Everything I know about Adventure Time's history.

As by request; Everything that I know about Adventure Time's history--




So before the Candy Kingdom and that stuff the world was earth. But then there was a massive nuclear war that took out all of North America and Europe, thus the Land of Ooo was created in a giant crater left behind from the blast. This was called the Great Mushroom War; referring to the mushroom cloud that a nuclear bomb makes. All of it was destroyed but a place called Beautopia- which looks like it was an old mall of some sort- that lies underground in something like the sewers of maybe NYC (but it was exploded by the bomb so NYC isn't there anymore, all that's left is the underground stuff). In the Land of Ooo you will find loads of different kingdoms one of them being the kingdom of the dead. The kingdom of the dead is ruled by Ghost Princess and looks like a very large graveyard (the kingdom not the princess). According to a ghost who lives in a grave next to Ghost Princess's she's been there the longest out of everyone and after seeing her vision of how she died you come to find out that she lived in Medieval times and died at battle with her love, Sir Clarence (who ended up being the one who killed her). In the Kingdom of the dead there are ghosts of people who died in the Great Mushroom War (I'm assuming) who, if asked, could explain what happened during the bombing. Basically, the entire world in Adventure Time is the aftermath of a Nuclear War mutation and all.

If someone were to take a stroll through the beautiful land of Ooo, one might find themselves captivated by the natural beauty that surrounds them... not noticing the over turned police car's that have rusted and become overgrown with plant life or the half buried city's underwater. But who would? You're in a world where dogs fucking talk and rainbows and unicorns have been put together to make rainacorns. You wouldn't notice either so shut 'ya face.

If you've ever seen an episode of adventure time you would know that there are quite a few characters who play major roles in proving the bomb theory. One of these characters is the Ice King. When Finn and Jake obtain a video of the Ice King's they learn that he was a human once and he collected and studied antiques. There was one antique that really stood out from the rest, a crown that contained magic. Once he put it on he became the Ice King but he soon went mad (which may or may not have had something to do with the radiation) and lost his Fiance -the reason he is constantly trying to get married to stolen princesses-. But! This also shows that he SURVIVED the nuclear war and made himself a fortress after the bomb hit made entirely out of ice.

Another character that can prove the bombing is Marcelline the Vampire Queen. She is a fun loving person with an apatite for trouble making and a good time; but is there more to her than that? Yes. In an episode of Adventure Time, Finn and Jake have to go into Marcelline's mind to steal a memory of hers and give it to a wizard with no arms (who, later, we find out to be an ex boyfriend of hers who just wanted to erase the memory of their break up). While scouting around in her head Finn and Jake see a lot of her past. There is one memory that really sticks out from the rest; Marcelline is a little girl playing with a teddy bear in front of a run down trailer in a trailer park, it seems deserted and left in ruins -possibly during the nuclear war or just in the beginning of it- she is playing by herself and has no friends, its a disturbing scene I will admit. The sky is colored to look dreary and dismal, perfect for a disaster. Another memory they come across that seems strange, her father is sitting in a diner -also appears run down and left in ruin- eating Marcelline's French fries, this really upsets her -in fact she doesn't forgive her father until after she is a vampire and the Land of Ooo has long since taken place of North America- and she gets angry. After forgiving her father for the fry ordeal Marcelline is in the Nightosphere with Finn, Jake, and her father (a place very similar to hell) when her father says something about her being his little girl, she replies "I'm a thousand years old dad," indicating that the disaster happened a very, very long time ago. All proof that Marcelline and her father (later seen in the show after Finn and Jake accidentally call him to the Land of Ooo with a ritual dance that Marcelline showed them) both lived before the Mushroom war and survived it.

Princess Bubblegum is yet another example of people who lived before the Mushroom War. She's a tricky example but it can be proven; In an episode with her and Marcelline it is suggested that they knew each other before the war- suggested but not clarified. The princess knows fluent German and she is an amazing scientist (possibly one who messed with Nuclear stuff before???) who has a knack for wanting to bring back the dead. She is also unlike anyone else in the Candy Kingdom, she is made entirely out of bubblegum BUT she still looks and acts human. Therefore she survived the war.

Finn the human is pretty good example but not exactly the greatest. Finn is in fact a human, which means that he is the only known human left in the Land of Ooo (Susan Strong is implied to be a human after the Beautoipa episode but not proven to be one) which means his parents were probably killed trying to save him. Seeing as he is a human raises the question, why isn't he mutated or effected by the radiation? Is there more like Finn out there? Hmm, possibly.

Susan Strong and the fish people are probably the second greatest example of people who survived the Mushroom War. For centuries they have been hidden deep beneath the surface in a sewer-like place that conceals their Kingdom, Beautopia, which greatly resembles an indoor Mall. When Finn and Jake are removing tree stumps from the ground (as Princess Bubblegum asked them to) they come upon a man hole that is covered with a metal lid. Naturally, with an appetite for adventure, they remove it and follow the tunnel down to the deep underground -that again, looks like a sewer- only to find people who look like humans, with strange hats, hiding behind trash cans, mattresses, and other trash junk. They are terrified of Finn; they shudder and hide as he comes closer (maybe shaken up and still scared from the Bomb). Finn is excited, he had finally found other humans! But, as it turns out, they weren't humans, they were fish people; after removing their hats (similar to Finns "awesome hat") you can see gills and fins sticking out from their heads. But, Susan does not remove her hat. So Finn is lead to wonder if she is also a fish person. It was not until later in the series that you find out that Susan is a human -implied not proven- when they take back beautopia from the "glub glubs" -pool floaties that turn into monsters-. Unfortunately, from the episodes that I've watched, that is the last you see of Susan Strong and the fish people. Can it be that Beautopia is the remains of an American city? Are the fish people just humans who were effected by radiation and just mutated a bit? I think so.

The entire show is the way it is because of the "Great Mushroom War" and all of this is pointed out in the show if you just watch carefully! Well done and a pat on the back to the creators of Adventure Time for this well thought out and complex show! Nuclear war.. who would have thought!? The people of the Land of Ooo are all extremely happy despite their past, but this is what makes it so disturbing! I love it!
