Could you imagine Marceline, Finn and Jake waking up after being frozen for a while and then realizing all that was left of Simon was dust and his useless crown.
Pretty sure at fin and Jake just don't exsist in this timeline or like the main one wouldn't know how bad he is.fin and Jake slowly through the show learn how bad pb was . He said 100 years so they wouldn't know what he did unless he told them or they somehow found out, they probably surve him like how he served pb so they wouldn't be frozen
@@The_Mem A good point to consider is that the only way I can envision them being frozen like that is if Marcy had informed them, and they ended up frozen alongside her. However, it's likely that she got frozen before they were even born.
That line put in this context shows that while Winter King said he loved Marciline, he ultimately only sees her as a race to be looked down upon and hated, which really shows that in this universe he is still the equivalent to Princess Bubblegum
@@StardewCarrotMaybe this Simon is Extrovert but is Genius is TEACHER Cool and Betty party of students secret love because Dont remember Betty is simply Adventure of TEACHER Pervert.
Not sure if it's intentional. But I like to think that the brief red outlines of Simon is his old self trying to break through. And killing Marceline was the last thing needed to completely crush the man that was Simon Petrikov and usher in the Winter King.
I like near the end with Winter King in tears as he kills or accidentally kills Marcelina. Likely arguing with him that he needs to fix things, PB, but as some can tell you? There is no greater fear of someone pulled from Hell then being told by someone they love that they have to go back to it.
I remember someone pointing out that part of Ice Kings insanity is the love he felt for Betty. By removing his insanity that would also mean removing Simons love for certain people in his life. Which is why even though Winter King is free of his insanity he’s still not Simon
@@fist-of-doom487exactly he’s just functional ice king remember the ice king is based on evergreen or well how Gunter saw him a intelligent cruel ice wizard so without Simon’s love that’s all that’s left
Incredible animatic, I love the details, how Candy Queen looks in love and with puppy eyes, at the man who ruined her entire life for 100 years, the coldness and then regret of Winter King when killing Marcy and like everything "His wonderful world of ice" was an escapism from his actions.
@@alexthedemon2203 Yep, although the series doesn't pay attention to it, basically 40% of OOO for 100 years ended up consumed by ice and candy, all of the citizens of candy and Neddy (PB's brother) are dead (being the only reason why PB remained alive and sane) and Marceline (and maybe Finn and Jake, since the GrassLands are also affected) are dead. O.O.
Ouu, the way WK first realizes he's lucid and goes to check up on PB but sees that she's now insane instead make me think that it's almost accidental, like Ice King cast a spell and didn't know what it entailed since you know how he is the show. If IK was in the same state of insanity with similar if not the same events happening in their timeline until he turned into WK, then that spell most likely was cast on accident with WK realising he could finally move on from insanity and leave PB the way she was.
It's crazy to think of the possibility that Winter King actually killed the adult Marceline, and then replaced her with a young living ice sculpture. It certainly makes sense. If Marceline found out about his deeds and tried to stop him, (which would make him insane again) then the Winter King might really kill her. Replacing her with a younger, less rebellious copy. After all, Winter King is one of the most powerful magic users we have seen. So, the price of sadness and madness must be correspondingly high, to justify that. Making this a very plausible backstory for Winter King.
This is super well made, and in a way shows that the Winter King is far past what our Ice King's insanity developed into. Because at least our Ice King never wanted to hurt anyone, ever. But Winter King was willing to let Princess Bubblegum suffer a century of insanity if it meant he was able to be "sane". Not to mention Winter King's willingness to get rid of any opposition.... aka Marceline
Holy crap this is so good, I love how you draw expressions! The part with Winter King and Marceline gave me chills, especially at 1:15 , the framing/angle is so ominous yet tragic! Really well done!
This is great! I actually thought that Iceking transferring out his madness to PB was an accident at first. But one Winter King took advantage of and didn't correct because... it felt good to be out again. But I love the implications on what he did to Marceline too! And where she is in all of this.
I gotta say, the saddest thing to see or one of them was the little Marceline. In just 2 scenes. One where she is happy and the next she is nothing but a puddle.
“Tell me do you demons bleed” in this context shows that while Winter King said he loved Marciline, he ultimately only sees her as a race to be looked down upon and hated, which really shows that in this universe he is still the equivalent to Princess Bubblegum.
Incredible animatic! The camera, the movements, the Winter King's design - everything is perfect. The idea to make Winter King's hair long is absolutely perfect. I don't know how, but he somehow looks even more gorgeous with the long hair. The song is ideal both for the animatic and the story of the Winter King. You've done it so well that I personally consider this animatic canon. Thank you very much! This animatic is now a part of the Fionna and Cake fandom legacy.
