Fun fact: the reason why they made the Simon and marcy background was because in “holly jolly secrets” it showed Ice King dressing up as marceline and singing her “Fry song”. They wanted to make a connection to how the both of them knew each other and we got this tragic back story that flourished into something incredible.
Hmm, I remember it was a long time before they showed Marcy & Ice King interacting, I reckon from early on they had the idea to do something interesting there.
@@chilawomwiinga9567 hes only the ice king now because he repeatedly put back on the crown to protect marceline, essentially hurting himself and slowly making himself insane to save marceline
Eh matter of fact, Ice king knows a lot of stuff, story bout simon, Marceline, ALL OF THOSE STUFF, but his brain burned to crisp, he thought it just some sort of "Fan fiction" And ice king did not made up the story bout fiona and cake, hes able to see what happened in other dimension due to the power of the crown, yes its a lot more than just a ice power, it turned u into evergreen the creator of the crown
His last life lost her arm too and his life in the Pillow World in the episode 'Puhoy'. He lost his arm in that life too. I think there's a connection somehow. Can't believe we anticipated him reuniting with his dad then his dad doesn't remember a thing and what about Betty? And Susan. THEY FORGOT ABOUT SUSAN!
Omg, Rebecca turned Ice King from a supporting character to a main character before she left. She made sure Ice King would have an important part in Adventure Time at first we thought of him as the random jerk who kidnaps princesses because he's lonely. And he turned into the man who we soon found out had a real namee, and a sad past with someone who he basically raised. And we thought of Marciline well I didn't but others did as the evil vampire lady, but in later episodes, she is the girl who never had a farther until she met a certain man, and the whole plot of how the characters grow shows you how CN it self has matured. Adventure Time, Steven Universe, and even Regular show a little had matured CN all over again. It was like CN was an adult but then it became a kid again. And now, it's a kid but slowly maturing. Rebecca Sugar has seriously changed CN it self. People are starting to look at it as more than a channel for kids, but a channel for almost anyone.
I will watch those shows with a smile (exept "over the garden wall" i watched them) exept regular show, that is a "fuck i have nothing to watch show" And then i ask my self "Do i realy want to watch regular show?"
When I was a teenager and this episode/song came out, me and my mom were taking care of my grandpa with severe Alzheimer's. It was the hardest thing we ever went through and as painful as it was to see this episode back then (and as painful as it is for me to listen to this now) it will always have a special place in my heart, bc it showed me at the time that someone knew exactly how I was feeling
I know that Rebecca appreciates how everybody feels about her wrk with AT, but everyone is going to be really excited when she launches "Steven Universe" She has chosen voice actors based on their ability to sing, (one of them is really more a singer than an actor) and has already written a theme song. She promised that there will be lots of songs in SU! So "thumbs up" this and be patient-cartoon shows take a year to get made and she is just starting.!
Lyrics, Your welcome. Marceline, its just you in me in the wreckage of the world, That must be so confusing for a little girl. And i know you're going to need me here with you. But i'm losing myself and I'm afraid your going to lose me too... -MUSIC- But this magic is keeping me alive, But it's making me crazy and i need to save you, But who is going to save me? Please forgive for whatever i do, when I don't remember you -MUSIC- Marceline, I can feel myself slipping away... And i can't remember what it made me say. But i remember that i saw you frown... But i swear it wasn't me, it was the crown! But this magic is keeping me alive, But it's making me crazy! And i need to save you, But who is going to save me? Please forgive for whatever i do, when I don't remember you Please forgive for whatever i do, when I don't remember you Aaaaah Dadadadadadadadadada... Aaaaah Dadadadadadadadadada.
Both of my grandparents on my dads side had dementia and Alzheimer’s. This song came to me at a time in my life when I really needed something to connect to, something that would make sense of all of this. It’s been years since my grandfather died, and my grandmother is still around, but it feels like she died ages ago. When I feel horrible for not visiting her, or breakdown because I know she doesn’t remember me, I listen to this song. It’s comforting.
Alot of people i bet think to them selves, DESTROY THE CROWN DX HE WILL GO BACK TO NORMAL, But, he will die, remember that crown is the thing keeping him alive, he is 1000 years old remember. so he cant take it off, and the reason he didnt throw it away in the first place was because he knew marceline was gonna out live him so he wanted to live longer with the crown so he could be there with marcy even though he wouldnt be him self, he is still there protecting her
That's right, they point that out in the song :D I wonder if he knows anything more about Ooo than anyone else... Or if Bubblegum knows more than anyone else because they're both ancient.
Lol, oh yeah! But, if we've learned anything, there's some truth buried deep in what he says, like how he wants princesses, when he wants his fiance, who was his 'Princess.' He's a riddle.
Coming from a child who has a dad that struggles with addiction.. this song/episode made me really understand him and his mental health. I was able to see that his "problems" (him being derranged with me) wasn't him.. it was "the crown" (his mental health/addiction). I knew he loved me.. and I knew he didn't necessarily want to be the way he was. Much like the Ice King my dad lost himself to something he didn't want to lose himself to.
