Hai Guyz,
I hope no one minds me making a non-game thread, I don't feel like joining another forum just to talk about Adventure Time. I have some questions and theories about the show. Finn is a teen for most of the show. Princess Bubblegum, Ice King, and Marceline are all 900+ years old. Marcy doesn't introduce herself to Finn and Jake until he is 12/13. In the Pilot Episode, Fin and Jake "rescues" PBG, and the other princesses. After the first season, Ice King appears to be more of a benign nuisance than an actual threat to anyone. Because of this, I have a theory. PB could easily crush IK, but for multiple reasons choose not to. I think that she pretended to be kidnapped in order to build Finn's confidence. IK either went along with it, or was also a patsy(He is both easily manipulated and very forgetful). Another Question, when did PB meet Finn and Jake? PB must have known about the Islands with humans. Certainly after 900 years she would have at least sent scouts to see what was left of the world after the Mushroom Wars.

It's been a while since I caught up, but I remember that most of the older characters have an existing relationship that has only been gradually revealed to the audience.
Bubblegum is from Finn's era, apparently (she was aged down to 13 then back up to 19 again, and would presumably be about 24 now, accounting for the year she lost by aging backwards.)
Ice King used to know the world's true history, and occasionally we get glimpses through his flashbacks, but his insanity prevents him from connecting the past to the present.
Marcy remembers the world's true history, but she hides from it. For Marcy, the world's true history is trauma, and she believes she is best forgetting it and looking forward. Similarly, we get glimpses of the true history through her flashbacks, but she does not like confronting her own past.
Most of the show's bigger stories delve into cosmic ideas of mythology and religion, as well as some physics theories like "Many Worlds" and "String Theory." Adventure Time is constantly playing with "what ifs" and major upheavals that could occur if events play out slightly differently, or time travel interferes, or when things get really bad, people make irresponsible universe-changing wishes.
I've long found the background tragedy of the world's cataclysm to be one of the most compelling storylines of the show, but they haven't revealed much about how it occurred (at least where I am in the series.) The biggest question behind it all seems to be whether or not there is a "true" world line for Adventure Time, and the dimensional travel/history changing wishes deviate from that true world; or whether every version is the true version, and the point to life is that no matter what changes, be true to yourself. The show never commits to one answer or the other, but many episodes allude to the question.

So are you proposing that Princess Bubblegum is a pedophile?

At the very least, he seems to have some short term memory, especially when he says things like, "Finn is always Princess blocking me". Although when he sees Marcy he doesn't seem to remember anything. WHich makes me wonder why Marcy waited so long to introduce herself to Finn and Jake. adventuretime.wikia.com/wiki/The_Creeps In the above episode, Finn said something along the lines of "You are a lot older than 19". Although that would make PB younger than Marcy. Still, it makes me wonder how PB dealt with Ice King before Finn came along. That completely came out of Left field.
