Comedy in Obsidian - Adventure Time: Distant Lands Analysis

[@theextrawoman]

My favorite joke was when young Marceline excitedly turns the lights on when she enters the bunker and then immediately turns them off again when she sees the skeletons. It's morbid but so bluntly relatable.

Alternatively, the moderation poster being underneath more recent posters signifies that the domineering part of her life is over, but is still a thing that she needs to remember happened, which fits in with the special and its emphasis on pb and marcy's growth as people while still being aware of what they've done in the past

[@uncivilizedelk]

That's a great reading of it. Some people pointed out that we saw that poster before unobstructed in "Son of Rap Bear," so it checks out that citizens feel comfortable partially obscuring it with other posters and flyers in the present when PB has backed off due to self-moderating how she rules the candy peeps. Including that poster in this special works on a lot of layers, which is so cool!

YEARS after Adventure Time ended and this guy is STILL making me realize that this show was MUCH deeper than I gave it credit for. I suppose binge watching a good chunk of it all at once was a mistake. The show was never meant to be binge watched (The specials aside of course) and some questions were never meant to have solid answers, only speculative theories at best. Distant Lands, though, is a fantastic opportunity to dive back in for some much better character development and world building that the show didn't have a chance of doing due to... a number of reasons probably, but mostly do to the fact that it... well... ended. Here's hoping that we get some more answers in the next two specials! (I'm personally hoping we see whatever became of Finn's and Huntress Wizard's relationship)

[@uncivilizedelk]

I think binge watching for the very first viewing ever might not be ideal (although it would no doubt very from person to person). I think maybe chunks of 7 episodes at a time every few days (or once a week) is what I would recommend though. On rewatches though, the show works excellently both in binge form and not.

Honestly, I'm not a big fan of many lgbt couples in media because of what some writers call the "checkbox mentality," but I can appreciate a lot of Marceline and Bonnie's relationship. Obsidian is actually my favorite out of all of the specials. Personally, what made me laugh the most in this special, besides Choose Goose, was when Marceline insists on singing another angry song to subdue the monster and tries to sing a song about how Bonnie used her brush without asking only for it to not even be an angry memory because she didn't mind. Honestly, that was both so funny but also so wholesome and cute. Gay or straight, the current relationship between these two are pure, healthy relationship goals, no matter how uncomfortable Marcy is with it at first. It's at that point she realizes that she's not used to a healthy relationship or one that manages to stay for very long. Her coming to terms with that and being able to embrace the "mushy" or "soft" side of her is the overall outcome of the special.

Her younger self is kind of a huge jerk and given what we know about her childhood, it's easy to see how she's spent a lot of time doubling down on her worst traits. She's also had a long life and distance from her initial transformation may have helped as well.

[@tipsy634]

I was thinking of that video as I watched this episode too, it makes far more sense why Marcy's character was the way she was

[@uncivilizedelk]

Yeah it's awesome that you remembered that! I was actually thinking about how this retroactively smooths out her character transition more.

My favorite joke has to be juice goose's rhyme because I didn't see the cart of moisturizer at the start so when he said "non the wiser" I was actually thinking the writers had to come up with something on the spot to rhyme with that.

[@janabanana78]

It’s cute that there’s a scene where PB and Marcy are sleeping together, it kinda means that they worked on their sleepy time just to well sleep together, side by side 🌈✨🥰

[@homeguard8481]

Oh yeah because showing children that this should "normal" is definitely healthy for them.

To me it was definitely Marceline playing three people (including Bonnie’s relative reaction) and the NOOOOOOOOO to the ominous disclosure of Marcy managing to overcome her internal issues.

I just found this dudes channel recently and I've been loving the content. I've noticed Uncivilized Elk has been going through some stuff though, depression is no fun. Hopefully you're doing good, man I'll be praying for you 👍

[@shannonsohn9818]

The ooowww, ooowwww, oooowwww that hurrttttssss. Also, the classic reference to the banana guards yelling, we woo we woo we woo when ever they come to fight

[@zevfriedman348]

The banana guards throwing spears at marceline really got me

[@noooplease1707]

my personal fave was when glass princess broke and tied herself together, a person in the crowd says "she got pants now".

[@dotXyore]

You missed the best part of the ending. When Finn's towel flies off and Bubblegum responds with nothing but an 'eh'.

[@tipsy634]

I wish the best for your future videos on this, I'm looking forward to hear you talk more about Marcy and Pb's relationship, including how Marcy's childhood ties in with who she became, how she's different now, how PB is different too but not unfamiliar, and maybe that flashback at the end which takes place while Pb appears to be in her middle teens

[@tazk3397]

Glass boy's reaction to larvo's transformation being like "aww eww but mostly aww" got me laughing way more than I should😂

I really hope he's dead because it would be an awesome narration device I'm sick of happy endings, someone needs to die from time to time haha

loving this new format! if anything deserves a more spread out series of analysis', its obsidian

[@wildwesley9328]

You skipped my favorite comedic moment. Marcy: “A wave of acceptance has washed over me...” PB: “... Noooooooooooooooooo!!!!!!!” That part killed me. The timing was so good.

[@KaraokeDeepCuts]

I'm still here for the Marcy and Elise video if you ever feel inspired again! Also looking forward to the rest of the F&C vids of course :)

[@BatSnakegirl]

PB just saying "eh" when Finn's towel blew away was a killing blow to that whole moment. So not only is he just nude to the whole Glass Kingdom, but his boss and first crush not being impressed...

[@tipsy634]

Finn didnt seem bothered

[@joecastle288]

been checking every day since obsidian came out to see if you had commented on it yet, can't wait for the rest!

[@cameronscott5649]

I'm excited for the Pep But episode cuz I wanna learn more about how the candy kingdom is doing, especially since PB is not living there all the time

[@toastedjam1470]

Yea pep but is one of them characters that needed more screen time. Like nectar or cinnamon bun

[@puzzle_moon]

i think the episode is gonna take place in wizard city tho

[@timelordacaelus5959]

5:47 I don't think there's actually much to analyze here. Simon basically spent the last 1000+ years in a fever dream where he was a senile immortal king with ice powers and enough weird issues to make even Freud's head spin. Coming off from that is a major shift in his life, his psyche, and how he see's himself. So his coping is perhaps a way for him to mitigate a desire to return to the form of the Ice King simply because its what he was for a literal millennia. Or perhaps he's experiencing some sort of magical withdrawal - esque effect and this coping helps to quell that. We'll never really know, but I personally don't think its too hard to put together.

In the bunker there's just a pile of money with a side that says "For toilet paper use only."

[@Gidinam]

All the comedy in obsidian was spot on, I couldn't help but laugh at so many parts. But at the same time, when Marcy returned to the bunker and hit the "play" button? I broke down into tears. Think of the implications of what she heard.

[@loganwendigo937]

I was worried about Distant Lands at first but BMO and Obsidian have been great! Can’t wait for the other 2 episodes

I just discovered your channel a few days ago and gotta admit I love all your analysis. Was waiting for this one. Let's go!!!

[@bachpham6862]

I wish they would also make an episode with Simon and Marcy. Maybe about how Simon became depressed after losing Betty and Marcy trying to cheer him on? Seriously, Marcy has the best character relationships.

[@_jagm_]

I love the deeper exploration of the "moderation" sign. I also never considered that Glassboy pointing out that Woke Up was about PB was actually a meta joke. I just thought Glassboy was being a dick lol
