THE LICH: ALL SCENES || Adventure Time + Fionna & Cake Spoilers [By

most of these were taken from scattered clips all over the internet so sorry about the major quality changes for some of the clips.

Death himself doesn't even object and he's right next to Peppermint, nor prismo, because the lich can't kill, he can't leave until he sees an opportunity. Another reason why the lich is far more dangerous then many think, death and prismo himself don't object to Peppermints worry with "We can take care of him" they know he's really just as powerful even if in different ways.

The way he commands every scene that he’s in, showing himself as a force that just can’t be fucked around with, it’s such a brilliant character that easily stands out from all others.

Its fascinating seeing how the Lich evolved over the course of the show Initially he's introduced as what you'd think a Lich would be. An incredibly powerfull necromancer who managed to cheat death and has obtained more knowledge and power than any sorcerer could ever possess without going down the same dark path But over the course of the show we learn that the Lich is a *universal constant* An avatar of death and decay who is trying to understand chaos incarnate, Golb, only to realise he tried to fathom something that was never intended to be fathomed and becoming damned for eternity

I genuinely think that the interaction with GOLB and Lich changes how we knew Lich. We always thought he was the embodiment of evil, a constant that cannot change and the end of all things. But the interaction recontextualizes a lot about him. He isn't some powerful embodiment or the end of all things. In the end, he's just a small being that was led by a god he didn't understand to give him a purpose because he had none. And what does he get for all his efforts? To become a part of the other many failed scholars of GOLB.

bruh, he works like a machine but he's still a being (primordial one), even if he served one purpose, and even if he were just to function as a machine yall simply look at it in the context that he can only do one thing, which in the context he has to end all life and create a means of achieving that goal, the fact he was conscious enough to not be satisfied makes perfect sense. And yall say he's weak like he didn't lose to like the strongest character in the verse. By that logic gojo must be weak.

[@TheKoopaKingBowser]

@@themarshian5124 I don't think he's the strongest character, GOLB is obviously matched by like 5 entities in the adventure time lore. 1: The Cosmic Imagination, who created GOLB as It is literally the sentient multiverse according to the Enchiridion, most likely Prismo, and Scarabs "boss." 2: The Enchiridion, The Book which is not a book, The Enchiridion is actually a nigh-omnipotent omniscient entity that takes the form of a book, and in its own words, it will judge the multiverse at the end of all things. 3. Coconteppi, The Primordial Monster. Who is the originator of all magic, (which would technically include the Cosmic Imagination, as the cosmic imagination is MADE OF magic.) Coconteppi has magic in its most primal and chaotic state, and can cast any spell it can think of. Some spells in adventure time have union which GOLB is weak too. 4. The Lich himself, The Lich is stated to be equal to Hunson Abadeer, who considers The Lich his only and equal rival, Hunson is stated to be a primordial monster in the Ooo Encyclopedia (might not be canon, unsaid.) And literally one shot GOLB in the comics, The Lich should be equal to that. And The Lich is a catalyst comet of which scales to Finn, who could defeat The Primordial Elementals, who existed "before all this." according to one of them in the comics. This show literally nerfed The Lich. 5. The Purple Catalyst comet, The Purple Catalyst comet said it exist "in a new mode of existence," meaning it could merge with The Cosmic Imagination on a whim. The Purple Catalyst comet scales to The Blue Catalyst Comet (Finn) and The Green Catalyst Comet (The Lich.)

[@---ke3lg]

The fact that Golb didn't even kill the Lich, only the Lich from the universe in which he extinguished all life, shows how powerful the Lich is. The guy has so much power that the embodiment of absolute chaos cannot get rid of him permanently, even while it is severely influenced by Betty's psyche. I imagine that before Betty's psyche merged with Golb, there was nothing Golb would have done to the Lich, he would have let him succeed and fail in his task in a billion worlds and would have never rewarded or tried to stop him.

[@vavalaz]

i mean the lich can die seeing the farm world episode, if it wasnt for his hand dissapearing he wouldve died, and my guess is that either the teris blocks are the liches that won or people who annoyed golb, making golb trap them forever

[@nhhopp4960]

He is the green comet, after all even if he dies, another reincarnation of destruction would take his place like the same thing happens with Finn (The blue comet). It's a endless cycle, Lich destroying every lifeform like he did using his wish was his best outcome and still he become depressive and completely hollow of any motivation or goal. In the end he is just a sad existence fated to fail regardless of his outcome and effort put in. @@vavalaz

[@UnknownUser17745]

No, the Lich who extinguished all life is the original lich that make the wish to end all life in that universe in Prismo's room. The Lich who wished for Finn and Jake safely returned to OOO was the one in the alternative universe created by Prismo. So the original Lich is the same as the alternative one, basically not powerful enough to be scared by Golb. Betty Golb could obliterated him in a note if she wanted to but she just didn't.

