But the one quick back and forth that the two have here, a somewhat loathing “hey Marceline” from PB and a teasy “Helloooo Bonnibel” with a wiggly finger wave from Marcy, hints at a larger past for the two of them and is fundamental for the relationship that we see develop throughout the show. Unsurprisingly Bubblegum does not enjoy either of these things at all, and at the most basic level the episode serves to emphasize the difference in the PB’s reserved and proper nature with Marceline’s rowdier, more wild nature.

There are a number of things Marcy tells Finn to “help” him get PB to want to go to the movie night with him – including wrestling PB because that’s “fun,” or releasing wolves into her bedroom because that’s “exciting” and, according to Marceline at least, girls love fun and excitement. Jake calls Marceline and asks her to help Finn by making Bubblegum jealous, and because she thinks it’ll be funny, Marcy agrees. This leads Jake to (rather questionably) tell Finn that he just needs to help Bubblegum “realize” that she does actually want to go. The episode is special for how it sets them apart, which makes them getting (back) together that much more meaningful, and for giving us our first (very small) hint of their past relationship.įinn asks PB to go to a couples-only movie night, but she says that she’s too busy. Go With Me is the first episode to feature substantial screen time for both Marceline and Princess Bubblegum, though they don’t share much of that time together. While this definitely isn’t the nicest moment for the two, it’s an important part of the story for them and shows that no matter what they’ll stick by each other. Marshmaline is candy elemental Bubblegum’s right hand woman, she clearly loves her spire monarch and is willing to fight her former friends Finn and Jake to make sure that Bubblegum can “fix” them by turning them into candy as well. But this aggressive sweetness isn’t the real Marcy, and Bubblegum’s belief that she “fixed” everything and everyone by turning them into candy isn’t the real Bubblegum.īut while the two have been distorted into false versions of themselves, their love for one another remains. This change has turned Marceline into Marshmaline the Campfire Queen, changing her body into marshmallows and altering her personality to become overly sweet.
In Skyhooks, the first episode of the miniseries, we see that Princess Bubblegum has been transformed into a giant spire of gum, having become pure candy elemental, and that much of the world around her has also changed into candy, including characters like Mr.
Skyhooks/All of Elements (s9, e2 – e9)Įlements, the last of the three miniseries Adventure Time had in its later years, doesn’t contain nearly as much PB and Marcy content as the Stakes miniseries (more on that later), but it shows that Bubblegum and Marceline’s love can withstand almost anything. There are too many episodes to count that give us fantastic moments from the two individually, so here I’m focusing on episodes that highlight their relationship and give us some of the greatest Bubbline moments the show has to offer.ġ0. With the duo’s special episode of Adventure Time: Distant Lands, ‘Obsidian’, set for release on November 19th, I wanted to take a look back at some of their best episodes from the original run of Adventure Time. So as the show begins to develop their relationship, particularly their apparent past relationship, viewers get to see two of their favorite, or at least two of the most interesting, characters on the show get closer and make each other better. They are introduced as fully distinct characters, they relate to Finn and Jake separately from each other for most of the first two seasons beyond a few group hangs here and there, and, spoiler alert, one episode that appears on this list. The fact that they are such different characters makes their romance arc one of the major successes of the show. They’re characters that fans of Adventure Time alternately love and, well, don’t love so much (though let’s be honest, Marcy gets way more love) at different times for a variety of reasons. I’ve said it before and I will certainly say it again: Marceline and Princess Bubblegum is one of the greatest romances of all time.
