Hrm... Finn's into BP again. Time is a flat circle.
But is PB into Finn this time? With Bubblegum learning to chill out things could be heading that way.

Finn's getting older, and since PB's hang up was about his maturity, I can see PB coming around as Finn gets closer to 19.
PBs been getting too dark lately. I liked the change.
That was a fun episode. Guess PB really took to heart what FP said to her last episode. Jake was delightfully evil in this episode having fun watching the candy people devolve into beasts ha. Loved the Jake tears.
Also Adventure Time schedule for this month.

I love that episode, it shows how both are growing up.
The candy people are hilarious, I would do the same as Jake. I didn't though he was evil.

If in fact that's what he is....
Promo image for today's episode. Could be considered spoilery, maybe, by someone? So linking instead of embedding, just in case.

Which, to be fair, women find attractive.
I think it's less of women finding it attractive and more of it being better because they don't feel like every guy that is friendly is trying to get them to go out with them and they have more of a say in the speed of the friendship/relationship, so instead of becoming friends for the sole purpose of attraction, they're friends because they actually get along.

Soooo, it focused on the rulers of Ooo's predecessors? And the future is fudged? I thought the comet represented Litch King until the very end reveal.

Sounded like Bobby Hill
Good lord I can't handle all dat lore
Pretty sure that's Pamela Adlon.
It seems that the crown did grant Gunter's deepest wish, which was to be just like Evergreen, to the point of obsession. The first comet hit, and probably brought the Lich/the source of the Lich, killed the dinosaurs, etc.
The new comet coming... yeah, that's probably something else, and they're probably boned.

That episode was crazy! Can't wait till we see more.
Lemon Hope? They wouldn't necessarily be connected. One was far in the past and the other far in the future.
Comet, huh? Seen this before:
"Listen carefully, Simon's Comet will return by the end of this summer. And the Lich King will use its power to end all life once and for all. If he succeeds, even Prismo won't be able to restore peace to the world. Finn, you must defeat the Lich *before* the comet arrives."
You're talking about the future Candy Kingdom, completely ravaged and abandoned? Maybe has nothing to do with the new comet, which could be season/series finale material.

When was the quote brought up?
Shit is getting realer that real in AT and Steven Universe.

If the power of the crown is to be able to grant its wearers deepest wish then why did Simon become the Ice King?
As that was the first wish the crown granted for Gunter, is that now 'locked-in' and the crown will only now bestow ice powers to whomever puts it on?

Seems that way, at least for now. Maybe PB can reset it.
This episode certainly changed the way I look at things. I'd always thought about the candy people and other odd creatures in terms of nuclear war and mutations. Now it seems they were a natural part of the world form the beginning.
Don't forget about Betty.

no he's not Gunter but it was the origin of his crown, as mentioned above it gave him ice powers because that was Gunter's wish

It's certainly framed to give that impression!
Though yeah Dino Gunter died and his memory lives on within the crown which will be why the Ice King inherited his same power and also why Ice King 'dreams of him sometimes'
I was thinking about her after this episode.
I'd thought the power she'd been researching to help Simon would now instead be needed to fend off the comet and he'd be forever doomed.
Her resetting the crown so it can used for it's original purpose of destroying the comet is a lot more logical though
I'm waiting for the Bubblegum reverse-heelturn where she knew about the comet all along and her gathering of artefacts, etc was just a preventative plan for it this whole time.
I assumed that the crown's abilities would be based on the wish of the first person who wore it wished for. If it had been the comet-destroying wish, then the crown would have become an artifact with the ability to destroy comets. But Gunter's wish to be like Evergreen combined with the constant verbal abuse caused the crown to grant Evergreen's powers and Gunter's warped perception of Evergreen's personality.
Basically the crown is gives you ice powers, but also Gunter's messed up psyche after it fused with Evergreen's personality. Ice King's misuse of his own powers and childish behavior (and naming all of his penguins different variations of the same name like what Gunter was doing with his cat(?)) are traits taken from Gunter himself, while the actual abilities, rudeness, and appearance are taken from Evergreen.
There is one question, though: who stopped the comet? They didn't destroy it since it's supposed to return, but if it had hit then the planet should have been destroyed, right? It's also cements the idea of magical creatures prior to the mushroom war.

I thought that crater was a result of the Mushroom War, but now that you mention it, it does look a little large to be the result of a nuke.

Since Gunter & Nina are pretty much dinosaurs, i'd imagine that the comet Evergreen was trying to stop was the Chicxulub asteroid that hit earth and wiped out the dinosaurs.
Thats from the comet that hit around the time of the great mushroom war. Different comet.
^ Maybe not.
Order of events seems to go:
age of dinosaurs and apparently magical elementals -> First Impact -> magic fizzles, rise of mammals -> age of humankind -> Second Impact (i.e. catastrophic event that may or may not be the result of another comet) -> magic and all manners of new mutant life emerge -> Land of Ooo civilization established -> 1000 years later, and Third Impact looms
Here's the thing: the promo pic I linked to earlier suggests First Impact resulted in the now-familiar gigantic missing chunk of Earth. Are we to assume that humanity arose on a planet with a humongous crater on its melon? Did this universe's humans not think it was such a big deal? Maybe that's why Simon was so interested in artifacts of the old world: trying to piece together how the world became so damaged?
Or the image is wrong.
The other thing that weirds me out is how the 1st comet seemed to have Lich-like characteristics (green, comet trails that look like horns) so it seems to have something to do with the Lich. This is just headcannon but maybe the evil desire to extinguish all life that makes up The Lich was inside the comet and buried itself deep within the Earth during the collision and later was awakened by humanity's Mushroom War, resulting in the destruction of modern civilization.

Astral Plane - Sneak Peek
Pretty excited for this episode.

No, I don't think thats right. In the episodes "Finn the Human" and "Jake the Dog," the farmworld was shown to not have a crater - in fact, you see the comet heading towards the earth then change direction at the last second.
This universe is a place where the Lich never existed (i.e the comet doesnt hit and the bomb doesnt go off) - yet we see in Evengreen the comet is shaped like the Lich, and in Farmworld, the Lich comes from the bomb.
So the way I see it, The Lich isnt a single entity - its basically evil incarnate, that takes numerous forms. Or like you said, it got burried in the earth and then sealed in that bomb (But then why is there another Lich comet heading towards the earth?)
The comet that caused the crater is definitely the one that hit around the time of the mushroom war (though its still not clear if its what caused the war - but this would be likely as the survivors would go to war over remaining resources and infrastructure. On the other hand, maybe its something that happened after the war and just made matters worse).
Re: the crown. I think Gunther basically corrupted the crown - it wasn't used int he way it was supposed to. Thats why the crown made simon go crazy - it basically turned him into a new Gunther.
Other takeaways - Gunther and Evergreen are dead, but I wonder if the other elementals are. They were frozen in ice so maybe they could have survived. On the other hand, they were at ground zero so maybe not. Also, Slime is one of the four major elements yet hasn't played a big role in Adventure Time to date, unlike Ice, Fire and Candy - I wonder if they chose slime deliberately or just for kicks. Also mentioned is thata comet hits the earth every 1000 years - thats pretty frequent, though they did say only some of them are Lichy.

I actually laughed out loud when Ice King was like, "You guys ever have those dino boy dreams?" Great episode.
