This doesn’t necessarily mean that all these characters are dead, since this scene is just a hallucination.ġ5. A whole bunch of familiar skeletons are seen in the bird’s nest: Dirt Beer Guy, Abracadaniel, Me-Mow, Lemongrab, Mr. This is also a callback to the title sequences of “Islands” and “Elements”.ġ4. Jake is hurt when Finn fist bumps him with his metal arm, revealing that this scene is not real. It also appears as one of the items in Finn’s backpack later.ġ3. The first is as Finn is approaching the library in his dream. The book “Mind Games” appears a couple of times, as seen in several previous episodes of Adventure Time.
The crew have said that the Snail has been deliberately left out of previous Distant Lands specials, so its placement here is another very deliberate hint that this whole sequence is “trying too hard” to be like the early seasons.ġ2. Jake is half frozen by Ice King in pretty much the exact same way as he was in “Prisoners of Love”, and even has a very similar line.ġ1.
It’s the kind of resolution that wouldn’t happen so much in the late seasons of the show, which helps make this scene feel even further out of place.ġ0.
Finn being given the choice of helping somebody but ending up helping everybody reminds me of “Memories of Boom Boom Mountain”. LSP sitting on Finn’s head like this is reminiscent of Pen Ward’s piece for the 2018 Ble crew zine.ĩ. The first major break in continuity is these snow golems resembling Uncle Gumbald and Peace Master, who Finn didn’t meet until later in his life.Ĩ. This further hints that something is not quite right.ħ. The snow golem speaks with a baby voice like it did in the pilot episode, even though in canon it has a deeper voice. Finn has his Scarlet sword and is out on a classic Ice King adventure, but he speaks in his grown voice and all the slang feels much more forced than it did in the real season one. This whole scene feels immediately slightly off. Continuing with the metaphor, the dirt in the ice cream could be a parallel to the fact that Jake’s Nirvana actually wasn’t perfect, because his inaction was allowing for injustice to perpetuate.ĥ. The ice cream having “50 flavours” and having an image of an enlightened soul is an obvious reference to the 50th Dead World as we see it later in the episode.Ĥ. The background of the title cards is also the hill from the title sequence.ģ. The only difference is this final screen saying “Distant Lands”.Ģ. I was expecting them to perhaps do a classic style title sequence for this episode, but I wasn’t expecting them to straight up use the original title sequence. This is adapted from my original Twitter thread.ġ. A thread of lore, Easter eggs, episode connections, and background details from Adventure Time: Distant Lands: Together Again! Let me know if I missed anything!
