The best thing about the far future epilogue is that Sweet Pea exists because The Lich possessed Billy, and in the end Sweet Pea became the new Billy.

I think that once the lich dies (or rather sweet p) evil will be reincarnated again, same as Finn but we learn that despite the evil nature of the green meteor there can be a chance for redemption

@@Ryzen776 This could be because of the fact universes don’t seem to run parallel to each other. So one event could be delayed like in farm world with the creation of the Lich. Where Sweet P just simply hasn’t encountered or been created yet in that universe. Additionally in farm world Sweet P. wouldn’t be created. Sweet P. is also likely is immortal so the fight could be delayed for a long, long time in a universe. Of course in his phrasing it likely means that due to infinite amount of choices can be made at the speed of thought from every living being that event has ended with the Lich’s victory.

I doubt there's many sweet Ps around the multiverse if there's actually another one, he's pretty much an anomaly, and the other hands were most probably defeated by different versions of either Finn or another powerful being, most probably being ice king, Marceline or Bonnie variants

Another great case of Nature vs Nurture in Adventure Time is Shoko, the previous incarnation of Finn, who up till becoming friends with Bubblegum could be considered a "bad" person through her actions and such despite being a reincarnation of a Cataylst Comet which was the literal embodiment of Good (Nature). Her life was So S**t so consistently, like her parents selling her arm for a computer (Nurture), it subplanted her nature of Good which admitedly quickly rose to the surface after her first friend but that also just goes to show Just How Terrible her life had been up till that point.

0:45 I loved how they incorporated a high level dnd spell like command word. Literally uttering the word “death” and those you’ve directed it at just fall dead. “Fall” and they’ll let go if they’re hanging or just drop to the ground. “Sleep” and they’ll instantly fall into an eternal slumber. “Live” and a person on deaths door will instantly heal…. Same as “heal”. “Kill” and they’ll just start killing unceasingly.

@@TheAznCritic It seems like he was only wearing Billy's skin, Billy doesn't have horns, and sweet pea didn't grow up to look like Billy. Though when he took over farm world Jake he made Jake's head morph to look like the lich. So I guess Sweet Pea is a sort of corrupted version of Billy, Or like Betty merging with Golb to save Simon. Billy not only defeated the lich, but ended up merging with him to keep him in check long term.

I think something that is important to remember isn't by definition evil... technically he is instead the manifestation of death and doom. In this, I wonder if we could say that sweet P relationship with the Lich is somewhat about optimistic/existenial nihilism versus pessimistic nihilism and how it relates to our relationship with death. Sweet P in many ways resembling the experince of life even if he is the manifestation of death

One cool detail is that Sweet P has the sword made by Peppermint Butler meaning that Sweet P probably specializes in dealing with evil spirits and curses
Honestly, the scene with sweet p turning into lich is very interesting to me because I’m always constantly wondering. Why did the lich do that? Specially in that moment when he can do it any time he wants to, a few theories about it 1. Sweet p being scared and feeling weak so much to the point the lich decides to take over, but it kind of doesn’t make sense like why didn’t he destroy the king of ooo and there has been a few times sweet p has been scared 2. Sweet p wanted to be evil at that moment sometimes people that are good can be evil depending on the situation and sweet p being evil in that moment, or wanting to them to go away so the lich decides to come out and talk to them maybe before killing them, but sweet p realise how wrong it was to be evil and decides to put the witch back inside animal 3. My favourite possibility, the lich actually cares about sweet p and wanted to show the king of ooo that he’s not different from the lich and he’s a monster for taking advantage of a child that is very sweet and cares too much
@TheAznCritic
Жыл бұрын
It could be any of those ideas! My take on it is like when an animal is pushed to a corner it’s animalistic nature comes out. I think in that moment although it may seem like the lich and sweet P are separate entities, they are still one. The lich is a part of sweet P and Sweet P is a part of the lich. Hence why they spoke it’s both of their voices speaking at the same time.

The way I view it that Sweet P and the Lich are two side of the same coin. One good and one evil. Adding a balance to the universe. Sweet P wants to protect live while the Lich wants to destroy it. And sense Sweet P comes from the Lich he can tap into that power when he wants but do to the fact that he’s a child it is hard for him only tapping into the power at points of great stress. If mastered Sweet P could tap into that power at any time he wants.
the lich symbolizing the collective human shadow makes sense when his origin was literally nuclear war as well

Oh the lich is much older than that he has existed since before there was nothing like the other primordials such as orgalorg.
I think that Sweet P’s arch is in a way about realizing that you don’t have to be exactly like your parents and don’t have to go about your life taking on the legacy that they may have set out for you to follow, it’s about being your self and being able to be a better person than those before you. Sweet P is much like an adopted child who had not so great birth parents (I am not in any way saying that all adopted children do, I am saying his story is much like an ab*sed or neglected child that has been adopted by a loving family) he has the most loving and lovely adoptive parents and wants to stop his cycle of evil and be his own and better person than his father/parent. This also proves that he’s not only made out of his father’s evil but also the Citadel Guardian’s healing powers from its blood.

