I always found it so crazy how drastically Ooo changed 1000+ years in the future, it's kinda sad and disturbing seeing the huge colorful places in Ooo turning into colorless wastelands
It is sad in a way, but also beautiful at the same time. Although we still want Finn and Jake adventures, change is inevitable and I hope we get to see some Shermy and Beth adventures in the future.
let's go in the garden you'll find something waiting right there where you left it lying upside-down when you finally find it you'll see that it's faded the underside is lighter when you turn it around everything stays right where you left it everything stays but it still changes ever so slightly daily & nightly in little ways but everything stays
Its ironic since in the adventure time series we are basically watching the post apocalypse after the destruction of the world by nuclear weapons ( the mushroom war )
I would find it crazy if Ooo DIDN'T change in 1000 years. Think about how much changed in the last century. Still sad to see what it changed too. But at some point disaster is bound to happen. However the city we see, and the machines outside are candy themed. Even the jets you can see outside have peppermint symbols on them. It seems that the candy people went to war, and so intense that war was that they have entered hibernation in a prizeball guardian. It is clear though that the candy people began utilizing human technology, perhaps because gingerbread isn't a fantastic building material. This leaves humanity's ultimate fate completely unknown, they could be extinct, they might've merged with the people of Ooo, they might've ascended to a higher plane of existence (perhaps a new mode of existence ey?), they could be completely fine in some other region (maybe even space). I would hazard a guess that the creators have not planned that out, but if they do bring humanity back they would have evacuated Ooo due to climate change and crumbling resources.
Or even beyond the earth. We do know they have access to space-tech at that point. Might be most humans have just left earth and OOO for other planets and distant lands.
I have tons of theroies like this. One of my favorite was i believe there was a reincarnation of Finn and Jake before the 1000 year gap in which we got introduced the other reincarnation of Finn and Jake, Beth and Shermy. Also I'd like to point out that every reincarnation of finn generally had a purpose, the comet being welcoming a new era, the butterfly leading bubble gum to her brother, Shoko who was supposed to be a knight of bubble gum but got in with the wrong crowd, Finn, who was there to make up for Shoko's lack of loyalty, and now Shermmy. a fun creature that wants to do pranks and look at the bright side where the world is at it's darkest. Maybe the reincarnation was something peaceful like when Finn was a glop of slime, but who knows.
That’s a great theory, hang on lemme add to it. Remember when New Death decided to stop the bridge for souls to be reincarnated? What if time passed a little more quicker for Finn and Jake when they both reincarnated and their next forms are in fact Shermy and Beth? And because their reincarnations took so long it resulted in the way Ooo is now? A barren colorless dystopian wasteland with no hero to watch over it.
@@ed_Skynight I don't believe so! You see in the episode when Magic man was sent to trail for his crimes but decided to turn into jake, and vise versa, King of Mars went to the dead world to pick up Jake and return his soul in exchange for his own. Now let's put this into perspective and theorize that dead world moves so much slower than the alive one. for one thing it would be very symbolic due to the show's nature being about life lessons, and two, the King of Mars and Death and a conversation for about 10 to 20 seconds during his time in the dead world, but in live world, it was an instant flash were king of mars died, Glob was in shock, and jake came back in seconds. now we have no idea how long it took for king of mars to enter the dead world, however we knew that only the valkyrie can move between dead worlds, and the only entrance is down the escalator and being questioned by the gate keeper, so even if King of Mars can move through the worlds freely, it's highly unlikely that he can instant teleport to them, even then he had a conversation with death which took some time. now theorizing this, we can also deduce the fact that if time moves slowly in the dead world, since the bridge between life and death had newly appeared, Finn and Jake are the first ones in life for reincarnation. Now remember! In Finn and Jake are dead, new death did not ban reincarnation all together, in fact when Finn and Jake went to go see life she was still reincarnating new souls, it only burnt out when death finally got access to the 50th. also keep in mind that the candle used to see life was almost burnt out, with how tiny it is. now we can keep in mind if this is relevant or not considering the candle is completely magical and the flame is also magical. normal flame would have the candle wax melt between 15 to 10 min, however they only had a 3 min conversation with life, so either the candle burns really fast, or magical peppermint butler flame is too hot considering you can melt wax instantly depending on the heat. that's besides the point. but! since we've confirmed that during the mushroom war Finn has been through 3 reincarnation, and that's with nothing going wrong and things are moving as a normal, time moves slower than normal in the dead world, and Finn and Jake are the first ones in line to get reincarnated. It can be confirmed that they went through a reincarnation much earlier! than expected.
It shows that even without our main characters or casts, things that would happen happens, conflicts between civilizations, people still occurs. Just because the greatest threat to all life is vanquished doesn't mean that people will start to love each other, life goes on.
A show like that would be awsome, its like a documentary about a fictional world. The main characters change from episode to episode, we only see slices of life, but we still can get a picture of something bigger
Exactly, the land of Ooo likely had times of prosperity and dark times decades or even centuries after Finn and Jake likely passed on. Shermy and Beth lived in a bleak time of Ooo but were living their lives together and when Shermy picked up Finn’s sword it implies a new era for the land of Ooo: the beginning of the legendary hero/adventurer Shermy and Beth the princess pup.
The only reason I doubt the theory about a second war between humans and rainicorns is because just like Finn probably acted as a bridge between humans and candy people I'm pretty sure that Jake and Lady Rainicorn probably would've done something if a situation like that occurred. I also don't think that Princess Bubblegum's first instinct would be to go to war with the rainicorns to protect the humans considering her friendship with Lady Rainicorn even if they tried to attack them but she also wouldn't overlook the humans being in danger considering her friendship with Finn. I'm a bit more inclined to believe that it may have something to do with the weather changing into something dangerous due to the change in the magnetic poles of the earth after so much time. potentially causing natural dissasters and forcing Princess Bubblegum to create the Prize ball Guardian to protect everyone and with Jake's dog/alien/rainicorn hybrid descendants being the only ones able to survive naturally in that environment. And we can see that there's always a gloomy weather with what seems to be almost permanent rainclouds, so I think it would make sense for something like that to happen.
Yeah I see where you're coming from. I don't think Princess Bubblegum went to war with anybody. We see that the rainicorns have been at war in the past with the dogs, just those two parties. I think it was just a war between rainicorns and humans and Princess Bubblegum or any other third parties just couldn't do anything to avoid it. However, I do agree with you that the gloomy weather is a very obvious artistic choice, and the change in the magnetic poles could very well be possible.
@@stephonmanny7555 Once again, considering her connections with both humans and rainicorns I doubt princess bubblegum would go to war to defend or attack either of them. Regardless of them being alive or not. But she would've tried to stop them as a mediator.
@@paxw37 I'm not saying that she went to war with anyone. I'm saying that if she saw a war happening between humans and rainicorns she would've intervened to avoid it but without taking any sides.
I actually came up with the beginning of a story detailing the cause of this. Basically, the whole reason Ooo is this bright and colorful place is because it's being sustained by the planet's irradiated core; it's irradiated because of the nuclear war. At a certain point, the core's half-life comes to an end and it stops being radioactive; in essence, Ooo's magical heart stops beating and it starts returning to the blasted wasteland it was immediately after the war. I also introduced plot points like PB and Marceline traveling to an orbital station to continuously monitor Ooo's degradation and Simon Petrikov transferring his consciousness to AllMO's system to create a fused intelligence called S.P.A.C.E.M.A.N. (Simon Petrikov AllMO Cerebrally Entangled Mental Amalgamation Network), but that's not really important here.
Planet cores don't get irradiated during a nuclear war. Only the surface and atmosphere. Also, planets like earth already have natural radiation in their core due to uranium238 which is responsible for the molten core and the power source of the magnetic field.
I suppose desolate is a good word for how Ooo turned out but I always felt like it had a more... abandoned feel to it. So not so much something bad happened but just, everyone moved on and left that poor old used up world.
