Who Is The Ice King - Simon Petrikov - Adventure Time Explained Remastered

- Lets talk about the ice king, otherwise known as Simon Petrikov. I personally feel like he is greatly misunderstood. He is one of the survivors from before the mushroom war, kept alive all this time by his crown, at the cost of his own sanity. As a result of the crowns power, he has almost regressed to the mental state of a small child. He has an overwhelming desire to be loved, although he cannot grasp that love is something that cannot be forced or taken but has to be given freely. He is incredibly lonely, he just wants to have friends. He sometimes thinks that finn and jake are his friends even though they are usually in conflict with him. Here, we will be relying heavily on the wiki as I map out of the timeline of Simon the Ice King. So put on your jacket and grab some tissues, because the story of simon and marceline is a tragic one.
Sometime before the Mushroom War, Ice King was a normal, olive-skinned, dark-haired human named Simon Petrikov who was studying to be an antiquarian (a specialist in the knowledge of ancient artifacts). He had a young fiancée named Betty, whom he referred to as his "princess" and loved dearly.
In "I Remember You," it is revealed that Simon was a Professor of Archaeology and had discovered the ancient text of heroes, the Enchiridion, during an expedition to the Hindu Kush mountain range. This is shown in a newspaper clipping[citation needed] that Marceline shows him in the episode "I Remember You." The newspaper heading reads, "Simon Petrikov Unearths Ancient Treasure," and was written by the journalist Bruce Guese. This newspaper clipping can be seen in an image above.
At some point in his career, he purchased a strange jeweled crown from an old dock worker in Northern Scandinavia. After bringing the crown home, he put it on his head to make Betty laugh, but the crown caused him to black out and experience odd visions. He "fought with [the visions]… shouted at them until [he] realized it wasn't real-it was the crown."
Skin turns blue, crown plugs into sanity and hair becomes gray…
Simon had no recollection of what he had said or done while wearing the crown, though it was enough to frighten away his fiancée. Simon never heard or saw Betty ever again and began to record himself on VHS tape so people would know his story. As time passed, Simon would hear voices and continue to have disturbing visions even without the crown. Over time, his skin turned light blue, his nose became pointy and long, his eyes and hair turned white, he grew a full beard, and his body temperature dwindled to an unnatural low of 30 °C, or 86 °F (normal human body temperature is 37 °C or 98.6 °F). Despite these unnatural body conditions and being in a land covered by snow, Simon managed to survive. As his mind and body became further twisted by the crown, Simon thought himself "too far gone" to find an escape from its influence, though he hoped that he could one day regain his sanity enough so that Betty, his "princess," would come back and love him again. He is no longer considered a human; the power of the crown not only twisted his mind, but his body as well. His species/race is now Wizard according to the writers.
Ice King was also Marceline's "beloved friend" and guardian before eventually abandoning her. Around the time of the Mushroom War and before losing his sanity, Simon found a young Marceline crying in the wreckage. He gave her a stuffed doll from a toy shop destroyed in the conflict to comfort her. This toy would eventually become Marceline's most precious possession, Hambo, which she would keep and cherish until it was sold to Maja the Sky Witch by her ex-boyfriend, Ash. Marceline described Hambo to Ash as her "favorite thing in the world." She was seen alone with a worn-out version of the stuffed toy when Finn and Jake visited her memories in "Memory of a Memory," possibly several years after Simon gave it to her. In "Sky Witch," Marceline is reunited with Hambo after Princess Bubblegum managed to swap it with Maja in exchange for the shirt Marceline gave her. Simon ultimately abandoned Marceline at the same time as the filming of his final video diary, fearing for her safety at what he was becoming.
It could be implied that the crown he wore only sought to protect him. It taught him the secrets of the "ice and snow," so he would survive the Mushroom War, as it did for Farmworld Finn in "Finn the Human." However, in the same episode, Farmworld Finn mentioned the crown's "promise of power," implying the crown's seductive nature and negative influence.
As many years passed, Simon became disassociated from his original identity to the point that his only reaction to watching a video of his past was embarrassment at the idea of having once worn glasses. Further proof of his dissociation is shown in...
Thank you for watching Who is The Ice King - Simon Petrikov - Adventure Time Explained Remastered. Love you all!
He used to call Betty his "princess" that's why he's stealing princesses because he's reminded of her when he does.
*cries *
༎ຶ︵༎ຶ
💀
imagine if he called her baby
@@Feras_Ahmed661Dear god please don’t
When Ice King stated he made the crown with magic he stole, that might be a memory of Gunther, because Evergreen did make the crown with magic he stole.