TheOneFreeman98 It wasn’t actually intentional. While recording, the Omnichord’s battery started to run low. The staff liked the subtle and erratic lowering of the pitch so much that they just kept the Omnichord track from the demo rather than completely re-record a new keyboard accompaniment.
I think Marceline’s backstory, character develop and relation with Simon is something very special. I love this song as it really gives us an insight into raw emotions and it really makes you feel bad for Marceline. She really, really wants to say neutral because she knows Simon doesn’t remember her at all from when she was little. Yet, you can tell she really tries to make the point that she does still care for him :))
The more I think about this, the more I realize Simon ruined his life the second he first wore the crown. Since then, his mental state deteriorated, forcing him to push others away to protect them...ultimately leaving him all alone as the Ice King. The only people who remember the real Simon are either long gone or willingly stay far away from him. This song, along with Simon and Marcy, tells us that even though his mind is fading, he cares deeply about Marceline.
I'm gonna cry like a baby when this show ends. Like I did with Gravity Falls, but ten times worse because this show was a huge part of my life for the time it ran.
There are still plenty of stories to tell in Adventure Time. The show is Pen's and he will always guide the storyline where he wants it to go. They have committed to a sixth season.The fifth season starts November 12th and Rebecca storyboarded three episodes with Cole that will air, including a new Fionna and Cake episode with a Rebecca song in it. Without saying more (CN has rules about that), you will love the other two eps for all the reasons that you've loved the previous ones!
I find it crazy that all the songs and moments that made Adventure Time so emotional and special for me were mostly created by Rebecca. Such incredible contributions to my childhood. I can't thank her enough!
The whole concept of this song and the way it forms in the episode's story is just pure brilliance; that scene where she's reading these letters as if their lyrics, and IK just thinks they're jamming and has zero clue that those were once written by him - bah, you know the scene; for all the weirdness Adventure Time tries out, it's moments like that that keep me watching the show; an entire season of mediocre experimentalism was worth catching that one scene.
7 years late to the party, but Adventure Time is and has always been worth it to me because of just how far they’ll push the envelope. They’re not afraid to try new things or derail the course of something to experiment. Heck, the entire backstory of the show arguably came from a one off episode that spawned a whole bunch of conspiracy theories and them saying “Huh. Imagine if we ran with that…” Does it always work? No. But when it does, it gives some of the most u forgettable moments in all of animation. For better or worse, there is nothing quite like Adventure Time.
Rebecca,before you left At was such a good show ,I know there was lots of filler episodes but those golden ones.Ugh,the feels.not trying to say that 7 season is bad "stakes" was pretty good. writters worked really hard on it,brought the at's golden ages.oh,wait...you worked on it...
rebecca and co. seeing the ice king and turning him into an allegory for alzheimers/brain conditions at older ages is so insanely genius and instantly elevated the show to another level.
This really hits hard when you're living and taking care of someone with alzheimers. You know the person is in pain, and the person knows you're in pain too, but neither of you can do anything. This song is oddly comforting for me.
Sorry to correlate this I'd it offends in any way but that kind of seems like a very similar premise to what's in the show I think of the crown as a drug that he uses to keep functioning which also reminds me of my own deal with my mother who passed a few years ago
I almost cried when Ice King sang this on Adventure time. I actually cried when I heard this version. Good music, great story... maybe the other way around?
Your daughter has amazing composition talent. Surprised they aren't having her stay on and do more of the Ice King/Marceline storylines. Those episodes are a lot more interesting than some of the off-the-wall episodes being aired.
This is by far one of my favorite episodes of any show ever. It's so tragic while at the same time remaining sweet and touching, and truly brings life to the character of the Ice King/Simon. I'm saddened that you're daughter no longer works on AT, but I wish her the best of luck with her new show. She's fan-tastic.
Just finding out about the Ice King's origin as Simon Petrikov was enough of an emotional trip, but then the creators decided to throw an even bigger emotional whammy at the fans by not only surprising us by putting two characters that we've never seen together in the same episode, but also surprising us even further by revealing that they met each other years ago during a horrible time. You feel sorry not only for the Ice King not being able to remember, but for Marceline being aware of that.
i literally cannot listen to this song anymore my grandma is forgetting everything so fast and she doesn’t even know my name anymore all i want is to watch adventure time with her again i want her to hold me and tell me she loves me i want to be her baby again i want her to remember me please
This song gives me the feels. This is my favorite episode of the entire show, it opened up my eyes to how awesome cartoons can be and showed me that they don't always have to be stupid. This show really made my expectations for cartoons high, and Steven Universe made it even higher!
I never saw ice king as evil To put it simply I saw him as a man who lost everything he cared about, a man who faded away from reality and now kidnaps the princesses for company cause he lost HIS princess. Aka Betty
No, Rebecca will not voice any characters, but she has amazing voice talent for her new show. And I DO get to see some of the new material, but it is all really under wraps because CN is worried about leaking info that might hurt launching the show. And even tho I am her Dad, they don't trust me. But I know stuff, oh yes I do, Awesome stuff.
