It was also somewhat weird that jakes children( and all future offspring) all ended up with crazy superpowers, like I understand jake is stretchy and lady can has some minor powers, but for that to make every Pup in the future to have absurd powers didn’t really add up. But if you look at it through the lense of “they are all the offspring of a cosmic entity” it starts making a lot more sense

[@HeadCasey]

Yeah that's true, I didn't really cover it in this video because we never saw Jake attempt this, but since his Alien Dad and his future offspring both have portal making powers, this basically confirms that Jake has portal powers too and just never thought to try use them. He literally sees his Alien Dad stretch into a unique shape that unlocks a portal and Jake never questions it, he never asks "how did you do that? Can I do that? Let me try" or anything. The only time we see Jake attempt to be a portal, he was specifically being a pretend portal to distract Ice Finn. At no point did Jake ever believe or imagine that he can make portals, but he totally can 🤣

[@Nanamowa]

Yeah but we also don't really know the extent of the powers that Rainicorns have. We know they can change things colours at least and that they can open new dimensions, phase through matter and make matter temporarily incorporeal(when Lady fused various party members in her body to move them around in the murder party mystery episode) so it's not really surprising that his kids would have new powers that might exist as a sort of secret synergy between his own abilities and the abilities of ranicorns. Also to note is that, while he is a dog, he's an anthropomorphic extra-dimensional dog as his ancestors came from Lady's dimension. He's not native to Earth, he's half-alien, half-extradimensional alien dog. This means his children have 3 unique alien bloodlines and his grandchildren have even more.

[@HeadCasey]

@@Nanamowa pause for a second. Where exactly did you see that Jake's Dog bloodline came from Lady's Dimension? Because as far as I have seen... (Spoilers for an upcoming video) Rainicorns gained access to Ooo shortly after the Mushroom War and began eating Humans which triggered a war with Dogs. With Dogs being "Man's best friend" they fought the Rainicorn invasion right back into the Crystal Dimension from which they came. Upon winning the war, dogs claim ownershop over the crystal dimension and enforced Dog Law upon the remaining Rainicorns. Some family's like Lady's parents are cool with this because a dog saved their parents in the war or whatever, but Rainicorns like Lee never accepted Dog Law and want to war again to reclaim the Crystal Dimension for Rainicorns once more.

The fact that when Jake says "Enhance" it just infinitely loops zooming in on Jake is wild because it implies Jake is the center of this reality.

[@HeadCasey]

Bingo, that's one of two reasons I left that exact moment in, the other reason is that it also proves that Book-o and his interpretation of "the known multiverse" are running in real-time.... Which is truly insane when you remember that the Enchiridion (with Booko inside) was already an ancient artifact when Simon found it before the Mushroom War even began. So the book is at least several thousand years old and is implied to be scanning/watching the entire "known" multiverse that entire time

[@jersanjereos4525]

either that or you're just overthinking the enciridion is zooming onto jake because its projecting it on Jake's mind

[@HeadCasey]

Except it's not. Booko pulled up the live view of the Multiverse before Jake said "enhance" so the live feed we saw, already existed separate to Jake. If you don't like "finding the answers" and think it's just "overthinking" then you might be on the wrong channel 😅

[@snailtan4332]

I thought the enchiridion was zooming into itself, like it projected a projection of the universe and zoomed into that, which had its own projection of the multiverse etc

[@3bodYking99]

​@@snailtan4332yeah, but the last thing we see is jake before it loops, not the book, which is why it confuses and hurts jake's brain. It could be that it's because jake was the one to say enhance, that it zoomed into him, but also could mean that jake is the centre of the universe.

Slight variance in timeline. His parents didn’t adopt Finn in the middle of his criminal career. Finn and Jake were babies together. Dogs just grow up faster, so he went off and did crime while Finn was still a toddler. Then their parents died and Jake stepped up and took over raising Finn. Which always surprised me cause Germaine seemed a lot more responsible.

[@HeadCasey]

Sorry but I think you might need to double check that. "Dogs just grow up faster" Except that Jake was born with his powers in tact, he technically was never a baby, just baby sized and pretending to be a baby for a while. Now Jake says he did his crime spree "a long time ago, before we knew it was wrong" and we clearly see several episodes/examples of Joshua and Margaret raising Finn and Jake to be Nobel Hero's together. So he already knew right from wrong at that point and Jake was on the "path of good" long before his parents actually died. So it truly was Finns introduction into his life that was the key factor in Jake's lifestyle change.

[@HeadCasey]

I mean, Tiffany's Rant even starts with that. "I was friends with Jake... Then some baritone herb stole him away from me!" And then Finn says "I didn't steal him, we are brothers"

[@rosamy2017]

@@HeadCasey I don’t think your theory contradicts this comment though. Jake came out singing and dancing, but immediately flopped over limp. I don’t think he was fully functional at all, that was just his version of when newborn babies burp and sneeze right after birth. Also, Jake was surprised when his own pups grew up much faster than he did, in only a day. So I think it’s safe to say that Jake was a baby for at least longer than a day, but I’d figure it was more like a normal puppy timeline. Say, 6 months

[@HeadCasey]

@@rosamy2017 it really really does though. Let's say the other guy is right and it took Jake 6 months from Birth to start crime... Finn still wasn't in the picture at that point. They didn't adopt Finn the day after Jake was born. They adopted Finn some time later when they actually found him. This means that sure "Jake could have done his crime spree while Finn was still a toddler" but Finn arrived at Ooo as a toddler already. Jake's Crime Spree ended when Finn become his brother and they all played babies together (even though Jake didn't have to) for a few years learning Right and Wrong together from the parents before they died.

