Hey anyone else remember the episode of Adventure Time called "Evergreen" where it's revealed that the original bearer of the crown to whom it was "forever linked" was actually a neglected child (and prior reincarnation of Finn) named Gunter trying to be like his wizard father?? Anyone??? Because I had fully forgotten until re-watching the episode last night and I'm losing my mind about the implications.
(This episode is also a devastating look at how a mistreated child unconsciously learns that he must treat himself and those he has power over as cruelly as he has been treated. Adventure Time has so much sadness and madness, y'all.)
#original#at#adventure time#Finn the Human#Evergreen Adventure Time#Gunter adventure time#simon petrikov#Evergreen the wizard makes the crown to stop the Lich comet against the advisement of every other Elemental#Evergreen looks a lot like the Ice King but the twist is that his servant / son Gunther ends up having to use the crown to stop the comet#but since the crown grants the user's truest wish and Gunter's wish is to be like Evergreen#instead of saving all life Gunter becomes a crazed parody of his cruel father and ostensibly dies moments later from the comet#so now whoever bears the crown is not linked back to Evergreen they are linked to a boy pretending to be Evergreen#they become a parody of a parody#and now it's happened again but Simon has the choice to be a better father than Evergreen#another Gunter has become a parody of his neglectful father.#although even Ice King was not as cruel as Evergreen. nor this Gunter as innocent. I'm excited for the next episode of fionna and cake#fionna and cake#also the gemstones are eyeballs stolen from a lava elephant that looks like tree trunks#tree trunks#I think there's a good chance that elephant is still alive and wants its eyes back#also the Thematic implications of the name Evergreen matter a lot to me