That’s what I thought too! I felt like ooo looking how it did was just another way of saying “time passes, things change, everything moves on.” It feels… almost peaceful
Something of note: in the intro, we see the former candy kingdom has a strange device blasting off from the ground on what looks like a tether or pole. That is a space elevator, a theoretical space launch device that would massively aid in the launching and returning of spaceships. We see it in use in the title, which means that at the very least there is at least automated space exploration happening. Maybe the inhabitants of Ooo found a better planet and are now living there instead? Also, with the future we see being 1000 years in the future, it’s also possible that the world is just running out of magic. I know the rules of magic within the canon of Adventure Time aren’t well known, but it would make sense that, if the current world is a result of the massive amount of magic set off by the Mushroom Bomb, it’s also possible that that magic would dissipate or be consumed over time.
I feel like what happened was that there was a great war between the humans and the inhabitants of Ooo. Idk what caused them to fight but it mustve been a diplomatic problem and it just got out of hand from there
@@paxw37 i mean, humans caused the mushroom war, so this seems like the most plausible theory. Humans did what they always have and tried to take over Ooo, only for all the inhabitents of Ooo going against that. Finn was the only thing stopping this war but after his death this scenario becomes a possibility. Also gives a reason why the candy people seem to be hibernating. PB put them there so that they would not be hurt in the war. Also, this could explain the weird inner circle of normal candy kindom and the human technology around it. Humans could have beaten PB, but eventually they were beaten by the doggocorn species(thats the name i give to the species that originated from jake and lady raincorn)
just realized something, the betty AI is still alive in the crown. meaning that she probably still has some influence over the ice thing and gibbon since both of them have part of the ice crown. or maybe even gibbon took control of AI betty and used her to make changes to the crown.
that means simon in some shape is still around not physically or spiritually but his memories are in the crowns circuitry still even tho its not him a bit of him is still in ooo 1000 years later
well since the dogs n' such kinda took over afterwards, this is just my guess its possible everything WAS "mostly okay" until finn had gone and died, but the many tensions between the seemingly innately magically powerful beings vs the technologically advanced humans(and probably magically restricted in many philosophical and psychological ways) so my thoughts are that, while the humans brought many real tangible technologies for everyone to use either it be because the inability or in-affinity the humans had to Ooo's crazier magic, the jake decedents(and probably other rainicorns too) would've likely just had only a slightly better understanding about the other side(and won out due to essentially attrition, which could even explain the desolateness of the future) it's just a theory, but I feel like it should be emphasized that even in the show, finn is rAther strange among HUMANS for having such great affinities to magical abilities and artifacts(I would attribute this to his direct isolation from human culture, but that is a little bit of the point already) no matter the lore explanation given between certain episodes, what we see is that "humans" in any timeline are considered the "normal not magical" equivalent of a multitude of things(including most especially the farm world timeline people, who I always thought were kinda weird) finn most often being the exception to this idea, the finn sword being I think the most egregious example, and even IN farm world he's the soul person to actually obtain access to and consistent use of the crown(heck even simon died in his use of it in this timeline)
You actually bring up a pretty good point. The idea that humans brought technology but struggled to understand Ooo's magic makes a lot of sense, and it's interesting to think that Jake's descendants and other magical beings might have gained an advantage from this. And also how Finn is a unique exception to how humans normally are perceived. We even see Finn in the episode "The Chamber of Frozen Blades" learn how to use magic.
@@paxw37 I think the rainacorn-dog-hybrids played a big part in the downfall. They grow up rapidly and all have incredibly powerfull magical abilities. They completely broke the Balance of power. (Imagin something like a tiny Island-nation turning into a global superpower over the course of 20 or so years, with nobody knowing who's side they are on) ontop of that, the entire Icekingdom basically got a new ruler. Something which hasn't happened in... well basically never... And we shouldn't forget that, when Iceking gave Gunther the crown to rebuild the icekingdom, he basically immediately used it to summon giant Snowserpants and when Gunther got his hands on the magic wishing eye, his first action was to take over EVERYTHING. So maybe not quite the guy who you want to put in charge of an entire kingdom. (We even see that the icekingdom is much bigger in the future, which might have also messed with the weather quite a lot. To top it all of, the humans have returned, bringing with them shiny new tech. The best way to end a civilisation is to give them some shiny new tech. Oh a machine that can turn black goo into power? Cool. Climat change? Never heared of it. AI that can solve all our problems for us? Yes please. What is a "Skynet"? Missiles that can win me a war at the press of a button. Of course I want some. Nuclear fallout? How bad could that possibly be? So now we have a rapidly changing geopolitical landscape, with things getting more and more tense as the rapidly changing climate forces nations to adapt, potentially causing conflicts over the limited resources of Ooo and everyone just got a pandoras box filled to the brimm with weapons of unimaginable massdeverstation. Btw something that definitely isn't to blame is the catalist comet, as it only hits earth every 1000 years and only 996 years have passed since the gum war.
I can’t get over not knowing how finn, and jake passed since their after life title card shows their skeletons together. It just sucks knowing Ooo is now a gloomy husk of something beautiful, almost represents growing up.
I fully blame Pb for the dystopian future. That girl loved messing around with other people’s lives and was too proud to admit when she messed up and refused wouldn’t fix it.
I get what your saying about PB, and while she wasn’t very good and messed up a lot, I fully believe she wasn’t the cause for all this. For one thing, we can pretty easily assume PB moved in with marceline in the distant future. (By looking into obsidian & how peppermint seems to be taking care of the castle) and she’s changed a lot since the past. She seems a lot less controlling & everything from what we can tell in obsidian and other areas. Plus, all of her growth throughout the series in general. She just isn’t this huge controlling dictator anymore. Plus, it really seems she’s just moved into a simpler life. After all of her progress, I don’t think she’d do something so bad that it would come to this. It would just like, erase all her growth. To be honest, peppermint could’ve caused more trouble than PB seeming as he’s likely in control of the candy kingdom now lol. Ill probably edit this nicer later, but it really does seem unlikely she could cause the dystopian future.
@@madeleine1052good point about Peppermint Butler. Who knows what kind of leader he was and what dark magic mess he made? Or it could’ve been something else.
Is it a wasteland though? Yeah it looks kind of bad between the Lemonhope returning episode and the Graybles, but we also know the final episode's framing device also takes place a thousand years in the future, the same time period. So we know between these, yes the Candy Kingdom is gone *with all its citizens living in a giant gumball guardian*, which the new duo tries to trip, we see forests and such as Sweet Pea as a giant in the future is walking through. Marceline's cave house is still there, and BMO is still around and going by the King of Ooo title. There is a dog kingdom, which looks to primarily be the descendants of Jake. Looks like his alien eldritch physiology had a permanent impact on the genetics of this line forming their own species. But honestly given the badlands of the main series OOo it seems most their world was already desolate and Bubblegum was the one mainly behind terraforming the badlands into new *food themed* kingdoms. But she stopped doing that. So let this mutated world follow its course, chances are like the dogs, the humans ended up intermarrying with mutants and a thousand years later there are no more humans because they mixed with more magical and weird species to make new species. Or some could have left Earth as we saw others did in the past like the humans who became the "elves" in deep space.
That is true, you bring up a good point. There are just very obviously different color palettes used in the main series compared to how we see Ooo in the future. Those colors being a lot more mute and de-saturated
There’s plenty of possibilities and theories to come up with but it’s likely the land of Ooo went through periods of prosperity and then dark times but once again rebuilt from the ashes. Even though Shermy and Beth lived in a bleak, dystopian future of Ooo it didn’t bring them down and when Shermy picked up Finn’s sword, it showcases a new chapter for the land of Ooo.
tbh i always believed that when the humans came to Ooo that atleast a good portion of them merged with the candy kingdom (thus leading the kingdom to look more like a human civilization) and I think PB would be okay with that because of how much finn meant to her and to honor him(plus i dont think she would complain about all the tech they would be bringing), and Marceline would probs be down for that as well since they are dating and as seen in stakes Marceline used to be the only protector of the humans and is most likely the only reason they still exist at this point. I'm not 100% sure why the land of Ooo changed in the way it did tho, it could of been the catalyst comet but that appears every 1000 years and the events land of Ooo we see occurs 1000 years in the future which means comet would of impacted recently or is going to impact Ooo later that year. I'm not sure how quickly the comet can change the ecosystem of a planet tbh but i dont think its impossible given the power its suppose to have. It could be that the reason why the candy kingdom was abandoned was because of the comet and the fear of what the change could bring or it was for some other reason I dont think it could of been a war or anything involving the humans since they would of kept the kingdom if it was and they won. I think whatever occurred that made PB abandon the Candy kingdom and put em in guardian probably also caused the humans to flee, they could of gone back to the islands or maybe even space and decided to join the peeps on Mars who knows, hell some of the humans might of even stayed on the hub islands initially tbf. I wouldnt be surprise if they left Ooo again because it got to dangerous especially if Minerva is still around and how protective she is. I'm honestly think they straight up left Ooo and earth entirely to find somewhere new to live, Ooo might be to crazy to keep hanging out in lol
Yeah, you bring up some good points. And you're probably right, they probably did just end up leaving. Either to space or back to the Hub Islands. Because we've seen them do that before like you say.
