And then! Glass Boy arrives! And begs for Marceline’s help to tame the dragon once again!
They’re still who they are - Marcy’s a little scared of expressing her tender feelings, and Peebs is a control nut with a “boss” coffee mug - but they’ve worked out their differences and are just loving and supporting each other every day. And in the third, post-finale Marcy and PB are living a life of domestic bliss: doing puzzles, baking pies, reading books, studying science and working on music, cuddled up on the couch together. In another, baby flashback Marceline is on a journey with her mom who’s getting sicker and sicker. Obsidian opens with three stories: In one, the Glass Kingdom is holding their annual ceremony where they wear masks of “Saint Marceline” and sing the song she sang when she trapped the dragon that was tormenting them in a cave under the city. Obsidian stopped donking around and filled in all the blanks, and with so much care and affection, I still almost can’t believe it happened. Like all of the supporting characters’ storylines on the series, theirs was fractured, moving them forward in time and occasionally revealing something about their past. It was a huge victory for two characters who spent eight years dropping hints about what they meant to each other, and why, and what happened that caused them to have such an intense and antagonistic relationship.

Obsidian finally gave the Ooo-loving gays everything they’ve been wanting.Īdventure Time‘s series finale, “ Come Along With Me,” finally allowed Marcy and PB to give in to the subtext and angst and smooch on their cartoon lips, and their curtain call saw them snuggled up in bed watching TV together. Last week, Obsidian arrived, and promised us nearly an entire hour of Princess Bubblegum and Marceline the Vampire Queen. BMO landed in May and focused on, well, BMO. Sure, you might get another hour or two with them, but at what cost? (Usually the cost of a devastating breakup at best, or death at worst.) And so, it was with deep trepidation that I pressed play on HBO Max’s Adventure Time: Distant Lands - Obsidian, one of four 45-minute specials that check in on fan favorite characters from the show’s original run.