[@wonderbonni5563]

Jake ages in dog years. Firstly, in the First Investigation(S10E8), it was shown Finn, Jake and Jermaine (the forgotten brother) all as babies. Finn was a baby when he was found in Ooo, as said by Margaret when she found him. Secondly, the end scene of the BMO episode of distant lands confirms that BMO met Finn and Jake when Finn was a toddler and Jake was in his twenties. Jake was in his signature 20’s jacket that was seen in the flashbacks of Daddy-Daughter Card Wars (S8E11). Which confirms Jake ages in dog years. Because if Finn was a toddler when BMO came then in dog years Jake would be at least 22. Also that was about the time of his complete meltdown from the Card Wars game, which may have started his crime spree downfall. Its my favourite show, don’t at me 😄

[@wachyfanning]

To further specify his stretching powers, he is capable of: -Changing the shape of his body at will -Fusing and unfusing parts of his body - we see this in the way he makes a key with a hole in it using his hand. Hands do not have holes, however, meaning he's not just changing its shape, but its topography. -Spontaneously creating and uncreating matter - Jake's weight seems to be in proportion to his size. This means he's not necessarily 'stretching' at all, which implies the same mass being spread across a greater area; rather, he is gaining mass. Moreover when he gets poisoned and expands his liver, his liver is not just the size of 51 dog livers, but also has the functionality, indicating that he has not just stretched his liver out but increased its mass. The ability to spontaneously create and destroy matter is so powerful that it literally breaks the laws of physics.

[@dittocopys]

It used to annoy me how his powers worked until the writers made it clear that it was intentional. One of Jake's daughters has the ability to grow but without increasing mass. There was a scene where she got huge and walked across the earth and became transparent.

[@RaylonRT]

It's easy to see that he gain mass when he gets stronger, not just bugger, but more powerful This means he can transform and create muscles. He said once that his bones are like rubber, but I think he just have control of his bones and can make them stretch of any shapes, wich means that he could do like bone weapons like Kimimaro from Naruto, but even better, because he can literally shape his bones like a 1 to 1 form of spear or axe

[@wachyfanning]

@@RaylonRT He can also remove his bones individually from his body which I think is fucked up

[@RaylonRT]

@@wachyfanning Jake had an amazing immortality capacity, he had such an amazing control of his body. Remember that Marceline episode that he moved all his guts to his thumb? That shows great survivability when needed, giving that he can create mass and also move his guts to said mass

No one seems to point out how small he can get thats not stretching its more like ant man or somthing

[@designerwookiee]

It always struck me as a bit odd that Jake was friends with Prismo and other cosmic entities / gods to the point that he could just hang out in The Time Room. Like, I could see him being invited over once in while via Dreams and catching a ride from the Dream Owl, but Prismo goes out of his way to transport Jake's full corporeal form to The Time Room on the regular? Wild. "Yea, here's cosmic Wishmaster Prismo, The Cosmic Owl of prophetic dreams, Martian God: Grob Gob Glob Grod, The Party God, etc. Oh, and here's Jake the Dog. No, he's a mortal, but he can do cool stretchy stuff. show 'em Jake!" Jake actually being some lowkey cosmic entity flying under the radar is just... _mind blown_ Upon further thought, I wonder if Jake is loosely based on Azathoth, at least in concept. Basic shared descriptors being, "...he is always changing." and "Possesses the powers of Reality Dreaming"

[@HeadCasey]

Exactly, for me the main clue was when Prizmo straight up refuses Jake's wish. Like he casually allows the Lich to wish away all life in all realities, he casually allows Finn to wish up a reality that eventually breaks the Multiverse, but he won't allow Jake to wish for a sandwich? Prizmo goes out of his way to basically force Jake to use his "one wish" in a way that guarantees that Jake (and by extension Finn) return home safely. Why? Why was Prizmo so invested in Jake right from the beginning? That moment is what started me on the Prizmo mystery originally 😅

I always thought that Prismo was jake because of the time loop thing. But this adds so much more to it. It explains why Jake gets along with prismo AND party god so well

[@HeadCasey]

It's true, I always found Prizmos interactions with Jake super suspicious. Like when Prizmo refuses to grant Jake's wish for "a sandwich" and instead Prizmo explains the power of wishes to Jake, then literally helps Jake word the "correct wish" to help Finn and set everything right. Like, what was Prizmos motivation to basically rewrite Jake's wish to save Finn, Jake and Ooo? Like he casually lets the Lich wish away all life in all realities, then he casually lets Finn wish up a reality that eventually breaks the multiverse. But he won't let Jake waste his wish on a sandwich??? Super Sus Because he seemed REALLY motivated to get Jake home safely 😅

[@bruv7569]

@@HeadCaseyI always just thought Prismo was gay and liked Jake, so he didn’t want his reality to cease existence. Prismo even says “Dude, I like you, so ..” and then he goes on to explain why wishing for a sandwich was stupid.