There's so many cataclysmic threats in adventure time that it could have been a million different things that sent ooo into the apocalyptic state we see it as in the future. Could have also been a combination of them too. Personally I think Finn probably managed to keep the peace for a while but eventually he either died somehow, or couldn't be in two places at once and time moved on.
Honestly I like to think that humans decided to go colonize space I mean a copy of Minerva could have acted as a guide and helped humans spread out among the stars
Imagine, tho, all the fanfics that this ending can lead to... All the future incarnations of fin and jake, their adventure, the changed of Ooo, new characters and maybe old ones. This is gold for fanfic and self inserts, Fionna and Cake is a grain of sand compared to the shear amount of possibilities. And. I. Love. It
I always had a different theory. Ooo always looked like that, but in the main series we saw everything from the eyes of Finn, a kid, who was filtering it all
Here's what I think. I think that Ooo. (Earth) was not able to fully recover from the mushroom war which tore a giant chunk of Earth, and the last couple thousand years Earth (Ooo) Slowly is dying. From a natural shut down after being terminally damaged. So what we are seeing is the later stages as the world slowly dies due to simply being unable to retain heat and or the ability to keep living life.
I remember watching the lemon hole end sequence and thinking how sad it was, maybe uncle gumbald somehow came back and made the candy kingdom into a capitalist nightmare and as her last act before chaos, princess bubblegum made prize all guardian and saved her people but shermy and Beth think uncle gumbald captured the candy people and that’s why there trying to stop it
It is so fittingly an depressingly Adventure Time to go out on this massive victory, only to end with this almost nihilistic greyness as the conclusion. It would also be fittingly Adventure Time to find out that everyone just took a trip to this world's equivalent of New Zealand, and we just showed up on a rainy day. It is weird to think that there are such distinctly empty pockets of the world, but AT's lore is so energetic and lively that I can't imagine how it could shift so drastically, even after a millenium. As an example, I highly doubt that Lumpy Space or the Nightosphere have gone dark.
man i had to rewatch this several times for the commentary alone, your lingo totally matches how many of the characters (the cool ones at least) talk within the world of AT, really cool.
Seeing this city with human technologies, I can definitely conclude that humans had a peaceful life for long enough to at least build a livable and comfortable society of their own. That gives me some joy and hopes that humans are still somewhere out there. Perhaps they moved somewhere or even went to space. I really want to believe
A big human city is in the place of the Candy Kingdom so I assume that humans lived in the Candy Kingdom and all of the Candy Kingdom residence are in the giant gumball Guardian now so there is a chance humans could be there too and I agree with you a big event must have happened for Princess Bubblegum to put everyone in a giant Guardian and the City to get destroyed maybe it's still going on because we see slime and Fire Kingdom fighting in the intro and I don't think humans are completely gone first they have Finn's mom that is a super smart AI all of the technology of the humans and we see humans are quite resilient in Adventure Time like the mutant fish people that Susan used to live with so maybe they are out there just hiding
Yeah this could be the case. I think someone pointed out that humans have a past of fleeing from chaos, like the original humans who went to the islands after fleeing from Ooo. So it's very possible that they are there again, or on some different island.
I’ve always been of the opinions that just because we don’t see the humans or other species in the time skip doesn’t necessarily mean that they’re extinct. In a world like adventure time which has has countless dimensions, planets, and planes of existence, I wouldn’t be surprised if the inhabitants of Ooo were simply forced (or chose to) leave and find greener pastures
yeah I think many of them fled to space/other worlds; cubert stays in space, there are a lot of pup ppl in space (including what looks like a shuttle thing to take them up in the finale intro), shermy and beth talk to an alien princess, etc. I think whatever happened might not have killed everyone but drove most of them away--everything looks more abandoned than destroyed to me. sounds like a whack idea, but a lot of humans would totally run to space if they could / felt like they should
If i had to guess, it probably has to do with how Gunter(New Ice King) is rapidly changing the ecosystem. It seems like OOO is heading in a pre-stage ice age, the pup kingdom also seems to expanding and domianting the lands, with gideon repressing all the new pups power. Princess bubblegums kingdom giant prize gumball guardian seems to have put all the candy people in suspended animation and got taken by gunter. It would be interesting to see the new adventure time series set in this time and see how it will be restored by our new protagnists adventures.
@@paxw37 for sure. Ive seen harsher settings with a thriving human populace. Very possible some made a return to the islands as things got worse because, well, they had a good life there.
Could be that Humanity was already in the stars or are the next inhabitants of mars. As that was the only other place left to them to go. Also the 1000 year time skip reminds me of the All tomorrows scenario.
i dont even think its necesairy for something big or drastic to have happened. sure the cities are ruins but they couldve just been left and people moved on to living on different places as technology progressed, probably some minor "big events" happened here and there but nothing like the mushroom war or golb. BMO even considered the end of the golb situation "the end of ooo" more or less, and while it is BMO, it could also show that the biggest chaos and danger was over
Sweet Pea was literally the Lich though right? He's still around, and look normal enough, so I doubt the Lich had anything to do with the world being what it is
As much as I love theories about adventure time, ESPECIALLY about the future of Ooo, there are a ton of important things to keep in mind: 1: We don't have any evidence of any creature being extinct, as any creature we don't see on Ooo could be in space. 2: Shermy and Beth being reincarnations of Finn and Jake was directly confirmed by the creators. 3: Ooo is a continent, and at the end of the day, all we've really seen so far is one or two nations and the surrounding area, and the surrounding area being desolate isn't too weird. Most importantly, 4: Rainicorns and Dogs are at peace now, and dogs are at peace with humans. A war breaking out because the Rainicorns wanna eat humans would be like a war breaking out because the humans want to eat the candy people. In the world of adventure time, people are totally okay with living alongside edible creatures with very little issue, and things aren't gonna change just cause there are more of them. It seems more likely to me that there isn't anything significantly apocalyptic going on, and people just decided to leave Earth because they went "hold up a quick second. Why tf are we willingly living on a rock that gets hit by a huge comet every 1000 years when we have access to the whole solar system?", and like humans always do, they left to somewhere safer when things got crazy.
The Ooo is rebuilding and will be destroying all humans in the new series called “The New Adventures Times of Epic!” Coming out in 2025 and will be the most family friendly show ever with a single fight scene toward the end and everyone will die in the finale it will be epic!
but im confused because remember that one episode when tree trunks was like ok my alien husband will find your candy kingdom a planet to live on in the future if anything bad happens. so why was the big gumball guardian carrying them all in his head? why is the candy kingdom abandoned AND WHY IS PRINCESS BUBBLEGUM A STATUE? DID SHE DIE OR IS THAT JUST TO REMEMBER HER BECAUSE SHES LIVING WITH MARCIE NOW WHATTT
maybe it's because some sort of a disaster not a comet because everything is still intact mostly. Maybe it was an apocalypse think about it the candy kingdom is still intact, but it's abandoned, and the tree is just dead plus the outside is a city that's destroyed and there's no humans whatsoever and we can see that the city ruins have been broken by something or someone and maybe because of the event it caused the gloominess.
I always feel this future is the idealistic future of the lich, almost no life at all just a quiet world. As the lich is the inevitable But with the ending showing the future reincarnations of Finn and jake I believe there is hope for ooo
It wouldn't suprise me if the ice thing ended up starting an ice age after the library turtle passed on, which resulted in PB making the mega guardian as a time capusle type thing to protect all her citizens (it probably even houses her) leaving the humans to fend for themselves. Jakes Children were probably fine for the most part, implementing human tech with their ability to rapidly reproduce (which explains the weird space varients, mass produced as expandable defence force), losing a few thousand over the years due to the ice age would be a loss they could handle. With humans being on the brink of extinction, they could not afford to lose a single human and most likely fled back to the island, leaving behind the new cities they have created. Finn and Jake most likely passed away long before this, which could easily explain her lack of helping humans in such dire times, she was more focused on protecting her own and without Finn, the humans weren't really her problem to deal with.