[@halgaucher6730]

I think the implication is less that he is formidable and more than GOLBetty is still a chaotic being. It may not be their design.

[@humanwreckage4563]

Chaos isn't death, though. Golb probably can't kill him, it's not within Golb's domain of power. The Lich was always wrong, and to be so wrong about something so blatantly obvious he was punished.

[@shiver8082]

Yeah he’s in every conceivable universe now or something like that. My headcannon is that every single one of those blocks in the golb area is a version of the lich. Something that golb doesn’t like since he wants to spread chaos NOT death. But the lich always wins in the end.. He IS The end

sounds weird be the end is never ending Once the end is there its eternity until something else happens In this case the universe is recreated with the lich once more returning I feel like the lich will get rid of golbs job of spreading chaos to existing things To nothing since the lich will win I feel like the lich will have a realisation across the multiverse that him winning maybe makes golb useless until another unjverse is created Golb is still unbelievably powerfull... *But the lich is beyond strenght*......

[@Clorgisclorg]

That's what the Lich never understood. Chaos isn't death, it's life. It's the struggle of the unknown, the torment of what is next, the uncertainty of chance. In death, the chaos ends. In all his studies he never came upon the realization that in his creation of chaos, he possessed an end--he aimed for Order as a servant of chaos. Golb never acted in pure death and destruction; it acted in mania and madness, corrupting everything around it. The Lich was never going to succeed, because his goal from the start was to fail Golb in not understanding what it was Golb wanted.

[@superenderguy2346]

It’s genuinely fascinating seeing one of my favorite villains in TV animation in such an emotional state like this. We knew that The Lich wanted to destroy all life in Ooo in the name of Golb, but I don’t think many of us ever truly stopped to think about what would happen if he succeeded in his goal. Unlike regular Lich and Farmworld Lich, this is a version of the Lich who *has* succeeded. He did everything he set out to do for what’s basically his god, and what did this god reward him with, *nothing.* This Lich was left unsatisfied and lost all purpose as a result. After all, why devote your existence to a higher being and even destroy all life in your entire universe in their name when you’ll be given nothing in return. The last we see of him he’s literally yelling to Golb if he did something wrong and if there’s more needed of him, only for Golb to kill him and turn his body into a literal Tetris block. It actually makes you question everything you knew about The Lich up to this point and even makes you feel a bit sympathy for him which you definitely couldn’t say about him in the past. What a great villain. What a great show.

[@bearbenny4619]

Also remember, that isn't golb that the lych dedicated all of his efforts to him, that's Betty, no longer the god the lych was working for

[@belialkott]

the funny thing is that after Sweet P slayed Lich the last time the dude DIED. Like literally died and went to death realm like every living creature does. That means he's not on GOLB or Orgalorg level of power, he's just a jerk like vampire king from vampire universe. And the reason why he felt that bad is also the sign what he's not anything even compared to GOLB, just a random lost soul who got some power but still lost to Billy, Finn and Sweet P

[@vanndymaywho1910]

This right, this is exactly how I interpreted the Lich. He was never an actual force of nature but a zealot who proclaimed himself to understand the will of Golb… when he couldn’t have been further from the truth. In the end he wasted his life and I can’t say that he didn’t deserve it, no one demanded he do any of the things he did.

This Lich just made a wish to end all life and that was it, there was no effort or journey just the end result and thus no fulfillment.

[@jeanremi8384]

Well he more sorta skinned him...

He skinned him alive…

[@Sterland109]

it's so eerie seeing him both so angry and loud but also so quiet and depressed in fionna and cake. two sides we never really saw of him in adventure time

[@Wirzxcve]

What’s crazier is that the lich killed the original world

[@Different_wilson]

​@@Wirzxcvehe actually got sent to a version of the original world, Which is known as ooo prime wasn't actually affected

[@cephalopod-crossing]

Idk if anyone mentioned but its kinda cool that the "monkeys paw" that Prismo warns abt still applies to this wish reality. As he's left without purpose.

[@mistertwister2000]

“Before there was time, before there was anything, there was nothing. And before there was nothing . . . there were *monsters.”* That line goes so fucking hard

[@chasethemaster3440]

All his lines go hard well most of them anyway

[@DW9427]

1:43 so are we not going to talk about this brutal kill

[@Argax_us]

*" It's a kids show "* they said...