Well, yeah 😅 Pretty much. I don't know if anyone else noticed this (and I didn't have time to montage it into the video) but outside of wishing to save Finn that time, Jake ALWAYS wishes for a sandwich. His "the limit" wish was used on Sandwich. His Thought-canon wish was for a Sandwich. And he even attempts to use his Prismo wish for a sandwich too 🤦‍♀️

It never sat right with me that Finn had a "favorite" brother. They almost never interacted with Jermaine. Jermaine had to grow up as the "normal" sibling. He didn't have super strength like Finn, he didn't have stretchy powers like Jake. He was doomed to a life of mediocrity; the brother who would forever be left out. To live a life of solitude, never being invited to go on adventures because he was "normal". It's sad how Finn and Jake could treat their own brother, never showing him the love that they felt for each other.

[@HeadCasey]

Yeah, it's really brutal to think about. I kinda skipped over that part in my video because there is an entire episode about Finn and Jake finally seeing Jermaines perspective and that is one of my all time favourites. ~our friendship, it matters, booboo susa~

[@bordensmusic]

Imagination is just a general form of magic in adventure time. Finn does it too but it's harder for him. The trick is you really have to believe what you think is real for it to work.

[@HeadCasey]

I don't know if Finn ever did it solo. He always did it around Jake, and if Finn is imagining something loudly then Jake can hear that and simply imagine it too. Like the Ancient Psychic Tandem War Elephant. They literally share an imagination bubble as they both picture the elephant at the same time

[@suenoslucidos3899]

I think it’s more realizing nothing is real and you can create things from your imagination by have a connection to magic, aka a connection to the “boss” primso was talking about, the ones who let you create things and if they don’t see fit imprison you in a cosmic prison. It’s a fine line, if you’re not contributing to the story, you will be imprisoned, like how fins dad was imprisoned until he was of use in the timeline.

[@HeadCasey]

@@suenoslucidos3899 that's a huge stretch. We don't know why Finns Dad was jailed other than commiting a cosmic crime. Also there are countless characters who imagine stuff that simply never happens or is confirmed false in-episode. So there is little to no evidence that anyone can just imagine whatever they want. And even less evidence that imagining things is a cosmic crime. Perhaps rewatch the show to reconfirm the established lore again :)

[@bordensmusic]

There was an episode where Finn had to rely on his imagination to save Jake. Jake's not the only one, it just comes natural to him because he doesn't separate reality from what's in his mind

[@HeadCasey]

@@bordensmusic It's the same episode. The episode where Jake's imagination goes haywire is the same episode Finn uses his imagination to fix/save Jake. However as I already stated above, Finn was actually only able to do any of that because Jake specifically believed he could. It was Jake's power influencing Finn in that moment and all similar moments. I defy you to provide a single example from the show of anytime anyone else solo imagines something into existence without Jake being aware.

[@zardthedragon1896]

i think for the "who would win" bit i do honestly think they are equally matched. although jake does have brute strength and a clear advantage, he's very brash and arrogant, while Finn is a bit more methodical in his maneuvers and makes the best of every situation. it's very much power against technique and why they make such a good duo.

Jake believed it would work, and it did. The fact that BMO is the size and strength of a Gameboy made no difference. The episode Preboot starts with Jake talking about how he hasn't been cursed in a while and hopes to get a good curse put on him again soon so he can enjoy the challenge of overcoming it. He has states several times in the show that he believes the problems in life are what make the adventure worth living, so he wouldn't magic away the problems even if he knew he could

[@fungushoney9958]

I have to poke one hole in the theory; in the episode Root Beer Guy, a plane flies overhead the candy Kingdom. This might be the only time in the series we see an operating plane but they are still in use by somebody.

[@HeadCasey]

Yeahs someone already called me out on that one, so I gave them full credit for debunking me on that

[@justonyx6721]

In all fairness tho, it’s possible jake needs at least a basic understanding of the thing rather than just seeing it. At first glance you can tell a car moves because the tires roll. It’s easy then to just make tires that roll and move forward. A plane words differently, it has to stay in the air unlike cars and boats which are held up by the ground and water respectively. We see jake is clearly capable of getting the propeller to spin but it’s much harder to understand the concept of lift, which checks out given that Jake mistakenly tries flapping the wings showing he doesn’t understand it.

[@fungushoney9958]

@@HeadCasey sorry i missed that. yeah i guess he just cannot conceptualize how planes fly with the physics of lift and air pressure etc. but sometimes panics and becomes a plane anyway

[@merbst]

​@@fungushoney9958Imagination does not require an accurate thorough conceptualization of all necessary mechanisms. But having borne witness to the mushroom war in at least one alternate universe is likely to have been traumatic enough to inflict complex PTSD, which can have devastating effects on the imagination of things that are associated with the trauma. I hope no one will ever have to experience any wars ever again, and so I aspire to be a peace activist. Jake has too much trauma associated with airplanes.

[@_wanted_outlaw3007]

​​​@@HeadCaseyI was originally replying to just oryx and adding onto his theory but i would like to know your opinion) flapping is not how a plane works, jake flapping like a bird clearly shows he doesn't know how planes work so he can't fly as a plane. Maybe that's the catch to his power if he doesn't know how something works he can't fully imagine it maybe that's what holds him back. Meaning if he knew how his powers worked he could reach his full potential. When Jake does fly he flies in a very similar pattern to lady Rainicorn and if she explained to Jake how flying works for rainicorns then Jake could have effortlessly imagined it working for him by imagining that he's channeling the power of rainicorns to make him fly. He has no clue about the physics that makes a plane fly so therefore he cannot imagine it and it cannot be.