Didn't think of it like that
3 years ago and 3 weeks ago lol
interesting
It's from the stories from his brain beamed by the crown
@@moinmahmud6265I'm pretty sure the beam thing was only related to fiona and cake's world. Big spoiler reveal of what the beam means from fiona and cake show episode 4.
The life of Simon Petrikov was one of the most beautiful stories in adventure time. A poor soul who lost his love. This man's sanity was left to slowly deteriorate under the crown's power. And he was consciously aware of this happening. He was forced to push away his loved ones because he didn't know what would happen; All he knew was that his condition was getting worse.
🎯
I like to think that Simon was never truly gone, living as a whisper in the Ice Kings head, but still so powerful just biding his time.
His story reminds me of Old Man Mcgucket from Gravity Falls. Similar story, and they evoke the same emotions.
True
Wait, I also realized that
That’s what I thought too
Except Simon did it to save Marceline, while McGucket did it to make himself ignorant to a huge threat to the universe.
True
The crown was created to stop the meteor but it's greatest desire is to grant its user with love. The original Guntar, and The Ice King share that similarity. the consciousness of the user lives forever in the crown. never able to escape.. that's why we see iteration of the crown's users with in. forever forced to live inside.
'Each time you use the crown, you will lose more of yourself, and you will lose her.'
'But she will not lose herself!'
The crown is meant to turn the user into the likeness of Evergreen (the original ice elemental) due to gunter (the dinosaur)'s wish.
When he says "I made the crown with the magic I stole!" Its evergreen recollecting the time where he made the crown and stole those red gems from that lava elephant.
What episode was this
Elemental I think
@@kenm4390 evergreen
simons body temperature dropped to 30 degrees celcius at the beginning of the tapes he made. His body temperature probably dropped much lower than that afterwards.
probably
The creator of the show is clearly a john lennon fan...
Absolutely
as he should
John Lemmon
That's what was thinking maybe he's actually is john lennon
Who is that
Deep
You know your life is not ok when even death feels bad for you ,'l
literaly
When I was young I have always thought the ice king was not an antagonist but the funniest character
What I would like to see most before the series ends is ice king and PB having a moment of bonding and friendship, as they are both major protagonists in the series but still seem to be isolated from each other as PB doesnt really seem to respect him. I feel like he deserves redemption in this way as it will connect him, marceline and PB together and end everything on a good note, and he could die in a heroic manner.
haHA
:/
He doesn't love PB by any means tho, he loves Betty he just basically thinks every woman is Betty.
yeah they're both scientists too
At the end of the show, he becomes Simon again and he and PB seem to be on good terms.
1000 years pass he keep asking where is my princess now even after regained his sanity he keep asking the same question.
Simons story made such a impact me that I deeply want to name my future son Simon after him
poor soul. his brain forgot her, but his heart didn't. he knew he had to stick near her
He’s my favorite character, and honestly one of my favorite father figures
I love the story of Simon😭😭😭
I have a theory that Juice Goose is really a mutated version of Bruce Guece.
Eli the guy It makes sense since that on farmworld choose goose is named choose Bruce instead.
Choose goose?
Either that or a reincarnation
when I was still a kid i thought Ice King is the enemy on adventure time.
They made it seem like that at first
Simon is a legend
His history cuts deep deeper than any blade
"I made it with the magic I stole'. Simon is possessed by a magical/magic wielding entity who created the crown, that it linked itself toin order to use it as a gateway into the mind of living meat-sacks, so that it may gain the influence of a physical presence in this world.
my crown theory anyway.
Jason Sanders the entity that created the crown (evergreen) only created it to fullfill the wearers wish to stop the comet. He didnt want to posses anyone with it. However, the crown couldve developed self awareness and a consciousness of its own and sorta possesed simon.
and doesn't it seem a little ironic that the same man who found the Enchiridion was the same one the come into possession of/by the Ice Crown?
What does the Lich think about the Ice King? Who has similar feelings about the Lich? Do they ALL know each other? If so then how, and for how long?
What color was Simon's skin? What color was his pre-Mushroom War fiancée's skin? Who else does Marcy try to encourage to be friends with "Simon"? Is this encouragement illogical considering their history, or does it somehow make perfect sense?
Rehan Noon ok, thanks for the info. And just to be clear, the questions and observations I just posted aren't more theories, but questions of someone who's seen enough episodes and knows enough about the story to want to know more.
