The Adventure Time timeline is crazier than you think

[@MrRighto]

32:50 the story behind the editing scene is actually pretty crazy. In one of the original farmworld episodes, there was an animation error where the crown was still on simon’s head after Finn had already taken it. Now in this episode Prismo edits the timeline and retcons an animation error and makes it canon.

His reaction to Abraham Lincoln just being introduced into this with no buildup is everything.

[@neoman4426]

One of the best moments in videos of reacting to the various incarnations of this timeline video, every single person I've seen has basically the same reaction of immediately pausing with a big "what" at the line "Abraham Lincoln, the King of Mars"

[@cah137-y4s]

So fun fact about Abraham Lincoln: in the original draft of the episode "Sons of Mars", when Lincoln gave up his immortality to restore Jake's life, the scene would have shown Lincoln being transported back to the moment of his death at Ford's Theater, with the scene cutting to black as the sound of a gunshot rang out. The gunshot sound is still present in the episode, but Cartoon Network understandably demanded they cut the shot of the theater itself.

27:32 The reason why the lich became a thing in the farm world dimension is because he is the direct result of the mushroom bomb, so wishing that the lich never existed meant the bomb never went off so if the bomb were to go off the lich would exist again. For clarity I am not typing this comment out of anger I just want to make sure anyone who reads this and doesn't understand how that worked now understands it better

[@-ZH]

Finn didn’t add “and will never exist”

[@orbboom6119]

So i guess the cathalyst comet wasn't considered as the lich Just the body is considered the lich, or i guess since finn didnt know about the lich's origins it didnt change the comet.

[@cookiesnugglez7318]

​@@orbboom6119yeah, just like the blue comet, the butterfly, and shoko also aren't considered finn, they're previous version of him but not finn himself

[@b.tresource5611]

Prismo explains that his wishes have unknown side effects if you’re not specific. As an example he states a wish to get a back rub and points out that you don’t know who gives you the backrub, how they give it to you, etc. So, when Finn wishes the Lich never existed, his wish only made his world’s Lich never exist. However, the antics of the Farm-world version of Finn result in a different Lich being born At least this is my theory

[@chaos4654]

Actually, only the intial trio are "was once smarter". Presumably, once Bubblegum knuckled down on creating Candy People, the Dum Dum formula was used as a fundamental part of the recipe rather then applied after making her citizens. They can't miss what they never had. Edit: Also The Candy People were in the middle of burying the radioactive waste when Shoko fell in.

[@MattTOB618]

32:50 Fun fact: Prismo doing this actually retcons an animation error from the first episode with Farmworld Finn. There is a scene in that episode where Simon's corpse is shown wearing the crown when he shouldn't be (as Farmworld Finn is currently going crazy with it on), and Prismo literally editing it into there (so it's destroyed by the nuke) gives us an in-universe explanation. Best use of a retcon I've seen in a cartoon (so far).

So regarding Golb, I saw a theory that says he's a baby. Like his physical appearance is big. But when it comes down to it, he's an infant. Plus his age matches that of multiverse. So the Multiverse of Adventure Time is in its infancy.

35:43 no, lich is actually still inside sweat pea, and is definitely getting control back when he dies

[@BriskSunrise]

The Adventure Time fandom really does have a thing for painting Princess Bubblegum worse than she actually is, and it's pretty tiring and ridiculous. Can she be controlling? Yes. Can she be manipulative? Yes. However this does not make her an irredeemable monster. Her actions are largely in an effort to try and keep things orderly and safe because she feels it is her job to do so. She got caught in this trap, and it led to how it is. If anything, she's simply flawed, like every other character in this series. She is not the absolute monster everybody decides she is because the fandom has absolutely no understanding or awareness of things beyond black and white. It's absolutely the same for the Steven Universe fandom regarding Rose Quartz and their obsession over viewing her as the worst while ignoring key things.

[@MunchKING]

27:25 He never existed, but NOW Finn does the thing that leads to the Lich King STARTING to exist at that point. 31:20 To be fair, they already violenced that guy OUT of power, and were set for a bloody (candy-gooey? Whatever) Reign of Anarchy and Terror, until she came back to instill order.

[@smileyhappyface5864]

You know what? I'm gonna say this in the comments of every video necessary. Although the timeline video made a mistake and said so, the Lich is not a primordial entity or even all that special. He is a humanoid with ram horns, likely due to mutation from the mushroom bomb, and is the incarnation of a catalyst comet just like Finn, with his immortality and skeletal form being due to some kind of magic keeping him alive-ish. We might get a full story on him someday, but the long and short of it is that he's just as much of a person as Finn, and he only knows about the primordial entities like Golb is because he did his research. He's a physical deformed scientist-sorcerer with mental health issues.

[@lepreking]

Her "family" were the only ones who were under control of the dumdum juice, and Gumbald brought it upon himself both times. Arguably, she could've made the candy people more capable of defending themselves, but she was trying to protect them by being controlling, not being authoritarian for power's sake. Obviously, she has done A LOT of wrong, like with the Rattleballs, spying on everyone, ruining the Fire Guardians, etc. But I think that's what makes her an interesting character. The show doesn't shy away from letting her be in the wrong, either. Many antagonists/bad people in AT tend to bring their downfall upon themselves (i.e. Gumbald, Evergreen, St. Patience Pim) because they don't change their views/ways. PB changing is what makes her different. Sorry for the essay lol, I like PB and just finished rewatching the show

The evil energy was there ever since the Green Catalyst Comet struck, but it didn't become the Lich until the Mushroom Bomb went off. When Finn wished for the Lich to have never existed, it stopped the bomb from creating the Lich in the past. But the Green Comet's energy is still there, waiting for the bomb to detonate again (which Farmworld Finn ends up causing). As Prismo stated, his wishes "always have an ironic twist to them", and you have to be really specific. Finn may have wished for the Lich to have "never, even ever existed", but that doesn't prevent the Lich from existing in the _future._
