"I will say that they're not obscure characters. "We wanted to focus on either areas that were completely unvisited before or were sort of less explored that we might've been through before, but just really kind of digging in and finding as much potential as we could," Muto teased of specials 3 and 4. The next two installments are entitled "Wizard City" and "Together Again."

When all is said and done, fans will be able to access four follow-up stories to the series finale. The debut special - Adventure Time: Distant Lands: "BMO" - is currently available to stream on HBO Max. Glass Boy, for example, has "elements of Finn if they were amped up to a more extreme degree." Olson later explained that Marceline's arc in "Obsidian" (it doesn't have a premiere date yet) involves overcoming her own emotional baggage and shortcomings: "Ultimately, she can't move forward with Bubblegum until she tackles her own issues."Īt the beginning of the story, we'll get to meet never-before-seen characters "who are sort of analogs for Finn and Jake," Muto said. Here's the key art (featuring a new character known as Glass Boy, voiced by Michaela Dietz): it has those elements to it that a lot of the characters within the show are exhibiting in this episode." "Obsidian is a type of natural glass and spiritually, it can be protective and absorb negativity, but it also can be weaponized.

"It takes place near a place that we haven't shown on the shown previously called the Glass Kingdom," executive producer Adam Muto continued. "I think the way that they executed this storyline with 'Obsidian' is gonna be really satisfying for the fans to tick off a lot of questions that they've had." "I was really, really excited when I read the script," Olson said. During the show's panel for HBO Max revealed the official artwork for the upcoming (dare we say it?) adventure.

Next: Disney Needs To Properly Fix Its LGBTQ+ Mistakes In All Franchises By making their relationship a driving force in the episode, it beautifully resolved the show’s earlier issues with explicit queerness. It also allowed the creators to finally give Princess Bubblegum and Marceline’s relationship the respect it deserved. Rather than making it a simple story of coming together, Obsidian depicts a bold, layered queer relationship.Īdventure Time: Distant Lands - Obsidian helped solidify Adventure Time’s legacy. Centuries later, after they’ve rekindled their romance, they have to return to the Glass Kingdom and confront the issues that led to that breakup in the first place. During an early part in the special’s timeline, the couple rashly breaks up after bumping heads while Bubblegum tries to save the Glass Kingdom. Instead, it focused on the complex nature of relationships. What delighted LGBTQ+ viewers even more was that Adventure Time: Distant Lands - Obsidian wasn’t the couple’s origin story. So Adventure Time: Distant Lands - Obsidian's romance felt like a much-needed course correction. Still, there were no explicit discussions of a romance. Later on, the characters shared small, tender moments, like Marceline staying with and caring for Bubblegum after the latter lost her crown to the manipulative King of Ooo. One of Bubblegum’s favorite shirts originally belonged to Marceline, and in the episode “What Was Missing,” Marceline sings a song that hints at a complicated romantic past. Beginning in Adventure Time season 3, there were little peeks into Bubblegum and Marceline’s shared past.
