[@MatthewTeachout-xj4yy]

Didn’t he get some abandonment issues from the same reason?

[@nappyk96]

@@MatthewTeachout-xj4yy Yeah, I think so. I think it is partially why he's so broken and desperate to return to these times in the fin and Jake distant lands special too. A lot of characters in fiction are very hit or miss with how they handle death. Fin is probably the best example of how to write a character who just can't handle it.

[@willw6504]

Yeah, the "direct continuation" thing is a little... unlikely? While it can be seen that way, the presence of Flame Princess, the Lich, and the Ghost Girl in the dream, and Finn knowing about them, would suggest that this is a second encounter with the Worm King and not the same one we saw back in season 1.

[@filipeoliveiraladislau4533]

[@Hexacosichoron12]

True

[@MattTOB618]

​@@filipeoliveiraladislau4533 It's really a paradox: Finn knows Marceline while he's still trying to get with Bubblegum (Season 2 Episode 20, "Go With Me"), but Finn finally losing his will to go after PB is what prompts Jake to seek out Flame Princess. Flame Princess is also 14 in her debut, and Finn is stated to be the same age as her (Jake specifically asks Flambo about Princesses the same age as Finn, and Jake reiterates their age connection when he meets Flame King).

[@willw6504]

@@filipeoliveiraladislau4533 ... no, it really, really doesn't. Any attempt to place Marceline after FP ignores the massive amount of character growth Finn undergoes between season1 and 4.

Fun Facts about this episode: The sword that Finn conjures in his dream has the same appearance as the sword from the Adventure Time logo, except with minor color differences. The sword stuck on the ground near the skulls seen at the end of the opening theme song also looks like it. The symbols used below the promo art are examples of optical illusions. This is the first episode where Finn calls Peppermint Butler "Pep But." Almost all of the major characters are seen in this episode, the only major character not seen is Marceline. Lady Rainicorn speaks English in this episode. The scarf that Joshua knits looks similar to the scarf that Tree Trunks knitted in Legends of Ooo. When Finn chases after King Worm in the room with Lady and Jake, you can see Finn's echo run backwards in the mirror. The ambient background music heard when Finn sees his alternate form in the mirror will later be heard later on throughout a few later episodes. When Finn looks in the mirror, he sees another version of himself. The mushroom cloud that comes out of Princess Bubblegum's cup has been seen to come from mushroom bomb and the Lich's Well of Power. The Shark Sword was seen again in Break the Worm, a playable game on the Cartoon Network website. Throughout the dream, the ear in Finn's hat are longer than usual, like how Fionna's hat is. They return back to normal when he wakes up. There is a PHIL FACE in the title card. In the Korean dub of this episode, Lady Rainicorn sounds normally and she still speaks Korean. Episode connections: The king worm had hypnotised Finn and Jake in the end scene of "Evicted!". In this episode, when the dream is broken, the background and character positions are similar in both chapters. Finn's fears are all things that have been mentioned in past episodes: Fear Feaster and the Ocean from "Ocean of Fear." The Lich from "Mortal Folly." Princess Bubblegum saying that Finn is "too young" from the song My Best Friends in the World in "What Was Missing." And Jake telling Finn that he is "too young" for Princess Bubblegum multiple times in the series. Ghost Girl from "The Creeps." Clowns, such as in "Another Way." Likewise, Finn's dream seems to foreshadow future events: When Finn sees himself in the mirror, his reflection has a pointy nose, a mechanical arm, and bigger eyes. This reflection of Finn's will be later be seen in certain later episodes. The Lich's appearance in the dream foreshadows his return later on. The Gunter monster foreshadows his events in a later episode. Finn turning his and Jake's feet big is dreamed again by Jake in "The Lich," in which he got big feet. Ice King refers to Finn and Jake as Fionna and Cake, without knowing the difference. The gender-swapped counterparts first appear-in Ice King's imagination-in the eponymous season 3 episode, and will return in a season 5 episode. Baby Finn from "Memories of Boom Boom Mountain" and "Memory of a Memory" appears again. The shape of Lady Rainicorn's mouth is very similar to the design from the animated short. When Finn tries to pinch Jake, the title song from "His Hero" plays. Jake's bird feet are like the ones Jake gets from the power of the wand in the episode "The Wand." The hole that Finn and Jake travel through is literally a "wormhole" leading into another dream universe, foreshadowing & explained in a later episode. The first phrase "Long live the king" and Finn wearing a crown might foreshadows a later episode of an alternate world. Jake is playing his viola that he taped back together after he broke it in "What Was Missing." Lady Rainicorn speaking English in a very deep voice relates to the old man voice the Universal translator device gave her in "My Two Favorite People." Princess Bubblegum still has her new haircut from "Burning Low." After Princess Bubblegum said that she was having coffee with the Lich, she said "You're Too Young," which was the title of a Season 3 episode. When she says that, a green mushroom cloud appears from her cup. That cloud is exactly the same as the one in "Mortal Folly". The music in the long preview was used in the "Burning Low" trailer. Finn's extended ears appear again in a episode in a season 5 episode. All his fears seem to come from his belly button, just like the Fear Feaster in "Ocean of Fear." Cultural references: Some of the scenes were inspired by KZbin Poops. A possible one is when Finn says, "The worm!" and a blue colored Finn appears out of nowhere, repeating in a squeaky voice, "The worm!" The scene where Finn's head turned into a shape for a while after going into a hole is a reference to Tom and Jerry. The way Finn and Jake jump resembles the animation of Super Mario Bros. 3. When Phil appears he says, "Satori," which is a term used to define a deep meditative state in which an individual becomes enlightened. This episode refers to lucid dreaming, since Finn knows he is dreaming. The idea of King Worm using Finn's dreams and sucking his life energy is inspired by the Mara, a lady from Germanic Folklore that turns dreams into nightmares and drains life energy. Storyline analysis: Before it is revealed that Finn is dreaming, the unusual size of the ears on his hat and the large crown similar to Ice King's he is wearing that later goes floating towards the roof hint at it; not to mention Princess Bubblegum calling him 'my king' and 'husband'. Also, when Finn looks at the Banana Guards for the second time now they are upside down. This is also true of Finn when he believes he has woken up with Jake, as the ears on his hat are still larger than normal. Only when he actually wakes up do they return to regular size. It would seem by the similarities between the end scene from this episode and the one from "Evicted!" that this episode's events are the dreams caused by the King Worm on that day. Several things in the dream hadn't been known to Finn yet at the time of "Evicted!" (his fear of the ocean, Ghost Girl, Flame Princess, etc.). This means that the events are not the same, and King Worm hypnotized them a second time. Production notes: The episode was originally titled "Worm King." Errors: In the final scene of the episode, when Finn and Jake are talking to each other, the background changes to the living room of The Treehouse, even though they were standing in the treasure room.