[@UnorthodoxIndividual]

As someone who's read the comics, I remember there being a bunch of fighting moves Finn and Jake experimented with or wanted to experiment with. One of them is "Planet Jake" where Jake stretches very thin over the whole planet and punches the bad guy from space or something. I don't think they actually did this at any point but Finn and Jake certainly considered it lmao, they don't even know the extent of Jake's powers.

The universe zooming into Jake infinitely at 22:34 could also be an indicator that he is responsible for reality as it is. Hes the source of creation in it so itd make sense for it to constantly source back to him? Maybe!

[@HeadCasey]

Well I did leave that scene in on purpose because it's suspicious in many ways, not just that it zooms in on Jake.... But that it's imagery is in real time, we see Jake freaking out inside the projection so it's a "live feed" of the universe at that moment... Which suddenly becomes extra suspicious when we remember that the Enchiridion is probably the oldest relic in the show... It's been able to watch the entire Multiverse in real time for the entire time that it existed...

[@Glassbox613]

Well.. not really. I don't know if you know the context behind the video but its the enchiridion zooming into the universe, and since jake is the one who asked the enchiridion to zoom in it makes some sense that it zooms into the person who asked.

[@kaprekar2495]

I'm also reminded of Jake's inclusion in the prophecy on Mars, as told by GGGG and the King of Mars.

[@RaylonRT]

Jake creates mass out of nowhere, not only he can get bigger, but he can transform and create muscles. He said once that his bones are like rubber, but I think he just have control of his bones and can make them stretch in any shape, wich means that he could do bone weapons like Kimimaro from Naruto, but also even better. He can literally shape his bones like a 1 to 1 form of a spear or an axe of any size he wants to

[@HeadCasey]

It's true, Jake could be the ultimate weapon if he wanted to be... So maybe it's a good thing that he would rather make a sandwich than do all that 🤣

[@cobaltprime9467]

It’s weird how the show runners made sure to show Jake’s powers were only stretching and he couldn’t split up his body and reattach it to do it. Or something like merge is hand into his body while stretching. But there are several times they forgot he couldn’t do that. Like when he ran through that gate. He clearly separated and recombined on the other side.

[@kratosdad1760]

Im pretty sure what happened is he ran into the gate and his body was pushed backwards while he reformed his body forwards so he didnt actually separate, all of the parts of his body that touched the gate were moved backwards

[@milkshakemp3]

You mentioned his death at the beginning of the video, but if you think about it, his death at the end of the series, literally ends the series, as in the reality (the show) ceases to exist when Jake no longer exists. It all comes full circle.

[@pathead9944]

Except the series ends 1000 years in the future with shermy (possible reincarnated fin) and beth (a descendent/ possible reincarnation of Jake). Meaning that things kept going on in that reality And distant lands shows a grown up fin with a Jake tattoo on his chest implying Jake has passed away

[@HeadCasey]

@@pathead9944 you are forgetting that a version of Jake is currently sleeping forever as Prismo himself. So the timeloop holds up regardless of the other Jake (our Jake who died)

well.. no, things still move on even without jake.. you can see that the candy kingdom flourished into a metropolis or a city, all while jake was evidently dead. this happened probably ages before sheremy & beth popped up too.

[@HeadCasey]

@@Glassbox613 did you ignore the message directly above yours? Jake isn't dead, a single version of Jake is dead, but the important Jake is still totally alive sleeping forever within Prismos Time Room. Once Prismo finished the timeloop, it was problem solved forever

[@birdlegscass]

one of the few moments in this series that I've never been able to buy is Finn surviving having his head dipped in lava in "Jake Suit." it would make sense that he survived because of Jake's powerful desire not to actually kill Finn. in "The New Frontier" we see that Finn is one of the only things more important to Jake than his incredible amount of respect for the natural order of things. he's fully prepared to let himself drown and fulfill his croak dream until Finn tries to drown with him. it makes sense that, if he were to ever use his power to shape reality, consciously or unconsciously, it would be to save Finn. or maybe I'm thinking about it too hard, lol

[@birdlegscass]

also, the idea that Jake's will shapes reality is incredibly interesting and funny to me. it feels very adventure time. because Jake has an immense respect for the natural order of things (when he has a croak dream he gets all excited about the idea of dying the way he's supposed to), immediately accepts pretty much any hand dealt to him, good or bad (he often ends up in a bad situation and immediately starts getting comfortable, just trying to accept his new reality) has explicitly stated he likes having problems because it makes life more interesting, sometimes intentionally avoiding using stretching to solve his problems, and when Prismo gave him the opportunity to wish for anything, he chose a sandwich. you'd be hard pressed to come up with a character who would be *less* likely to actually use infinite power, so he's the perfect character to give it to

[@birdlegscass]

I think it also creates an interesting parallel with warren ampersand, who basically creates a whole civilization around Jake to manipulate him. Jake could do that and so much more, but doesn't

One thing, Finn also "dreams up" the pillow world during another knife storm. That leads me to believe the knife storm is a kind of imagination solidifying phenomenon, I'd even say it's magic and caused a bridge between dimensions

[@HeadCasey]

Finn didn't dream up Pillow World. Pillowworld existed before Finn portaled there on that day. Also Golb appeared at the end to eat Pillow World. Finns Memory of Pillow World fades when he returns because he left just moments before that entire reality was consumed by Golb removing it from all existance as if it never even happened. Not to mention that the roaming portal in and out of Pillow World is explained perfectly when Booko explained that some universe become linked by naturally occuring portals at random times, while other portals are forced open by items of great power. The portal to Pillow World is just a randomly occurring one that only happens every so often.