I don’t think it was because of the Feud between humans and rainicorns that this happened. I think it’s because of humans, greed and pollution that caused this like in the first place.
My theory is that humans eventually settled in Ooo then as years passed they started working with the candy people to build more human buildings/structures using concrete instead of candy. Of course humans aren’t perfect so i feel like the human might have wanted to take over the candy kingdom which led to a major war.
what you said about the catalyst comet i actually think the opposite because the purple one we see in i believe season 7 finale with orgolorg didn't hit earth not shaking anything up potentially throwing the eco systems of the planet out of whack or it could just be a simple war the boring possibility
Humans so frail that they isolated themselves in an island that are so used to many years without the threat of survival. Now like reintroducing a defenseless creature into an unfamiliar environment with many many creatures already adapted in said environment with combat and magic, how will the new comers adapt? The only strong thing protecting them is probably Finn's existence since he's the bridge between the species of Oooo and the humans. Now what if he died and time erodes history that newer generation only knows him as a tale? I do hope some humans stayed in the island and ensure the survival of humanity.
I mean that's a possibility. But we do see Shermy and Beth riding Sweet P in the intro, so I don't think he's bad. But you're right, maybe the Lich possessed him again.
Yeah, it's from the series finale "Come Along With Me". We can see Sweet P at the end when Shermy and Beth leave BMO's house, but we can also seem him in the new intro sequence with Shermy and Beth. There's a shot of them riding Sweet P.
@@paxw37 right right it's from the series finale I forgot. I just kind of relate to him he was born out of evil then bullied and called a weird baby man and then glowed up to be an awesome giant ^_^
@@infinitestare Right? His character looks so cool! I hope we get to see more of giant Sweet P in the future. Maybe in the Fionna and Cake series, who knows.
Everybody’s talking like things went bad as soon the credits rolled, like y’all it was A THOUSAND YEARS, do you guys not know how much time that is? 😭 We’ve had CARS for like a hundred years, if the Humans and Bubble Gum’s forces have modern technology, and everybody else has some type of magic, of course something is bound to go wrong in a THOUSAND YEARS. Side note: Cars were invented in 1885, 1908 was the rise of revolutionary models, and the 1920’s was the popularization of the automobile. The nuke was invented and officially worked on July 16th, 1945. That’s just 60 years from figuring out how cars work to creating world destroyers. Of course in a thousand years things are going to go wrong, nothing stays the same.
There was a shot of a traveler with red boots appearing to be Marceline finding something and an ice prison with pinkish hands I bet it's bubblegum even after years it still bothers me
It looks like ooo is about to slip into a pretty gnarly ice age or maybe a super volcano erupted and the temperature is about to drop significantly making the surface uninhabitable for awhile hence why the candy citizens are in stasis maybe PB or her successor decided the candy people need to sleep through whatever is about to come
My theory is that the humans, with much more space to expand, broke into factions and waged war on each other. The other residents of ooo tried to stop the fight and inadvertently turned the human’s against them. After a long drawn out conflict the humans were wiped out. The residents of ooo seem to be really good and peaceful people, unlike humans
I thought that the show adventure time was told from the perspective of Bemo so everything has a colorful spin on it until we get someone else's perspective.
There is also a lot of space, in space. Id wager most of the people left for space. Heck there is a space elevator built into the Candy Kingdom now. Would you wanna build civilisations future on a planet with 30% of it being a giant hole into space?
Both of these theories are pretty solid! I'm leaning more to the war scenario as much of the physical topography seems pretty much intact, which is what a kinetic, conventional, high tech war aftermath would look like. I believe the comet would've disfigured, perhaps permanently, the already severely damaged planet's ability to remain intact with a breathable atmosphere, etc,. Ooo would probably be in big chunks at best, and an asteroid belt at worse
yup, probably a catalyst comet. makes sense with a catalyst comet happening every 1k years, everything is destroyed and the candy kingdom is sheltering in that big gumball guardian lookin thing
it does feel like a pretty pb move to reject the change the comet will bring if it means the death of her people possibly building the guardian as a way to keep them safe and also look for a new habitabal place for her subjects to live in patience did survive the previous comit by freezing herself (and it could have happened again since we see her still frozen in the intro) so it wouldn't be completely unbelievable that pb managed to build something that effectively does the same thing
It cant have been a catalyst comet, they only hit earth once every 1000 years which means that it must have only hit a couple years before shermy and beth, i think what happened is what always happens to humanity, war, what if the candy people and humans had a war that resulted in a mushroom bomb type event
I always found it so crazy how drastically Ooo changed 1000+ years in the future, it's kinda sad and disturbing seeing the huge colorful places in Ooo turning into colorless wastelands
It is sad in a way, but also beautiful at the same time. Although we still want Finn and Jake adventures, change is inevitable and I hope we get to see some Shermy and Beth adventures in the future.
let's go in the garden you'll find something waiting right there where you left it lying upside-down when you finally find it you'll see that it's faded the underside is lighter when you turn it around everything stays right where you left it everything stays but it still changes ever so slightly daily & nightly in little ways but everything stays
Ooo WAS a colorless wasteland. Throughout the show, we witness several ruined human settlements from a catastrophic event.
Its ironic since in the adventure time series we are basically watching the post apocalypse after the destruction of the world by nuclear weapons ( the mushroom war )
I would find it crazy if Ooo DIDN'T change in 1000 years. Think about how much changed in the last century.
Still sad to see what it changed too. But at some point disaster is bound to happen.
However the city we see, and the machines outside are candy themed. Even the jets you can see outside have peppermint symbols on them. It seems that the candy people went to war, and so intense that war was that they have entered hibernation in a prizeball guardian. It is clear though that the candy people began utilizing human technology, perhaps because gingerbread isn't a fantastic building material.
This leaves humanity's ultimate fate completely unknown, they could be extinct, they might've merged with the people of Ooo, they might've ascended to a higher plane of existence (perhaps a new mode of existence ey?), they could be completely fine in some other region (maybe even space). I would hazard a guess that the creators have not planned that out, but if they do bring humanity back they would have evacuated Ooo due to climate change and crumbling resources.
We don't know that humans went extinct. There are probably still viable populations somewhere on earth, just like when Finn thought he was alone.
Or even beyond the earth. We do know they have access to space-tech at that point.
Might be most humans have just left earth and OOO for other planets and distant lands.
Yeah. After all, the candy citizens seem gone too but they’re just in stasis.
The king of mars looks like a human so maybe the humans on mars evolved to the point where they forgot their own history.
@@fallatiuso Maybe they had the help of Moe, who’s consciousness was sent into space.
I have tons of theroies like this. One of my favorite was i believe there was a reincarnation of Finn and Jake before the 1000 year gap in which we got introduced the other reincarnation of Finn and Jake, Beth and Shermy. Also I'd like to point out that every reincarnation of finn generally had a purpose, the comet being welcoming a new era, the butterfly leading bubble gum to her brother, Shoko who was supposed to be a knight of bubble gum but got in with the wrong crowd, Finn, who was there to make up for Shoko's lack of loyalty, and now Shermmy. a fun creature that wants to do pranks and look at the bright side where the world is at it's darkest. Maybe the reincarnation was something peaceful like when Finn was a glop of slime, but who knows.
You make a really good point. I didn't even realize that a butterfly led bubble gum to her brother, but you're right. That's a great connection!
Really good theory
Shermy is definitely a peaceful and fun reincarnation rather than it being a world saving one i would assume
That’s a great theory, hang on lemme add to it. Remember when New Death decided to stop the bridge for souls to be reincarnated? What if time passed a little more quicker for Finn and Jake when they both reincarnated and their next forms are in fact Shermy and Beth? And because their reincarnations took so long it resulted in the way Ooo is now? A barren colorless dystopian wasteland with no hero to watch over it.