[@BaByXD999]

​@@Argax_usbut think Why every time lech die by this easy ways? I'm really angry , he just watch when Finn kill him

[@CorpseDollar]

Yknow i think i understand why the lich was ignored by Golb, even before Betty fused with him. Looking back to the point where the Lich wishes for the extinction of all life in Prismo's room. If you think about it, the lich never actually accomplishes his goal by wishing for the extinction of all life. All he does is create a separate reality where everyone is dead, meanwhile Ooo prime remains untouched. Assuming the lich who made that wish and the one we see in Fionna and cake are the same person. The Lich essentially imprisoned himself without ever realizing it.

[@mmxxiii9503]

That is s good point and explains why Golb didn't listen in the first place

[@winterglide4000]

Maybe it's just that by killing all life you are left with no chaos, just... nothing. In order to have chaos you need life

[@hunterpatton1370]

“You’re so evil it’s boring! You’re basic, man.” Finn really keeping it real even feet from death.

[@kinmation]

Who ever voice acted the Lich, did a great job❤

[@tiablue9106]

Ron Perlman

[@lunardr4gn828]

The lich has a shockingly soothing voice for such a powerful entity

[@ODISeth]

It’s interesting how little we see the Lich in his true form. Either his true form is how he appeared trapped in the tree resin, and since then he’s just been wearing the flesh and skeletons of everyone else, or his true form genuinely is just the skeleton and even that first appearance he was wearing someone else’s skin. But either way most of the time he’s wearing Billy’s flesh, possessing PB or the snail, possessing Jake, or embodying Jake’s hand.

[@freesteylerr082]

We never got to see his true form His true form is basically what connects him to all his vessels and avatars He is a god that lives in a higher form of existence, and not in this physical plane of existence

[@AL-tu9zy]

"And in my universe, this I achieved! But it have me no satisfaction in succeeding, I've lost all purpose..." He really did win in the end, and yet he still lost

[@chasethemaster3440]

That scene is so stupid and makes no sense

[@loganentertainment1814]

I almost feel bad for The Lich. His primary function is causing mass death, but he was made that way. It’s not like it was his choice. Even when he did win in his universe, he still lost. He’s one of those characters that is evil, but we never really questioned what would happen to how he would act if he did win. The Fiona and Cake series nailed it pretty well. If we ever get a season 2 of Fiona and Cake, I hope we’ll see The Lich again.

[@JakurtyKulgin]

Well,i hope everyone know that Farmwolrd!Lich hand fallen in every multireality😨

[@mr.ropotto4091]

I like the scene at 5:24 I know it isn't the case, but the Lich yelling Billy's name like Billy would makes me think of the idea that there's still some semblance of Billy in him, or that the Lich is identifying himself with Billy after already having to pretend to be him for however long between his death and Finn's help for the enchiridion. Again, I know it probably isn't the case but I like the uncertainty that head cannon gives me

Facts

[@nateds7326]

I forgot how scary the Litch was. The way he’s presented in Fiona and Cake was bone chilling.

[@Thesigmaone747]

3:24 This image feels so horrifying because of the lich's design, his cold stare towards you, and how out of place he feels. Also, editing this, its also because of how it feels like he just, looks past you, with no life in his eye's.

[@keeganleonard4562]

6:52 best monologue from the lich

[@ArbitraryEverything]

Something that just dawned on me is that those green blocks represent universes, revealed when Simon touched several of them and ended up in a different world each time. So Golbetty took this being of pure death and entropy and remade him into a new universe. It's poetically ironic. The Lich destroyed life and wanted purpose, and Golbetty gave him the purpose of becoming the genesis of all the life of a new universe. Whether this is redemption or punishment for the Lich is hard to say.

[@loganentertainment1814]

7:29, The Lich reaches out with his left, but at 7:33, he’s reaching for Finn with his right hand.

[@Soundwave880stopmotions]

I hope the Lich is the main antagonist of the next season of Fiona and Cake, because he is the best character in adventure time

[@chasethemaster3440]

Definitely one of the best i hope so too and I hope they make up for their massive mistake they made with him in the first season

[@Soundwave880stopmotions]

@@chasethemaster3440 Gold may be the Ultimate Evil, but I think the ship of him being the main Antagonist sailed when Betty infected his mind. Golb is pure evil, but Lich is the only one in Adventure time who tries his hardest to be bad! I dont know how long it will take, how many years we must wait, but the Lich will be back. Its like Springtrap, or like Chucky. In some alternate reality, with some severed limb, with some well of power, the saying remains the same. ¨I ALWAYS COME BACK!¨

