Finn, Bronwyn, and "Jake" in Obsidian - Adventure Time: Distant Lands Analysis

While Obsidian was about the relationship of Princess Bubblegum and Marceline the Vampire Queen, the brief appearance of Finn and Bronwyn raises tons of questions that fuel countless more speculations. Join me as I discuss how much time may have passed / how old Finn Mertens might be in this Distant Lands special, why Bronwyn tagged along in (what I presume to be Finn’s) van, and why the Land of Ooo’s most famous hero (who is now scruffy, bearded, and scarred-up) has a big chest tattoo of his brother Jake the Dog who is nowhere to be found. Things get rather sad, because yeah, I personally am convinced that Jake is dead, but I do find bittersweet sentiment in the gonzo chest tattoo that Jake has been memorialized with on Finn’s pecs. Even if Jake did die, his spirit surely lives on in the world of Adventure Time!

Since nobody pointed this out yet after 500+ comments: At the very end of my video, I placed Jake's face on the moon due to his dialogue from the season 1 episode "Tree Trunks," where after being asked what he'd do if he could do anything, Jake responds, "I'd carve my face on the moon so the moon would look like my face!"

[@ImEin]

Bronwyn was supposed to show how Finn was trying to cope with losing Jake. Finn never really had any interactions with Jake's kids, or his grandkids really. But in the episode "Wheels", Jake introduces Finn to Bronwyn as one of the coolest people he knows. Out of all Jake's kids/grandkids Bronwyn was probably the best replacement for Jake atm to help Finn get over the loss of Jake. Bronwyn probably hangs out with Finn for a similar reason, but they both seem to share the same love for adventure.

[@zashgekido5616]

Not Finn getting a second dog man XD

[@hello.9958]

Wait does Jake have a shorter lifespan than Finn?

[@ImEin]

@@hello.9958 In Dungeon Train, Finn looks into the future and see's that Jake is still with him as an old man because Finn refused to get off the train. So that implies Jake could live to be as old as Finn, if we're assuming that it's a natural lifespan and has nothing to do with any of the magical items Finn was collecting while on the train. There's also a short comic written by one of the writers and storyboard artist that depicts Jake getting old, dying, and the his body contiously expanded until it filled the huge hole that was left on Earth from the comet. But the creator of that comic said it was purely head canon, so it doesn't really count. Regardless, it's safe to assume Jake COULD live to be as old as Finn, but even if that was the case, in Obisidian, Finn is likely in his mid-to-late 20's or early 30's and Jake is already dead. Finn is 17 by the end of the original series. So Jake had to have died within that timespan and it probably wasn't from natural causes (My guess is that it was Ice Thing aka Gunter, that ended up killing him somehow because of the hallucination Finn had after he died where Jake was frozen in a block of ice. It woudl also explain why Gibbon, Jakes decendant, is seen fighting Ice Thing in the intro for Come Along With Me. You can also see that PB is imprisoned in the Ice Kingdom with Marceline looking for her, which just reinforces that Ice Thing is just as bad or worse than Ice King, probably Orgalorgs influence). And just as a side note, Finn admits to Jake that he was messed up for a long time after Jakes death in Together Again. I highly doubt Finn would be adventuring again anytime soon after Jake died and probably went through a depressive phase. Which is just to say that Jake had to have died shortly after the end of the original show. But that's just speculation at this point.

I definitely see Finn as kind of like an older relative mentor for Bronwyn. He's her Jake basically.

[@briang.2218]

Yeah I think that's the most likely situation. I wonder if Bronwyn will one day be the same to an older Sweet Pea, who will then stay as the hero for years upon years as the Billy-like figure in the Shermy and Beth intro. Shermy and Beth will then presumably go to him as their iconic hero, thus continuing the heroic lineage. From at least as far back as Billy to Finn n' Jake to Bronwyn n' Finn to Sweet Pea n' Bronwyn (?) to Shermy n' Beth.

Another theory. In one of the elements parts episode- Cloud. Finn and Jake were doing a therapy session in the clouds giving eachother “haircuts”.