Dug the way you analyzed sweet pea from a character stand point and a redemption arc in a way.

I'd say the big reason why nurture is so much more impactful than nature is that your brain is actively changing and developing in relation to your surroundings. While it'll have some central pattern that was there from birth, that thing is anything but static.
This was a great video. another possibility to think about from this is that the moment the lich was hit by the good nootch and became Sweet P, he finally realized what it means to be alive especially after being raised by such good parents and thus never wanted to go back. I like to think all the times the lich surfaced in Sweet P were attempts to protect Sweet P and guiding Fin to the alternate lich since they would have the same kind of thinking. Even when it seemed like the lich returned it was just a ploy to defeat the alternate lich, I like to think that it was a story of lich himself choosing to be Sweet P and rejecting his darker nature so that he may find a happier purpose.

That there’s two cosmic lich’s in ooooh now. They destroy/kill the hand lich… which means the soul can reincarnate again…… which means that sweet pea is about to have a cosmic twin of pure evil.

Honestly i got a different interpretation. He is a lich, THE lich of their world. But.... his life as sweetpea, the 'nurture' changed his nature. While the consciousness of the lich remained inside of him, he chose to remain sweetpea. Its why he had the power too banish another incarnation of himself so easily. In aweird way the king of ooo helped this. He learned contrast, the actions of the good, like finn, his parents, and the actions of evil, the king of ooo, what he once was. He has a presonal interest in Finn because finn has bseted him several times and is his spiritual antithesis, his equal and opposite. He never monologues or anything like that towards ANY being except for him.

Sweet P was one of my favorite characters I could relate to a lot, my father isn’t a good person and I used to have nightmares that I was destined to be just like him. And I’d cry to my mom saying why do I have his blood. But therapy and having good male role models in my life made me feel better and now my students love me I’m very respected and I’ve accepted who my father is. I’ll be better

Seeing the Lich who succeed in the Fiona And Cake cartoon feeling hollow made me realize that's not impossible that our Lich choose to stays in Sweety Pea
I really like Sweet Pea's arch I'm glad that they took in the direction of fighting to essentially stay true to yourself. To stay "sweet"
"We reign now, twin kings of ruin." "I am not a king a ruin." "What?!" "I am sweet and you're just a naughty hand." - Sweet P, telling the Lich to sit and spin.
I see Sweet P and the Lich as two sides of the same idea. Death. The Lich will never truly die, because he's basically the physical manifestation of death. The difference is that the Lich is a horrible, destructive version of death while Sweet P is a gentle version of death. Lich is the version of death that forces you to leave everything for his own gain while Sweet P is the type of death to let you know you're not alone
Bruh sweet P falling was one of my favorite scenes in the whole show
It would be really cool if we got an adventure time special about future sweet pea. I’d love to see how he uses his sword and what he’s like as the new champion of Ooo

I think it would have been a good thing for that far future Sweet P to casually do some wacky high level death spell to clean his hands or something similar. Really bring in the idea of bringing your Jungian Shadow back into line with the whole. The potential for the Lich is there, just as every person holds the potential to dive into rhetoric and cause something horrible with their followers. That potential was folded into a more well adjusted individual, and will only ever exist as an option for Sweet P to pull out on the worst of his foes.

7:49 Maybe Sweet P has a fear of heights or was taught that he could break bones or worse from such a height. So he chose a pose that he believed protected him from injury: Arms and legs squeezed as tightly as possible to the rest of his body. And no matter what happens keep it that way until you land on the ground. Not on your head, of course, but on your legs.
If nothing, Sweet P becomes a BIG HERO in the future!

Ya know I just realized something. That great big war between the cosmic beings. Ya know, golb, glob, Finn’s soul, jakes soul, the lich, and Gunther the penguin where many were “killed”. Well, I believe that you CANT kill a cosmic being, not even golb who “erases” things can kill a cosmic being. The catalyst comits are the cosmic beings that were “killed” in the giant battle before time, except instead of actually being dead, their souls were would be scattered between all the dimensions. Golb is so insurmountable and fearful because there is only one singular golb, but each of the reincarnates are only splinters of their former selves. There’s only one in each dimension…….. except one… there’s now two lich’s in the land of oooh….. one in sweet pea and one who’s being reincarnated after sweet pea killed jakes hand lich. The lich is ever closer to becoming twice if not even more times powerful. ….
