after Simon died the crown plunged the world in ice for 400ish years. By doing that it destroyed civilization. If Betty destroyed the crown, the world would have been the same as it is now. (Of course if she could stop the mushroom war from happing) But that what I think
According to the new Fionna and Cake episode, you're 100% right.
53:12 I'm pretty sure Sweet P saying "excuse me" was just a fart joke to throw people off, since most people were probably expecting something Lich-related to immediately happen.
Did anybody notice that at 50:10 when IK affirms his own identity, the glasses (which can be associated with Simon) go flying off?
The “let me call you sweetheart” thing is actually somewhat terrifying. I kinda stopped watching the show midway through 2011, as I felt like I was growing past a few CN shows, even as a 13 year old
so I pretty much only had a viewing experience of back when it was a “Boy and his shape shifting dog” show, I heard from a few of my friends who still watched, and TH-camrs in the animation reviewer community that the world got more fleshed out and it developed an overarching story. And I read brief summaries of it here and there. But for some reason I’m just diving deep into it now two years after I saw clips of the finale.
I'm in a similar situation. I stopped as I kinda grew out ot TV but still saw the transition. It was fairly subtle actually. I stopped somewhere in the middle of all the seasons and am only here because I heard that it finally ended and I want to catch up
@@Firesgone interesting to hear somebody who had a similar experience
I feel so outta place cause..
My mum didn’t let me watch it-

Ice king might have returned all the hooks but then... stole them again for something
The Candy element corresponds to the Sanguine temperament; the characters "fixed" by Princess Bubblegum exhibit the general emotional traits of the temperament: happiness, enthusiasm/excitement, positivity/optimism, joy.
The Ice element corresponds to the Melancholic temperament; the characters residing in Patience St. Pim's dome (including Patience herself) exhibit the emotional traits of the temperament: negativity/pessimism, quietness, sadness/depression.
The Slime element corresponds to the Phlegmatic temperament; the characters at the Slime Kingdom skate party, most notably Jake when being assimilated, exhibit the general demeanor of the temperament: apathetic, sluggish, uninterested, placid.
The Fire element corresponds to the Choleric temperament; the characters residing in the Fire Kingdom exhibit the traits of the temperament: aggressiveness, irascibility, anger/irritability.
17:05 probably not the first person, but I just realized she looks almost exactly like the Empress early concept sketch
Looked up what you were talking about and patience was somewhere in the results so I think you (or a bunch of people at once) are on to something
22:13
Ah I love it when Jake & Finn are referred to as brothers!
And how instead of “kids” they get called “pups” yaknow, because dog family
Prismo and the Cosmic Owl are worried because maintaning reality and keeping it in a stable state is apparently their jobs.
i think that prismo would be worried because oldman prismo/jake would be effected i think
I always thought it was because the mushroom bomb exploding was a set event in space-time, and it's what started the great mushroom war, but it would also remove the alternate timeline Jake who became the new physical body of Prismo from existence, thus destroying Prismo, as for the Cosmic Owl's worry, if I had to guess it's simply because Prismo's one of the few beings he can interact with, without worrying about altering space-time too much
haha apparently XD so true
well now we know EVERYTHING
Al questions have been answered
I think Betty or Magic Woman's suit is a reference to Uma Thurman's character in Kill Bill, except for the black.
Also, I realized that I wrote this way after the video was uploaded... I like to binge watch 😬

13:30 - Water has memory. Which is most likely why anyone turned to ice has their memory.
“Hopefully the ice king and Betty story will end on a happy note”

@Brendan does Stuff I just realized that people in Adventure Time use "Glob" as a pseudo-swear word, while Golb is a malevolent deity that exists. Maybe the same thing as "Jeez"/"Jesus"?

Who knows how it will end
It’s adventure time!
Charles Brown jr that’s really good
I wonder what paitences gender swapped version would be
You mean Benny.
@@alejandrotenorio80 The name of Patience St. Pim's gender swapped counterpart is Patrice St. Pim.
I assume before Ice Queen went nuts, her name would have been Simone.
It's like that quote from Frozen 2: Water has memory. The water that makes up you and me has passed through at least four humans, and, or animals, before us.
Maybe that's why the ice creatures remember a bit more of their pasts.
I’m almost sure Marcy told someone that she basically surrendered herself to the candification so that she COULD stay by PB’s side.
It was very sweet.
I love how it is MEGAreview of MINIseries : )

