Comedy in Obsidian - Adventure Time: Distant Lands Analysis

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!

[@2kpal10]

Whilst it's sad that this is probably the last time we'll see Marcy and Bonnie, I'm glad that the backstory of their relationship was finally explained to give Bubbline fans some closure. It's also satisfying that Marceline is finally content and happy for the first time in her life

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.

@@danielcastillo591 Well it's highly unlikely of Jake to stay still with a winking eye for a long time. And knowing Jake, he could not have controlled himself from busting some moves whenever a song came on.

This video is just Uncivilized Elk demanding more AT merch and I AM HERE FOR IT. --Also Marceline in Obsidian really helped me bridge that gap you mentioned during your Stakes video. 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.

[@dax3629]

can we just have a spin off show of these two being wholesome and badass please 🥺

[@homeguard8481]

No.

Another favourite joke of mine was PB being so proud that all the root beer came from her body, like its probably the only time her candy powers have come in handy

[@KirbyFanFortWenny]

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

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 :)

[@noooplease1707]

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

[@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

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.

[@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.

[@zevfriedman348]

The banana guards throwing spears at marceline really got me

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 👍

[@kattastic9999]

I am SO EXCITED to see you get into the new post war ruins. I really like how it seems immediately after the mushroom war, humans went back to painting on every surface they came into contact with like we used to in prehistoric times.

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.

[@joecastle288]