[@liamace1107]

@@HeadCasey I used "dreams up" in quotes because it isn't actually dreamed up by him, but you can't ignore the fact that he is entering a pillow fort during the knife storm. This imagination enhancing phenomenon could very well have acted as a magic catalyst to create a portal between Finn's pillow fort and the pillow world itself. Surely you can see my reasoning here. My point is that the Knife Storm is shown as a magical imagination solidifying phenomenon any time it's encountered.

[@HeadCasey]

No I do not agree with that. We only saw the Knife Storm twice, but we saw things that could be argued as "reality getting loose" countless times in the show. So how come there are plenty of times that things got weird without a knife storm being present? The fact that both times we saw knife storms happened to be during weird events can easily just be coincidence. There is zero proof that the knife storms are connected to the events in any way.

[@woomod2445]

In this case I would argue primo/jake's boss is actually finn(i could say "or something comparable" but as you noted finn has a huge impact on jake.). Finn is textually an enlightened being outside the system who just prefers living within it. So if prismo is creating the universe with his imagination, what could be his superior be than something outside and above the entire system? How else could it be their problem? Wouldn't they vanish? But no it's THEIR problem. Jake has to redream everything back up, finn would have to wake up fully while there is no dream to live in.

[@HeadCasey]

That's a fair argument, although it's easy for me to say that Prismo puts some of the blame onto Finn for wishing Farm World exists in the first place 🤷‍♀️ But how any of that situation is Jake's fault is beyond me... but Prismo puts it on them both 🤔

Thank you for this awesome video ! It was so good so good. i heard the knives falling from the sky is a weather phenomenon that alters reality, like in the Puhoy episode. The weather encourages feelings and imaginations to become real! I think. Like when Finn was feeling weird bout Flame Princess and the whole Pillow World family situation became real! I think Jake dreaming up Prismo is more based on Prismo’s and Jake’s awesome bro bond than Jake being a reality shifter. He’s definitely a good dreamer though. Sentient sand which picks up Jake by the nostrils! He isn’t flying by himself. But i feel like the difference doesn’t really matter. He is flying. Idk I’ve heard it argued either way. Jake is awesome. I wonder what’s up with Magic Man and his injection at the beginning of Everything is Jake. I love your theory with Prismo and Jake holding things together so much! It’s so fun thinking of Jake chilling and partying and stuff as the most powerful being.

[@HeadCasey]

That's a brilliant comment. Yes I admit the Knife Storms are super suspicious, only seen a few times in the show and they always seem to happen during weird events 🤔 Although I don't know if the knife storms and the weird events are directly related or just, the days that Jake gets stuck inside he lets his imagination wander more than usual resulting in the weird events. As for Pahoy, I never considered that the world was imagined into existence during the episode. I always focused on the ending too much, watching Golb show up at the end to assumably eat the Pillow World always had me thinking "pillow world was real" but just because it was real in the end doesn't mean it wasn't imagined into existence in the beginning 😯 Well. I have a lot to think about now 😅

[@commodore7331]

i like how the everythings jake episode is full of futurama voice actors

[@HeadCasey]

[@piratejackishere]

The part that I would say your missing is about GOLB. As even Prismo's Time Room does not affect GOLB whatsoever (this is seen with Magic Man wishing Margles back and Simon wishing Betty back they only get a trashcan with a basketball hoop on it and a paper going through said hoop into trashcan). Only when you are inside of GOLB would a wish even be slightly possible. But there are certain limits to that. For even wishes can't wish them away, and this is seen when Betty is inside of GOLB. The wish allows her to become one with GOLB to protect Simon, but any wish to wish GOLB to not exist does not work at all. If we do follow the theory you present then that might mean GOLB is Jake's opposite. For it seems that Jake would create; while at the same time GOLB would be the destroyer. This then would lead to Jake not being omnipotent in the Adventure Time multiverse, as some how they would need to combine into one entity for Jake/GOLB to become omnipotent. But this is a theory just like the theories you are presenting.

We can feel things so deeply that it feels like it's as real when it isn't. But people can react to us as though its real too, because in our minds it is.

It would be so crazy if Jake actually changes the dimensions/multiverse/reality he's in. Like how the pilot of adventure time was pen and Jake it suddenly changed into finn and Jake. It's like the teen titans episode with the 5D character with dick Grayson spelled backwards or superman's best 5D friend. Jake changes the narrative and if he lets imagination run too wild he changes everything including the appearance of the cartoon he resides in. That's why when Darren and the war elephant fought he said that everything was different, because Jake probably messed with the narrative, and the appearance of the reality, and that's why things seem to be dumbed down a bit. It went from beings like the lich, Darren, the war elephant, prison kept with ancient unexplained beings, golb, glob, Abraham Lincoln, to the cAnDy kInDoM, with dumbed down characters. Ever think about why finn went from a kid who was able to throw a giant over his shoulder to a guy who can't even compete with vampires even though he's an abstract like Jake? Because of Jake. Adventure time is a story about two abstracts in a playground called the multiverse.