[@LiamDerWandrer]

My most nightmarefuel realisation in relation to this villain is the one I just had. He was turned into a tetris block. He is not the only such exact tetris block present. This leaves me with the VERY concerning question, of how many followers of Golb managed to succeed in doing their gods bidding, only to be granted that selfsame back-stabbing end. None of them ever knowing about the others, not even in true death. Worse even, since the blocks may yet be undead in eternal unlife. A real serious case of 'I have no mouth and I must scream'. So many universes and so many potentially stuck in eternal suffering souls of the literal damned. O_O

[@krajicsek13]

[@PentaromaLMA0]

I like how he's completely dead serious at times but he gets his ass beaten and it makes the scene infinitely hilarious

[@childObliterator]

Glad to see that the video updated. Good to see that there are more scenes this time, as well as the scenes from Fiona & Cake

[@J_GoTTi]

What?! That bit that was 0.1x speed! I never noticed that! It must’ve been one frame in the show! Absolutely incredible, thank you for this video.

[@hombrel4287]

It's a shame that the writters forgot about the litches hand going to every universe during the Fionna and Cake episodes.

[@littlemoth4956]

Prismo said it was disastrous enough that his boss would be mad. You don’t think someone like the Scarab would clean it up? Not to mention, the lich hand isn’t capable of much, and was likely killed many times over by Finn, if not by others

[@duckb8061]

I assume the multiplied Lich hands happened way before Fionna’s universe was “canonized” so that’s why

[@toyboy5404]

If the show gets a second season then I can see the Lich hand appearing for an episode tbh

[@SamDeMonic]

​@@littlemoth4956thing is The Scarab ignored Alot and only did few that caught his intrest, Mainly prismo due to being jealous

[@Falloutlover1011]

They didn’t forget. The hands simply weren’t relevant to the story they wanted to tell in the season.

[@JohnMcKinney-uw8qc]

He was such a phenomenal villain. His voice acting, design, lines, everything.

[@thetruecyrusplayz1256]

13:43 Considering what happened to the lich that Actually succeeded, I think the Lich should really consider Finn's words here

[@jeff5981]

The Snail version of the Lich is possibly my favourite version of him. No matter how small and insignificant his form is, he's *always* the most terrifying being to exist at all times.

[@ZeonicMerc-nt3cv]

Welp, Golbetty just simply wanted the lich to watch his tone... truly a "Watch yo tone mf" moment.

[@Deity_EditZ]

Something about Farmworld Lich just looks the most evil to me. Especially when he says, "Sleep."

I love how Finn is almost defeating Lich when Simon casaully appears in front of him being a crazy idiot

[@MegaInferGoku19617]

It is truly amazing how the Lich cemented himself as one of the best animated villains of all times and he didn’t need much to do it. Just a bunch of brief moments 0:10, 1:04, 2:26, 3:45, 5:02, 5:28, 5:53, 6:39, 8:41

[@MegaInferGoku19617]

what I find interesting is that the physical forms of the Lich get defeated rather easily, yet the Lich himself will always survive and always come back. Not even wishing him from existence is enough to keep him away.

[@shawnoconnor8075]

He is not so much a physical fighter, but a spell caster, and he has time on his side . He can stop fin and Jake so simply with the word fall, it really showed how much he chooses to hold back

[@Different_wilson]

​@@shawnoconnor8075 I mean lich is Always destined to be defeated by finn,since they both are the incarnations of evil and good

[@shygalsarashygal2755]

I find it interesting that even after all of adventure time and Fionna and cake, the litch is still a threat. As they only show 3 versions of him, and obviously no one can say if they all share the same goal but he still exists in every universe

[@anthonyrodriguez-rendon3553]

The fact that he has little screentime is kinda genius. Villains who appear a lot lose their intimidation quickly, but since The Lich appears a lot less often, whenever he appears, shits about to get real

[@atsumaiii3085]

Dude all those floating pieces are his former vassels of Golb at the end. Due that runs soo deep

[@PR1ME98]

Yup. And when you complete your task he just turns you to a tetris block and has you float beside him in an eternal void outside of time :)

[@ElGokuPESero123]

​@@PR1ME98probably no one understood Golb's objective, The Lich destroyed all life, that didn't create chaos, it ended it, if there is nothing left, then everything its calm, and Golb literally wants the opposite to calm, chaos.

[@PR1ME98]

@@ElGokuPESero123 thats what i was thinking when he said that he completed his objective. I was like “If he completed it then he’s just a lone soul. It’s peaceful because no one else is there to stir up trouble.” Which is kind of counterproductive for golb.