10 years later, Steven Universe changed the artform, earned 6 Emmy nominations and 1 win, and impacted millions. Adventure Time honors Rebecca Sugar with a cameo voicing a symbolic adventure time character, and comes to pass there are two spinoffs one based entirely on exploring the depth of story this song introduced. Received a GLAAD award and a Peabody. She even releases an independent album. What an adventure. And here your comment is as the first fan, Awesome stuff indeed.
when I was really super young my grandma was dying of cancer. Her medicine made her extremely angry to the point where she would scream and yell at little 7 year old me like she didn’t know me. She would feel so bad after but she couldn’t really do anything. She died a few months later. Now I feel guilty because I can’t even remember what she looked like.
I've been following and admiring Rebecca Sugar's stuff since late '08, from when Pug Davis was her first full work, to hearing that she got a job working on Adventure time, and now I can admire her beautiful songs and ideas featured in that show. She is a wonderful artist and inspiration to me. c:
this is why i hope rebecca sugar comes back to AT one day...now with her leaving and the liches death the show has gone down to what it was before mortal folly not as serious and mature as it was before (looking at sadface and food chain)
The main problem is that there's no overarching story arc between the episodes. The episodes are sporadic like in Season 1, rather than following an actual plot like in Season 5. There are still good episodes here and there, but as a whole, it's much more disorganized. Also, I wonder what happened to the episodes...We haven't had a new one in well over a month. It's not unusual for AT to have long mid-season breaks, but this one is turning out to be a little longer than usual. I'm hoping that our next episode will return the sense of depth that I used to love AT for so much. Jake's half brother isn't really much to go on. Anyways, if you really miss Sugar that much, you might want to check out her other show, Steven Universe. It's basically like Remember You or What Was Missing every single episode.
josif c Ok, maybe that's a bit of an exaggeration...Still, though, there's a lot of drama and backstory, and the songs are amazing of course. There's a song near the end of the season that's sung by Pearl that makes me tear up every time I think of it, similar to Remember You.
I find it crazy that the candy version of Marceline was actually thought up here, she’s in one of the background images! Probably was just a test design for Marcy at the time, but it’s a nice way to pay tribute
It took so many years before this song really hit hard, because i lost my dad to kidney failure, and he was starting to regress so much that i didn't know how to react to the moment he called my by his eldest daughter's name. I've always been having nightmares about it, where I'm always happy to see him but he doesn't recognize me anymore. Just recently i finally had the AT bug on the mind. And i forgot how these songs are deeply impactful.
This song remind me my relation with my grandma, who take care of me as a dad and mom at the same time since i was 2 to now... She Is everything even if we r a Little broken and messy
I cant even say how many fandoms and others could use this song. Of course TWD, but i could see this for Steven universe. Hear me out, i can just see this as a tainted gem saying this to their friend/girlfriend/ect... right before they go insane and turn into one of those monsters. Just had to put this out there.
Just wanna say, Rebecca's run on Adventure Time was one of the highest points in the series, this song alone has a way of bringing me to tears, and I thank her for her, for adding something so amazing to the world!
this is kind of weird, but i just had an anxiety attack over literally nothing and then I listened to a few rebbecca sugar demos and i instantly calmed down. i'm so glad i found these
when you have family members with dementia and alzheimer’s this hits a lot different and next thing you know you’re howling into a pillow at 3 am feeling so broken
I am in literal tears at this moment.This is just so beautiful and emotional,it makes me feel guilty about eveything I've done to people,weather it be a harmlesse or physical violence,I just want to dial them up and cry and appologize and never give them a chance to say its okay because it isn't.
Thank you, Rebecca, for a simple song that has changed me forever. I don't have the words to express my gratitude. It's your words that saved me and helped me give everything I am and ever will be to my daughter. I love you. The world be damned, it's all for her.
This is amazing! I've been looking for this song in its entirety all day! Rebecca is an amazing writer and will be sorely missed from AT. Thank you for posting these!
I always loved the episodes that Rebecca had a hand in for she has a way with songs and you can tell she puts a little of herself in each song (whether it is playful, creative, etc). In this song, you can tell she had put her heart into it
Can someone give me more insight to that description? It says Rebecca Sugar had ideas regarding Marcaline and Ice King's past and regarding Marcy's mom. In the time since this video was published, these ideas were explored and added to the canon. But how much of the additions were from Rebecca Sugar? Was anything changed? Did Sugar have ideas that weren't added in?
Rebecca is so artistically gifted! As a writer, cartoon artist, and a musician! It's enough to make anyone jealous but in a good way. So much talent packed in one person. It's just incredible!
I wish i was friends with Rebecca. Her music talent is amazing and her work on Steven universe makes me breathless. Getting to know someone like her would finish my life goals.
Josh Bloom You make it sound like she did it for that reason, but the description text suggests that they put the omnichord in the episode simply because that's what she used to play it in the demo.
Thank you so much Rebecca... For the music filled with so much emotion... You've reminded me that many of us the darkest of pasts... Thank you...for making me cry... One more time...
Man I remember when this show just came out saving CN after that horrible collapse post 2007. Feels like yesterday when I was watching this with my siblings. Good times