[@wesleybutler1868]

Amazing video. While I'll have to give more thought to the "Jake is a cosmic being/Prismo's boss" thing, I definitely agree with Jake's powers being reliant on his imagination and willpower. Also, somewhat unrelated, if you want to get into the nitty gritty mathematics, Jake doesn't technically "stretch" or at least he doesn't exclusively. Pulled from the internet: "Topology is the mathematical study of the properties that are preserved through deformations, twistings, and stretchings of objects. Tearing, however, is not allowed." Jake, however, tears when he creates new holes (such as the clip you showed where he transforms from a solid magnifying glass into just the rim and handle of the magnifying glass. Same as when he becomes a donut.) He changes his inherent topology, something that you cannot achieve through stretching alone. So either he functions as some sort of liquid that can tear and join back with itself, or his true form exists in a higher dimension or something.

[@HeadCasey]

Brilliant comment. For the record while I claim "Jake is Prismos boss" I didn't know if I was clear enough that Jake doesn't know that he is the boss. Jake just thinks he is Jake, it's part of the whole "Jake doesn't understand his own powers" bit. And your right, he either acts as a liquid (as shown at the start of the video in "life and times" when I show him squish himself fluidly through a gate reforming on the other side without issue) or he acts as a Glob of some sort (as shown near the end of the video)

[@HeadCasey]

Thank you, I've been putting the extra effort in on the cartoon videos so I am glad people are enjoying them so much 😁

[@ventchannel2638]

as much as i find this theory very interesting, there are some holes. First off, Jake can only color shift between yellow and blue, and that's because hes part yellow dog and part blue alien, not because he imagines it. Second, the episode with Jake imagining things and them becoming real is more of an abstract episode, and it isn't only him who can do it, but Finn too. The whole point of the episode is to encourage kids to be creative and have fun, especially since its part of the earlier, less meaningful episodes. it makes sense that he has to imagine the things that he builds using his own stretch bod, but not things outside of his powers. Though, I gotta say this was very well thought out and honestly quite scary to think about if it was indeed true.

[@HeadCasey]

You clearly missed the two examples shown in the video where he also colour shifted red. So add red into your "only yellow and blue" restrictions that you made up. Finn didn't actually have any powers over imagination, he said out loud everything he was trying to imagine, so Jake was able to believe in Finn's imagination and thus the things Finn wanted to imagine real became real because Jake believed they would. There are many examples in the show of people telling Jake what they believe will happen next, and then it does. You will be hard pressed to find any examples of anyone imagining anything into existence without Jake specifically being around. Also the early episodes are still canon, people who try tell you they aren't are wrong.

[@Guakkey]

I think the only major problem with this theory is that most of the evidence is shown during season 1-3, when the show definitely did not have most of its story figured out. And at the point the show made much less sense and it didnt stick to predetermined rules of that universe. Still a fun video tho! Keep them theories coming!!

[@HeadCasey]

Seasons 1-3 are still canon though, they happened and get plenty of references in the later stages of the show so to ignore them entirely seems... shortsighted

[@blehh_mae]

i still think its kinda weird how in the series, jake canonically meditates to ignore desire or whatever it was to pass the time, he frequently sees jermaine in his dreams, or even nightmares (and even saw him and his dead parents in that one episode while hes awake) and he can even shape other peoples dreams like in the gum war nightmare part where he searches through finns mind to find the vault, and he went to the 50th deadworld which is straightup nirvana, and practically none of that is ever really explained or touched on

I think the Show Adventure Time is Jake going on an Adventure with/for Finn's amusement. Imagine Jake Telling Finn it's "Adventure Time"... And His entire imagination is the show for Finn to be a Hero... Even at the end of the into you see Jake firmly holding onto Finn as if he's his safety harness in a Hyper Advanced AR/VR Gaming Machine.(Jake)

[@HeadCasey]

That's fair. I can see that

[@KrisRN23935]

That would explain a lot. Like why would Abraham Lincoln give his life for Jake if he was just some mortal? And why Ooo basically went bonkers after his death, with Finn included? Maybe Jake created Pillow World just so Finn could get over a problem and have the life he always wanted for him? Remember what he said in Flute Spell: "I just want you to have a healthy relationship with someone cool," that exactly what Finn had with Rosalinen. She's the only one Finn ever gave Jake up for. Which is what he always wanted for him eventually. Maybe that's why it got destroyed by Golb after Finn "died". It served it's purpose and it got purged. It could even be why Finn and Jake are together in every reincarnation. Finn's purpose as the Catalyst Comet is by being a source of good in Jake's life and affecting his thoughts for the better, preventing Jake from being a force of destruction. That's why Finn's life is so wayward without him.

[@HeadCasey]

OMG you just blew my mind 😯 Jake did specifically want Finn to recover at the start of that episode "Finn, there's no good kind of festering!" and when Finn went into the Pillow Fort then Jake from the outside could only imagine Finn recovering in there surrounded by pillows... He could easily imagine the pillows make up an entire world to comfort Finn. I think you are right, I am now completely sold on the idea that Jake (probably subconsciously) created Pillow World specifically for Finns breakup recovery

And it certainly doesn't explain why Prismo casually allowed Lich to wish away all life in all realities, then casually allowed Finn to wish up a new reality that literally breaks the Multiverse, yet Prismo puts his foot down hard on letting Jake wish for a sandwich. Prismo goes out of his way to force Jake to make the exact wish required to cause the Jake-Prismo time loop in the first place.

