Wasn't there a Cosmic Owl episode where he saw someone dreaming about a pretty lady and went in to hit on her and ended up loving up the whole dreamscape somehow? I'm like 80% sure I didn't just dream that.

Both of you guys are talking about the one where he finds out Gunther is a powerful dream being which ends up foreshadowing Orgalorg a little but not very well. E: Season 6, Episode 36 Hoots according to my google search.

KennyMan666 posted:The Lich did call itself "the last scholar of GOLB". Oh yeah! I feel most unsure of what GOLB is. Name and design wise he seems to go with Grob Gob Glob Grod, but that guy seems very obviously just an unremarkable mars guy with a fancy hat, he doesn't seem special or immortal or anything on the level of any of the other powerful beings.

GGGG seemed pretty powerful. His helmet alone was something magic man was gonna do some funky poo poo with until Betty turned the tables on him and stole his powers. Seemed like he was Abraham Lincoln's big enforcer guy, a big hunk of muscle to throw around whenever dangerous people like magic man or the comet needed containing. Also if we're talking about gods maybe ol' Abraham should get a shout out. His appearance before death was brief but hoo boy did he do some crazy stuff

I'm not claiming I could beat him in a fight or anything. He just doesn't seem like a cosmic entity the way some of the others do. Like it's magic man's brother who is a couple hundred years old instead of a fundamental force of the universe or older than time or anything.

I like that the cosmic owl appears to you when something prophetic and significant is dreamt. He just straight up tells Iceking "You're a sociopath."

He seems like a demigod of sorts, far above most any characters but a step down from the primary forces of nature. Kind of like the lich vs golb

But he's rarely anything toe to toe with the cosmic level entities. Like he's real strong but he's got brothers and family and stuff, he wasn't born out of the fabric of the universe or from beyond time or anything. It's interesting that golb seems like he is a cosmic level entity since he is name and design related to GGGG but seems like a totally separate thing. Did GGGG copy him? did golb make the GGGG helmet? Is Golb their secret 6th brother?

Grob Gob Glob Grod is covered with Golb imagery because that dude (those dudes?) has all sorts of magical destiny going on, that just rarely intersects with Finn's story.

He appears in what turns out to be one of the penguin dreams when he wasn't supposed to, and causes one of them to slip, fall, and embarrass themselves because it happened in a dream. It seems he's also partly responsible for the whole Elementals thing, as he was forced into a dream by Gunter/Orgalorg/the peacock and made the candy kingdom melt into gum just like it later happened.

I forgot that golb killed margles. So I guess he actively hangs around the martians, so I guess them having the same hat makes some sense.

GOLB appears briefly (and for the first time) when Finn dies of old age in Puhoy and flies through the great beyond. So whatever he is, he typically chills out beyond death and time and reality and all that.

It makes sense for the anti-god of discord and entropy, the end of all things, to show up at the death of a pocket dream universe thing. I wonder if anyone fused with GOLB before Betty, if his nature changes with a larger cosmic cycle than the 1000-year one that we see.

I've been a long time fan of the show. I passed the original short around, checked back in on the series every few years until last week when I started season 7 for the first time. Finished the show yesterday... and I cried... but you didn't see me cry. I'll be reading this thread until the hole left in my heart heals. Anyone have a link to the weird metaphysical web comic from the AT storyboarder/maybe writer? I want to see it again after all the catalyst comet / butterfly / Shoko reincarnation bits. Also, do any of the comics/tweets or other materials go into what the heck all the dead world dimensions are or were about? The wiki lists all the canon mentions. I'm familiar with the D&D cosmologies and Dante's Inferno and know that they were inspirations, but I'd be happy to hear about any supplemental material. Finally, has anyone seen any BMO projects? I just want a reason to hear "Yay, BMO!" more often.

I like how Fern takes the form of a bear briefly while fighting Finn in the finale. The theme of bears and fighting bears as one of the benchmarks of heroism comes up several times throughout the series. It's there in Billy's theme song, it's in Shelby & Kent's song ("together we could probably fight a bear"), and of course the episode with the bear usurping Finn. I feel like there are a couple of other examples I can't think of atm, but if you look for them, they're there.

Last night I got high and binged the last episodes of Adventure Time. What a wonderful send-off, lots of loose ends tied up. I figured for a while that it would end with the Ice King going back to normal. It's truly the end of an era for Cartoon Network.

In the episode with the Cosmic Owl and Gunther I think the dream that that got screwed up was prophesying Princess Bubblegum's downfall into earwax, which was the King of Ooo claiming the kingdom (same color anyways, if I remember right). Not so much the destruction of the Candy Kingdom, but her losing the crown for a while. Of course the kingdom falls eventually, but I don't think that dream was related to it. Also I can't help but wonder if like someone said on the last page the crown actually did revert, and Gunther got Ice King'd just like everyone before him. Did the jewels on the crown change color before or after she put it on?

Did the jewels on the crown change color before or after she put it on? I absolutely took it as gunther wishing to be ice king, instead of the original wish to be evergreen wish since he also got some drums out of it. It seemed like a new wish that just happened to be functionally identical to the old one.

If you get very ![]() It looks like the Ice Crown makes some kind of mind-copy of whomever wears it, so there's a Simon and a Betty in there living weird digital magic people lives.

Having just rewatched Season 1, here's some random observations: - I forgot all the things they used to do that was part of the Adventure Time style, that they phased out. These include saying "Adventure Time!" with the title popping up (or making a joke out of it), Finn's body being all loosey-goosey, and close-ups of a distorted, ugly, hilarious Finn face - BMO doesn't speak at all until the Donny episode, making me think originally he was just a Game Boy. His first line is "I don't have emotions, but --" which obviously flies in the face of later characterization - In a flashback Marcy is the in sun, oops - In the businessman episode Finn isn't afraid of the ocean - PB acts way more immature and like a teenager, I guess they hadn't decided she was thousands of years old yet Still amazing, wonderful and crazy creative show. I love it.