Jason Sanders well good for you cuz I have the answers. Simon was an archeologist, and so he ran amuck collecting artifacts like the enchiridion and the crown. The crown has a jewel that is used to power the enchiridion in helping get to certain dimensions like prismos time room, and so it is thought that some cosmic deity or the universe itself birthed these artifacts into helping beings learn more about their existence ( I suspect Golb.) Bettys face only changed because magics man's madness and sadness overcame her, and so she almost went crazy. Simon's face changed because the crown turns his appearance into that of evergreens, which was gunters true wish. The lich and the ice king have nothing to do with each other so far, they've just stumbled upon different artifacts at different time for different purposes. Marcy tries to get Finn Jake and PB to understand Simon more because Simon helped Marcy like a father figure until he went crazy, and so she is trying to get them to understand and accept his being.
Finally been waiting for sooooo long thank u 😭😭😭
they turned a crazy old man with ice powers into a tragic Character
I think Simon knew Marceline’s mom and took care after her after the mushroom war killed her mom
I would love to know about the history of the two other people who were stuck in the crown. It would've been cool to know the travels that the crown went through. When Bubble gum and Marcie were inside the crown to see what was wrong with it, they saw Gunter, but we also see a santa and a young man. I would love to know what the hecks.
This is how I felt when Simon was goofy before I knew he was Simon.
*BWAAAAHAHAHAH*
This is how I feel now.
He used to be sane....
One of the few episodes I saw when I was younger was I remember you. It’s what got me into Adventure time
Jesus Christ u always make the best explanation videos, keep up the good work, good things are surely to come ur way man. U now have one more subscriber. I love these videos man.
Its interessting the relationship from marceline and iceking is like a dementia situation. first he protects her, cares for her, but with time grewing his mental state is going down, he forgets things, talking crazy but is aware of the situation at the beginning. in the end she protects him, cares for him in his demented state even if she knew that he cant remember her or the past.
Adventure time will always have a special place in my heart
Simon/ice king is literally a more extreme version of dementia.
The ice king is deeper than 99% of Naruto
Actually, in all of fiction! Naruto, Sasuke, Obito and maybe pain are the only naruto characters that are better written than the ice king
@@sinatraoce5339 Madara Uchiha
His history cuts deep deeper than any blade
Kisame ,. ,_, .,
@A P. Madara Uchiha had it worse He Lost Everything Whereas Hashirama Still had Tobirama
Then Madara Eventually Saw His eye of the Moon plan come to life, but even then His dreams where once again Snatched from him whereas Hashirama Saw his dreams Come to fruition and Even learned Of how his dreams still continued long after his time. Madara Got the short end of the stick He lost To Hashirama consistently Not just in Battle but in life and death aswell.
This is why I keep watching Adventure time to learn about the Ice King and the man who was
Iceking/simon is prob one of the best character development i have ever seen
I always knew he was a sad man but his past is even sadder
ice king is such a tragic character homie deserves love
every video you uplode is Better than the one before keep up you are great🖤
Thanks
Everytime i think about this it makes me want to cry
So Simon petrikov basically adopted marcaline
Yep
Well done. This story always tears me up.
it sucks that they aren't gonna disclose the story of Simon and Marceline :(
adventure Time ends this September
Lol
He never saw Betty because she timed hoped forwards into the future it goes full cycle
It’s really nice he came back to normal in the end
fuck, i am not crying, i am sweating from my eyes.
What if the "I'll teach you the secrets of ice and snow" was just ever Green's voice when he was telling Gunter he'd teach him to do magic???
Any theories about Ice King`s future??? And does anyone have some ideas what that "Ice Thing" could be??? I´m really courious about that...
did u watch the ending ice king turns to simon
Agent Shimleel spoiler alert!
The made from magic that I stole part makes sense as Gunther's wish was to be like evergreen so evergreen's actions were his
If the Crown transforms Simon into Ice King because of losing his sanity over time, how could the Ice King still does some sane things? Is the transformation not over yet? If it is, what would Ice King be like if he lose all his sanity? Would he transform into that flying beard thing with red gem on Lemonhope episode?
I think it could just be his humanity poking through at times, which I suppose could mean he's not *completely* sane yet, but I see him as having good days and bad days. But also, that flying beard thing has always intrigued me... didn't we see it somewhere else more recently as well?
The flying beard thing is gunther
Rafli Avriza / that was gunther
Well the crown's purpose is to grant wishes, Gunther's wish was to become like master evergreen, the transformation may alr be over and it just made him a Little insane as compensation for the "wish"
Nice video BTW ice king is my favorite character
Fatbwoyslim Plays roblox same. Considering the fact that he is a sociopath, hes one the most developed characters ive seen in the series. His friendship with Finn especially.