Now that i think about it, jake really disregard his life quite easily which makes me believe he is like this simply because of his father (the alien one) probably made it so he instinctively wouldnt have a problem with dying if he were drained of his life force.

[@HeadCasey]

Interesting thought, but it doesn't quite hold up due to the rest of Jake's philosophy. See there are several times when Jake explains that he refuses to stretch out of every problem, because having problems and finding the way to overcome them is part of what makes life worth living. One time he wouldn't even stretch to get a cornchip out of his teeth when it was annoying him endlessly. If Jake's motives are preset by Alien Dad, then his goal should be to stretch all the time, as much as possible (as that's the type of kid that would benefit the Dad the most) but by that logic Jake is one of his laziest kids.

[@Spoon80085]

Jake could also have wished up the after life for Finn and him to go to. As the series goes on, his beliefs on death are inconsistent and random, but if he believed one at the end of his life, he could have created it for him to go to.

Exactly 😎 I'm glad you noticed that. I left that scene in the video on purpose to see if many people would notice how suspicious it was

[@hellgates_javed6451]

It's zooming in on the book, bruh

[@migs192]

If before time, before there was anything, there were monsters... and Jake is just keeping himself from being a monster... then maybe Jake was a Monster before he became Jake.

[@oriananoriega3713]

Absolutely love all of this thank you for your time and research

[@HeadCasey]

You are most welcome. Stay tuned because there will be a fair few more cartoon videos release here before this year ends

[@Random-em7oz]

Well if you think about it he just matches finn in the way of being cosmic entities finn seems to have incredible control with his mind as well I’ll go and look back

[@HeadCasey]

Well then I guess that's the reason why they are soul bonded in an endless cycle of reincarnation and adventure

[@alize0623]

The 50th deadworld isn’t heaven. That would be where Jake’s parents and Jerome went. 50th dead world is Nirvana.

[@HeadCasey]

I know, I was mostly trying to stay vague about the deadworlds as not to spoil the ending for anyone, I just wanted to address that concept of "all good dogs go to heaven" to keep the mood light. Focusing too heavily on Jake's death could have become a downer moment in the video, so my goal was just to quickly skip over it

[@thegermanpotato5405]

I think Jake not turning into a plane could be more of a energy thing, since it takes a lot of energy for Jake to keep himself in the air rather than just rolling around in a car or sailing in a boat, but that’s just a personal guess

[@DarkAssassin-nt5zq]

man absolute banger theory you've hit it out the park with this one. good job man

[@HeadCasey]

Thank you :)

[@zayvinluna6295]

Keep the videos up man I’m really enjoying them

[@HeadCasey]

Will do 😎

This almost invokes an "ontogeny recapitulates phylogeny"-type dynamic. I think this is an amazing theory that could definitely be developed further. For instance, consider: 1) The "boss's phone" that Orbo speaks through is "Jake-coloured" (as is the wire attached to it). It also has a "good side" and a "bad side" (just like Jake & the Finn-Tiffany dyad). 2) The primordial soup that all the monsters came out of is the same colour as Jake. Interesting that Jake has an aversion to becoming a "monster" while in the primordial state of existence there are only "monsters". Moreover, Orgalorg's philosophy has some odd parallels with Jakes. 3) Prismo's room is also the same colour as Jake (And, as an aside, this makes me think that the thing we know as "Prismo" is just the shadow cast by the Prism shaped room in space). 4) If Jake is a "shape-shifter", this seems to correspond with all the different "shapes" we see making up the different multiverses as well as all the different shapes around Golb. 5) The 50th Dead World is also "Jake coloured". 6) The Cosmic Owl is "Jake-coloured". 7) The shapes around Golb in outer-space are also "Jake-coloured". 8) Could the creation of the Lich in Farmworld have been the actual creation of the Lich himself? Consider that this would explain why there is a Lich in every dimension to begin with (not to mention that, between Dimensions, the flow of time likely isn't the same). 9) When Party-God calls Jake a "Party Dog"--Could this be an anagram? 10) This is a "stretch", but the colour of the crowns and the colour of Lump Space Princess' crystal are also yellow/gold. 11) By this theory, a lot of the theories Jake has about death itself could have actually shaped the afterlife itself (interesting to think Jake's death-dream is also nearly recreated after he has it in this respect). 12) Could the arbitrary nature of the elements that make up reality (Candy, Slime, Ice, Fire) also be a byproduct of Jake's imagination? Is "Dog" the fifth and final element? 13) Could the comets each correspond with forms Jake has taken on? Blue Comet for Warren Ampersand and Jake's "true form" (Jake also takes on the form of an Ice being during the elementals arc). Green comet for the Lich (who Farmworld Jake becomes). Purple for the Lumpy Space form he takes on. And Yellow for Jakes "authentic self".