@@ed_Skynight I don't believe so! You see in the episode when Magic man was sent to trail for his crimes but decided to turn into jake, and vise versa, King of Mars went to the dead world to pick up Jake and return his soul in exchange for his own. Now let's put this into perspective and theorize that dead world moves so much slower than the alive one. for one thing it would be very symbolic due to the show's nature being about life lessons, and two, the King of Mars and Death and a conversation for about 10 to 20 seconds during his time in the dead world, but in live world, it was an instant flash were king of mars died, Glob was in shock, and jake came back in seconds. now we have no idea how long it took for king of mars to enter the dead world, however we knew that only the valkyrie can move between dead worlds, and the only entrance is down the escalator and being questioned by the gate keeper, so even if King of Mars can move through the worlds freely, it's highly unlikely that he can instant teleport to them, even then he had a conversation with death which took some time. now theorizing this, we can also deduce the fact that if time moves slowly in the dead world, since the bridge between life and death had newly appeared, Finn and Jake are the first ones in life for reincarnation. Now remember! In Finn and Jake are dead, new death did not ban reincarnation all together, in fact when Finn and Jake went to go see life she was still reincarnating new souls, it only burnt out when death finally got access to the 50th. also keep in mind that the candle used to see life was almost burnt out, with how tiny it is. now we can keep in mind if this is relevant or not considering the candle is completely magical and the flame is also magical. normal flame would have the candle wax melt between 15 to 10 min, however they only had a 3 min conversation with life, so either the candle burns really fast, or magical peppermint butler flame is too hot considering you can melt wax instantly depending on the heat. that's besides the point. but! since we've confirmed that during the mushroom war Finn has been through 3 reincarnation, and that's with nothing going wrong and things are moving as a normal, time moves slower than normal in the dead world, and Finn and Jake are the first ones in line to get reincarnated. It can be confirmed that they went through a reincarnation much earlier! than expected.
It shows that even without our main characters or casts, things that would happen happens, conflicts between civilizations, people still occurs.
Just because the greatest threat to all life is vanquished doesn't mean that people will start to love each other, life goes on.
Very well said
A show like that would be awsome, its like a documentary about a fictional world. The main characters change from episode to episode, we only see slices of life, but we still can get a picture of something bigger
Exactly, the land of Ooo likely had times of prosperity and dark times decades or even centuries after Finn and Jake likely passed on. Shermy and Beth lived in a bleak time of Ooo but were living their lives together and when Shermy picked up Finn’s sword it implies a new era for the land of Ooo: the beginning of the legendary hero/adventurer Shermy and Beth the princess pup.
The only reason I doubt the theory about a second war between humans and rainicorns is because just like Finn probably acted as a bridge between humans and candy people I'm pretty sure that Jake and Lady Rainicorn probably would've done something if a situation like that occurred. I also don't think that Princess Bubblegum's first instinct would be to go to war with the rainicorns to protect the humans considering her friendship with Lady Rainicorn even if they tried to attack them but she also wouldn't overlook the humans being in danger considering her friendship with Finn.
I'm a bit more inclined to believe that it may have something to do with the weather changing into something dangerous due to the change in the magnetic poles of the earth after so much time. potentially causing natural dissasters and forcing Princess Bubblegum to create the Prize ball Guardian to protect everyone and with Jake's dog/alien/rainicorn hybrid descendants being the only ones able to survive naturally in that environment. And we can see that there's always a gloomy weather with what seems to be almost permanent rainclouds, so I think it would make sense for something like that to happen.
Yeah I see where you're coming from. I don't think Princess Bubblegum went to war with anybody. We see that the rainicorns have been at war in the past with the dogs, just those two parties. I think it was just a war between rainicorns and humans and Princess Bubblegum or any other third parties just couldn't do anything to avoid it. However, I do agree with you that the gloomy weather is a very obvious artistic choice, and the change in the magnetic poles could very well be possible.
The Ice-Thing's regression into a flying beard monster was probably related to this.
It could have happened after they died.
@@stephonmanny7555
Once again, considering her connections with both humans and rainicorns I doubt princess bubblegum would go to war to defend or attack either of them. Regardless of them being alive or not. But she would've tried to stop them as a mediator.
@@paxw37
I'm not saying that she went to war with anyone. I'm saying that if she saw a war happening between humans and rainicorns she would've intervened to avoid it but without taking any sides.
I actually came up with the beginning of a story detailing the cause of this. Basically, the whole reason Ooo is this bright and colorful place is because it's being sustained by the planet's irradiated core; it's irradiated because of the nuclear war. At a certain point, the core's half-life comes to an end and it stops being radioactive; in essence, Ooo's magical heart stops beating and it starts returning to the blasted wasteland it was immediately after the war.
I also introduced plot points like PB and Marceline traveling to an orbital station to continuously monitor Ooo's degradation and Simon Petrikov transferring his consciousness to AllMO's system to create a fused intelligence called S.P.A.C.E.M.A.N. (Simon Petrikov AllMO Cerebrally Entangled Mental Amalgamation Network), but that's not really important here.
Planet cores don't get irradiated during a nuclear war. Only the surface and atmosphere. Also, planets like earth already have natural radiation in their core due to uranium238 which is responsible for the molten core and the power source of the magnetic field.
I suppose desolate is a good word for how Ooo turned out but I always felt like it had a more... abandoned feel to it. So not so much something bad happened but just, everyone moved on and left that poor old used up world.
That’s what I thought too! I felt like ooo looking how it did was just another way of saying “time passes, things change, everything moves on.” It feels… almost peaceful
@@TheMetastasia I always forget that there’s space travel in adventure time! But you’re right that that’s a possibility
@@sammy-the-haze Everything stays, but it still changes
Honestly I would kind of love a spin-off spiritual successor to Adventure Time starring Sherme and Beth
but that would be a LITERAL successor?
YES JUSTICE FOR SHERMY AND BETH They deserve there own show
That, and one that takes place during the mushroom war, as apart from the bomb itself we know nearly nothing about it
@@natebenham9603 true we basically only know Marcline and Simon lived through it with mutants and radioactive zombies everywhere
@@natebenham9603 yess and it could be about what happened to the humans and their struggles or about marcie and simons experience
AT is my comfort show. I love it so much. Once they come out with more or a spin off I'm gonna cry happy tears.
Same. I can't wait till the Fionna and Cake series comes out.
It sucks knowing the magic from the first show can’t be remade, but I have full confidence in a spin-off.
Something of note: in the intro, we see the former candy kingdom has a strange device blasting off from the ground on what looks like a tether or pole. That is a space elevator, a theoretical space launch device that would massively aid in the launching and returning of spaceships. We see it in use in the title, which means that at the very least there is at least automated space exploration happening. Maybe the inhabitants of Ooo found a better planet and are now living there instead?
Also, with the future we see being 1000 years in the future, it’s also possible that the world is just running out of magic. I know the rules of magic within the canon of Adventure Time aren’t well known, but it would make sense that, if the current world is a result of the massive amount of magic set off by the Mushroom Bomb, it’s also possible that that magic would dissipate or be consumed over time.
Yeah that's true. We even see a space pup wedding in the Graybles 1000+ episode. So it seems space travel is very possible at this time
no more radiation around at the cost of magic, what a shame
I feel like what happened was that there was a great war between the humans and the inhabitants of Ooo. Idk what caused them to fight but it mustve been a diplomatic problem and it just got out of hand from there
I agree
@@paxw37 i mean, humans caused the mushroom war, so this seems like the most plausible theory. Humans did what they always have and tried to take over Ooo, only for all the inhabitents of Ooo going against that. Finn was the only thing stopping this war but after his death this scenario becomes a possibility. Also gives a reason why the candy people seem to be hibernating. PB put them there so that they would not be hurt in the war. Also, this could explain the weird inner circle of normal candy kindom and the human technology around it. Humans could have beaten PB, but eventually they were beaten by the doggocorn species(thats the name i give to the species that originated from jake and lady raincorn)
just realized something, the betty AI is still alive in the crown. meaning that she probably still has some influence over the ice thing and gibbon since both of them have part of the ice crown.
or maybe even gibbon took control of AI betty and used her to make changes to the crown.