[@tuberobsessor]

I just want to make a point with Marceline's "don't remember how to be angry" line you referenced. When you have that one special person in your life, in as soon as a year, maybe months, your life and viewpoint on life can change drastically. You may consciously, or subconsciously, begin to improve yourself and work on your issues because your partner gives you the support and motivation you need. So it may not even be that it's been so long that she literally forgot, but it may just be because over the short time it may have been, she's become a different, much more mature person as a result of PB. In the same vein, AT has done what many other animated series haven't done. For one, you have many pieces of media, where the characters FINALLY get together, but it's during the climax and you don't see anything about what their relationship is like afterwards. In others, the characters get together at one point, and then that's all it is. Their characters are the exact same to each other, save for the fact that they're labelled that they're "dating". PB and Marceline are showing how comfortable a relationship is, how different people can be once they have someone else by them, and the improvement of themselves not for themselves, but for each other.

Bronwyn looks and dresses like she's a late teen or an early twenty-something. Based on that I would think it's only been a few years, especially given how fast pups are supposed to age

[@michaelhenry3234]

@Jax Gladiator That could be true. She's only half pup, so maybe she ages a little slower than pure pups.

[@VoxTenebrae]

Also worth noting that Bronwyn is half-bear and only 1/4 rainicorn, 1/8 dog, and 1/8 shapeshifter (compared to the 1/2 rainicorn, 1/4 dog and 1/4 shapeshifter of the pups), so she might age differently. I have a feeling Bronwyn and the pups mature very fast (Kim Kil Whan was only a year old by the time Bronwyn was born, and I feel like her basically being a teenager by Wheels is slower than Kim Kil Whan's maturation), but once they mature they remain healthy adults for a long time. Jake's kids don't look any different once they become adults, all the way to the end (Come Along With Me).

I choose to believe that, on Finn's 18th birthday, he got the tattoo, asked for the flowers, didn't know their significance. The artist didn't say anything because Finn seemed to be repressing something, so just stayed quiet. Once he learned of the significance of the flowers, he turned it into a joke.

[@bludraws094]

I feel like if Bronwyn is Finn’s partner or apprentice, he would not be showering with her in the van with him. I mean… she is way younger than him. She probably got on the van around the time Simon got on. Finn could have been showering when Simon was like “Finn we need your help cmon”, and then Bronwyn was like “I wanna come too”

[@MostlyPonies1]

Yeah, no way Finn's 40 in that ending. Bronwyn still looks like a teenager. I would say not even 10 years have passed. More like 5.

I agree that he's not 40. But I wanted to note that Bronwyn is part rainicorn, and they age rapidly

finn is 18 at the end of the normal series, and jakes pups age 5-7x the normal rate. it makes sense for finn to be a lot older in obsidian

i estimated how old finn was based on how the show progressed his age in real time. finn was 12 when the series started in 2010, and as the series went on in the years finn grew in age as the series grew in age. is been about 2 years since come along with me, where he was 17 when it took place, so i have to guess, based on how much time has progressed in the real world vs the air date of obsidian, i have to assume that finn is in fact in his early 20s. 20-22 to be exact. maybe because im 20 now im biased since i basically grew up with finn when i watched the show!

[@felixgroove4016]

That`s cool! I also kinda aged with Finn cause I think the creators of the show said that Finn will be 18 in the last episode of the Distant Lands and if it will air in the second half of 2021 (it probably will) I will also be 18 by that time!

I'm not entirely sure jonathon frakes is actually real-world finn's adult voice. puhoy was based on an episode of star trek: the next generation (the inner light), so they probably chose him for that episode as a tribute, since he played riker in that show. wallace shawn, who played grand nagus zek in star trek: deep space 9 (and, more notably, vizzini in the princess bride) also played rasheeta and imaginary jake in that episode. so it's possible that was just an "oh this would be a cool connection" thing instead of a "this is what adult finn always sounds like" thing, but i could be wrong. (btw i was SO excited when that episode came out and i made that connection since adventure time and star trek are 2 of my favorite shows)

Althooough, in the episode “Dungeon Train” when Old Finn is seen in the future crystal, he was voiced by Jonathan Frakes again. It’s possible this was just for consistency’s sake bc the episodes were being produced around the same time.
