Well, was my excitement worth it? Or was “Obsidian” a big ol’ let down-a tragic victim to grandiose expectations that were never meant to be fulfilled? We were going to get another Marceline episode, and it was going to dive back into her elaborate backstory!?! I could barely contain my excitement as I waited for the episode to drop. In an instant, I tossed my stoic “I-am-satisified-with-what-I-received” mentality right out the window. ![]() I was happy.īut then, about a year ago, news dropped that one of the Distant Lands specials would really delve into the history of Marceline and Bubblegum’s relationship. ![]() I didn’t need for every last detail of her life to be explicitly shown on screen. Nevertheless, when “Island Song” played for the last time at the end of “Come Along with Me,” I forced myself to push aside this minor, fannish grievance and applaud the show for writing such an excellent character. By the time the series ended, the vampire’s life had in more ways than one been woven into the very fabric of the show’s mythology.īut because I am a Marceline fanboy-whose zeal for her majesty is rivaled perhaps only by Glassboy himself-I always felt like the show could have done even more with her backstory I mean, when the series finale aired, there were still plenty of questions that had yet to be answered (What happened to her mom? What is Simon going to do now that he’s “cured”? How did Marcy and Bubblegum meet? Were they romantically involved before the events of the main series? How did it all go south?). In many ways, Marceline really was the writers’ gold goose, engendering complex story after complex story. Of all the many colorful characters in Adventure Time perhaps none has a more elaborate backstory than Marceline the Vampire Queen.