Good point, I didn't even realize that.
that means simon in some shape is still around not physically or spiritually but his memories are in the crowns circuitry still even tho its not him a bit of him is still in ooo 1000 years later
well since the dogs n' such kinda took over afterwards, this is just my guess
its possible everything WAS "mostly okay" until finn had gone and died, but the many tensions between the seemingly innately magically powerful beings vs the technologically advanced humans(and probably magically restricted in many philosophical and psychological ways)
so my thoughts are that, while the humans brought many real tangible technologies for everyone to use
either it be because the inability or in-affinity the humans had to Ooo's crazier magic, the jake decedents(and probably other rainicorns too) would've likely just had only a slightly better understanding about the other side(and won out due to essentially attrition, which could even explain the desolateness of the future)
it's just a theory, but I feel like it should be emphasized that even in the show, finn is rAther strange among HUMANS for having such great affinities to magical abilities and artifacts(I would attribute this to his direct isolation from human culture, but that is a little bit of the point already)
no matter the lore explanation given between certain episodes, what we see is that "humans" in any timeline are considered the "normal not magical" equivalent of a multitude of things(including most especially the farm world timeline people, who I always thought were kinda weird)
finn most often being the exception to this idea, the finn sword being I think the most egregious example, and even IN farm world he's the soul person to actually obtain access to and consistent use of the crown(heck even simon died in his use of it in this timeline)
You actually bring up a pretty good point. The idea that humans brought technology but struggled to understand Ooo's magic makes a lot of sense, and it's interesting to think that Jake's descendants and other magical beings might have gained an advantage from this. And also how Finn is a unique exception to how humans normally are perceived. We even see Finn in the episode "The Chamber of Frozen Blades" learn how to use magic.
@@paxw37 I think the rainacorn-dog-hybrids played a big part in the downfall. They grow up rapidly and all have incredibly powerfull magical abilities. They completely broke the Balance of power. (Imagin something like a tiny Island-nation turning into a global superpower over the course of 20 or so years, with nobody knowing who's side they are on) ontop of that, the entire Icekingdom basically got a new ruler. Something which hasn't happened in... well basically never...
And we shouldn't forget that, when Iceking gave Gunther the crown to rebuild the icekingdom, he basically immediately used it to summon giant Snowserpants and when Gunther got his hands on the magic wishing eye, his first action was to take over EVERYTHING. So maybe not quite the guy who you want to put in charge of an entire kingdom. (We even see that the icekingdom is much bigger in the future, which might have also messed with the weather quite a lot. To top it all of, the humans have returned, bringing with them shiny new tech. The best way to end a civilisation is to give them some shiny new tech. Oh a machine that can turn black goo into power? Cool. Climat change? Never heared of it.
AI that can solve all our problems for us? Yes please. What is a "Skynet"?
Missiles that can win me a war at the press of a button. Of course I want some. Nuclear fallout? How bad could that possibly be?
So now we have a rapidly changing geopolitical landscape, with things getting more and more tense as the rapidly changing climate forces nations to adapt, potentially causing conflicts over the limited resources of Ooo and everyone just got a pandoras box filled to the brimm with weapons of unimaginable massdeverstation.
Btw something that definitely isn't to blame is the catalist comet, as it only hits earth every 1000 years and only 996 years have passed since the gum war.
I can’t get over not knowing how finn, and jake passed since their after life title card shows their skeletons together. It just sucks knowing Ooo is now a gloomy husk of something beautiful, almost represents growing up.
Human back, Mushroom war again. Easy.
My Theory that humans decided to move to space instead of living on earth, and far in the future events of bravest warriors and such
That could be true. I always wondered if those two universes were connected.
I fully blame Pb for the dystopian future. That girl loved messing around with other people’s lives and was too proud to admit when she messed up and refused wouldn’t fix it.
I get what your saying about PB, and while she wasn’t very good and messed up a lot, I fully believe she wasn’t the cause for all this. For one thing, we can pretty easily assume PB moved in with marceline in the distant future. (By looking into obsidian & how peppermint seems to be taking care of the castle)
and she’s changed a lot since the past. She seems a lot less controlling & everything from what we can tell in obsidian and other areas. Plus, all of her growth throughout the series in general. She just isn’t this huge controlling dictator anymore. Plus, it really seems she’s just moved into a simpler life. After all of her progress, I don’t think she’d do something so bad that it would come to this. It would just like, erase all her growth. To be honest, peppermint could’ve caused more trouble than PB seeming as he’s likely in control of the candy kingdom now lol. Ill probably edit this nicer later, but it really does seem unlikely she could cause the dystopian future.
@@madeleine1052good point about Peppermint Butler. Who knows what kind of leader he was and what dark magic mess he made? Or it could’ve been something else.
Is it a wasteland though? Yeah it looks kind of bad between the Lemonhope returning episode and the Graybles, but we also know the final episode's framing device also takes place a thousand years in the future, the same time period. So we know between these, yes the Candy Kingdom is gone *with all its citizens living in a giant gumball guardian*, which the new duo tries to trip, we see forests and such as Sweet Pea as a giant in the future is walking through. Marceline's cave house is still there, and BMO is still around and going by the King of Ooo title. There is a dog kingdom, which looks to primarily be the descendants of Jake. Looks like his alien eldritch physiology had a permanent impact on the genetics of this line forming their own species. But honestly given the badlands of the main series OOo it seems most their world was already desolate and Bubblegum was the one mainly behind terraforming the badlands into new *food themed* kingdoms. But she stopped doing that. So let this mutated world follow its course, chances are like the dogs, the humans ended up intermarrying with mutants and a thousand years later there are no more humans because they mixed with more magical and weird species to make new species. Or some could have left Earth as we saw others did in the past like the humans who became the "elves" in deep space.
That is true, you bring up a good point. There are just very obviously different color palettes used in the main series compared to how we see Ooo in the future. Those colors being a lot more mute and de-saturated
There’s plenty of possibilities and theories to come up with but it’s likely the land of Ooo went through periods of prosperity and then dark times but once again rebuilt from the ashes. Even though Shermy and Beth lived in a bleak, dystopian future of Ooo it didn’t bring them down and when Shermy picked up Finn’s sword, it showcases a new chapter for the land of Ooo.
tbh i always believed that when the humans came to Ooo that atleast a good portion of them merged with the candy kingdom (thus leading the kingdom to look more like a human civilization) and I think PB would be okay with that because of how much finn meant to her and to honor him(plus i dont think she would complain about all the tech they would be bringing), and Marceline would probs be down for that as well since they are dating and as seen in stakes Marceline used to be the only protector of the humans and is most likely the only reason they still exist at this point. I'm not 100% sure why the land of Ooo changed in the way it did tho, it could of been the catalyst comet but that appears every 1000 years and the events land of Ooo we see occurs 1000 years in the future which means comet would of impacted recently or is going to impact Ooo later that year. I'm not sure how quickly the comet can change the ecosystem of a planet tbh but i dont think its impossible given the power its suppose to have. It could be that the reason why the candy kingdom was abandoned was because of the comet and the fear of what the change could bring or it was for some other reason I dont think it could of been a war or anything involving the humans since they would of kept the kingdom if it was and they won. I think whatever occurred that made PB abandon the Candy kingdom and put em in guardian probably also caused the humans to flee, they could of gone back to the islands or maybe even space and decided to join the peeps on Mars who knows, hell some of the humans might of even stayed on the hub islands initially tbf. I wouldnt be surprise if they left Ooo again because it got to dangerous especially if Minerva is still around and how protective she is. I'm honestly think they straight up left Ooo and earth entirely to find somewhere new to live, Ooo might be to crazy to keep hanging out in lol
Yeah, you bring up some good points. And you're probably right, they probably did just end up leaving. Either to space or back to the Hub Islands. Because we've seen them do that before like you say.
There's so many cataclysmic threats in adventure time that it could have been a million different things that sent ooo into the apocalyptic state we see it as in the future. Could have also been a combination of them too. Personally I think Finn probably managed to keep the peace for a while but eventually he either died somehow, or couldn't be in two places at once and time moved on.
Yeah, I agree.
"What happened with Ooo?"
