Omg guys:
Jesse Moynihan said:I did one episode with illustration/comics superstar @dyrtbagg this season. Maybe you were good and didn't see it when it aired in Brazil. Anyway even if you did, I made this drawing to confuse you, and force you to re-watch it.
YUS!
EDIT: A short from the director http://www.thisiscolossal.com/2014/02/move-mountain-a-new-stop-motion-short-from-kirsten-lepore/
So the comet isn't really the usual 1000 year comet, it's actually Finns dad?
So now that Evergreen just finished replaying we can get some things straight:
- The comet comes every 1000 years bringing an agent of change. The first time it came, that agent was apparently The Lich (it writhes, aching for the extinction of life on Earth).
- The crown bonds to its first bearer, granting them their deepest desire. Its first bearer was Gunther, whose deepest desire was to be just like Evergreen, albeit, an obsessed, twisted vision of Evergreen.
- The comet that brought the Lich and the one that created a huge crater in Ooo might not be the same. The one that's headed to Earth in the present is off-schedule, and until Grob Gob Glob Grod's intervention, was off-course, headed for Mars. RIP GGGG.
- The current incoming comet actually appears to be the spaceship of Finn's dad, Martin, out of control. I suppose that means Martin is the unexpected agent of change. We never did find out why he got sent to cosmic prison in the first place, did we...?
The incoming comet can't be the one that brings the agent of change, thats the 1000 year one. This is Dads spaceship, which is a comet because reasons. Chances are it won't hit Earth, or will be stopped. It could set up a great episode between Finn and his Dad.
Well yeah, I figure this one is more "symbolic" than the usual case. I expect many things I expect many things about this instance will be different, if not for the sole reason that I doubt they'd just kill everybody and say "Welp, the end."
Suddenly makes me think of Bubblegum and the shit she's been pulling lately. She probably knows about the comet, doesn't she? At the very least, the history behind them.
That was quite the episode. Going to have to rewatch that one again. Dammit Martin way to become an even worse dad ha. Though it did seem like he was intentionally trying to crash into mars instead of Earth. Poor Glob.

They acknowledged that it was early, and that it was off course. But that could be because of Finn's dad, not because its the wrong comet.
Still weird about the 1000 years bit. Thats not a lot of time - it'd mean that thousands of comets hit Earth between Evergreen and the great mushroom war.
It did seem, but why? What does he gain from wiping it out. Really good episode, brings up a lot of questions.
Maybe it was Martins attempt at trying to be good dad. He knows Finn is on Earth right. Curious as to how he got into that predicament in the first place though.
I really wonder if theyre gonna redeem Martin somehow, or if they will just write him off as a shithead. Or maybe they faked us out and he isn't Finn's dad but... I doubt that. I am definitely really curious to see where this plotline goeseven though itll be back to the status quo immediately afterwards.
Yup the focus shifted back to Finn and Jake and now everything is good again.Also I was a bit ambivalent about the show near the beginning of the season but it seems to have gotten its groove back

The world needs more episodes focused on Tree Trunks though. She's so sweet. Hell I could go for some kind of BMO/Tree Trunks ep.
Also, did anyone notice in the Evergreen ep that the big monster thing was basically overgrown monstrous Tree Trunks?
They said that the comet mysteriously reincarnates itself every 1000 years. Maybe the current incarnation is Finn's Dad's ship losing control.

Tree Trunks and Mr. Pigs child, Sweet P, runs into trouble on his first day of school.
Finn is led to a friendly civilization and a mysterious crash site by a vision.

66 Million Years Before Bomb: During the age of Dinosaurs, the world has four elemental wizards: Ice/Fire/Candy/Slime.
66 Million Years Before Bomb: Evergreen creates the Crown of Wish-Fulfillment to stop the comet.
66 Million Years Before Bomb: Gunther wishes to be like Evergreen instead of wishing to stop the comet. Most life on earth is wiped out, including Gunther and the rest of the dinosaurs. Crown survives and is bonded to the original wish.
500,000 Years Before Bomb: Humans evolve and create civilisation.
~50 Years Before Bomb: Present day for us. Humans have cellphones and cars, but not holograms or sapient A.I's.
~1 Year Before Bomb: Simon the scholar finds ancient Crown. Drawn to its power.
Mushroom Bomb detonated: The Mushroom Bomb is dropped. Most life on Earth wiped out (again). Not Simon, because he had the Crown.
~1 Year After Bomb: Simon's use of the Crown is turning him into the Ice King.
? Years After Bomb: World of Ooo as we know it emerges. Simon has fully descended into being the Ice King. Candy kingdom emerges.
?+1000 Years After Bomb: Finn and Jake have adventures together in the world of Ooo.
?+1006 Years After Bomb: Present day for Finn and Jake. A new comet is coming.
I think you hit the nail on the head.I found this on Reddit and added to it:
My thoughts
- The original comet brought the Lich, and he eventually wiped out all life on Earth. Once his purpose was complete, he fell into a deep slumber.
- (As seen in the Farmworld universe, as soon as the Mushroom Bomb is detonated and the Lich is released, various animals in the vicinity start to quickly mutate. Could humanity itself be the result of the mutagenic aftermath of the Lich's original attack?)
- Humans create the Mushroom Bomb. I guess they must have used material related to the Lich? Or it's possible they actually found the Lich himself and somehow managed to make HIM the bomb, which would explain its seemingly magical properties.
- Either way, the bomb is used and the Lich is released for the second time. He successfully wipes out (most) life on Earth and falls into a slumber once again, during which he is encased in amber.
I just accidentally tuned in to adventure time on cartoon network, it was the episode where Marceline explains Simon's story. I says that that was "996 years ago" This means that the actual comet cannot be that far off from returning, right?
I was under the impression that the World of Ooo is meant to just be our Earth in the future? It isn't an alternate universe or anything.I can't imagine their jurassic period ran parallel to ours and actually was 66 million years ago.
There would've been too many comets, which then makes everything else a bit of a stretch.
Has the crown really survived being hit by 60,000 comets for example...?
I think (hope) the time passed between the crown being created and Simon finding it are a lot closer than we're thinking...

The way I'm looking at the comet reappearing every 1000 years is that it doesn't always destroy all life. It just brings an agent of change, whatever that may be. So most of those comets were probably much smaller and didn't cause major destruction.
This makes me wonder if a comet hitting is what "instigated" the Mushroom War? Like, tensions were high and a comet crash was percieved as an attack? Though I doubt the comet would've gone undetected...I think you hit the nail on the head.
That Reddit post is also nice, though it doesnt mention the comet that probably started the Mushroom war (or hit right after).
...Huh. o_o It'll be interesting to see if that ever gets brought up.Rewatching "The Vault", a comet was one of Finns previous lives. It would present another connection with him and the comet.