[@HeadCasey]

Amazing stack of clues and evidence there... Since you mentioned Fionna and Cake, you missed a clue there... "Jake was the one who convinced us that Fionna and Cake was good" was a quote near the start of the show. Followed by that entire Multiverse plotline ending with "The Boss suddenly decided to make you canon for no apparent reason" 😂 If Jake is the boss then that makes perfect sense

[@Acewalled]

@@HeadCasey Thanks! Although I owe it to you for putting the initial hypothesis out there! And lmao! That's also a hilarious and meta reference! God damn!

[@HeadCasey]

Thank you for the kind words! I'm glad to hear them, it seems this video really inspired more people than I expected it to... And that makes me endlessly happy

[@mackenziebeeney3764]

The entire time loop of doubling both Jake and Finn, Jake becoming old man Prismo, Finn becoming Finn Sword, then later Fern after the magic effects of a morally ambiguous grass spirit, just implies to me that there is a parallel universe that prismo either created or deprived of Finn and Jake just to complete that time loop. And prismo just causally fixing the reality threatening stuff most of the time is awesome. And I think the only times he doesn’t is when Jake is involved and can’t imagine they actually win when he hears about them, like the Liche getting it the time room, and the liche killing prismo.

[@HeadCasey]

Pretty sure the Lich getting into the time room and killing old man Prismo was both the start and the end of the complete loop. I also am led to believe that he didn't sacrifice alternative universe versions of Finn and Jake, he literally made a time travel copy of each of them, like he made a copy of them by allowing them to enter his time-room twice at the same time. Ok I'm not explaining it well, but if I grabbed you from right now into the time room, then I grabbed you from 5 minutes ago into the time room, now I have two of you even though they are both just you from a few minutes apart. The catch with this is, I can only put one of you back into the timeline. One of you is now a time paradox that won't fit back into the timeline, so, that's the one that becomes a cosmic sacrifice and a key piece of the loop that causes Prismo to exist in the first place 🤣

[@space_planet]

the princess fin and princess prismo parts are fantastic and makes sense show wise and i like to think of this show like that but you deserve more subscribers

[@HeadCasey]

I'm glad, I was worried that was the one part of the video that the audience might find questionable 🤣

[@Giggles_iJest]

This just proves the whole "this is all a DnD session between a dad and his son" thing 😂

[@HeadCasey]

It might, it just might 😅

[@luwawaa2741]

This take is so insightful,never finished the series but it’s always been Top tier.This takes makes me appreciate the show even more.

[@HeadCasey]

Thank you, bringing some extra enjoyment to the show is what I was aiming for so I am very glad to hear that it worked 😁

[@garythepenguin4411]

This video is amazing and makes so much sense! Jake is now my new favorite character!! Love your videos I will start watching all of them

[@HeadCasey]

Thank you, I hope you enjoy the other videos too

[@changowowowoezzy9617]

His shrinking and digestive powers are crazy

[@HeadCasey]

Most of his powers are crazy, he is a very crazy character to keep an eye on

[@itsv1p3r]

Crazy how you somehow synced a lot of the animated speech patterns to your narration. You deserve the algo boost, great video

[@HeadCasey]

Hehehehe yeah, I like to feel like the show is talking back at me 😂

[@itsv1p3r]

@@HeadCasey & i know it has to be incredibly time consuming to make these and collect the clips, but if you could make more adventure time related content that’d be really awesome. I just watched your other ones and im itching for more.

[@HeadCasey]

@@itsv1p3r hahah well I'm glad my efforts are noticed and I have both the intro and the "part 1" edited for the next video... So I just need to knock out parts 2 and 3 for the video to be complete. Could be another week or two, might want to watch my "Multiverse Explained" video if you get theory cravings before then, since an Adventure Time scene is snuck in there 😜

[@itsv1p3r]

@@HeadCasey cool! & ill definitely check it out, ive only ever watched adventure time casually but rick and morty is awesome too, they’re probably my favorite cartoons aside from regular show.

[@HeadCasey]

@@itsv1p3r oh my Multiverse video covers a lot more than just those two shows 🤣 I cover everything from The Simpsons to Scooby Doo 🤷‍♀️ if it had any relevance in a multiverse setting then I probably mentioned it 😂

[@therealbabadui]

Great video, thanks so much! . One thing I did notice in reference to the beginning scene though was this: In the episode "Another Five More Short Graybles", ice king provides movies for the penguins to vote between for movie night, and one of them has a picture of a plane on the title, as well as "airplanes" or something similar in the name! So some do have a concept of planes!

[@HeadCasey]

That is a good point! Well played. Too bad Jake thinks most of the Ice Kings tapes are creepy and full of nonsense. I have a feeling Jake didn't see most of the Ice Kings tapes. After Holly Jolly Secrets I think both Finn and Jake decided to leave the Ice Kings old tapes alone 😅

[@mariahcelinerios]

This video was amazing as are all of them. Great work!!! Thank you ❤ makes me miss this show so much

[@HeadCasey]

You are most welcome, I hope you consider subscribing as the next video will be out sometime soon :)

[@Ddorkly]

So Jake's power is not super elasticity but making his imagination come true .

[@HeadCasey]

Pretty much. Like he imagines he is stretchy and as a result, he is.

[@Ddorkly]

@@HeadCasey maybe there is one instance on his life that he is trying to reach something high and his imagination kicks in and he thought his has a super elasticity power... Maybe the director is trying to confuse us at first by showing that Jake's power is elasticity

[@skepg3729]

Usually I don’t like theory videos but this one is a banger!

I'm glad you enjoyed it 😁