They didn't juju on that beat 😞
Great video man! Super concise, and well put together. 11/10 :)
Thank you so much! I really appreciate it!
when finn and jake died the world crumbled till the 1000 year gap where he's reincarnarted as shermmy just having fun with jakes reincarnation beth
MAN, its tough for the youtube community of adventure time since so many videos on it block the comments
Honestly I like to think that humans decided to go colonize space I mean a copy of Minerva could have acted as a guide and helped humans spread out among the stars
Yeah that's true. And if you think about, it's pretty hard for Minerva to die now
Imagine, tho, all the fanfics that this ending can lead to... All the future incarnations of fin and jake, their adventure, the changed of Ooo, new characters and maybe old ones. This is gold for fanfic and self inserts, Fionna and Cake is a grain of sand compared to the shear amount of possibilities. And. I. Love. It
I always had a different theory.
Ooo always looked like that, but in the main series we saw everything from the eyes of Finn, a kid, who was filtering it all
That's interesting. Could be. I wish we got more episodes of the future of Ooo
Here's what I think. I think that Ooo. (Earth) was not able to fully recover from the mushroom war which tore a giant chunk of Earth, and the last couple thousand years Earth (Ooo) Slowly is dying.
From a natural shut down after being terminally damaged. So what we are seeing is the later stages as the world slowly dies due to simply being unable to retain heat and or the ability to keep living life.
Yeah, that very well could be the case
I remember watching the lemon hole end sequence and thinking how sad it was, maybe uncle gumbald somehow came back and made the candy kingdom into a capitalist nightmare and as her last act before chaos, princess bubblegum made prize all guardian and saved her people but shermy and Beth think uncle gumbald captured the candy people and that’s why there trying to stop it
Damn Finn did a lot for being 16
This is something I tried to do research on a long time ago and found barely anything, glad this video exists now
Thank you bro!
It is so fittingly an depressingly Adventure Time to go out on this massive victory, only to end with this almost nihilistic greyness as the conclusion. It would also be fittingly Adventure Time to find out that everyone just took a trip to this world's equivalent of New Zealand, and we just showed up on a rainy day. It is weird to think that there are such distinctly empty pockets of the world, but AT's lore is so energetic and lively that I can't imagine how it could shift so drastically, even after a millenium. As an example, I highly doubt that Lumpy Space or the Nightosphere have gone dark.
Yeah Adventure Time is all about change
man i had to rewatch this several times for the commentary alone, your lingo totally matches how many of the characters (the cool ones at least) talk within the world of AT, really cool.
Wow, thank you so much!
Seeing this city with human technologies, I can definitely conclude that humans had a peaceful life for long enough to at least build a livable and comfortable society of their own. That gives me some joy and hopes that humans are still somewhere out there. Perhaps they moved somewhere or even went to space. I really want to believe
@antonmakarenko3271
though it may be a pattern of the human's advancement causes them to nearly die, but this time it really backfired.
A big human city is in the place of the Candy Kingdom so I assume that humans lived in the Candy Kingdom and all of the Candy Kingdom residence are in the giant gumball Guardian now so there is a chance humans could be there too and I agree with you a big event must have happened for Princess Bubblegum to put everyone in a giant Guardian and the City to get destroyed maybe it's still going on because we see slime and Fire Kingdom fighting in the intro and I don't think humans are completely gone first they have Finn's mom that is a super smart AI all of the technology of the humans and we see humans are quite resilient in Adventure Time like the mutant fish people that Susan used to live with so maybe they are out there just hiding
Yeah this could be the case. I think someone pointed out that humans have a past of fleeing from chaos, like the original humans who went to the islands after fleeing from Ooo. So it's very possible that they are there again, or on some different island.
What ever it is, sweet pea has the answer
“Our main man Finn, and his human buddy” lmao
I’ve always been of the opinions that just because we don’t see the humans or other species in the time skip doesn’t necessarily mean that they’re extinct. In a world like adventure time which has has countless dimensions, planets, and planes of existence, I wouldn’t be surprised if the inhabitants of Ooo were simply forced (or chose to) leave and find greener pastures
yeah I think many of them fled to space/other worlds; cubert stays in space, there are a lot of pup ppl in space (including what looks like a shuttle thing to take them up in the finale intro), shermy and beth talk to an alien princess, etc. I think whatever happened might not have killed everyone but drove most of them away--everything looks more abandoned than destroyed to me. sounds like a whack idea, but a lot of humans would totally run to space if they could / felt like they should
I believe the pup kingdom took it over and shermy and Beth will bring it back to how it was before
If i had to guess, it probably has to do with how Gunter(New Ice King) is rapidly changing the ecosystem. It seems like OOO is heading in a pre-stage ice age, the pup kingdom also seems to expanding and domianting the lands, with gideon repressing all the new pups power. Princess bubblegums kingdom giant prize gumball guardian seems to have put all the candy people in suspended animation and got taken by gunter. It would be interesting to see the new adventure time series set in this time and see how it will be restored by our new protagnists adventures.
I dont think humanity is extinct. We only see a small sample size of Ooo in that future, and ooo is big
Yeah maybe not extinct, but it definitely looked very desolate and barren, making it hard for any human to live there.
@@paxw37 for sure. Ive seen harsher settings with a thriving human populace. Very possible some made a return to the islands as things got worse because, well, they had a good life there.
Could be that Humanity was already in the stars or are the next inhabitants of mars. As that was the only other place left to them to go. Also the 1000 year time skip reminds me of the All tomorrows scenario.
That’s crazy, I didn’t even think of that..
I have't seen lore speculation like this since uncivilised elk
You know I was just thinking, I wonder if sweet pea as a giant would sound like Ron Perlman
Love the effort you put into these vids! Got yourself a new subscriber
Thank you!!
Lol, I love the background music, Peridots theme is very good
i dont even think its necesairy for something big or drastic to have happened. sure the cities are ruins but they couldve just been left and people moved on to living on different places as technology progressed, probably some minor "big events" happened here and there but nothing like the mushroom war or golb.
BMO even considered the end of the golb situation "the end of ooo" more or less, and while it is BMO, it could also show that the biggest chaos and danger was over
Maybe lich hid among humans and was growing his power but then got stopped by someone and made the world into such a mess
Interesting... that could be.
Sweet Pea was literally the Lich though right? He's still around, and look normal enough, so I doubt the Lich had anything to do with the world being what it is
Peter, those are cheerios
As much as I love theories about adventure time, ESPECIALLY about the future of Ooo, there are a ton of important things to keep in mind: 1: We don't have any evidence of any creature being extinct, as any creature we don't see on Ooo could be in space. 2: Shermy and Beth being reincarnations of Finn and Jake was directly confirmed by the creators. 3: Ooo is a continent, and at the end of the day, all we've really seen so far is one or two nations and the surrounding area, and the surrounding area being desolate isn't too weird.
Most importantly, 4: Rainicorns and Dogs are at peace now, and dogs are at peace with humans. A war breaking out because the Rainicorns wanna eat humans would be like a war breaking out because the humans want to eat the candy people. In the world of adventure time, people are totally okay with living alongside edible creatures with very little issue, and things aren't gonna change just cause there are more of them.
It seems more likely to me that there isn't anything significantly apocalyptic going on, and people just decided to leave Earth because they went "hold up a quick second. Why tf are we willingly living on a rock that gets hit by a huge comet every 1000 years when we have access to the whole solar system?", and like humans always do, they left to somewhere safer when things got crazy.
I like to think they moved into space after founding the city we see in the background. Perhaps they joined the colony we see in BMO?
That's a good theory, very well could be.
Finn is definitely the link between worlds for the humans and Ooo
I think jake children just killed them all
Its simple humans happened.
They did what they always do.
The rest its simple to imagine.
The Ooo is rebuilding and will be destroying all humans in the new series called “The New Adventures Times of Epic!” Coming out in 2025 and will be the most family friendly show ever with a single fight scene toward the end and everyone will die in the finale it will be epic!
but im confused because remember that one episode when tree trunks was like ok my alien husband will find your candy kingdom a planet to live on in the future if anything bad happens. so why was the big gumball guardian carrying them all in his head? why is the candy kingdom abandoned AND WHY IS PRINCESS BUBBLEGUM A STATUE? DID SHE DIE OR IS THAT JUST TO REMEMBER HER BECAUSE SHES LIVING WITH MARCIE NOW WHATTT
Longer videos! Longer videos! Longer videos!!!! You have good info and a solid voice for Narrator work
Will do! I've been planning to do some longer form videos in the future! Thank you!!!
maybe it's because some sort of a disaster not a comet because everything is still intact mostly. Maybe it was an apocalypse think about it the candy kingdom is still intact, but it's abandoned, and the tree is just dead plus the outside is a city that's destroyed and there's no humans whatsoever and we can see that the city ruins have been broken by something or someone and maybe because of the event it caused the gloominess.