[@HeraclesN-fp1bw]

- King Worm is voiced by Erik Estrada who is famous for playing Ponch from the series CHiPs & he also voices Marco in Sealab 2021, but with the fact that while Finn dreams he sucks his life force maybe inspired by Mara a lady from Germanic folklore where she turns dreams into nightmares while draining your life - When Finn chases the worm into the hole but his face is altered by it is a reference to Tom & Jerry while his shark sword maybe a reference to the Samehada from Naruto

[@ghostsurfer23]

Pendleton Ward did a series of sketches with descriptions outlining the major characters in Adventure Time prior to it getting picked up. One of them was for the Lich (then called the Lich King) and the first thing it says in big bold letters is "THE LICH KING IS NOT FUNNY." Adventure Time is set in a world of whimsy and nonsense, but the Lich is fundamentally antithetical to said world. That's how powerful even his theoretical presence is.

Nux is on S4 of Adventure Time & surprised he's not fully aware of PHIL FACE If you don't know PHIL FACE is a running gag facial expression used often in Adventure Time It is meant to resemble the face of Adventure Time lead character designer Phil Rynda Adventure Time Creator Pen Ward has stated that if you tell Phil about "anything" he will get a super excited face that this is based off of Along with the Snail, it is an Easter egg. It is occasionally drawn into the show as an inside joke Pen Ward stated on his Spring that there is a Phil Face Princess; a character that hasn't appear onscreen, so don't bother expecting her to appear on Nux's Adventure Time Reactions

[@jaxcraft2848]

So what I think happened is that the worm came into their house last time just to make them hug him. This time, he came back to drain their life energy, which is why Finn now has that fear of the Lich, because this is after the Lich. And if that wasn't Jake in Finn's dream and the worm Finn was chasing after was a fake, was Jake trapped in his own dream?
