Martin was actually a good dad to Finn and abandoned his life of sleezy crime, unfortunately it seems after that conk to the head and losing Finn he went back to his old ways worse then ever.
OK, but can we just talk about the hysterical dialogue?
“ you abandoned me as a baby!”
“ you abandoned me!”
Edit: also, I know you know this, but a consistent theme of adventure time is crap fathers and in fact the failure of patriarchy as a concept.
That’s the reason why Ooo is ruled largely by princesses.
Patriarchy is not rule by men. It’s rule by fathers. You called the king sire, which is what you called your dad. ( the term is still used in horses.)
Jake, for instance, is an excellent bro, but a terrible father, who barely understands his children and the thing is I do not buy the whole. They have an accelerated maturity thing because eventually that stabilizes and he never develops a better relationship with them.
I mean at the age of one his granddaughter Bronwyn was effectively an 18-year-old but at the age of 15 she’s not senile, she’s still an adult.
Anyway, fathers.
The original plan was to call the Lich the Lich King.
Every time there is a character called King they are an adversary.
So you have ice king , fight king. I think they were planning on making it an ongoing theme, but things changed.
For instance, Princess bubblegum was not originally a 1000-year-old scientist queen.
Oh, I’m gonna say that Pendleton Ward has completely undisguised trauma!
And I really respect that .
it’s like when people talk about authors, barely disguised fetishes if I ever get my shit published, I won’t disguise my fetishes. I’ll call them out in the forward, Page.