Actually my favorite video on the internet ever!?!?! I saw this on Instagram and went absolutely nuts over it once already and now I get to see it again!!! Seriously the song choice fits so perfectly with the story going on, and there's so so much emotion and expressiveness in how you draw, it is truly amazing! I love how the winter king looks talking to the candy queen, it's like he's trying to explain his actions to a little kid who doesn't understand, also I love the super long hair on winter king! The part with Marceline is so tragic and sad in literally the best way possible!! Marcy's face when she's frozen is so spooky and chilling (pun fully intended) and winter king loos so devastated and heartbroken about it!?!? Like, I wish something like this was in the show, it would have fleshed out the Winter King and his story so much! Tysm for blessing me and the rest of the fandom with this absolutely masterpiece work of art! Keep up the amazing work!! :D
To be fair it might have been harder to tap into that since the aspects of his sadness and strong emotions that are wgat make Simon Simon get taken into PB. Like how Simon loves Betty but we see him seem notbto care about her anymore....implies that his insanity was tied very deeply into his sadness at people in his past which is why his insanity in pb made jim have less deep emotions. Though it would have been neat to see if naybe he did deeply grieve for a second whike connected him to his original insanity in pb for a second before winter king actively chose to avoid thinking of the past to not risk the insanity coming back.
This is sooo good!!! The camera movement, emotions, angle shots!!! Can you maybe make a tutorial on how to make animatics like these? And maybe show your process? (Or say what programms do you use)I am a beginner animator and would be really interested 🩵🛐
I like what I’ve seen a couple other people have said around here. Winter King isn’t Simon, he’s just the sane version of Ice King. I think that especially gets represented well here, with the red flashes of Simon as if he’s trying to break through.
there is a theory that WK isn't really Simon, but Ice King with sanity. And with Simon's memories, so he knows who Betty is. But doesn't feel the same about her as our Simon. And I think that's because he wasn't there, he's not the one who loved her. But ice Marcie he created hints what she was important enough for him to make an ice replica. And that's because Simon met Marcie after crown's madness started affecting him, so the WK's personality was probably born around that time, so he remembers Marcie and feels connection with her, because he was there
I'm obsessed with this. I can't put in words everything I feel thanks to this masterpiece. This is just TOO PERFECT. The song... What a perfect choice. It's like lyrics were written specifically for the Winter King. "Insane". This word is litterally character's main theme. And the playful mood of the music fits him incredibly. The way it is illustrated... Completes every single line. The dynamic of this animation... Oh~ Amazing, beautiful, great! That's a real music video here. The story fits canon in every possible way. And should I even tell how gorgeous the long hair Winter King is? This appearance makes so much sense in the first place. And it's also such a pleasure to see. The way it's drawn and completes the story... Ok, I'm dead, ble 😵💘
Amazing animatic! I love how you interpret how everything went down when the winter king decided to pass on his insanity. the Marcy part was incredible and I love all the f,ashes you do to Simon and ice king. I love how you can see the guilt that winter king feels when he kills Marcy :’) Awesome animatic!! 🫶🏼💙
It's such an interesting idea for a character to essentially have the memories and the memory of feelings, but be so completely detached to them. Like Winter King crying with the blank expression, or seeing nothing wrong with making an Ice Marcy, just seeing it as a way to make it better in his eyes. Its like being an alright person, but put of happenstance rather than any degree of care or morals.
even though Marceline is frozen she wouldn't die from the ice pierced in her stomach since I am pretty sure they reveal that she has the ability to heal herself from anything such as sunburn, poison, and cut wounds or the fact she's an immortal cause of it since she ate the soul of a vampire (im guessing he was) that has the ability to heal themselves but freezing her in ice would work until became dust. aside from that, this video is amazing and fits the Winter King in my point of view especially when he gives Marceline the stare when it goes "Tell me, do you demons Bleed", was just perfect for him.
Lovely animation, makes me wonder if the spell was purely intentional, or done by accident and he just loved being the Winter King so much he refused to go back, even with the price of Bubblegum becoming insane. Also makes me think this whole world might be the result of Marceline wishing Ice King wasn't insane anymore to Prismo, which went its natural Monkey's Paw route. Given how 3/5 worlds we saw were result of wishes(Baby World was made by BMO, Dead World by the Lich, Farm World by Finn.) it stands to reason that was why things went differently here.
this is deadly, i honestly wonder what it would have been like if we saw him if he was himself again. Free from the crown yk? Do you think he'd actually retain some memories
You mean see how Simon would have reacted if he didn't turn into dust? Getting all of his emotions and actual sanity....probably deep deep grief..not that we'll ever know....lowkey though hiw is he going to die instantly when our Simon had at least a hour right before he started actively dying?
@@clarisacalderon9555hi this reply is two weeks late but :3 the way i make sense of it is that in the episode “betty”, the crowns magic was still technically present, just absorbed into bella noche. meanwhile in the winter kings case, all of the crowns magic was removed instantly. hoping i managed to explain it properly i wrote this while extremely tired hsshsh
Some people speculate over WK possibly killing or freezing Marcy, you doubled down on the angst by having her frozen right as she was impaled- meaning she might not of been fully dead before freezing.