Woah, I watched this video yesterday night on my phone and I just realized the video is different than when I watched it today on my computer (but the audio is still the same)
After finale
Ice King became Simon and lived
and then died
@@papajoe2623 this comment aged badly ngl
It’s sad because it reminds me of my grandpa when he had dementia :( I was always upset that he didn’t remember me but it wasn’t his fault
Ice king when he's inbetween phases looks like John Lennon your welcome
Lmfao
the tapes of him progressively getting worse was so difficult to watch. so sad
I have a theory on why he desires princesses, you can see in some of the origin story episodes that he calls Betty his princess, he lost his princess, so he desires a new one, one to replace Betty, that is why he always tries to capture princess
ice kings favorite princess is bubblegum because he it reminds him on betty even though he cant remember her as the ice king
ice king is deeper than most one piece characters
And I watched the old one litterally last night.
Nice detail using the Ost from WoW, referencing the Wotlk, Arthas, the Lich King
I saw 60's and mid 70's lennon
Marceline... Is it just you and me in the wreckage of the world?
That must be so confusing for a little girl...
And I know you're going to need me here with you
But I'm losing myself and I'm afraid you're going to lose me too...
This magic keeps me alive!
But it's making me crazy!
And I need to save you... But who's going to save me?
Please forgive me for whatever I do... When I don't remember you...
The power of the crown also led to Simon regressing in appearance into the short, cold blue-skinned barefoot ice wizard we see in the earlier seasons of the show from the tall, handsome bespectacled man he used to be...
If anything I feel like the supportive parts in the tragic story of Simon & Ice King should be an VHS analog horror of some sort.
There is an interestinf retcon. In episode "Betty" it's revelaed Simon and Betty wrote several books on Magic. One of which he uses to open portal in time.
That would mean he had to have believe in Magic before he put the crown on. Alternative is that those specific and elaborate instructions to perform Magic were all treated as superstituion. But it wouldn't make sense since they sometimes use technology and anybody who tried them would have realized that at least some of them work.
Simon and marceline's relationship was what I like about adventure time, even though I never watched it enough to have an opinion
Might want to think about checking those sound levels, I found that at points the music was kind of competing over your voice over. Great video otherwise!
I tried to follow up with the story before but I couldn’t because I would forget episodes that came on and it would basically make no sense to me
Honestly the Ice king reminds me of a lost naive child.
I knew this show was deep when ice kings backstory happened.
awesome video as always,
tfw someone gives attention to my favorite character.
When he had glasses he's old man John Lennon
Dude is that the music from the Temple of the Moon in World of Warcraft
Actually the crown in barn world could have been made differently
He went from being a perverted madman to a tragic hero who sacrificed his sanity and personality for his adopted daughter.
God I just wish that they would give a little more lore to the ice king because i'm absolutely in love with his story! It's so sad and when Marceline was singing remember you I was almost crying
When did this channel stop focusing on adventure time. That’s when the channel died, hopefully someday he’ll comeback to adventure time, so many episodes to breakdown
I used to hate ice king but by the end of season 4 he became my favorite character
I remember in the vampire short series the vampire who had the power of Invisibility she says she enslaved Simon and that's why she found him again when exactly was this like was it right after he left marceline or a few hundred years later when in the time line was this
Does anybody know the music?
Simon is just Golum from LOTR
Poor Simon...
He Just Wanted to Be Strong Enough to Protect TheLastPerson He Cared For.😢
Marcy Knows it's Not Simon's Fault.😢
Kind of unrelated, but the guy who wrote the article on the Enchiridion, Bruce Guese. Is that Choose Goose prior to a mutation like how the candy people and others mutated to live longer??
Weird fact: he reminds me from that character of the novel El Filibusterismo where their names and physical description are almost identical!
Симон Петриков
I think this guy is a russian boi.
I'm on Fiona and cakes show now and Simon is the perfect focus cuss he gifs life to Fiona's world
As someone who took care of a relative with dementia the ice king hit to close to home.
Poor simon😢😢😢😢😢
The farm world is an alternative reality?
adventure time is quit the adventure when you recall all that has happed there in it's history, from a random comedy show to a wonderful world 😂😂😂🤣🤣🤣😭😭😭😭😭
Your editing style and voice remind me of vaatividya for some reason
That is a huge compliment
the music is so loud but thank you
So what/who exactly is that outro guy at the end of every video?
Excuse me sir but can I take the video and translate it into Arabic ? 😅 Or It is not possible 😅
Nice music dude
What would happen if Simon stopped wearing the crown all together?
SalmonInYour Rice well uh.....no adventure time then
Bricks from Mars :(
SalmonInYour Rice :(
The background music was a little somber in this one.
WeegeeSlayer It fits, considering his story.
Awesome🔥😎