I just hope humanity hasn't gone extinct, probably there's a human civilazation in space at that point
I also dislike the idea that they went to war AGAIN :(
Honestly its mostly just the clouds, if you clear the sky up I bet it would look a lot nicer.
“Our main man Finn and his human buddy” lol
I did say it really fast, but I meant his human buddies on the Hub Island
I always feel this future is the idealistic future of the lich, almost no life at all just a quiet world. As the lich is the inevitable
But with the ending showing the future reincarnations of Finn and jake I believe there is hope for ooo
Do you think Shermy and Beth will ever come back ? Maybe as a cameo in the Adventure Time Fionna and cake since it all about multiversal adventures
Yeah I'm almost positive that they will. Would love to see an entire episode or series just on them.
It wouldn't suprise me if the ice thing ended up starting an ice age after the library turtle passed on, which resulted in PB making the mega guardian as a time capusle type thing to protect all her citizens (it probably even houses her) leaving the humans to fend for themselves. Jakes Children were probably fine for the most part, implementing human tech with their ability to rapidly reproduce (which explains the weird space varients, mass produced as expandable defence force), losing a few thousand over the years due to the ice age would be a loss they could handle. With humans being on the brink of extinction, they could not afford to lose a single human and most likely fled back to the island, leaving behind the new cities they have created. Finn and Jake most likely passed away long before this, which could easily explain her lack of helping humans in such dire times, she was more focused on protecting her own and without Finn, the humans weren't really her problem to deal with.
Yeah that's fair, that totally could have happened. It's funny cause I just did a video about the future of the pups.
Yea but PB and Marcaline are in the future intro
I don’t think it was because of the
Feud between humans and rainicorns that this happened. I think it’s because of humans, greed and pollution that caused this like in the first place.
extra appreciacion for 2k quality, my men i love u
I just always thought everyone went to space leaving the land of ooo
“What happened?” Golb played fallout 4 once
Did he just call Jake “human buddy”
he’s a bot. bro didn’t explain anything, just rambled the entire video. only reason i finished the video is because i’m drunk
Sorry was talking a little fast. Was talking about the Hub Island human's who came to Ooo at the end of the show.
I like how the humans came back and Ooo went to shit from pollution xD
Great video! Looking forward to your future videos!
Thank you!
@@paxw37 I also really liked the GOLB video you just made. So well done.
@@farexponent9173 Thank you so much! That really means a lot!
The fact thos channel only has 2k subs is crazy
Thank you!!
I have wondered this myself.
My theory is that humans eventually settled in Ooo then as years passed they started working with the candy people to build more human buildings/structures using concrete instead of candy. Of course humans aren’t perfect so i feel like the human might have wanted to take over the candy kingdom which led to a major war.
what you said about the catalyst comet i actually think the opposite because the purple one we see in i believe season 7 finale with orgolorg didn't hit earth not shaking anything up potentially throwing the eco systems of the planet out of whack or it could just be a simple war the boring possibility
Humans so frail that they isolated themselves in an island that are so used to many years without the threat of survival. Now like reintroducing a defenseless creature into an unfamiliar environment with many many creatures already adapted in said environment with combat and magic, how will the new comers adapt?
The only strong thing protecting them is probably Finn's existence since he's the bridge between the species of Oooo and the humans. Now what if he died and time erodes history that newer generation only knows him as a tale?
I do hope some humans stayed in the island and ensure the survival of humanity.
Possibly a lich situation happened with sweet p and wreaked havoc on ooo and had be stopped. I mean he is like a size of a mountain.
I mean that's a possibility. But we do see Shermy and Beth riding Sweet P in the intro, so I don't think he's bad. But you're right, maybe the Lich possessed him again.
I wonder if everyone noticed that giant Sweet P. is walking around there in one of the final clips. That's from Distant Lands ep. 1 I think.
Yeah, it's from the series finale "Come Along With Me". We can see Sweet P at the end when Shermy and Beth leave BMO's house, but we can also seem him in the new intro sequence with Shermy and Beth. There's a shot of them riding Sweet P.
@@paxw37 right right it's from the series finale I forgot. I just kind of relate to him he was born out of evil then bullied and called a weird baby man and then glowed up to be an awesome giant ^_^
@@infinitestare Right? His character looks so cool! I hope we get to see more of giant Sweet P in the future. Maybe in the Fionna and Cake series, who knows.
Everybody’s talking like things went bad as soon the credits rolled, like y’all it was A THOUSAND YEARS, do you guys not know how much time that is? 😭
We’ve had CARS for like a hundred years, if the Humans and Bubble Gum’s forces have modern technology, and everybody else has some type of magic, of course something is bound to go wrong in a THOUSAND YEARS.
Side note: Cars were invented in 1885, 1908 was the rise of revolutionary models, and the 1920’s was the popularization of the automobile. The nuke was invented and officially worked on July 16th, 1945. That’s just 60 years from figuring out how cars work to creating world destroyers.
Of course in a thousand years things are going to go wrong, nothing stays the same.
Maybe they went to space to find a new planet since you see the rocket in the new candy kingdom
Hmmmm... could be
There was a shot of a traveler with red boots appearing to be Marceline finding something and an ice prison with pinkish hands I bet it's bubblegum even after years it still bothers me
I think I'm going to make a video breaking down all the easter eggs we see in the new intro
It looks like ooo is about to slip into a pretty gnarly ice age or maybe a super volcano erupted and the temperature is about to drop significantly making the surface uninhabitable for awhile hence why the candy citizens are in stasis maybe PB or her successor decided the candy people need to sleep through whatever is about to come
That sounds very possible. I totally forgot to even mention the candy citizens inside the prize ball guardian. So that very well could be the case.
My theory is that the humans, with much more space to expand, broke into factions and waged war on each other. The other residents of ooo tried to stop the fight and inadvertently turned the human’s against them. After a long drawn out conflict the humans were wiped out. The residents of ooo seem to be really good and peaceful people, unlike humans
I thought that the show adventure time was told from the perspective of Bemo so everything has a colorful spin on it until we get someone else's perspective.
war ... war never changes.
we need adventure time show with shermy and beth
Agreed
Writers said “What of Adventure Time became a Dark Souls game?”
😂
Always love to see new adventure time content
Thank you!
There is also a lot of space, in space. Id wager most of the people left for space. Heck there is a space elevator built into the Candy Kingdom now. Would you wanna build civilisations future on a planet with 30% of it being a giant hole into space?
I mean it's a cartoon, whatever happened in those 1000 years is totally up to your own imagination.
Both of these theories are pretty solid!
I'm leaning more to the war scenario as much of the physical topography seems pretty much intact, which is what a kinetic, conventional, high tech war aftermath would look like.
I believe the comet would've disfigured, perhaps permanently, the already severely damaged planet's ability to remain intact with a breathable atmosphere, etc,.
Ooo would probably be in big chunks at best, and an asteroid belt at worse
Very Nice Video! I've always liked to think of theories about Adventure Time.
I don't think this is the real adventure time ending beemo is untrusted
Shermy looks kind of like the space bunnies maybe They finally got to Earth after BMO.
yup, probably a catalyst comet. makes sense with a catalyst comet happening every 1k years, everything is destroyed and the candy kingdom is sheltering in that big gumball guardian lookin thing
it does feel like a pretty pb move to reject the change the comet will bring if it means the death of her people
possibly building the guardian as a way to keep them safe and also look for a new habitabal place for her subjects to live in
patience did survive the previous comit by freezing herself (and it could have happened again since we see her still frozen in the intro)
so it wouldn't be completely unbelievable that pb managed to build something that effectively does the same thing
It cant have been a catalyst comet, they only hit earth once every 1000 years which means that it must have only hit a couple years before shermy and beth, i think what happened is what always happens to humanity, war, what if the candy people and humans had a war that resulted in a mushroom bomb type event
I miss Adventure Time :(
Great video!
