But we didn't know that about Ice King at the start of the episode where this came up.

to be fair Bubblegum actually has all of her faculties, she deliberately does things out of malice, pretty often. Ice king is a good man who's trapped in a labyrinth in his own mind and 90% of the things he see's arn't even real. These are hardly comparable. Like her plan for getting rid of lemon grab was literally just to torture him until he left the candy kingdom.

Gotta always point out that he calls Betty his fiancee "Princess" which is why he kidnaps princesses.

I kinda love how you hate on Bubblegum Princess and her many flaws, and then be like: He's just a cute boy. Who kidnaps women. But just a cute boy! Never change Rat Princess.

The show features ruins of modern world buildings, vehicles, and items everywhere in the show, but no regular buildings, humans, or structures except the magical and fantasy kingdoms. The appearance of the modern plane in the tape (and the fact that they're VHS tapes just like the ones in earlier episodes that Jake explicitly says are "From before The Great Mushroom War") clues you in that The Ice King is from before The Great Mushroom War as well.

Ah, the adventure time special. Goofy antics one moment and the WHAM sucker punch to the feelings.

Shout out to Adventure time and Gravity falls giving the comedic relief characters the most tragic backstories

THE LICH he was there as well! i never noticed

The two implications from the tapes are nuts! Does this mean Ice King is a human? And he called Betty his princess! Is that why he’s so obsessed with them?

Look, respectfully, im all for keeping spoiler talk down. But offhandedly suggesting an already recurring character has more screen time and more information about them is revealed later is hardly a spoiler. You might as well go *spoil alert* “This show has characters! And a plot!”
Like, yeah it’s a given, it’s sort of baked into the medium.

Not a spoiler but Sweden specifically, no idea why but whenever they mention Scandinavia it's mostly Sweden they talk about (which is awesome cause' I'm Swedish)

Ice King/Simon is one of the biggest tragedies in this show. I love this episode because it gives a major shift to just how serious this show gets. The Lich is a big deal, but Ice King.... My heart...

Wait... How old is the ice king? No spoilers please but the ice king in the video looked like he lived in our world, there planes in the background and he did mention Scandinavia

The lore in AT is hardcore and you will need a cosnpiracy board to wrap it all together, because just like onepiece, some 'filler' episodes ends up being really important later, like the time treetrunks ate the crystal apple and then we saw a subsequent episode of that, or with the lich episode possesing pb and ice king saying that he sees stuff that he doesnt know if are real and then connects with this one... also, put real close attention to the window in Simon's video, since there stuff happening there,like the airplane on the back, we learned with bananaman that airplanes arent reinvented yet... so he was alive when humans were around, like her fiance betty, so... there is more lore there (simon petrikov is iceking real name)

Ice King lore drop bomb

Dude, be careful about spoilers.
This is officially THE BIG LORE DROP for now. I purposefully made my own post slightly inaccurate for the same reason. Lore drops hit less hard if we hint at them. (I know that it was probably not on purpose, just trying to make it clear. If she reads these, then this might weaken future drops)

Remember when he took so long to tell the boys that the lich possessed PB? He says that with his magic vision he can’t even tell if the stuff he sees is even real so he wasn’t sure if it had happened and then with a very sad tone says he sees the visions always.
Poor boy is literally just a dementia patient and acts erratic because of it.

I remember first viewing this episode when it released when I was 13 and while it didn't make me sad, it made me pause and think about Ice King as more than just some crazy villain. This was what made me think there is more to this show at the time. (note: I was not able to watch the episodes in order at the time so I never saw the first 3 seasons correctly)

That's why I love ice king or marceline episodes the most. They hit so hard

No spoilers or nutin but honestly there are traits among Ice Kings behaviour that seriously feel like social commentary on dementia. A family member had this bad while I was watching and I associate the 2 quite strongly. Love IK, love this show. Sooooo good.

I love that his obsession with princesses comes from his desire to get Betty back, his princess. Sad on top of the sadness that is his madness.

This here is why everyone who has seen the show is all in on you liking Ice King.
The man literally has magical dementia... Except that it might just be worse than dementia, he is doing stuff that Simon really wouldn't even think to do.

Most people are devastated by this episode because they suddenly realize that Ice King is a genuinely sympathetic character, but Alicia was already feeling for him. Instead, she’s devastated because she realizes that it’s it not even his fault he’s like this.

Did you notice that Ice King's nickname for his wife was his "princess"? Him trying to kidnap and marry princesses is him trying to regain his lost love.

Honestly, as someone who had a family member who dealt with mental deterioration, this episode always stuck with me.
Even when folks we know sometimes . . . change, we can still do our best to love and support them.
Merry Christmas everyone 🎄🌲🎄

FINALLY, We can start calling him Simon, again. It has been so hard not to mention him.

I remember when this came out, watching the first big lore drop about Simon/Ice king had me shook, especially since it came out in a random Xmas special lmao

Something that really jabs me in the heart is that he doesn't really want any of these women he chases, he wants Betty, but his mind is so scrambled that he can't remember her, he just remembers that he called her his princess, and his heart has a longing for his princess to love him again--the only way his wacked out mind can make sense of that feeling is with a desperation to find a princess to fill that void.

You just love it when the shows decides to give you a lore drop out of nowhere.

Man, the way he completely forgets what he's doing and is surprised by the tapes still gets me, it's just so sad.

When he’s surprised by the “gift” Finn and Jake give him, it reminds me so much of the last time I saw my great grandmother. It’s tough, and reframes every action before and after from an old incel to…