You failed to mention God Emperor of Dune which extremely heavily impacted and influenced this story and Princess Bubblegum
well it's more than one episode unlike the other reviews

I have an idea on the memories of all the candyfied/slimed/fired/frozen characters. Each one is a metaphor for looking at traumatic events, ie. In the show, ooo being corrupted. In candy, they lose all their memories and are replaced with artificial happiness, like maybe how a sad,depressed or grieving person may take to drugs to find a way out. In the slime area, they are all trying to live "in the moment" and run away from their problems. In the fire kingdom may be finding overwhelming, unsatiable anger at whatever had caused them harm. And lastly, in frozen waste is where the people feel sad and guilty, to a point of little motivation, much like the saying, "crying does less to fix a situation then going and doing something about it"
The Amazoness great theory!
Slime's personality, arguably, involved being involved with her subjects and embracing the diversity of those who helped her achieve certain goals. in her element form she was essentially, "All become one and the same as I." this opposition as well as the lack of self defense could also be why she was so easily candied.
Watched all episodes in order during summer 2023. Your analysis is astute and fantastic ‼️
In regards to Prismo and Cosmic Owl's reaction, I think it's just because the Mushroom War was such a huge, impactful event, possibly a fixed point in time. No doubt countless realities hinge on it happening. While yes, the multiverse is infinite, I like to imagine in the cosmic scheme of things, there are "core realities", as has been theorized about the way the multiverse in Rick and Morty works. The Mushroom War, while awful from a human/mortal perspective, probably needs to happen.
As for the personalities associated with the four elements, I don't know much about the four humors, but the way I interpreted it was that each of the elementals became a reflection of how they feel inside. Bubblegum we've seen several times would like to forego being a leader and a scientist in favor of a simpler, fun-filled life. "Too Young" is the best example, but we also see it in Burning Low and the Pajama War. Flame Princess is a dignified and empathetic ruler, but she has very chaotic roots. "Fire's purpose is to burn" she once said in reference to herself. She only is the way she is now through conscious effort. Slime Princess, from what little we've seen of her, seems to be a party girl at heart, so Slime Kingdom became one big party. And Patience we know the least about. However, it isn't that much of a stretch to assume her animated, extroverted exterior hides a lot of doubt, pessimism, and apathy. That's often the case for people; they overcompensate for their emotional shortcomings by making their personalities more aggressive and "out there" to distract people from the truth. But that's just my interpretation.
I like that interpretation a lot, though I never got the impression that PB did anything that would be fun purely for her own sake. If anything, she just magnified her imperialistic tendencies.
True, but it can be seen in all the candified people. They all have a disturbing child-like innocence. They're TOO innocent, unchecked in their detachment from the world. While Bubblegum's imperialistic tendencies were amplified, she did it with this same pseudo-naivety.
Ghostsurfer421 Well it could be that Finn was around to stop the Lich.
Remember the Lich was around as a catalyst comet/primordial monster before the Mushroom War. The Mushroom War just gave the Lich a body. It's entirely possible that he would have found a way to kill everyone after he got (or found) a body. Remember Finn wouldn't have the tools to stop him here and the Ice Crown wouldn't be there to save him. Prismo, the Cosmic Owl, and the Universe all would've been fucked.
Uncivilized Elk Cosmic owl and prismo probably had an extreme reaction for the same reason prismo was scared of his boss. (prismo mentions his boss during "crossover" I think). Like jermaine, they have a career in the supernatural. Like martin, certain things are cosmic crimes. C.O. and prismo were probably shocked because of their general responsibility in handling these two things.
Ghostsurfer421
it's kind of intriguing that we need bad things to happen for good things to occur

Dude if I ever heard that I’d laugh way too hard-
Lumpy Space Princess is my favorite character in all of cartoon history.
Oh my goodness, what if the baby fire wolf from "Thank You" is cinnamon buns trusted companion? And more important, I'd like to note that fire wolf is a god-tier pun on Rpg DnD Dire wolves, and it must be known!
I interpreted Cosmic Owl's and Prismo's reactions to mean that the Mushroom War is incredibly important to the cosmos/timeline.
That was my theory
The only universe that the mushroom war never happened in was the farmword universe, which almost had the lich take over the multiverse.
I love how Elk gushes at the sentimental moments of these episodes. Reminds me of how these episodes made me feel. I would love to have a group of friends to gush about these episodes with. That's often why I enjoy these videos.
12:12
so basically finn has a stand?
